Would that have ruined the American narrative and "surprise"?
Zero additional information.

They add that the US Military is super-coy about following the vessels's movements; which is appropriate, as their movements are Secret or above Naval intelligence.

Did they have a fire sale on Russian analysts? Could you get someone who knows what they're talking about next time CNN? Please? For the love of pete... that's complete BS.

"heading north roughly 100 miles off coast of Myrtle Beach after cruising by Charleston, SC."
Well, that's interesting.

It is absurd to suggest it's presence is a sign of "weakness".
The USAF & NATO perform the same missions near Russia for the same reason; physics. Not all INT can be collected from space.

So, an unlisted undersea cable coming from Virginia? Yup

FYI guys, it's heading North, and you missed the scoop yesterday of it being ~30mi from the VA shore near Norfolk. Sorry.

Yes, with extremely little proof, I'm making a proper Gypsy-Fortune-teller-crystal-ball-quality assessment that Viktor Leonov is outside New London. #spyship
By now it could be anywhere up the Eastern seaboard.
"International waters is defined as being great than 12 miles off the coast, according to the official."
You mean that in the same way that Pi is 3.14-something-something, according to a mathematician?
It's a weird way to state a fact.
wate.com/news/national-…
~"International waters, a term defined by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), lie beyond 12 nautical miles from shore."
...because I don't give a damn what the official said it was, it's a black and white fact.
There's a pretty good chance that's where The Russia|n Navy AGI Viktor Leonov "spy ship" is now.
H/T @MIL_Radar!

Russian "Spy Ship" Viktor Leonov spotted in Trinidad and Tobago, again!

They didn't announce it last year either, leaving some people to think the Spy Ship stayed all year. It didn't.
No US MSM has even mentioned it yet.
The ship arrived last week, and the story broke Saturday.
Can't the US press pick this story up without the Pentagon's approval?
I don't know, but the businesses in Port of Spain should be happy with the money they dropped off, maybe they'll be back again!
Russian Navy Viktor Leonov hasn't been seen leaving Feb 25 🤔

The pattern, altitude, and heuristics look VERY similar to last year.

1. How long the the Russians will be there? (2mo. total, so end of March)
2. That Viktor Leonov restocked & returned?
3. Which USN ship is shadowing it?
4. Why the USN didn't announce it earlier?
5. Will the USN announce when they leave?
