IS THIS WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT?

Remember last year when NATO media were going berserk suggesting that Russia was invading Sweden after something was spotted in a channel close to Stockholm, and the NATO media were also suggesting that the only way that Sweden could defend itself was to join NATO?

Well, maybe the fuss was all about Saab testing its new superstealth submarine?

Saab has unveiled what it claims is the world's most advanced stealth submarine.

The A26 sub is 207 feet long, and features a 'ghost mode' to make it virtually undetectable when underwater.

It also features a unique pod that allows special forces divers to enter and exit the sub while it is underwater.

The firm has already signed a $1 billion deal to build two of the new submarines for the Swedish Navy.

'Extreme stealth is at the heart of the Kockums A26 submarine,' the firm said.

'Sweden is unleashing its GHOST (Genuine HOlistic STealth) technology, thus making the Kockums A26 submarine effectively invisible.'

The order, with a value of about $1.04 billion, is for construction of two Type A26 submarines and conducting mid-life upgrades to two Gotland-class submarines.

Work on the two A26s is to be completed by 2024.

A $1 billion deal, eh?

Worth a scare or two, eh?
