the Message that it should be a submarine in the Vestfjord came in Saturday morning.
Search west of Bodø gave no results.
the Defense had no information about the Norwegian or allied submarines in the area, and it was therefore decided to send an Orion aircraft from the Era to investigate further, type the website AldriMer.
It took closer to four hours before overvåkingsflyet was in the air, but five hours of searching gave no results.
– Orion aircraft is not currently on the readiness, and therefore, it took such a long time to get crew and aircraft prepared to conduct the search. The observation is likely enough that we chose to use such resources as an Orion is, to find out of it. We always go thoroughly into such observations from the civilians, where we see that we do not have own resources in the area, ” says spokesperson Brynjar Stordal at the Norwegian joint headquarters (FOH) to NRK.
– We didn’t find anything that corresponds to the vessel we were tipped off about the. We were, with the help of the sensors the Orion aircraft has, is not able to detect anything, says Stordal to the class struggle.
According to AldriMer worked FOH out from that observation that was reported may have been of the Russian submarine “Podmoskovye”, which, according to Russian sources left the area by the Archangel Saturday, according to The Independent Barents Observer. Previously named the submarine in the Delta-IV class K-64 and had ballistic missiles on board. Now it is reconstructed and serves as “mother ships” for an unknown number of miniubåter.
Bound do not fit those two observations together, but the website says it is not unusual for the times from Russian sources is not correct.
Stordal, says to Klassekampen that the Defense does not have information that indicates that it should be Russian submarines in the area.
If a Russian submarine entered the Vestfjord, it would be an infringement of Norwegian territorial waters.
In our reported a witness to the police that he had seen a submarine in Dalsfjorden. The witness was considered very credible, and FOH confirmed to TV 2 that it was not a Norwegian or allied submarines in the area this day. Yet it was the Defense almost 100 percent sure that the observation was not a submarine. (NTB/TV 2)
