Military expert explained how Marshal Shaposhnikov stopped an American submarine

Dmitry Litovkin, editor-in-chief of Independent Military Review, told the Zvezda TV channel that the Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate prevented a US Navy Virginia-class nuclear submarine from violating the state border near the Kuril Islands, acting like a sentry on duty.

“This is the same if you were on guard and you see the intruder. The first “shot in the air” is, in this case, the transmission of information to the submarine via communication that it has violated the territorial waters of the Russian Federation and is in a dangerous position,” Litovkin said.

Further, he explained, the sailors demonstrated to the submarine that they were not only aware of its presence, but also able to determine the exact location of the vessel. For this, special bombing installations are usually used.

“(They) launch grenades that show the submariners that they have been overlaid, in fact, with red flags and, if they do not make any decisions, the next step is the direct defeat of this object,” the editor of the publication noted.

Earlier it became known that the US Navy submarine was discovered in the territorial waters of Russia by Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft and one of the submarines of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet).

The incident occurred in the area of ​​the Kuril Island Urup on the morning of February 12. At the same time, the ship initially ignored the warnings of the Russian military in Russian and English. After the use of "appropriate means", the submarine used a self-propelled simulator to split the target on the means of radar and acoustic control and left Russian territorial waters as quickly as possible. Because of the incident, the Ministry of Defense called the American military attache. He was given a note to prevent such actions.
