Russian Submarine Activity Surges 50% Since 2014, Admiral Claims "Not Saber-Rattling"
With US forces moving into Poland, Russian "rapid-response" drills underway, and navy exercises in the Baltic Sea, the idea of "saber-rattling" now seems obvious. However, as NATO closes in on its borders, the Russian Navy’s commander, Admiral Chirkov, stated that the intensity of Russian submarines’ combat patrol missions has been up 50% since the beginning of 2014. As the nation celebrates "Submariner Day", Chirkov explained, "we do not indulge in saber rattling... this is necessary and natural for guaranteed security of the state."
As TASS reports,
The intensity of Russian submarines’ combat patrol missions has been up 50% since the beginning of 2014, the Russian Navy’s commander, Admiral Chirkov, said on the occasion of Submariner Day.
"I can say that the intensity of combat patrol missions by strategic and multi-role nuclear-powered submarines in the World Ocean is maintained at a level that guarantees the security of our country.
Moreover, I should say that in January 2014 through March 2015 the intensity of combat patrol missions by our submarines has been up by 50% in contrast to 2013," Chirkov said.
"This is necessary and natural for guaranteed security of the state," Admiral Chirkov said. "We do not indulge in saber rattling. We are just regaining our foothold," he said.
Chirkov said last year alone ten crews were trained for Northern and Pacific Fleet submarines, expected to patrol various parts of the World Ocean.

This comes a day after Chirkov explained that Russia will upgrade 10 of its multi-purpose nuclear submarines...
"This process is accompanied by the work to maintain the combat readiness of existing-project strategic nuclear submarines and their basic armaments," the Navy chief said.

Nope, no saber-rattling byu eother side at all...

Who do they think they are?! Where do they get off driving their subs in our oceans?!?!
And none have sunk yet! WTG Vlad!
Latvia's Ministry of Defense is now exhibiting the peculiar Swedish behavior of pants pooping over Russian submarines and/or driftwood.

I would just love to see one pop off one of our beaches, open the hatches and a bunch of XXX porno stars crank up a Bud Light party on deck for all to see with the music booming loudly.
The old farts around here would die off faster from the shock than a nuke attack.

Sadly we no longer have McHale's Navy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNvibK9jgYA
Ernie Borgnine used to use the boat for fishing in the weekends in Cali.
Instead we have McCain's (NeoCon) Navy where Admiral McCain covered up the USS Liberty and refused to send F-4s and US Navy help. The first ship to render aid to the USS Liberty was Russian.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHbIL8YIM0w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7XoSR0nGms
Here's another one you can add to McCain's dossier, "The Mystery of Senator McCain". It's written in Russian, but the machine translation of it is good enough to make it understandable.
It's based on an interview with retired Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Trushechkin shortly before his death in January 2009. He was a member of the Soviet rocket squad that shot down McCain. (During the first two years of service of the S-75 SAM, they were operated by Soviet crews.) This interview is the only one given by Trushechkin in which he went into any detail about the incident.
The account given of what happened to McCain while in captivity differs in many ways from the account given by McCain himself. I am not in a position to say which story is more accurate. Nevertheless, the article offers a possible reason why, "in the fevered brain of McCain for so many years is completely impenetrable fortress of hatred for everything connected with Russia," and the explanation doesn't rely on any torture scenario.

-In the future, a fleet of heavy transport aircraft will reportedly be capable of moving a strategic unit of 400 Armata tanks, with ammunition, to anywhere in the world. And probably at hypersonic speed, enabling Russia to mount a global military response.those are beautiful. And i used to be a submariner!
good luck building that, there won't be a russia in 2024.
Exactly, there won't be a Russia in 1945.

While on RT I clicked this and it had me laughing.
Coca-Cola pays health experts to suggest soda as a healthy snackhttp://rt.com/usa/241317-coca-cola-health-experts-paid/
Supposedly coke paid nutrition expert/bloggers to say coke is perfect. These bloggers were asked if they got paid and said they couldn't remember.
Maybe if they put the cocaine back in.
Brawdo! It's got what plants crave.
I knew their sales were slipping but come on!
In my day, us kids had a term for way-cool stuff. We called it: 'That's Bitchin'... And I must say, that transport plane gives new meaning to the phrase: 'That's Bitchin...!!!'

