Transmissions in Russian from what appears to be a Russian (mini) submarine in distress was detected last Thursday, and signal analysis showed the location to right in the middle of the archipelago of Stockholm (Stockholms skärgård), well within the Swedish territorial waters (Kanholmsfjärden)
The radio channels used are those used by the Russian Navy for emergencies.
Visual detection occured last Friday, after which the Swedish Navy started a search operation, which
Is beeing stepped up.
The transmission was resumed later, this time encrypted and a series of messages were exchanged
with a radio station in Kaliningrad, a major base for the Russian Navy in the Baltic Sea.
A Russian Oil Tanker (out-flagged to Liberia) NS Concord is believed to be the mothership,
and while the official destination is Denmark, has hovered right outside the border for days,
and turned East when Swedish Newspapers started to give attention.
