Russian ships spy on a new Israeli submarine INS DRAKON: What do Russians want

Western observers suggested that it was a two Russian spy ship-"Alexander Sibiryakov" and "Vasily Tatishchev", who are trying to collect data on the work of Israeli submarine systems. Russian reconnaissance ships "Alexander Sibiryakov" and "Vasily Tatishchev" try to gather information about the latest Israeli submarine INS DRAKON, which is underway after construction in Germany. This was reported on June 24 by Naval News.

According to the newspaper, the Submarine INS DRAKON, built in the German city of Kiel, is an important stage of preparation for the introduction. The authors of the publication point out that running trials are "incredibly delicate for new submarines", since it is during this period that submarines are "undesirable" by the naval forces of other countries. "Naval forces (other countries) may want to gather a speaker library of how a new submarine sounds.

Or trace the work of new weapons or systems. Collect this data during running tests is usually easier than waiting for the boat to be armed", - the observers explained. In this case, it is about Russian spy ships "Alexander Siberakov" and "Vasily Tatishchev", which monitor the tests of INS DRAKON in the area of ​​the German port city of Kiel.

These ships, with the help of special hydroacoustic and intelligence systems, probably collect data on the acoustic characteristics of the submarine and the operation of its systems. The detailed tactical and technical characteristics of INS DRAKON remain wrapped in secret. A little is known about the new submarine, but today it is the most expensive military weapon in the arsenal of the tile, with an estimated cost of 550 million euros.

The submarine is probably equipped with a super -modern missile complex and can carry nuclear warheads, which makes it a particularly important and sensitive purpose for intelligence. In this case, Germany strictly controls access to the submarine, preventing the vessels from approaching it during the test. There was no official statement about the start of the running tests, but recently the submarine was noticed in fuel filling, which may indicate his willingness to go out into the sea.
