We use Predators for that now. I guarantee that if one is in the eastern US, it is watching that boat very closely. Groton is home port to swarmers (hunter/killers) not boomers (ICBM/Cruise Missile subs). Which is odd. If I was worried about fallout about the election diddling, I’d have a boat down in southernmost Georgia, where we’ve got our boomers homeported.
It’s too early for Russian jets to be flying supersonic at low altitude over Washington DC. Trump & Co. need to be give more time for their demolition activities. For now letting the world know that a Russian spy boat is operating with impunity is sufficient for Putin’s plans.
