"The UK's P-8 Poseidon aircraft work continuously on operations, protecting national interests and keeping the UK and our allies safe. For security reasons, we will not comment on operational details."
"This is NATO showing they are in control. Either they have already found the submarine, or submarines, and they are holding it - or they haven't got it yet and need to get hold of it."
"It looks like they have found a Russian submarine and they are hammering it. It is telling Russia: 'We see you'."
Since Sunday, NATO warplanes have been scouring the Norwegian Sea, with Poseidon submarine hunters conducting at least 27 sorties. Norway's Air Force launched at least three sorties from Evenes Air Base near Narvik, and the RAF flew eight P-8A Poseidon missions from RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the operation is not an exercise and noted the P-8 fleet works continuously to protect national interests. A defence source described the mission as a "highly unusual surge." Former Royal Navy commanders suggested NATO either located Russian submarine(s) or is intensifying search and tracking efforts.
