Not long ago the Russians were sending "Bears" close to the United kingdom and had to be escorted, number of times has to be said. Also they flew to Venezuela not long ago.
A Russian warship entered Portsmouth Harbour in England last month I think, but it was there for a ceromony. And in 2008 I think a Chinese warship came too

In 2008 two TU-160 (White Swans), name of Aleksandr Molodchiy and Vladimir Senko flew to Caracas for a goodwill and training mission. As for Bears, well, they never went over UK airspace, though UK yellow press had hysterics and made some sort of claim about going to be bombed, or something.....

It is rather typical of the U.S. attitude that the U.S. feels it is entitled to go where it likes and do what it likes, but if anyone tries to do the same to them then it's a Provocation and intimidation.

Still, i expect the Northern Fleet will be quite pleased that it needs just one of their submarines to Intimidate the great American Eagle.

And they like to show pictures of obsolete vessels rusting, yet fail to show photos of new Borei class SSBN or Schuka-B (Akula)

Yuri Dolgorukiy new Borei class SSBN

Don't know what your try to say there. My point is our navy is at least 5 times the size of russia. One little sub off our coast isn't going to phase us.

It's the motion in the ocean that counts. Besides, Chuck Norris AND Jack Bauer are swimming out to the sub right now. Chuck has on boots and Jack has a swiss army knife. Game over man.

Why do you assume that they're trying to phase uncle Sam? This is quite normal practice, everyone does it and as long as they don't intrude into anyone territorial waters without permission there's no need for anyone to get phased.

I am not thinking that. other people in the post were, I was simply making a comment on it.

USA may have more ships, but Russia does not have any Pee-Wee Herman. I know which situation is more preferable
