I was born and raised in sweden, I cant tell you how often we would see stories in the news about probable soviet/russian underwater incursions. Im sure everyone is familiar with the grounded sub in oct 81 but i dont think people understand how scared we were, someone was able to get close enough to the sub and scan it for signs of radioactivity and of course the soviets had a nuclear armed torpedo on board. Terrifying to say the least. The last incident I remember was somewhere between 2011-2013 when an emergency signal was thought to be coming from an underwater contact in the archipelago off the east coast of sweden. Nothing was ever found.

You do understand a lot of those news are propaganda designed to scare you into voting / backing certain party / policy right? I am from Taiwan and we used to have bi-annual or even more frequent air raid drills. Nearly 30 years on I now know there were never any intend nor capability from mainland China to bomb Taiwan but those in power used those drills to get support for their pro-independence policy. Same situation in the US and maybe Sweden as well. Every election candidates accuse each other of being agent of Russia / China. Do you really think Obama, Hillary, Trump, Biden is actually taking money or is Russian / Chinese?

The key things about the nuclear submarine bases in Scotland is their location close to where masses of people live. Anything blowing up or releasing radiation would do so up wind of both nearby Glasgow and the wider Central Belt, a densely populated zone running eastwards to Edinburgh, only about 50 miles away. This is still a live issue as one of the bases, Faslane is still operating and is home of the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine fleet, including both the Trident missile subs and the hunter killers. Faslane is located on a deep inlet called Gare Loch on the north side of where the wide river Clyde flows down to the sea. It is close to Helensburgh, an upmarket suburb of Glasgow. Also on the north side of the Clyde, but two lochs further along towards the sea is Holy Loch, a small, deep inlet. This is where the US based its nuclear subs in Scotland during the Cold War. It closed in 1992. The town of Dunoon is close by. I can remember as a child seeing submarines passing by when visiting relatives in Helensburgh. Presumably these were British subs. It's a live political issue now because Faslane is a major base and the British nuclear deterrent is based there. Any future independent Scottish government might want this big potential target and hazard relocated a bit further away from where most of the Scots people live. Somewhere in England perhaps!

While interesting I am quite familiar with the Russian capabilities although i understand people might want to know what Russia has available to them, and i know you said you did not want to get into the NORD 1&2 debacle but while Russia does have a the capability the problem is these subs as you mentioned is where they are based. That these subs while in operation can't sneak past 7 NATO countries that have extensive sonar detection capabilities and has been upgraded since the cold war and still in use today. In the case of Denmark they would be in the heart with limited depth so avoiding detection will be impossible for any nation even for the US. I am more interested in what capabilities that are at Kaliningrad which is the closest point to the incident. Still have to avoid detection from Poland, Denmark, Sweden and to a certain extent Latvia. As for the undersea cable off of Scotland it was stated to be believed the damage was caused by a Fishing trawler. While interesting from the pictures released it appears the pipes have clean cuts with a tool indicating work to cut into the pipes which I think is beyond the dolphins expertise's.

A Swedish ex military diver said that such damage can be made by explosives. To buy such explosives is however impossible since they are made for a specific situation and hence cost more than it's worth AND will get the creator killed by the buyer. The damage could be done for less than 1/1000 of the price of this explosion. Someone payed many $millions extra to dont be exposed when destroying something that Russia could have done without any cost. I don't know for sure but I'm 99,99999% sure that it was done by NATO/US to calm the protests in Germany while making it impossible for European leaders to make peace with Russia.

Any country is capable of doing the nord stream event. Many research universities, salvage companies, and exploration companies can also do something like that. The equipment is radially available to the public, which has the ability to pay for it. Both damage locations were in well traveled international shipping lanes. If a sub was used, then it would be very difficult to detect it working under cargo ships making lots of noise. The pictures show pealed-up damaged end of the pipe, which really means nothing. There was gas pressure in the pipes, so the damage simply needed to exceed the pipe's ability to hold the gas pressure. I highly doubt anyone here is qualified to determine if the pipes were cut or sheered or broke due to the pressure. The one private person took pictures, and he said one of the pipes was missing many meters of length. It is unknown if the countries doing the investigation removed parts of the pipe for analysis, because those countries: Sweden, Denmark, Norway and whomever are not saying anything.

He has another video worth checking out, about Russian use of marine mammals in a naval context generally (rather than specifically for seabed warfare). Just make sure to remember: _It's very dangerous to give a dolphin the ability to kill_ Actually, I'm wondering what use they put these animals to for seabed warfare. I imagine they'd be good at detecting/locating cables, etc so the submersibles can get to work quickly and stealthily.

I would love to learn more about what the beluga’s do. Is there evidence of how they have been effective currently?

Not exactly what you've asked, but he has a video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m526eZ-QfpqqiaM for dolphin work with the russian navy

It would be nice if you could do more KZbin content like this - it's become really really hard to dicpher content and i've been following you long before this mess began so at least you're a reliable OSINT source. Surely you can increase the frequency of these vids? lot's of objective value away from the bs online.

I was waiting for an official analysis of the Nordstream pipeline sabotage but I guess your not going to get into it. I can understand why but you are the authority on this kind of warfare and as you correctly stated have been working on the issue of seabed warfare technology for many years. I value your analysis a lot and, hopefully, you will get into an analysis of Nordstream in a future video. Thanks H.I. Sutton!

Given the recently renewed actuality of this video after several snapped cables, and given my impression of what SOSUS was capable of during the 70s (pinpointing falling Saturn stages, geolocating implosions and other such events). It seems from the news that "who did it" is based on AIS positions. I am unaware of the passive sonar capabilities of NATO in the Baltic, and it is a comparably small and crowded sea. While sub-based warfare capabilities as depicted here probably know what they are doing in terms of noise, wouldn't dragging your anchor for miles over ocean ground, hitting the occasional rock bed and snapping the undersea cables be kind of noisy, given also that the anchor seemed to be missing in the end (and if that anchor chain snapped in the Baltic, i would expect a kind of loud noise from it)?

I would like to see a video on the NordeStream 2 incident, but I also understand if you are not able to comment on this for various reasons.

WELL DONE! Precise, succinct, informative. Will be watching for more. Do you have any analytic interest in rapid insertion/ reactiin/ response forces either for littoral or deep area control functions?

Russia does not operate extensive underwater cable systems and therefore does not operate specialized cable ships which of course capable of underwater warfare as well as their ordinary commercial operations . Modern cable ships carry deep diving submersibles as well as traditional cable equipment such as grapnels. In 1939 on the outbreak of war a British cable ship cut the German telegraph cables to South America in the English Channel.
