X-Post - International Naval News thread. Something's up and the Russians are getting a little worked up. My acquaintance speaking on the Total issue raised oil price and asked me what was the news on the ground in MENA on ISIL surviving beyond 6 onths at this low oil prices. More than 6 months is ...

And the merry go round continues- Rossiya Gazetta now claims that DD never left port and her crew have been calling home from the ship. Truly smoke and mirrors for me. Can some guru's put up a hypothesis of what's going on? OT Alert: On a related topic was having a chat with a friend. Seems that the...

he shallow waters and islands of the baltic sea would be a peculiar place for a gigantic vessel like the typhoon class Russian forums are discussing these specific characteristics. And the new chatter seems that it could be a new small sub. Now the Dutch are also denying it could have been their su...

what the russians call Akula class, NATO calls the Typhoon class of which the donskoi is one- all are scrapped few yrs back and none are in operational service Singha, that was the first thing I had checked, but I remember having a chat in 2010 with a Russian forumer in Archangel sometime before th...

Seems to have been a false alarm and the incident involved a Dutch submarine.

RussianSource clarification

RIA Novosti

My takeaway is how the news spread. Russian dissident+ Ukranian website--> Picked up in Baltic media; Spreads to English language mediaalmost immediately.

Mukesh.Kumar

What's happening in Sweden will be good learning about submarine hunting and countermeasures. Baltic and Russian media and forums are abuzz with rumors whether actually the Russian flagship Akula (NATO:Typhoon )- Dmitri Donskoi (TK-208) actually sank off the Swedish coast. Estonian media link Daily...

Mods, this thread needs to be a sticky. Can it be shifted to Strategic Forum where the general public can see it? The thread can go a long way in demystifying the fact that it was Gandhi and INC alone that got India Independence.

Mukesh.Kumar

A funny anecdote Don't know where else to put this but in this thread. Last weekend one of my team members was visiting an up-country town on the UAE-Saudi border. Stopping for lunch at a local 'coffee shop', he was suddenly approached by a 26-27 year old Afghan waiter, who asked him if he was Indi...

Is there anybody here with an year on the ground in UAE? I keep hearing rumours in local fora that something big is afoot. Sheikh Nathan is very sick/ indisposed and the other Emirates are jostling to have a new non Abu Dhabi President.

If true it will be quite a change.

@Gus- Don't worry it's not our traditional pie chart but one of those fancy McKinsey type infographics where area covered is measure of ratio and not the angle.
