I've heard a few things about Vladimir Putin signing off on some things that would
allow Russia to sell some of their Kilo class submarines to the US who would then
sell them to Taiwan.
The Chinese won't be happy about that.
The Kilo class is a diesel boat. Very quiet on batteries but makes a
racket when they fire up the diesel to recharge. Not sure how much of a
threat they would be offensively but certainly they're a good defensive
tool.
I'm sure there would be some activity on HF regarding the carriers, have to keep an
eye on the WUN postings.
Not necessarily, since they use encrypted satellite communications
(voice and burst-data) pretty heavily these days. Worth listening,
though.
