Title: Sweden Hunts 'Foreign' Submarine Off Stockholm
Post by: Atilla60 on October 17, 2014, 03:30:18 PM
QuoteIt comes after recent reports in Swedish media of an increase in Russian air force manoeuvres in the Baltic Sea, including a close encounter in early October between a Swedish spy plane and a Russian fighter jet.

It seems to me that there's a Russian minority in Sweden in need for Putin's "protection"

Indeed.
When I saw it in the news, I immediately thought of the 1981 incident where a Whisky class ran aground in the fjords just outside the Karlskrona naval base.