It's not activity but rules of engagement that's important. At what point do they go "weapons free"? Things can go bad really fast if you have a hot headed captain and there is way too much testerone involved here.
Actually its not tempo of missions at all; It is technological breakthroughs that are game changing:

Washington’s War on Russia“In order to survive and preserve its leading role on the international stage, the US desperately needs to plunge Eurasia into chaos, (and) to cut economic ties between Europe and Asia-Pacific Region … Russia is the only (country) within this potential zone of instability that is capable of resistance. It is the only state that is ready to confront the Americans. Undermining Russia’s political will for resistance… is a vitally important task for America.”
-Nikolai Starikov, Western Financial System Is Driving It to War, Russia Insider
“Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.”
-The Wolfowitz Doctrine, the original version of the Defense Planning Guidance, authored by Under Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, leaked to the New York Times on March 7, 1992
The United States does not want a war with Russia, it simply feels that it has no choice. If the State Department hadn’t initiated a coup in Ukraine to topple the elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, then the US could not have inserted itself between Russia and the EU, thus, disrupting vital trade routes which were strengthening nations on both continents. The economic integration of Asia and Europe–including plans for high-speed rail from China (“The New Silk Road”) to the EU–poses a clear and present danger for the US whose share of global GDP continues to shrink and whose significance in the world economy continues to decline.

Funny how the USA acts like the poor unsuspecting mother who's son is a serial killer. My ass... the USA is shiting bricks about the moves in the dollar and decoupling. Russia realizes that the USA is a patient from the Walking Dead who was bit an hour ago and not certain when they will turn, only knowing it is soon. Shit makes me sick to my stomach. In the end we will all lose. I suspect man was here 50,000 or more years ago and wiped each other out... sort of like the game chutes and ladders...

This is a war that Washington will lose, and it will turn deadly for TPTB. I would say that China is capable of "some" resistance as well. Together, they are unbeatable. Better wake up and smell the coffee they're brewing...
All China has to do is cut back on the quality of things like medical supplies, eating utencils, food preperation and serving dishes or plates or cups or water bottles, tooth brushes and paste, shaving material, or anything else we may put near, in or on our bodies or the bodies of what we eat.
We would be wondering around like idiots in no time. See what i mean?
I think they did it already. Just look around you...
the Vlad Team won't give a rat's ass about europe . once north america is a smolderin' heap of ra ash - and it won't take long - europe will go grovelin' east.
Actually you are correct, Russia would be able to live at peace with Europe except that the US wants to dominate the world. Until the US is defeated or exhausted the entire world is at risk.
The Hunt for Red Lobster was a great movie.
Cheesy cheddar biscuits
Gives me a stomach ache just thinking about them.
The daily dose of Zerohedges Russia stronk and under siege propaganda.
Slow day at State Dept peggie'sballs? You can troll better than that
Indeed it is - sorta like a shot of B12 with an Anadrol-50 chaser... You can feel the strength well up inside. Like, you want to grab a feminized-beaten, papoose wearing American metrosexual by his 12" neck sorta feeling. It's a beautiful thing.
State Dept troll or pentagon or other alphabet agencies... you really want war with Russia .. go for it . leave the rest of us the hell out. Policies created the last 20 years .. blew the benefit of the end of the Cold War to hell.. the USSA has been hell bent to ramp it up or become world hegeom since.. stuff it asshole. Some of us actually care about the country .. the government can go to hell . just do not take us with it.
These war hungrey Russia haters are a threat to the entire world. They think everything will just be wonderful if the evil 'over there' is distroyed. They can't see that the evil is in the US. I'm sick of them all.
They sold us a pack of lies during the previous Cold War and are trying to do it again, the sh*ts.
It's Cheney's fault

