This New Swedish Submarine Has russia Completely Outmatched (video commentary)

12/21/2025

Sweden’s new A26 “fifth-generation” submarine, that Poland just bought, is making Russia nervous, and in this video I break down why this stealth-focused Blekinge-class boat is already shifting the Baltic balance of power. This isn’t marketing fluff. Sweden built a submarine designed for shallow water, drone-filled, sensor-heavy warfare, and it arrives exactly when Russia is least prepared for it.

I explain what “fifth-generation” actually means, how the A26 uses Stirling AIP to stay submerged for weeks, why its low-observable shaping matters in the Baltic’s crowded acoustic environment, and how its integrated unmanned underwater vehicles extend its reach. I also cover why Poland just decided to buy three of them and what that means for Russia’s naval planning.
