My wife and I don't have time to view TV so we do not even have such a machine. This was so the first time I noticed the matter.
The Dutch navy was very proud of its submarines but until 2014 it was assumed that these boats were to be the lasts. The yard where all Dutch submarines were built, and that also invested heavily in pressure vessels for nuclear power plants of which it produced none, has been closed after a lot of financial shenanigans. The Walruses are a quarter of a century old but were modernized less than ten years ago.
The Russian reaction is of course a demonstration of their confidence that they can find and if need be destroy these boats. I would expect the most modern nuclear submarine to be no more difficult to find than a modernized Walrus.

An article in my Dutch newspaper today, a very large article for the little information it contains, says that for many years Walruses were able to avoid detection so perhaps the Russians developed new technology which is very disturbing as the next Dutch submarine will not enter service before 2027.
It is likely that China and Russia will help each other in this area in view of their common interests.
