Is anyone going to finish this, or should it be AfDed? As it is, it links to two existing articles but adds nothing more. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't heard of this before, and came across it very randomly after watching a BBC News bulletin from 1 May 1983 on YouTube and being prompted by that to look up Norway's Hardangerfjord, where a similar incident appears to have taken place. There's no mention of it in that article but I came across a book by Ola Tunander (someone should translate a stub from sv:Ola Tunander), who appears to be a respected academic of many years standing, which mentions the Norwegian incident and has this interesting passage in its blurb:

Ola Tunander's revelations make it clear that the United States and Britain ran a 'secret war' in Swedish waters. The number of Swedes perceiving the Soviet Union as a direct threat increased from 5-10 per cent in 1980 to 45 per cent in 1983. This Anglo-American 'secret war' was aimed at exerting political influence over Sweden. It was a risky enterprise, but perhaps the most successful covert operation of the entire Cold War.

I hope someone who knows more about all this than I do can incorporate Tunander's very interesting research into Wikipedia's coverage of this affair. 79.72.209.87 (talk) 00:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The WP.de article is much better, as far as I can see. Perhaps improve by reference to it? Tony (talk) 08:12, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

about the 2014 october incident: Russia denied the allegations and suggests that it could be Dutch submarine. There are rumors that Swedish military just wants to extend its budget, so it plays with the facts.
