Media: Russian vessel "Yantar" makes American intelligence agencies nervous

The research vessel of the Russian Navy's Yantar, which the Americans have been following for more than 2 months, has reached the Caribbean islands, according to an article on the Washington Free Beacon website.

"The ship arrived in the capital of the Caribbean island of Curaçao - the port of Willemstad, and before that the ship’s route ran through international waters to the southeast of the United States," the article quotes. RIA News.

“The vessel is carrying out work on collecting data on submarines that are located at the US Navy’s nuclear submarine base in the US Kings Bay, Georgia. The ship is equipped with tackles for cutting cables and two deep-sea underwater vehicles, ”the author writes, citing a source in the American special services.

Recently, the Wyoming submarine headed for Scotland from the US base, which the Strategic Command openly announced. “Such actions are usually kept secret, but this time the US military may have done so because of the tense relations between Russia and the West,” the author believes.

For the same reasons, he explains the appearance of the Russian vessel at the American borders. “The Russians are most likely conducting cartographic reconnaissance of this part of the ocean in order to prepare for possible collisions with US submarines,” the Washington Free Beacon concludes.

Of course we are reconnaissance. The next time, the pleasure yacht will be the cause of the commotion.

[marlin1203]

Yes, let them "pull ... oop the nails!" in vain do they receive a monetary allowance

[udincev]

It’s just unusual for them that something is not American off the coast of America in the distance ... (?). It seems like grazing in the Black Sea or at the borders of Russia is more familiar, as it should.
Nothing. Get used to it!

[varov14]

In the break them "mother Kuzka" so that the future meeting would be warmer.

Abramovich, or what?

PS I liked the idea myself ... Poke such yachts with equipment ...

[proletarian]

Why all kinds of equipment? There is enough space to accommodate something "more serious", unless of course already installed?

[vkl-47]

Pen.dos themselves have decided everything for everyone. They always cripple their people. Paranoics. As something swims near their borders so panic and they unfold at other people's bases is normal

[vodolaz]

That's right, let them get nervous, otherwise they will relax something. Yes, and the Chinese made them think deeply with missiles that what for the aircraft carrier will demolish.

[Uncle VasyaSayapin]

"The ship is equipped with gear for cutting cables and two deep-sea underwater vehicles", "- the cable must be thrown into the Crimea. It's a pity for your money.

[NC1982]

Are you paranoid or are you really up to something? Although, judging by the title of the publication, one can hardly trust Free Bacon Washington :)

[Vladimir Pozlnyakov]

Throw them misinformation - "cartographic study of the ocean floor for laying deep atomic charges with the aim of causing a giant tsunami and the explosion of the Yoluston volcano"!

[Pal2004]

So very good. good ship .... times nervous

[vkl-47]

They are nervous about what's near their borders. There is at least a rowing boat

Thank you for photos. The ship is handsome ..

Judging by the plate on the starboard side of Amber, behind it stands a noble FAR.

This is a deep-sea hangar.

The main caliber of the OIC is two deep-sea inhabited vehicles of project 16810 Rus and project 16811 Consul, which are capable of descending to a depth of 6000 meters.

[Corsair0304]

Yes, it's time. To replenish the database of submarine submarines, to conduct cartographic work for our submariners is a sacred matter.
What did the Americans say about some cables that block the way for our submarines? Amber at your service, drank, cut, as they say, so that it was not boring))

[Boatsman_Palych]

Submarine cables of the SOSUS system - sonar monitoring of the North Atlantic and communication cables are of interest to such ships in the first place. The USSR even built unarmed nuclear submarines for the same oelas.

[rotmistr60]

"Such actions are usually kept secret, but this time the US military may have done so because of tensions between Russia and the West."

Although "exceptional", but here they insured themselves. Still, it is one thing to verbally grind Russia into powder, and another thing is suddenly what happens, which can lead to a serious conflict.

"Dear American friends, fluff up your locators and listen to the program" Pioneer Dawn ".... (x / f 72 meters)

For the scarecrow!

[Alekseev-Orsk]

Let them get nervous, maybe sober from their exclusivity))))

[as150505]

Ssykuny! From one word, Russian is already put in his pants.
I remember the joke - When a Russian shouts in the airport of New York - "Alla, I'm in the bar!" Shit 700 Americans, including 170 police officers.

[Stirbjorn]

It's a stunned joke - the Muslims in our country blew up more with such shouts, and unlike the New York airport, we had a real terrorist attack in Domodedovo in 2011. I am sure that many of them really crap there. Lavrov's cough, followed by the text, is very appropriate with such "witticisms".

