I dosen't know a Russian Submarine was given shelter in Florida - before Sandy was approtatching in 2012 - I would have been imposible just a 25 years ago - that a russian submarine was given shelter in the US - just think about the nightmare for the russian navy - having one of its submarines in the US... I guess they still was not to happy about the posiblity of a russian sub in the US - but then it was when US and Russia was on better terms than today... I guess the captain onboard that submarine had to explain himself rather clearly when the submarine was coming home after that experience - after all - russians have a rather paranoid attitude about their submarines - they tend to like to have control over it all...

It are of no suprise for me that Putin is ramping up its survilance activities - both ways, to keep aircrew airworthy - to train new crews - and to gatter information from different sources about NATO, and Swedish Intel systems - I guess the same is happening in the shaddows against Russia too... After all - it is a tit for tat game - where both sides - or many sides are playing the same old game about not been couth in spying - but doing it all the time..
