The Russian submarine Belgrad (also named Belgorod, depending on which language you prefer) left port ten days ago on 4 October, loaded with between 6 and 10 Poseidon nuclear missiles. One is a 'dud', and NATO expects Russia to have that one fired soon as a warning to the West.
An intelligence operative notified NATO headquarters, that then notified its members in a classified report. But since nobody can keep their snouts closed anymore these days, someone at NATO leaked the report, and the Italiano newspaper La Republica gotten hold of it. 😁
NATO is busy tracking the submarine, as is standard operational procedure for all nuclear subs. At present the sub is hanging balls under the Arctic ice. However, such subs can 'disappear' very easily, making it virtually impossible to track it other than by using indirect means, like intercepting intel at the Russian navy command.
