The Pentagon also said it had not received any requests for assistance. The Russian Defense Ministry clarifies that the submarine “Omsk” participated in the exercise and did not violate international navigation rules for a moment.
The task of the submarine was together with the missile cruiser “Varyag” to hit a naval target in the Bering Sea as part of the exercise “Ocean Shield 2020”, the military department said in Moscow.
New article. The Russian Navy submarine off Alaska is likely the same one that fired a cruise missile. It may have surfaced due to an emergency.
And it’s not the only unusual Russian submarine move that has caught the attention of analysts.
