    If something happens it will just monitor the status as I thought those didn’t even have weapons.

    Poseidon would be able to say: “right before the Israeli grain ship was struck, exploded and sunk, we tracked an alpha class sub that entered from X direction a Y speed. We saw it discharge 2 torpedoes and seconds later the grain ship exploded. We then tracked the sub as it turned back to Sevastopol. Here you can see in the pictures as it surfaced before entering the harbor.”

    Russia would have attacked a civilian transport of Israel live on camera. Countries take action with things like that.

      Israel isn’t big on turning the other cheek. They would absolutely retaliate for the destruction of that grain hauler.

      I think my expectations are just super low on a real response. Moscow is pretty notorious for doing dumb shit and then waiting to see what happens. I really struggle to envision a NATO asset firing on a Russian vessel…no matter how egregious the Russian activity.
