Royal Marines hitch a submarine ride for daring Arctic fjord raiding mission​

Royal Marines emerged from the icy depths of an Arctic fjord on a German submarine to carry out a daring commando operation as part of major NATO mission rehearsals.

The expert marines – part of specialist units designed to carry out reconnaissance and direct naval gunfire from behind enemy lines – slipped silently away on inflatable raiding craft from U-35 to conduct their mission before returning and disappearing beneath the waves.

The aim of the mission was to slip in unseen and remain hidden while reconnoitering ‘enemy’ positions, calling in naval gunfire from allied warships before making a stealthy getaway.

It was conducted by specialist elements of the UK’s highly skilled Commando Force: The Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS), Shore Reconnaissance Troop (SRT) and 148 Commando Forward Observation Battery.

Second in command of SRS, whose identity cannot be revealed for operational reasons, said: “In the High North’s harsh and unforgiving domain, where extreme climatic conditions and adversary vigilance dominate, the ability to covertly insert reconnaissance teams ashore via Inflatable Raiding Craft (IRC) launched from a submarine is indispensable.

“It delivers the stealthy edge needed to penetrate denied areas, deny the enemy sanctuary, collect vital intelligence on subsurface and littoral threats and shape the operational environment before any escalation.

“This insertion capability from below the waves provides critical initiative to NATO in one of the planet’s most strategically contested regions.”

Shore Reconnaissance Troop and Special Observers from 148 Battery both of which are from Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS), 30 Commando worked with German U-Boat 35 S185, a type 212A Submarine as part of Exercise Cold Response 26. SRS boarded the German U- Boat using Inflatable Raiding Craft and stowing all their kit before diving below depths. Once in position they disembarked the boat under the guise of night to establish an observation post to allow 148 Battery to confirm a target to a partner force ship to execute naval fires. The UK and Norway have committed to stepping up their joint military partnership in the Arctic, as NATO allies look to strengthen security across the region against threats from Russia.
