The vessels are operated by a shadowy branch of the Russian military that answers directly to Putin - with a mission to deliver a catastrophic blow to the West.

The subs are carried underneath beneath an enormous "mothership" undersea vessel and are built to lurk at the bottom of the ocean - entering the Atlantic by sailing down from the Arctic.
They then use robotic arms to tamper with or even cut key cables that help keep the world's economy moving with potentially devastating consequences.
