Russian sub successfully targets ISIS munitions and oil infrastructure
"WASHINGTON — Russian media reports that a Russian diesel-electric submarine operating submerged in the Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday launched Kalibr cruise missiles at targets in Syria.
Agence France-Presse, citing Russian news agencies, reported that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday the military had launched strikes in Syria for the first time from a submarine stationed in the Mediterranean.
"We used Kalibr cruise missiles from the Rostov-on-Don submarine from the Mediterranean Sea," Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin, Russian news agencies reported.
The missiles "targeted two major terrorist positions in the territory of Raqqa," Russia Today quoted Shoigu as telling Putin. "We can say with absolute confidence that significant damage has been inflicted upon ammunition warehouses and a mine production plant, as well as the oil infrastructure.""

That's what I'm talk'n bout. Hit em hard and often right in the nose.
Still I can't support any action using a carbon spewing diesel sub. That would be sacrificing our top priority for one down the line. Putin hates mother Gaia.
That's just Putin saverratleling over not getting Times Man of the Year honors.
He's the best President we've got.

Unless that's German or something, I assume you meant saber rattling.
Sabre
I know this because one of Dad's cars was a 59 Chevy LeSabre and I'm all, "what's that?" And he said, a sword, or, the army. That car had fins, Daddyo.
Drop the big one, Vlad!
Well, it lacked a little of the ol' Tomahawk missile down the ventilator shaft precision. But still, how did you say "shock and awe" in Russian?
How did the sub drop leaflets prior to the attack?
EXACTLY bags. How rude.
Ricpic, what fun would that be? Putin wants to savor the process.
