Russian attack submarines have been the mainstream media’s reason of concern since the Project 636 ‘Varshavyanka’ (NATO reporting name: Kilo) sub ‘Rostov-on-Don’ successfully launched four Kalibr missiles cruise missiles on ISIS targets in Syria in December 2015.
Last weekend, the Western press created a new hysteria amid reports that 3 Russian attack subs allegedly jointed the Russian naval task force heading to Syria’s shores: 2 Project 971 ‘Shchuka’ (NATO reporting name: Akula) and 1 Project 636 ‘Varshavyanka’ submarine.
According to the issued reports, the big bad subs will strike peaceful oppositioneers in Aleppo city with cruise missiles.
