Russian Attack Submarine Sailed in Gulf of Mexico Undetected For Weeks, U.S. Officials Say

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

It is only the second time since 2009 that a Russian attack submarine has patrolled so close to U.S. shores.

The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow.

Why didn't they just put it on a boat trailer in Cozumel and drive it over the U.S. border? No one would have noticed.

If it's presence in US waters was actually confirmed after it left,our government knew it all along.Once they've occupied Cuba expect to see their ships and subs on a regular basis.

also don't be surprised because hell our govt could have asked them to do it, to see... but prob not...

Also how does this make you feel knowing that a man can walk onto an airport runway after claiming the fence, and now the Russians are showing up undetected? is that security thing they say worth all this? is the haste at the airport worth this?

yeah you can't come on the plane with water but sure we will let a nuke sub shoot off our shores...

Either very poorly written or very naive.. Just how in the heck do we know this is "only the second time"?

Those of us with experience with "Boomers" and Fast Attacks know better!

Cuts in defense will only allow more of this and we do nothing. And you don't think someone crazier than Hitler lurks in the shadows? Don't be naive! We have become vulnerable despite what Obama will tell you. Don't listen to a word he says. Watch what he does or doesn't do. Many Americans seem to have short-term memories.
