The boat wrecks found anywhere east of Sweden is most likely a Russian submarine from 1916. It says several sources told DN.
The pictures on Monday published the Swedish wrecks management company Ocean X Team shows a submarine wreck that is closer to three kilometers from the Swedish coast.
Armed Forces received some of the material on Monday morning when the company Ocean X Team contacted authority and told about the find. According to press secretary Jesper Tengroth has been informed of a film.
Ad:
– I just know that we were offered to look at their video content. If they have additional material I do not know, he says.
However, the data to DN says it is not moving on a modern submarine, but of a more than 100 year old structure. According to several sources who had previously worked with submarine analyzes of Swedish defense is the submarine resting place known since at least one year.
According to the sources was submarine of As-class (cat fish) and had been built in Vladivostok in 1904 and came in 1915 to be part of the Baltic Fleet. The submarine was sunk when it collided with the Swedish ship “Ingria” in the spring in 1916.
The submarine Ocean X Team on Monday sounded publish photos of similar in a number of ways the submarine that sank off Sweden in 1916. The dimensions, 22 meters long and 3 meters wide, is correct.
Dennis Åsberg, a of the men behind the Ocean X Team, told DN that the two-hour movie that was taken by the team’s underwater camera shows something that can be Cyrillic characters.
– The doors are closed and there is no visible damage to it. But we see something similar to Cyrillic characters on the hull but we are not a hundred on it. It looks like there are signs in the bow but it can also involve damage of any kind, he said.
A source in the defense DN talked to, however, is doubtful that some letters would have been left if it really concerns a modern Russian submarine that violated Swedish territorial waters:
– I have difficulty seeing that the Russians would have left such clear signs letters on a submarine they had lost it in the present, the source said.
To the sunken submarine have not been covered by marine plants is likely due to the marine life in the Baltic Sea does not go deeper than 40 meters, writes Ola Oskarsson responsible for the searches for the downed DC3 on Facebook. He was awarded since the King’s Gold Medal of the 8th magnitude of the feat of finding the wreckage: Oskarsson also writes:
“All First World War submarines we found have been in the condition as new if they are a little deeper.”
