Russian submarines have increased combat patrols to the level last seen during the Cold War, the navy chief said today.

Admiral Vladimir Korolyov said Russian submarine crews spent more than 3,000 days on patrol last year, matching the Soviet-era operational tempo.

Elsewhere today, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top spokesman said the relationship between the U.S. and Russia may be more antagonistic now than it was during the decades-long Cold War.

Asked by ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ host George Stephanopoulos if the U.S. and Russia were in a ‘new Cold War,’ Dmitry Peskov said the current situation may be worse, pinning the blaming on the U.S.

He said: ‘New Cold War? Well, maybe even worse. Maybe even worse taking into account actions of the present presidential administration in Washington.’
