NATO have responded by ramping up their own anti-submarine-warfare tactics.
Admiral James Foggo, the head of US Naval Forces in Europe and Africa, has said: "The Kalibr class cruise missile, for example, has been launched from coastal-defense systems, long-range aircraft, and submarines off the coast of Syria.

On this week's military drills, a Russian defence ministry spokesperson said: "By order of President Putin, supreme commander of the Russian Armed Forces, strategic nuclear forces exercises have been conducted.
"All tasks of the exercise were accomplished.
"All designated targets at the Kura Chizha, Pemboy and Terekta testing ranges were destroyed."
