Yes, absolutely - I was applying a large shovelful of salt too. I think the interesting element of this is the amount of sentiment being displayed on social media inside Russia. Reddit seems to be freely accessible still.

It's getting more like the plot of an Austin Powers movie isn't it.

Even if this thing exists outside of a drawing board I'm given to believe that the UK's underwater detection (I don't know the proper terms) are pretty damn good, I suspect you know a lot lot more than me about that NE.

If by that you mean the capabilities of our subsurface assets, all I can say to that is that we have nowhere near enough.

This too needs a grain or two of salt, given that it's a Ukrainian source so not impartial. But interesting nonetheless and the bits about sabotage do make sense:

I don't know mate. I was chewing over this earlier and he's playing a dangerous game pissing off the Israelis... do the Russians not have the same respect for them that we do. On the other hand, Русские отлично играют в шахматы.... Кто знает?

I'm sure it's not deliberate to piss off Israel, but it's a bit of an unfortunate wrinkle in their whole " Ukrainians are Nazis" schtick that Zelensky is Jewish...

Apparently Ukraine sought to buy the Pegasus spyware that was developed in Israel some time ago but was refused. If the Israelis are really annoyed with Russia, there's an obvious way to show it.

That would be some irony.
