Default Russian submarine seen entering the Baltic Sea early on the morning of 9 July

I have a suggestion for the Secretary of the Navy ...

Lets drop some underwater drones from ASW helios and use them to buss this Russian K-266 back to it's home waters.
You know like they buss our patrol planes with their fighter jets coming within feet of disaster to frighten our Navy patrol planes.

Retrieve them and scare them underwater ...
Would they report it?
What could they do?

A powerful Russian nuclear submarine spotted entering the Baltic Sea

A powerful Russian nuclear-powered submarine – an Oscar-II class, believed to be the Orel (K-266) – has been seen entering the Baltic Sea early on the morning of 9 July.

Much of the work such gliders do is oceanographic in nature, collecting data about the water’s temperature, salinity, clarity, currents and eddies. Such information is critical for calibrating sonar to ensure it provides the most accurate underwater picture possible. But there are additional efforts underway to convert such data into militarily-handy information.

The US Navy has been seeking—pretty much under the surface—a way to do underwater what the Air Force has been doing in the sky: prowl stealthily for long periods of time, and gather the kind of data that could turn the tide in war.

The Navy’s goal is to send an underwater drone, which it calls a “glider,” on a roller-coaster-like path for up to five years. A fleet of them could swarm an enemy coastline, helping the Navy hunt down minefields and target enemy submarines.

Unlike their airborne cousins, Navy gliders are not powered by aviation fuel. Instead, they draw energy from the ocean’s thermocline, a pair of layers of warm water near the surface and chillier water below.

Like the TK208 a couple of years back she is coming up the Baltic for Navy day the water is too shallow to dive the boat and is proceeding in accordance to the rules of the road.

Now should we buzz them ? we already have done so and the big thing about this is we do it to them often and just as much as they do it to us, but alas the Russians are technically operating in waters that are just as much theirs as they are Sweden Norway Denmark and other baltic states.

Her transit will likely be followed by type 212 a gotland and the polish Orzel in a relay if you like.

This is really uncomfortable territory for a project 949A boat because she is so large and the diving depths plus available space is so limited for her.
