Russian Nuclear Sub Surfaces Off South Florida—3 Destroyers Deploy In Closest Standoff Since 1962

Russian Nuclear Sub Surfaces Off South Florida—3 Destroyers Deploy In Closest Standoff Since 1962
 
In June 2024, U.S. military radars spotted a Russian nuclear-powered submarine close to South Florida, only 30 miles from the coast. This raised concern and led to a careful response from the U.S. Navy, marking the most noticeable Russian naval presence near American waters in decades.

Pentagon officials described this as a routine operation, but it evoked memories of Cold War times and raised questions about today's maritime security.

Probably dropping off or picking up a spy.

Despite the propaganda in the news that they are super stealthy, Ruskie subs are noisey buggers.  Pretty sure we were following well before the sighting.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Like the Chinese "weather balloon" from year earlier? Probably trying to see how close they could get....
