A British submarine could not take part in military action against Syria, as they were forced to manoeuvre in the confrontation with the Russian submarine, according to the Times citing sources.
print Edition reports that British Astute class submarine armed with cruise missiles, "played a cat-and-mouse" in the Mediterranean sea with one or maybe 2 of the Russian submarines that Western experts call the "Black hole" for noise reduction.
the journal emphasizes that the British submarine had to sail to and from 2 Russian frigates and anti-submarine aircraft. Because of this, the submarine could not close to sufficient distance to strike the Syrian Arab Republic, despite the fact that this submarine a few days tried to defend detection. According to the publication, "Black holes" were released from the Syrian Tartus submarines Kilo-class by NATO classification. The two diesel generators and electric drive allow each of them to swim with great speed. These submarines are armed with torpedoes, cruise missiles and anti-submarine missiles.
The US, Britain and France on the first day of the weekend launched rocket attacks on Syrian government facilities, which, in their vision, are used for the production of weapons of mass destruction. The coalition fired more than 100 rockets, most of which were intercepted by Syrian air defense. Russian forces were not involved, but kept track of all the triggers.
