The Russian attack submarine was evidently undetected. This is a bit unsettling and shows some flaws in the US anti-submarine defense. Putin has been showing his muscle, which makes it unclear why Obama, in an open microphone statement to Putin earlier this summer, said that he would be able to work more with him after the election.
The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow.
