On Thursday we noted that no matter how tempting it may be to tune out the almost hourly warnings from various sources claiming Greece is finally set to run out of cash, one can’t just assume the government will yet again find another couch cushion to reach into in order to scrape up a few more euros to pay government employees and creditors and thereby forestall the inevitable for another few weeks. Eventually, there simply will be no more money and the first signs that Greece has entered the final, terminal phase in the long and painful road to complete insolvency showed up last month in the form of a sweeping decree which required municipalities to transfer excess cash to the central bank.
That mandate was greeted with incredulity and with the country’s local governments less than willing to turn over their funds, Athens finally ran out of money (if only for 8 or so hours) on Tuesday when pensioners showed up at ATMs only to discover that their money simply was not there. Amusingly, the government blamed the delay on a “technical glitch”, and while we suppose it’s not exactly a lie to call running out of money a “technical glitch”, it was abundantly clear that the country’s socialist saviors were making a feeble attempt to avert a pensioner mutiny. Today, we get more details about the situation and sure enough, the retirees are restless.
Panicking pensioners queued at banks, raided their accounts and broke into a board meeting of the state pension fund as Greece struggled to pay its two million pension recipients.
Officials claimed that a “technical hitch” had delayed some payments as Greece braced itself to run out of money in days without a breakthrough from secret talks in Brussels…
The country’s state pension funds almost defaulted after a shortfall of “several hundred million euros” delayed payments to pensioners this week. Many people panicked when they discovered that their pension payments were not in their accounts.
“Normally I only withdraw half the money at the end of the month but today I’m taking it all,” said Sotiria Zlatini, 75, a former civil servant. “There are so many rumours going round.”
In a sign of public discontent, pensioners broke into a board meeting of the state pension fund demanding that it stop transferring cash reserves to the government under an emergency decree to keep the country solvent.
Meanwhile, Syriza remains stuck between insolvency and its campaign promises and it now appears that the government’s “red lines” may once again undercut the negotiating process just when it appeared that some progress (whatever that means at this point) was possible over the weekend. Here’s Bloomberg:
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told his cabinet on Thursday that he’s confident a deal to unlock bailout aid is close, even as his government sent conflicting signals on its willingness to agree on long-stalled reforms.
Tsipras addressed his ministers as Greece and its euro-area partners stepped up talks in a bid to reach a preliminary deal by May 3, ahead of looming debt payments in early May, three people with knowledge of the talks said earlier. The aim would be for finance ministers to sign off on the accord by their next scheduled meeting on May 11, the officials said, asking not to be named because the talks are private…
One European Union official cautioned that at the moment getting a technical deal by Sunday looked optimistic. Hard and long negotiations will take place over the coming days, with more talks planned for next week. Even so, reaching a comprehensive agreement by May 11 remains unlikely, the official said.
An agreement could still stumble at opposition within Tsipras’s government. In a sign of the obstacles yet to overcome for a deal, Tsipras told his ministers that any agreement would be in line with the popular mandate as expressed by the government’s “red lines” in the talks, according to Sakellaridis. The remark echoed a statement by Greece’s Finance Ministry on Wednesday that the government “retains red lines” in the negotiations, which include a sales tax on islands, pension and labor market reforms and asset sales.
Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis on Thursday said Greece wouldn’t discuss pension cuts or the sales tax increase in the current talks, with any pension reform being part of a broader agreement in June.
Despite the red line rhetoric, Tsipras admits that a referedndum may be necessary on a possible deal with creditors which essentially means that in a worst case scenario, Athens may have to make concessions that are inconsistent with the 'annihilate all austerity' line that got Syriza elected.
The problem, as we noted earlier this week, is that two out of three Greeks aren't interested in a referendum. Of course they're also not interested in leaving the euro... or in implementing further austerity measures in order to get a bailout... or in empty ATMs.
Two Russian nuclear-capable bombers intruded into the U.S. air defense zone near Alaska last week in the latest saber rattling by Moscow, defense officials said.
The Tu-95 Bear H bombers flew into the Alaska zone on April 22. But unlike most earlier incursions, no U.S. interceptor jets were dispatched to shadow them, said defense officials familiar with the latest U.S.-Russian aerial encounter.
Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for the U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), declined to confirm the incursion. But he said no jets were dispatched last week to intercept intruding aircraft.
The incident was the first Russian bomber incursion of a U.S. or Canadian air defense zone this year. Officials said it likely signals the start of Russia’s long-range aviation spring training cycle. Further aerial incursions are expected.
