China's submarines are getting quieter and deadlier in the seas closest to home, analysts warn - Business Insider

Isla Mujeres offered gorgeous food, great views, and fewer crowds than Cancún. I love Cancún's balmy, multi-blue-toned water, but I'm less fond of the crowds, nightlife, and traffic. These days, when I travel, I want as much peace and nature as possible, from calming ocean waves to the squeaky chatter of local birds. I've been to Cancún countless times, but recently visited the nearby Isla Mujeres for the first time — and found it to be the quiet, tropical escape that I needed. This island is just a 30-minute boat ride from Cancún, but it feels worlds away. It's also much smaller — the entire island of Isla Mujeres is 5 miles long, less than half of Cancún's Hotel Zone alone. The island is ideal for those who, like me, want to avoid the crowds and loud music of Cancún and Tulum. The island is just a quick ferry ride from Cancún

Russia has expanded its use of anti-drone netting at a major naval hub on the Pacific Ocean. Russia has expanded its use of anti-drone nets to protect submarines at a major naval base on the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from Ukraine and the country's arsenal of attack drones, according to new satellite imagery analyzed by Business Insider. The new images, collected on Tuesday by the US spatial intelligence firm Vantor, show more than half a dozen submarines covered by anti-drone netting at the Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. Imagery from May shows only two submarines covered with netting at the base, which serves as the central hub for the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet and hosts nuclear-powered ballistic-missile and attack submarines.