=== The ship is equipped with gears for cutting cables and two deep-sea underwater vehicles, ”the author writes, citing a source in American intelligence agencies. ===

This is the source, of course!
Firstly, he cannot even know what such a ship is armed with.
And secondly, the data from the cables is now being removed by a little ah-a-ah-little overhead gadgets (you won’t even notice it on the cable!).
Thirdly, judging by the number and diversity of antenna systems, it looks more like a ship of electronic intelligence. There used to be a fixed base in Cuba, now mobile on this ship

[sl22277]

And in the Black Sea, US ships shy away, Russia is not nervous? Intelligence always annoys the enemy, even simply by its presence and presence at the necessary point. Explore the Bermuda Triangle in order to actively fight pirates of the Caribbean .....

[roskot]

We are on the alert, we are watching you.

[Abbra]

What is the noise about, gentlemen? Intelligence is a noble cause ...

[gelezo47]

Mattress toppers need to constantly tickle the nerves! ...

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Maybe we are looking for amber .... What can’t ?

[Maksus]

And is there at least something of what our army and navy has been doing in the last couple of years that DOESN'T MAKE Americans and NATO nervous? It will soon come to the point that the unplanned dismissal of Junior Sergeant Ibragimov will make them nervous and swallow validol.

[B.T.V.]

"Ural" now would have found a job too, but it was so ineptly ruined!

[gladysheff2010]

And then the mattress covers screwed up, as with the economy of Russia torn to shreds! "Yantar" - seven feet under the keel, and the crew - fruitful work for the good of the Motherland!

“The Russians will probably conduct cartographic reconnaissance of this part of the ocean in order to prepare for possible clashes with US submarines,” concludes the Washington Free Beacon.

No. What the bottom is being explored for will not collide with anyone. IT will just lie at the bottom, doze off, and wait in the wings. And let all r ... but floats by and much higher. The hour will come. IT wakes up. And the living will envy the dead.

Even if this is so, then from that, all the intelligence services of the world do something like that, and if it makes you nervous, go and shoot yourself.

[North]

The ship is equipped with gear for cutting cables - that’s it will come up and while the Americans sleep their entire fleet overnight in scrap metal.

[sinukvl]

Nothing, let them get used to it!

[Masya masya]

Wow, the research ship, and how much fear caught up! Already more than two months lug him!

[Stirbjorn]

Research, but part of the Navy includes

[Engineer]

Modestly somehow write. I thought they would write that the ship was laying nuclear charges in the event of an armed collision, so that underwater explosions would cause devastating tsunamis as Sakharov suggested.

It scouts out where to lay them, and the rest is a matter of technology - it threw off a couple of containers and order from a bulk carrier

[Anchonsha]

Yankees, your boorish careless life ended with the presence of your ships in all parts of the world. Well, the fact that our special courts are in full view of your shores, get used to it. Now also Chinese vessels will visit more often in these parts

Washington Free Beacon is just a website.
No one has ever been afraid of us, stop flogging nonsense and escalate hatred!
Often I am "zabugrom" and in the sea too. Nobody needs us, about us (RF) will not even tell on the news once again.
NAVI ships will never say too many words, on the contrary they are calling on guests.
Infa 100% poison us!

[Michael67]

Chic scout! Americosia - tremble! Bury the cables deeper!

[1goose3]

We are silent. They will come up with everything themselves. Themselves and obos ... messed up.

[Mainbeam]

The Russians will probably conduct cartographic reconnaissance of this part of the ocean in order to prepare for possible clashes with US submarines.

Yesterday we talked about steps to counter the renewal of American nuclear weapons in Germany.
There were many proposals for the deployment of Iskander and Tu-160 in Cuba, and submarines in California.
Today we see preparatory work from the Russian Federation.

This makes me happy.

[volgroo]

Likely under Amber our submarine covers.

[Michael - 235]

These Americans are strange. Almost without any problems being with their warships (even with nuclear weapons on board) and NIS in the Black Sea, they perceive all this as a peaceful action, and the appearance of a research vessel in the ocean waters is suddenly of such considerable concern.

[4ekist]

Yes, let the boys swim there, is it a pity or something?

[KRIG55]

Let them get used to it. And it really painfully relaxed from its exclusivity.

[fleet]

HOORAY! Ours in the city, in the sea and under water!