Last year, U.S. and Canadian jets intercepted Russian bombers on at least six occasions, and intruding Russian long-range aircraft were detected on 10 occasions, Davis said.
Despite remaining in international airspace, “we believe that if the Russian military filed flight plans and self-identified—by ‘squawking and talking’—the overall safety of flight would be enhanced,” Davis said.
“And it could also reduce the number of times we scrambled fighter jets to intercept the aircraft, thereby reducing the potential for miscalculation.”
Davis said the increase in flights near North America coincided with Russia’s incursion into the Ukraine and Crimea.
“These flights often enter the U.S. or Canadian [air defense identification zone], but have not entered U.S. or Canadian sovereign airspace,” he said, adding that the flights are legal since the ADIZ is not sovereign airspace.
Last year’s intercepts included the following encounters, according to NORAD:
On April 2, 2014, two U.S. F-22 fighters intercepted two Bear bombers west of Alaska’s coast.
On June 9, 2014, two F-22s intercepted four Bears and one refueling tanker near Alaska. Two of the Bears later flew near the California coast and were intercepted by two F-15s.
Early August 2014: NORAD notes a “spike” Russian aircraft operating in and around the U.S. ADIZ.
On Sept 17, 2014, two F-22s intercepted two Russian IL-78 refueling tankers, two Russian Mig-31 fighter jets and two Bear long-range bombers in the ADIZ west of Alaska. The Russian aircraft flew a loop south, then turned west toward Russia.
On Sept. 18, 2014, two Bears were intercepted and identified by two Canadian CF-18 fighters in the western reaches of the Canadian ADIZ, in the Beaufort Sea.
On Dec. 8, 2014, two CF-18s intercepted two Bears near the Beaufort Sea off Canada’s coast.
In Europe, the latest bomber encounter took place on April 14, when two British Typhoon jet fighters intercepted two Bear H bombers near British airspace.
There can be no doubt that the internal events at Walmart holds the key to the end game of Jade Helm operations. Jade Helm and Walmart are inextricably linked and the existing evidence suggests one of two possible end game probabilities for Jade Helm.
1. Converted Walmart stores will be processing centers for FEMA camp political prisoners.
2. Some Walmarts will be used as supply and staging centers for an internal conflict within the United States.
In the past four weeks, I have watched over 100 videos on Jade Helm and Walmart. I have performed what researchers call a qualitative, or a descriptive analysis of the available facts. In performing this task, I have looked for patterns among the recent Walmart closings because it is clear that the closings coincide with Jade Helm. This constitutes Phase One of the analysis. In Phase Two, the findings from phase one are correlated to known or strongly suspected events connected to Jade Helm and/or other areas of concern related to national security. Subsequently, this kind of descriptive analysis can yield strong clues as to the true intent of where Jade Helm is headed and what the Walmart role consistes of in conjunction with Jade Helm.
Phase One: Common Characteristics of Walmart Closings
A series of representative videos are analyzed for commonalities which might reveal intent and purpose of the connection of Jade Helm and the Walmart closings.
The Local Media Discredits the Official Plumbing Excuse
You have heard the stories everywhere that Walmart is closing stores because of bad plumbing. What are the odds that ALL of these stores would have plumbing issues.?It is not really plumbing issues at all that have led to these store closures. We already knew that. The real reason is perhaps more sinister because even the local media is not buying the Walmart plumbing excuse.
Closed Walmart: Brandon, Florida
This very amateurish report reveals a very consistent trend in that is reoccurring in the closed Walmarts in that concealment is the rule of thumb when it comes to these stores. Since when is it necessary to conceal plumbing operations from the public? In the following video, please note the containers which are being used to block the rear entrance of the store. This too, is becoming a consistent theme among closed Walmarts.
Roxboro, NC and Their Closed Walmart
In an email sent to both Steve Quayle and myself, we see the same pattern of using shipping containers as a means of concealment with regard to what is going on inside a closed Walmart.
Dave and Steve,
My mother just sent me these pictures of the parking lot of her local Walmart SuperCenter in Roxboro, NC.
Two things are new:
1. notice the newly cutout square in the parking lot replaced with new asphalt and with a new grate of some sort over it
2. notice all the shipping containers that were just recently put there
I do not know what this may mean, but I thought I’d share it with you guys.
