How to spy on the Russian Navy... For free!

[Cybermat47]

First, open google earth. Type in Polyarny. Look around the place, and you will see several Alfa, Sierra, or Akula submarines around the place! Then, go to Severomorsk, and you will see the bulk of the Russian surface fleet, including the Battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy. Then, to Severodvinsk, to see the aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, soon to join the ranks of the Indian Navy, and all of the Typhoon class SSBNs.

And now to the German port of Eckenförde, to see the 1st Unterseebootgeschwader of the Bundesmarine, and across several oceans to Garden Island, Western Australia, to see half of Australia's submarine fleet.

I didn't realise half the Aussie submarine fleet was servicable

I used their Street View to locate the Royal Navy -

(this is using a legal computer program, so the Russians can't accuse you of being a ***1065;!

Yeah but the problem with Google Earth is knowing what date the pictures were taken.

If you use Google Earth you can choose between different years. If you want a little treat, go to Guam on the 6/7/2006.

Really, for a six year old picture, from space, that's been in the public domain for at least a couple of years, for an aircraft that will have been photographed thousands of times at every public event it's attended.

Clearly it's the FSB who'll be after him for his photos of the Tupolev PAK DA. He got them from Alexander Litvinenko on 31 Oct 2006*.

*Yes I know the historical accuracy isn't there, but just play along children.
