October 1981 Soviet submarine was trown on the rocks 2 kms away from a Swedish naval base Karlskrona. It was resqued but revealed to the world. The "Wiskey" series was a "copy" of german ww2 submarines built in 1950's.

Yep! The Whiskey was spying the Swedish in their harbour of Karlskrona. This war harbour is in a fjord. The Whiskey drove dived in but was caught on rocks. This happened in the night and the Russians tried to escape. But it was useless. When the morning came the boat was discovered and soon nearly the whole Swedish fleet was aiming at the boat, which now explained they were in distress coming to the port. Yes, they were in distress- now 
. After a discussion the Swedish government decided to allow them to retreat. This was due not having quarrel with the Soviets and due to the nuclear weapons which might be on board. So the tugs moved the boat in position to come back to Russia. All western navies loughed hearing this story.
Gelion, I did not expect an answer so fast, but it is over to you!

Those stupid armoured car things, I can't remember what they are, but they are basically saloon cars with a sheet metal turret and a machine gun.
