I read this morning that the entire Soviet submarine fleet put to sea this morning, just like in the film Red October, to chase down the rogue sub!
I've been a planefag for a while, this last 10 - 14 days the amount of sub hunters (P8) off the Florida East coast has been astonishing. I think yesterday there were 8 and one stage, but always 2 - 3 and more.
"Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only, please."
With heard a lot from Putin also this last few hours, from the Biden "killer" remark to the challenge of a "LIVEstream" - was Putin hinting Biden couldn't and he knew it?
Neither a P8 or P3 is going to pick up a sunken sub. They track subs using passive listening devices/buoys, although they do have active buoys that they can use to actively track a sub with sonar. Perhaps the passive ones could hear banging on the hull if that was happening. Otherwise I suspect they would need surface ships with specialized gear that can map the bottom with sonar in order to find it. Unless of course there is a "black box" deployed that is giving off a signal.
One slight addition, the P3's have a Magnetic Anomaly Detector (that boom sticking out the back) that can detect a sunken sub if they flew almost directly over it. Not sure what a P8 has for that type equipment.
Tbh I was surprised to hear they're still running Kilos, those are old boats (comparable to our Los Angeles Flight 1 class fast attack subs) (Source: hubs was a sonar tech on an LA class sub in the early 2000s) I do hope and pray that it's not a repeat of the Kursk. US hasn't lost a sub since the Thresher (1963) and the Scorpion (1968) Submariners are a very tight family across the globe and when the Kursk was lost, we mourned with them. Call me weird, but it still bugs the shit out of me that they raised her. Feels like disturbing a grave. God bless them all.
We've been in the Florida Keys the past few weeks as we normally spend a month each year down here, having done so the past 8 years. I can tell you that we have seen a large number of Military Aircraft off the coast flying at vey low altitudes in a sweeping pattern. There have always been occasional military planes flying out of NAS Key West that will fly overhead, but nothing to the extent of the activity over the past 5 days. We were wondering why there was so much activity in a region that you wouldn't normally observe it as such...

Russian tweet was on the 18th making it public, so the search could have been going on for more than several days
No US.
Apparently, although I can now see no news about it?
Oh FFS ok Russians, you get the point yes? Yes my mistake, the USSR ended in 91. Are you a geography teacher or just pedantic.
There is also "Watch the water"

The P-8s and P-3s have been hammering the east coast for at least 2 weeks. Something is up for sure.

Monkey has no clue and he stated so and that sub disappeared on the other side of the world. Those p8’s have been sweeping long before that happened
... Long before they told us it happened. Do you still believe everything you're told?

Is the sub's captain a mason?

Thanks for giving local info
