Swedish military “hunting submarine” operation

The officials denied that they were “hunting submarine”, calling a mobilization.  One of biggest since Cold War, an “intelligence operation”. The Russian’s denied that any of its submarines involved.

“There have been no irregular situations and, even less so, accidents involving Russian naval vessels,” said by the Russian defense ministry in statement.

But Svenska Dagbladet  a Swedish daily news reported a damaged Russian submarine was at the centre of the mystery. The said report said that the Swedish military intelligence intercepted a radio signals between the area off coast of the Stockholm and Russian enclave of the Kaliningrad.  Home to much of Russia’s Baltic Sea naval fleet.

“It was transmitted on a special frequency, used by Russia in emergency situations,” the newspaper wrote, citing Swedish military sources involved in the search. Sweden’s armed forces remained tight-lipped, but did say its focus was on “underwater activities”. “ Swedish Armed Forces are not in position to deny or even verify the media news or the speculations that has recently been published about missing submarine,” Erik Lagersten said.
