This picture made available Sunday by the Swedish defense minister shows a dark object in a white wake in the sea to the left of the birch. Mystery deepened over a Swedish military operation triggered by 'foreign underwater activity' off the coast of Stockholm, amid an unconfirmed report of a hunt for a damaged Russian submarine. On Saturday, Swedish armed forces stepped up an operation — involving more than 200 men, stealth ships, minesweepers and helicopters — in an area about 50 km (30 miles) east of the Swedish capital. The manuevers were initiated Friday after the armed forces said they had been informed of a 'man made object' in the water.

Is this a picture of a lake or the sea?
The reason I ask is that the shoreline looks more like a fresh water shore than a salt water shoreline.
Vegetation too close to the water line, no beach, and mangrove trees do not appear in Europe.

It’s just Russia being Russia. They’re surrounded by warlike neighbors, like Sweden and NATO, and have to harass them to prove Putin is STRONG.

So they are hunting a Red submarine in October? I’m pretty sure I already saw that movie.
Also the other one, about a damaged Russian sub’s crew coming ashore in California.
Which one are they remaking in Sweden; or is it a mashup of both?
