Armed Forces revealed on Sunday evening a photo that they have received from a private citizen.
– The whistleblower saw anything submarine similar and after he took the picture began to slowly disappear below the surface , said Rear Admiral Anders Grenstad.
the filer must have seen a mysterious ship on Sunday morning. When he took the picture began to sink under the water and disappeared.
But Anders Grenstad can not tell Aftonbladet exactly what the picture shows.
– It is just before dawn, and it is not easy to see what it represents, says Anders Grenstad.
“Any type of submarine tower”
Aftonbladet reporter’s question about what he thinks it is shown in the picture corresponds Rear Admiral:
– It shows some kind of submarine tower with a bogsvall after. I believe that it makes three or four knots might.
He invites the public to not only call for the Armed Forces, but also to take pictures of things that you perceive as strange in the archipelago.
According to experts, means the picture clear proof that the alien underwater activities are conducted in Swedish territorial waters right now.
– You can understand why they are so active, additionally show you a map with three observations, so far it’s only been aware if one says Tomas Ries researching the Russian military in the North.
From Russia
He is convinced that the suspected submarine in the picture are from Russia.
– Who else would it be, it’s very hard to believe that it is about NATO because it has such close relations with Sweden. And would it be India or Iran? No. It is only Russia that it can be said Tomas Ries.
Lars Gyllenhaal, military history expert and author, sees the image as a confirmation that the Armed Forces are right out.
What does the picture?
– One can not determine what type of vehicle it is, much less what nationality is involved. But if the informant is telling the truth and it is true that it appeared as soon as the picture was taken as it indicates that there is a military craft. According to defense itself are no indications that civilians have been involved in diving or similar in the area. The distinct impression I get is that it is a military midget submarine of any kind.
How can the image affect the current operation?
– It can affect both bad and good ways. Good thing is that it strengthens the defense argument about foreign power underwater operations. Before the image was, it was bushy and diffuse. Now it is more concrete. On the other hand, risk defense now getting a lot of tips from the public that will simply prove to be completely false. But it expects the safe with.
Why is the defense out of the picture now?
– I think they actually need the public, it is so large surfaces, it is about a few hundred soldiers are not enough, even though they have boats and helicopters. The public has an important role to play even if they will report errors.
Sökinsatsen began last Friday, the picture shows up two days later. How do you interpret it?
– Defence new policy of more openness begins to break through. There have been claims that previous violations have mörkats. They have realized that secrecy does not always serve the country. Now they have been instructed by the Government to stop the dark, as we saw with the Air Force a few weeks ago.
If the image actually shows a Russian craft, what does it mean for the Russians that it appears up now
– I’m not sure if that means anything to them, maybe that one might feel that the search escalate. But the biggest impact is that the public will now get involved.
