The defense receives a new torpedo for submarine hunting

today at 20:28 Annica Ögren

The Swedish Armed Forces have today received a new submarine hunting torpedo delivered to the navy with the aim of increasing the capability for underwater combat. This is announced by the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) in a press release.

The new defense system, torpedo 47, becomes important for the ability to identify and neutralize foreign submarines. It is also particularly adapted to the special conditions around Swedish coasts.

The system will primarily be used by the Swedish submarines and the Visby corvettes, but is also prepared to be used on helicopters and primarily against submarines but also against surface ships.

Torpedo 47 is the fifth-generation light torpedo developed in Sweden and replaces today’s torpedo 45, writes TT.

  • More Russian diplomats to Sweden

    Over the course of a few months, ten out of a total of 35 diplomats from the Russian embassy in Sweden disappeared. Three of them were deported as the government believed they were working for the Russian intelligence service. Why the others left is unclear.

    But now Russia is once again strengthening its presence in Sweden. A total of 27 Russian diplomats are now serving in Sweden, reports SvD.

    Säpo has not made public how many diplomats they consider to be spies, but according to Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a close dialogue with Säpo on the issue.

    – Sweden’s government acts and protests strongly when Russian diplomatic personnel engage in activities that violate the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, for example conducting illegal activities under what the Security Police usually call a diplomatic cover, says Tobias Billström, to SvD.

    He also emphasizes the importance of maintaining diplomatic contacts, especially when Sweden’s relationship with Russia is strained.
