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.

Certainly looks like an inland fresh water lake or river. But it could just as easily be inland salt water. Bay, or fjord. Isn’t that area known for its fjords?

Are you referring to the military searching with what SEEMS like overkill? How advanced could their military be compared to the Russians, technologically and their training.

That’s the best pic they could get?
Does this vessel belong to bigfoot?

If you blow it up, you can see a feather sticking up. So I think that’s Nokomis in his canoe, off the shore of Giche Gumee, by the shining big sea water.

Mangrove? I don’t know where you came up with that. It looks just like Puget Sound. Salt water...

No. I’m referring to the laughable photo and its description.
They’ve had patrol boats in the water 24/7 since this first broke and the best they have to release for ‘evidence’ of a foreign vessel is a lousy cell phone shot? After releasing media photos of their forces performing the search?
And this is reported seriously, vs. satire?
Unflippin-believable. “Nessie” is a better caption.

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?
