Swedish authorities reportedly searching for a Russian submarine in its waters are probably looking in the wrong direction. The sub is probably Dutch, reports GHN based on RT.
Earlier Swedish media reported that the nation's navy is looking for a submarine in the Baltic Sea, possibly belonging to Russia.
Russia said there was no substance in reports of the Russian connection in the story.
"On Sunday the Russian Defense Ministry provided whatever aid it could to the Swedes in their futile search," the source commented.
The source added that if the Swedish Navy wanted to spare taxpayers' money and nerves, they should turn to The Netherlands.
The country's Walrus-class diesel-electric submarine Bruinvis was in the Baltic Sea last week, not far from Stockholm.
Photos of the emergency surfacing procedure by this submarine were leaked to Swedish media and reported as an emergency surfacing by a Russian submarine, the source said.
"Bruinvis has been docked in the Estonian capital Tallinn since Friday last week and is about to sail back. Hopefully, this report will help the Swedish Navy locate it as it travels back to one of the Dutch naval bases," the source said.
Swedish media reported that the country's navy deployed search parties on Friday after receiving reports of an identified submarine.