Blessings,
J

The Hughes Exclusive Footage Inside Closed Peco Rivera Walmart As Cops Guard Dock and Entrances
Stephanie Hughes filmed this exclusive footage at the now closed Pico Rivera California Walmart Location. The store recently closed for highly suspicious reasons and, again, it certainly was not due to plumbing. Walmart had never contacted the local County to get permits for the plumbing work. Officials connected to the Walmart closing have now covered the windows with black tarp in another set concealment activities that we are witnessing around the country.
In another disturbing trend, this Walmart is surrounded with cops. Since when are cops needed to protect plumbers performing repairs? Also, as you can see from the video, officials have built a wall up inside of the store so no one can see whats going on past the Pharmacy area which is still open to the public in yet, another, act of concealment.
PLUMBING? REALLY? Again, we see a multitude of cops at the receiving dock at the back of the store. What are they protecting, or better yet, hiding from the public?
Walmart Closing: Jade Helm Las Vegas
Of all the multitude of videos that I have reviewed, this video contains the most disturbing material and perhaps provides the best clues as to what is the real objective that is behind the closing the Walmarts.
First, I feel compelled to offer a warning related to bad language with regard to the following video. However, I felt the evidentiary value of the video outweighs the banning of the video because of repititive foul language.
The most stunning piece of evidence offered in the following video is the tearing up of the Walmart flooring and replacing parts of the Walmart flooring with very thick cement floors. This speaks to the need to have a reinforced floor in order to host very heavy military equipment.
Another striking feature of this Walmart is that it is being allowed to stay open, in part, while product disappears from the shelves. There does not appear to the typical “Just in Time” deliveries going on inside this Las Vegas Walmart. Another curious feature in the video is the absolute stripping of the walls of any related Walmart advertising and other signs. The empty walls are very telling as it is obvious that this Walmart is showing clear signs of being closed as product is being emptied.
On the outside of the building, the main electric Walmart sign has been taken down. Additionally, there are cameras all across the roof area of the store. What we are seeing here is the conversion of a Walmart store while the store is being kept open.
Phase One Analysis
In several videos I have examined, there are very consistent patterns which are present in this presentation. First, the closures are unlike any other store closures that I have witnessed in that extreme concealment of internal Walmart activities is the absolute and undeniable commonality in all of the store closures. In the past, when I have witnessed this level of concealment and secrecy, the intent being concealed is normally quite evil in its manifestations.
Another striking element related to the Walmart closures has to do with blockading the rear of each store. This indicates to me the need to temporally fortify the rear entrance so as to prevent incursions. I would expect that large and reinforced steel doors will replace these temporary barricades.
In all the store closures that I have seen, I have never witnessed this kind of police presence associated with an allegedly temporary closing for plumbing reasons. Since when do police find it necessary to guard plumbers?
It is also quite clear that Jade Helm is contracting with local law enforcement to provide security and to keep the curious away in an effort to maintain some kind of secret. Why use the police? Because the police would fit in better to the local landscape and will arouse less suspicion from the public than if military personnel were to be used.
In the final analysis, it is clear that the Walmart stores are being retrofitted for military purposes.
Phase Two Analysis
In one of the most stunning revelations made in the entire Jade Helm fiasco is the revelation by Judicial Watch of the existence of an ISIS camp a mere 8 miles from El Paso, Texas. Further, the anonymous letter I received from a Texas Ranger seems to confirm that local law enforcement is bracing for an ISIS incursion. In previous articles, I have revealed how the Pantex nuclear plant is a target of concern and previous articles proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the existence of SAM missiles 45 miles southeast of Lubbock, TX.
Clearly, and as I have repeatedly pointed out, Texas is preparing to be invaded by hostile forces and ISIS and their allies. This Sunday evening, on The Common Sense Show, I am hosting an officer from Special Operations Forces, Scott Bennett, who says that the U.S. government is sponsoring ISIS. The following email I received last night parallels the Bennett account of the origin of ISIS.
Dave- I read most of your daily articles. In this Texas ranger article your talking about ISIS and Texas. I have a source in governmemnt that has for a long time now told me- ISIS is part of our CIA and DHS. No doubt in my mind they are going to create a false-flag event to bring in mnartial law.
