Many years ago, Soviet submarines would loiter in the western Atlantic, providing lots of training opportunities for our airborne and subsurface assets. Since the USSR broke up, I would imagine such opportunities have been few and far between.

None of these Russian vessels would have a chance to launch an actual attack—or at least no more than one missile— before becoming history. They know it, and we know it. This is how the game used to be played.
