Great find! Thanks for this. But after reading I wonder how many of these subs can be out there crossing waters of the USA while the whole coast on both sides are monitored full time on irregularities by the US military?
- 01100011 6y agoIt's a big coast and the monitoring systems may be old and not suitable for detecting mini-subs. Much of the defense of the US was conceived for a completely different type of threat. We expected Soviet nuclear subs, not small battery powered craft that may not even be manned. I don't suppose it will be long, if it hasn't happened already, before unmanned drones will be delivering most of the illicit cross-border shipments. You could cheaply build a fleet of them and overwhelm most coastal defenses.
