^^^ Wot Asturias said ^^^
One of the (six) Black Sea Fleet Kilos will have surfaced within range, given them the bird and disappeared back into its black hole before any distant support could arrive. Even if no threats were issued and no shots were fired, it would have the potential to be publicly embarrassing and enormously demoralising.
CSG assets would likely be distracted by or pre-occupied with the Kilo(s) from Tartus. Does Blackadder have a cunning plan ?
