I thought it was people from Säpo, Must and the police working in the area to catch any person with false identity or any Swede who feel they should help a foreign nation.

made me remember my own time in the Swedish Navy, when we had exercise there was always a "well-equipped" fishing boat nearby

Yes, they are involved, but I also heard Hemvärnet was contributing. I assume for the reasons you mention.

Using Hemvärnet(National guard) is good thing, they know the people in the area, that is if they come from the same area and they know the terrain very well.

Yes, Swedish media just mentioned something about a cessation in the operation now. I was not clear if the reporter meant that the Navu ships and helicopters had left the specific area he was in or if it was a general cessation. We'll see I guess.

Norwegian news are discussing a nearby Russian tanker that has been acting strangely. There's speculation that it could be serving as the mothership for a Russian midget sub.

NS Concord is the tanker they are talking about.
