Two retired U.S. Naval submarine commanders downplayed the significance of the Russian presence, saying the ship presents little threat to U.S. security. Such Russian intelligence ships routinely patrol areas outside U.S. naval bases and track U.S. and allied forces' naval exercises.
The U.S. Coast Guard said it is tracking the ship's course, but would not disclose the location.
its around 4500 if they do it around greenland
thats probably what they did
"The U.S. Coast Guard is aware of a Russian Federation-flagged vessel transiting international waters off the East coast of the United States, as we are of all vessels approaching the U.S. The ship has not entered U.S. territorial waters, which extend 12 miles out to sea," the Coast Guard said in a statement.
if they did it
Anyone remember when we saved a Russian sub from arctic ice
The ship began the trip north along the coast from Havana, where it was photographed and is expected to return.
The ship is the "Victor Leonov" a Russian intelligence ship.
Wonder if it's a shakedown run
denmark would have noticed as well
New systems test
idk how they could possibly do that
Slav magic
the ship goes 18 mph
I'm certain it can go much faster
it wouldve taken 10 days full speed for that thing to cross fucking greenland's territory to get here
Fuck, our capitals push 35 knots
not to mention go around greenland
Because it is international waters. Denmark wouldn't likely inform the US immediately. Also that Denmark isn't actively patrolling international waters nor does it have the capable technology that the US has to detect ships at far range.
11 days
what did?
the ship?
Egp we don't know its max speed
The ship.
i just googled it
the ships models max speed is 16 knots
Please don't tell me you think wiki naval stats are reliable
^
i mean
It's Russia they aren't telling the world their full naval capabilities
seems accurate for a 1988 ship
Lolwhut
Ww2 cruisers were twice as quick
^
There was even a ww1 ship that pushed 30 iirc
"I wouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill," Candler said. "It's a ship, but it's not the Great White fleet. And it is not uncommon for all kinds of ships from all kinds of places to be all over the world. A military ship up here all by itself is kind of unusual. But these kinds of ships — and we do the same thing — go all over the place to stay reasonably accustomed to the waters."
nvm
yeah i just checked american ships
Yeah , wiki lies
The 300-foot, SSV-175 Viktor Leonov, is packed with electronic gear to monitor sonar and communications. It is armed with defense weaponry. For years, it has been patrolling near East Coast U.S. Naval installations and was spotted two years ago near the Navy's Trident ballistic missile submarine base in Kings Bay, GA.
