Amazing to learn sweden is in the fore front on its race to marine domination.

[@valkry007]

the underwater version of a sniper. Canada needs 6 of these for coastal and northern duty.

[@apuuvah]

Can pack 18 vertically launched cruise missiles (Tomahawk) for underwater launch. And, since a cruise missile is essentially a drone, can launch UAVs as well. And underwater drones (UUVs) as well as divers from the torpedo tubes.

[@monoman4083]

Looks good..Good idea crew is fore..

[@Peter.A-A]

Fantastic submarine solution. I whish Denmark would buy two of them. One for operation in Østersøen, and one for the Northsee and North Atlantic.

[@thetigergod]

wtf I think Taiwan would be very interested in this

The best shallow seas submarine, by some margin. Ideal for The Baltic Sea, and even more so for The Gulf of Bothnia and The Gulf of Finland.

[@GI.Jared1984]

the UK Should Buy 8

[@donquixote1502]

No, 12!

[@karlzzzyzz]

Why not 15?

[@kendonian357]

36 - 18 in UK and med waters - 18 for indian ocean and SCS

Україна повинна мати 3 такі підводні човни ! Ukraine should have 3 such submarines!

Nice and amazing this is machine underwater..fm Swedish but i have chosen machine fm Japanese E & Ship... Submarine Soyus class..

[@markjmaxwell9819]

The days of lead acid submarine batteries are in the past, the stirling engine still has a bit of life left in it for purposes besides submarines.

[@emrealtinbas9688]

Turkey needs at least five of these submarines

[@mostlymessingabout]

6 hours for a submarine on a surface... risky

[@Andrzejlbn]

How much, Poland should buy two.

[@matthayward7889]

Andrzejlbn about half a billion dollars “the project was restarted after the Swedish government placed a formal order for two A26 submarines for a maximum total cost of SEK 8.2 bn (approximately US$945 Million as of 18 March 2015)”

[@ivannoreland5656]

To be honest I don't think the A26 in its current form is what Sweden needs. The submarine design was developped after the fall of the Soviet Union, thus at the time the threat of invasion or a direct military attack on Sweden from Russia was deemed low. The A26 was therefore not designed to combat a powerful invasion fleet with the help of a large weapon load, and instead as explained in the video for information gathering. But the relevance of a powerful attack submarine able to take on a large fleet of enemy surface vessels and submarines has now again increased following Russia's increasingly agressive behavior in Eastern Europe and the Baltics. The Swedish A26 has a very low offensive capacity compared to most modern submarines, and while it may be almost impossible to detect, its capability to take on a large numerically superior enemy is lower than for example the Dutch version of the A26 or the diesel submarines currently in use by Russia. Add to that the fact that Sweden has ordered very few, only two. The Gotland submarines will be outdated in 2030, and with the limited offensive capacity if the A26, Sweden will need atleast four more submarines to have a chance to protect Swedish soil from invasion.

[@AndreasKanon]

This can easily be remedied with vls cells added to the boat, just make it a bit longer. They already have proof of concept designs to incorporate it

[@zoom5024]

In the future we could get the extra module that can carry 18 tomahawks.

[@enjoymusic4895]

indonesia procure this submarine...other contender is DCNS2000, A214.

[@matereo]

Will be made by Kockums. Sweden should not purchase anything produced at foreign power.

Ireland needs a few, mind you we need a real navy, not a coast guard

[@keithwatson1384]

We need a couple of frigates first! Some of those new British Type 31s would do!

[@ulfpe]

Sealth is fine but you need to kill the enemy

[@fchaaalol84]

ulfpe thats not the purpose of the submarine

[@ivannoreland5656]

Well I mean it has torpedoes

[@fchaaalol84]

Ivan Noreland yes but its main purpose is to gather intelligence without being detected

[@Karl-Benny]

That is what the torpedos are for and the vertical launchers

Was a nice submarine 20 years ago. But technology has surpassed this design. The french and japanese are leading the way. In AIP submarine technology.

[@RR-us2kp]

Japanese bought the aip technology from saab kokums. They didn't surpass anyone.

Idiot!

[@rogerman65]

Even the older Gotland-class submarine in 2018 I think, managed to "sink" an American aircraft carrier and all of its support vessels several times in exercices carried out by the American Navy where they leased a Gotland-class submarine and its crew for the purpose of learning how to defeat an adversary. Good for you, you're on our side most of the time.

swede blockheads ...... no periscope ?

[@matthayward7889]

diamonddog257 it’s got multiple ‘periscopes’, but they are electronic (FLIR/ LLTV etc) rather than a metal tube with mirrors in it

[@diamonddog257]

.... these totally digital ships are going to be real problematic ...... .. The Swedes generally build amazing stuff [or used to]...... I am impressed by the radar suite in even the old Viggen or Draken SAAB fighters ........ but the trends now seem to point to a mutual destructive scenario ---- I think EMP's will be the first step in a battlefield .................. then what ?
