Yea captain of UK vessel really messed that one up. Tow is dragged behind ship by a good distance so why he wanted to get above the sub is beyond me. He should have just sent a active ping and enjoyed a cup of tea. Russians would have known they were pegged and could try to improve their craft another day.

Won't be the first time a Russian sub hit a NATO ship. In 1975, a Russian sub collided with USS James Madison at Holy Loch. The Russian sub was supposed to wait outside British waters and trail the Madison in open water. The Russian sub commander decided to go up the clyde and was 300 yards from the US sub base. The Madison started to move and hit the Russian sub. Both subs surfaced, and the Russian sub decided it was time they were not there as they were in British waters and submerged and legged it before the RN could react.

A few decades ago HMS conqueror stole the towed-array off the back of a Soviet sub using a nose mounted set of grabbers and cutters (what an audacious mission!) - the Soviets were thought to have the best towed-array in the world and the Brits apparently learned a lot of valuable secrets from the stolen kit. Today the towed-array developed for the Royal Navy by Thales is considered to be the best (it's not for export sale) - I suspect the Russians wanted a chunk for themselves and got it - Great Britain 1 - Russia 1.
