The Typhoon Submarine That NATO Couldn't Track Underwater

NATO Couldn't Understand How Red October Vanished From Sonar

In October 1981, as the Cold War intensified, Lieutenant Commander Thomas Bradley closely watched acoustic data at the Sosis Monitoring Station in Keflavik, Iceland. This video explores the critical role of maritime surveillance and naval warfare during this tense period. It highlights the constant threat of submarine warfare and the strategic importance of the GIUK gap, shaping military history and geopolitics for decades.
