Thought this was going to be a tribute to the BTTF thread, moaning that his accent wasn't Russian enough, etc. 🙂

they explain that early on by saying he's a Lett or Lithuanian, and that's why he has an unusual accent that doesn't match the rest of the Soviet (presumably mostly Russian) crew.

Potentially a big story this. disappointed that I had to do a manual search on the BBC to bring it up in their news....while at the same time there are some real non-stories featuring prominently.

Non-stories are the BBC news...

The Russians do this all the time, unlike the morally upright NATO members whose subs never get up to anything nefarious.

so why does everyone else in the movie speak English with a Russian accent but Connery does not..., cos he demanded it as part of his acceptance. ..?

Love it. As for the accent - see Highlander - Shean plays a Spaniard, while the eponymous highlander is played by a Frenchman...

They buy them flat packed and this reduces transportation, storage and assembly costs...

A nuclear submarine will have very advanced inertial navigation systems. So, although it has been dramatised and exaggerated for the movie, there is some truth in it.

Wikström spoke only of foreign underwater activity, without specifying submarines.

Yeah, that's nice and vague. Could just be a guy holding his breath. 😀

The Swedish navy has cool boats because they have never deluded themselves into thinking there is not a Russia threat. Unlike many idiots in the UK.

They do and it does work ok, but its more like in the 100's of meters not inches lol, it works by speed though the water and course you have been traveling the longer between fixes (gps) the more error it build's into a box where you ''could'' be.

*Submarine Pedant Alert*

RE: the Swedish having cools boats

They have cool ships.

A boat is what they are 'investigating'

That is all.
