On 21 February, the Russian media announced that a submarine hunting manoeuvre would take place in the eastern Mediterranean from 15 to 25 February 2022.

IMX22 (International Maritime Exercise, bi-annual, since 2012), probably the most extensive exercise ever organised by US Central Command and its 5th Fleet in the Middle East region, provided the opportunity for this. A good dozen navies participated with military units, including Gulf neighbours that were not previously on Israel's primary partner list. Observers and co-operation partners were...
