Looks like the Dutch got caught out. I wonder how many othe

American and French because there are American and French in the area.

Probably Royal Navy too since they're in the region.

Can confirm HMS Astute passed Crete

>Literally only source of the actual "detection" is Russia saying "we easily spotted a specifically Dutch submarine with two ships, identified it for an hour and chased it away!"
>Literally no way the story can be verified as having happened or not

So basically after an entire journey of being mocked and denied at every turn, they're now trying to make up stories to save face.

>>31952726
It's not at all unusual, happened all the time during the Cold War on both sides. Hell even recently, both in America, Europe and Russia.

But you'll never get verification because absolutely no one talks about sub operations.

>A sub trailing 20 miles behind is a "provocation", but buzzing US ships at over 500 knots 20 feet from the bridge is ok

Fucking Russians man

>>31952752

The difference is most countries say "We think we spotted something and took a look, if it was there, it's not anymore. Most likely it was Russian, if there was something."

Meanwhile Russia's like IT WAS DEFINITELY DUTCH COS WE ROCK AT ASW AND WE CHASED IT OFF EASILY PAT ATTENTION TO MEEEEEE

Slight difference.

Stay mad, hard to believe but majority of people are actually okay with russians

>>31952752
sometimes you do though, like the one time when a norwegian trawler caught a whiskey

>>31952752
In fact it was happening so much, collisions between NATO and USSR subs were fairly regular occurrences over the decades

>>31952754
A sub at firing depth behind your ship is a provocation. A plane with no armaments>>31952811
buzzing your ship is banter.

>>31952842
That's hilarious, it's not even rude until they flood their tubes.

Even at 20 miles distance?

Can't be too careful with those Muslim Capitalist Gay European dildo torpedoes

Could be worse. Either a russian Krokodill-class full of aids, or a Indian PooLoo-class loaded with Curry #4

>>31955216
Why do we tolerate these IRL shitposters?

>>31952752
The fucking OP article says a sub getting spotted like this has never happened before. It was a quote from a sub expert, too.

When was the cold war back on? About the time of the Ukraine or earlier, in Georgia?

>>31953043
This.

Lurking Sub is "banter" until tubes flooded and firing solution is made.

>>31955580
it was never off comrade

>>31955580
After Serbia likely

>>31955216
>If we keep keep shitposting, they won't actually know where we are when we don't

Sasuga, Australia.

>>31955006
the Oranjes use US made Mk-48 torpedos

Wait we have submarines?
I thought we sold or mothballed them all.

>>31956900
topkek, no one gives a shit, not even russia, cold war 2.0 was all syria and ukraine and the lead up to it

>>31952370
Legitimate question:

How much more difficult is it to spy on a surface group as a sub in heavily trafficked and less deep waters such as the Med in comparison to the deeper waters in the big oceans?

I thought diesel subs were undetectable? Did Russians lie to me?

Here's a good analysis of it, translated from Dutch
