What is known.
In the Baltic Sea, Swedish armed forces have detected and are in pursuit of a Russian submarine.
According to Swedish Navy data, the submarine entered the Baltic Sea through the Great Belt Strait before being spotted in the Kattegati Strait - between Sweden and Denmark.
Preliminary information suggests that the submarine in question is a multipurpose diesel-electric submarine of the Kilo type according to NATO classification. Such boats are considered one of the quietest in the world and are capable of performing both reconnaissance and strike missions.
The Novorossiysk submarine, which surfaced off the coast of France a few days ago and then was spotted in the North Sea - on a tug towards the Danish straits, belongs to the same type.
Igår passerade en rysk ubåt in i Östersjön via Stora Bält.
Svenskt stridsflyg och örlogsfartyg mötte ubåten redan i Kattegatt och följer den på sin väg. En rutinverksamhet som sker i nära samverkan med våra allierade.
