Bill Gertz, Washington Free Beacon: Russian Intel Ship Spying on US Missile Submarines
AGI Viktor Leonov recently spotted in Cuba.
A Russian intelligence-gathering ship is again plying the waters off the southern United States in operations aimed at spying on U.S. ballistic missile submarines based in the area, defense officials said.
The intelligence collection ship, Viktor Leonov, has been closely watched by U.S. Navy ships and aircraft for the past several days near Jacksonville, Fla., close to the Naval Submarine Base at Kings Bay, Ga. The ship also conducted operations there in April.
WNU Editor: I remember a time when the Soviets had a ship positioned permanently in these waters .... and now there is only one that shows up once in a while. I am underwhelmed.
