Sumbarine hunters have been in Keflavin Iceland for a few weeks now.
Icelandic coast gurad stated that three P-3 Orions would be here for exersice and survilance missions.
The search area is the tunnel between Iceland and greenland, and there is usually one aircraft in the air,
There have been some rotation of aircraft in the mission, for example Two Canadian "Auroras" came and where here for some days, P-8 was here and some navy C130's
Sidenote:
Few weeks ago Russias a brand new submarine was launched,
