Why a Stranded Russian Submarine Terrified Sweden
The submarine infiltrations appeared to cease with the end of the Cold War but not for good.
Here’
s What You Need To Remember: On the morning of October 28, 1981, two Swedish fishermen were hauling their catch back to Karlskrona when they noticed a mysterious oil slick. One Bertil Sturkmen later returned to the area to investigate, and at 10 a.m. came across a startling sight: a seventy-six-meter long submarine wedged on its starboard side against the sharp rocks of Torumskär island. An officer was standing on the submarine’s conning tower, staring at him through binoculars and holding a machine gun.

The air is full of flashy fourth-generation fighters (like the Air Force s F-15s and F-16s and the Navy s F/A-18E/Fs), and newer fifth-generation fighters (like the F-22).
