The Swedes seem to not have very good ASW as they never caught a Soviet/Russian sub except for the one that ran aground back in 1981. I doubt the new Leftie Swedisn government has the guts to use weapons.

Anybody remember the submarine tractor incident from the 80’s, in the waters off Sweden??
We know the Russians have continued research with “Super-Small Submarines”. Could this be another one?

So why is Jack Ryan speaking with a Welsh accent when he’s repeating what an Estonian sub commander said about things not reacting well to bullets?

Although I have no wish for war or even a battle, I would LOVE for something to “wake up” the sleeping Swedish military know-how. They could be like Israel, tiny yet remarkably tech-savvy in defensive warfare. But just as you suggest, they must first have the will.

More on my previous post:
Russian Navy develops mini submarines
Russian shipbuilders are developing new “super mini” submarines, the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) state holding company said Friday.
Work on the sea craft was in progress at the St. Petersburg-based Malakhit naval machine manufacturing bureau and that Navy command has been showing interest in the project, the company`s vice president Igor Zakharov said.
Alexander Terenov, an advisor to Malakhit`s general director, said the Project 865 Piranha submersible (NATO reporting name Losos) could go beyond just “hit and run” operations.
“They have a broad range of applications and can carry full-fledged missile and torpedo systems,” Terenov said.
He said the Piranha could also be deployed for the protection of naval installations, and would be operated by small crews and cost little to maintain.
Piranha is a midget submarine designed for special operations and is almost completely silent. Only two Piranha-class submarines were reportedly ever built in Russia.

Piranha Mini-subs's from the late-70's. As the article above states, the Russians have been working on a new version.

The Russians probably infiltrate their waters as a routing training exercise.