Instead of asking if it's saber rattling, ask if it's penis waving. He'll say "Of course it is. Sorry I misunderstood your previous question."
Hey, if Russian troops were on the Mexican border Obama would be getting upset, expecially if they were in the way of the Mexican invasion.
Or intercepted one of Holder's arms/drug shipments.
Just useless public displays. Having the subs out there is important but there is no direct nuke attack planned on Russia.
How many of Russia's allies (Russia has no true allies) has the west directly, or through proxy armies, destroyed? How many of the US allies has Russia destroyed? Russia is scared because the push in now very close to their borders due to always backing down and backing up. Just think what could have been if Russia shielded Iraq, Libya, Syria.
Same with Iran. Syria is close to falling and Iran knows they would be next. So now Iran gives some direct assistance. Too late I think.
Oh, did Russia not approve the Iranian sanctions? Did not Russia abstaine from voting against the sanctions against Libya, thus allowing the sanctions and no fly zone to be approved.
Yes, the West is now up to Russia's borders. Do you think they are going to surrender? They have repeatedly said they will use nuclear weapons if necessary to defeat any attempt on their homeland and that they will act to preempt any buildup to threaten them.
Is that what you 'exceptional and indispensable' lunatics in the West want, a nuclear war? The US military seems to want it, they are planning a first strike. There is no operating MAD doctrine like there was during the Cold War (version one) to restrain the mass murderers in the US.
We are sitting on the edge of a knife.
I would imagine the Russian's would have as much of their sub feet in operation as the could most of the time. What's the point of keeping them inactive. Now if they had said the number of subs in the fleet had increased by 50% that would be worth noting.
Let's hope that the "white chimp" and John boy Kerry with the rest of the Jewish mafia at the Treasury and Fed are paying close attention to the Admirals words, because the rest of America is too busy watching college "hoop"...
That reminds me!
They don't call it March madness for nothing!!!
see what that Latvia troll comes here brought on his coutrymen?
ignored our warnings....

Answer to subs .. for US .. P-3 Orion . or P-3C .. the best bang for the buck Lockheed ever did. As for the Russians .. they used to respect us .. not anymore.. given the chowder heads who have run policy the last 4 presidential reigns... .. assholes the lot of them. Most RUssians I knew can not believe what is going on . they do not want to think US policy is now in the hands of LUNATICS.. most of whom have never served in the military . US STATE DEPT .. is running policy .. even in the Pentagon .. pretty much the case since Clinton . Hillary managed to take over or inflict state dept. on special ops in Tampa with her 'shadwo warrior crap ..Tamp SOC pretty much Hillarys boys .. SOC and ISOC .. brag about their cozy relationship with outifts like Dyncorp to name one .. its a giant FUBAR .. as special ops and ISOC get trained for urban combat .. to fight .. here.... .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Mo6cHrEpU where the real defense spending is going .. what used to be the US millitary special ops becomes part of the private public partnership with the MIC .. http://www.ndia.org/meetings/4890/Pages/default.aspx
The USA is a joke now. Americans have been getting fu*ked over since the Civil War by the banskter familes in Europe.
Keep watching TV and Hollywood's shit like the rest of the dumb sheep.
And don't forget Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus
Submarines kick ass!
From studying history it is true that the Russias do not saber rattle, they suddenly attack. If only the idiots and lunatics in the US understood this they would not push NATO troops up near the Russian borders.
The Russians will lay low and let NATO stage near their borders. Sure, they will conplain a bit, but make almost no threats or bluster. When the Russians think we are staging for offensive operations they will suddenly attack.
The West is totally foolish and self-destructive, and don't remember what fighting a real war on thousands of miles of open space is like. This is what the Russians excel at. If a land war in eastern Europe starts I expect the Russians will roll NATO up to the German border. The wildcard is nuclear weapons.
(chuckling)
How droll!
Since 1981 it has been Defense Borrowing and recently we've seen Defense Printing.
Fortunately for the Russians, the chief article of faith of the MIC is the right of the defense contractors to produce and sell worthless weapon systems to the US military, the right of the Pentagon to insist on buying moar of these worthless weapons, and the power of Congress to require that the Pentagon buy moar, on those few occasions when the army's better judgement wants to try a weapon that works.
Spot on x100
Too few if any make this point.
My understanding is the Russian sub fleet is powered by baking soda.
Russia's counterpart to America's Hyman Rickover is a junior high school science teacher (the Jew who was previously assigned to development of the nuclear propulsion system is now breaking big rocks into small rocks in the gulag).
You will go down in history for
this
But congratulations for having an understanding of something besides potatoes.
Submarines.
All those years playing with your little sunken ducky paid off.
If Russian subs patrolling the oceans makes AmeriKa think twice about starting some fireworks, so much the better.
I don't have a problem with peace, unlike many of my US brethren.
I'm in love with the fifth submariner from the left in the bottom picture.
merkins are too busy watching march madness or the superbowl or world series etc.They're too busy altering their brain chemistry with industrial booze every weekend-this is a nation of women and fags and the white vanilla pussies who endorse and consent to there global masters in d.c. tel-aviv brussels london Merkins are gonna get what they deserve Good and Hard !
it must be concluded that the rise in ocean sea level is not due to global warming---
it is due to the water displacement of all those additional Russian submarines.
