Let’s hope so.

Based on the article, I get the impression that the Russians were operating in the area but not attacked by the Swedes. The military response appears to be search and rescue. Am I mistaken?

More likely sunk by Russian subpar engineering and maintenance.

remember back about 25 years when the Swedes bottled up a Russian sub in a fjord and it was forced to surface?

well 20 years later it turned out that sub DID have nuclear weapons on board and they DID target a city during that emergency.

a russian submarine is sending an SOS message on a de-crypted frequency

A de-crypted frequency?

Is that anything like a 'flux capacitor'?

I think Obama is playing Wag the Dog here to divert attention to his own disasters...

Golly, I wonder if one of their crewmen had sympathies to Ukraine, Chechnya, Georgia, etc., where Pooty-Poot has been acting up?

That’s the neat part about submarines. They are fragile little things, especially at depth. Unless everybody does their job just right, well...

Swedish paper reporting the sub was briefly visually observed and sent a distress call on an emergency channel and received a response from Kaliningrad. In addition, a Liberian flagged "tanker" owned by a Russian company is sitting still just outside Swedish territorial waters.

Sounds like a mini-sub deployed by the "tanker" is in trouble, and the Swedes are working hard to track it down.

[Drango]

can’t they just use a wrench and tap the SOS on the hull?

hmmm
