Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book describes and analyses the events surrounding the Soviet Navy Whiskey-class submarine of the Baltic Fleet which ran aground on 27 October 1981 on the south coast of Sweden, close to Naval Base Karlskrona, one of the largest Swedish military bases. The incident triggered a grave diplomatic and military crisis. Upon discovery, Swedish navy and army units quickly surrounded the submarine, and closed off the immediate area. Surveillance of Sweden's sea and land borders intensified. Swedish intelligence stepped up activities against Soviet Navy activities and communications. A tense diplomatic game began over the fate of the stranded submarine and its crew. The Soviets claimed that the submarine had entered Swedish waters by accident, and demanded that it be allowed to leave without further inspection of the vessel or interrogation of its crew. The Swedes demanded further clarification with regard to the submarine's mission and activities. Meanwhile, Swedish technical intelligence concluded that the submarine carried nuclear weapons, ultimately identified as torpedoes with nuclear warheads. The submarine crew took measures to blow up the submarine, in case Swedish special forces would storm the vessel a contingency that the Swedish Armed Forces indeed prepared for. To exacerbate the political and military crisis, Swedish intelligence and naval reconnaissance noted the unannounced arrival of a number of Soviet warships which anchored just outside Swedish territorial waters. The Soviet naval task force, commanded by Vice Admiral Aleksey Kalinin on the destroyer Obraztsovyy eventually consisted of more than ten Soviet warships. In response, Sweden's Prime Minister Thorbjoern Faelldin ordered the Armed Forces to defend the border, should the Soviets attempt a rescue of the stranded submarine. At the time, the international media saw the incident as evidence of extensive Soviet underwater activities in Swedish waters. The Swedish Armed Forces concluded that the violation was deliberate and part of illegal intelligence collection directed against Sweden. Yet, others argued that the violation was due to incompetence and substandard technical equipment rather than a conscious policy of aggression. In this book, Michael Fredholm von Essen describes the submarine incident, and presents new research on what happened based on recently declassified Swedish, Soviet, and U.S. military intelligence archival documents. He details the submarine's voyage into Swedish waters and the confrontation between Swedish and Soviet navy and air force elements He also explains the Soviet naval doctrine and fleet organization that formed the background to the submarine incident and indeed the Soviet Union's global naval stance.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hybrid threats embody a mixture of violent, coercive and non-violent means in order to enable state and non-state actors to achieve their ends. The concept of hybrid threats has in recent years become an integral part of the security and national security policies adopted by the European Union (EU), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and indeed most Western countries. The concept also frequently appears in headline news. Yet, military intelligence services and security services seem unable to agree on how to define the phenomenon, or on how to take efficient countermeasures against them. In this important work, the author examines the rise of hybrid threats in the post-Cold War environment and provides extensive examples of the nature of the threat and case studies of how hybrid threats have been employed by state and non-state actors.
