The Israelis have subs too.
I was just suggesting that tactical responses to Russian aggression be handled at the lowest level possible weapons systems-wise.
Plausible deniability is a wonderful thing at times like this.
We’ve seen what the Russians are up to and their MO and now it’s time to help our allies mould their armed forces to handle defense against that type of escapade.
I don’t think anyone knows yet how much damage the Georgians were able to inflict on the invaders but the situation would have been a lot different if they stopped them in their tracks (heheheheheh) even for two weeks to give more time for a western response.
