Roland- in answer to your question about bears.. no I
don't think anyone does care about them either.. they play the game, we play the game.
why would we care if a nuclear armed sub is 10 km off our shores? what's it going to do... it's not going to for them, and of it is them lions spent on MPA will have solved nothing because they could still fire ICBM from home, what another 10 minutes flying time..

I'm sure Ivan (and maybe others) would be delighted to have compromised or even embarrassed the RN's record for undetected Continuous At-Sea Deterrence.

Thats ten minutes you have to launch every thing you have, or get into motion the ability to get back at them.
I would hazard a guess, that getting in a first knockout punch is the name of the game.
So bad guys MO is, to develop the ability to limit your responce. The good guys, thats us, is to make sure they don't get that ability, or at least make the response we do give not worth the effort to them.

Ignoring the press hyberbole, if it's anywhere outside our 'territorial' waters but still considerably closer than any ICBM launch site, the knock-out punch can still be delivered, not having any MPA just means that our ability to prosecute the aggressor is considerably diminished.
Highly unlikely scenario in any case, assuming it is a russian sub, it's just some more willy waving from uncle putin.
RP, we respond to the bears because we can - simples. Also good practice for other scenario's, it's unlikely that IS will hijack a nuclear sub.

It would appear they have found a modern Russian sub wreck lying on the bottom just off Sweden.