It is most important to realize that this is our fascist government beginning the overthrow of our country! These bastards are now in charge of all important dept’s.in government. It will be up to men like the Ranger here in this note, who will do the right thing and stand for his oath to our Constitution- Obama’s gang have already broken this pledge!…
Allen Hall
The Role of Walmart in the Coming Texas Incursion
Both the Allen Hall and the Scott Bennett accounts speak directly and indirectly to the fact that ISIS will be employed to carry out a false flag event(s) on American soil, hence, the preparations we are seeing in Texas for such an event. These preparations have taken an interesting twist when we consider what former Petty Officer, James Miles, says about his specific Walmart training in the following email he sent to me last night.
______
Good evening Mr Hodges,
My name is James Miles, Former 2nd class Petty officer United States Navy.
I am only slightly familiar with your show. However, I am part of a Facebook group Jade Helm Discussion. We are having a conversation about the Wal Mart closings and someone suggested I contact you about my personal experience in this sort of thing. From 2001-2005 I was stationed at Tinker A.F.B. as part of strat-comm. The VQ-4 squadron. Our aircraft was an E6-b/c Mercury 707 Platform. Our job was to conduct the looking glass as well as a myriad of other missions. It was a way of ensuring a survivable form or control over the nations nuclear forces.
The reason all of this is relevant is because the parts of the squadron that were not aircrew were divided into what we called “tiger” teams. The mission would be to leave out for various parts of the country. Usually within 50-100 miles of an airstrip that could handle a 707 type aircraft. We would then recon, acquire and maintain our aircraft. When we were not at an airfield we would be at a secure location that would contain everything we needed for long term survival. This would usually be a Wal Mart that would have been taken by us. Plenty of food, medical supplies, clothes, bedding small arms and ammunition, even basic vehicle repair. It was to be the perfect command post to blend in with the population. Easily guarded. Especially in an emergency situation. The public would think we were security for the store even though we were there for an entirely different purpose.
It is my contention that given the geographic locations of these stores, that we may indeed be looking at that. Command centers. I also am concerned because when we did our exercises, we never actually took over and shut down any Wal Mart. I do believe this may be a real world event unfolding. It is important to get correct information to those who can help. Logic tells me, that these are not being used as mass detention centers, Although, you could set temporary cells. Please be carefulwith any info you recieve, or release. Many peoples lives may depend on it.
Thank you and God bless

It is clear that Petty Officer Miles is speaking about the creation and maintenance of a covert and preplanned covert guerrilla warfare force which would be secretly prepositioned in an area that would likely be overrun by an invading force. The term, Viet Cong, kept going off in my head as I read the Miles email. What Petty Officer Miles is stating strongly matches the original Jade Helm “Master the Human Domain” documents. The documents talk about the insertion of stealth forces based upon the use of “infiltration techniques”. It is here that we are seeing the revelation of a third Jade Helm operational goal, the creation of a guerrilla warfare response team in a soon-to-be endangered area. The first two purposes of Jade Helm are dissident extraction (i.e. Ft. Lauderdale extraction drills) and martial law (i.e. the use of the 82 Airborne and various National Guard Units) to carry out the geographic isolation of troubled areas.
ISIS made their presence known in Ferguson. What did Eric Holder know that we are just figuring out?
It has been alleged that agent provocateurs, from the Eric Holder run Justice Department, are behind the sharp increase in violence involving racial issues in Ferguson (twice), New York City and now in Baltimore. The fermenting of these riots provides the conditions needed to practice the implementation of martial law.
The aforementioned statement is bolstered by the following video which comes from an original Pravda report which states that this summer, the American military and the National Guard will be training to quell any civil unrest within the United States. The following report matches the intelligence I am receiving from multiple sources.
Conclusion
When I called for Texans to be prepared to be invaded, that call seems to be right on the money. I fully expect these closed Walmarts to once again, be open to the public once the needed changes are made to be “guerrilla force” friendly. These events would suggest that nothing nefarious will happen for six months, the length of the closing of the Walmarts, although that cannot be guaranteed.
Finally, I would like the readers to pause and consider how bad things could get in the Southwest. If the U.S. military has to prepare its soldiers to conduct guerrilla warfare training, while using Walmart as a covert base of operation on American soil, it speaks to the fact that the coming ISIS incursions are going to be dramatic. DUE TO THE FACT THAT CLOSED WALMARTS STRETCH ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN U.S., SPEAKS TO HOW WIDESPREAD THE FOLLOWING ATTACKS ARE GOING TO BE IN THIS ISIS VERSION OF THE TET OFFENSIVE.
Finally, the Russians are speaking about an end game that nobody is talking about and that will be the topic of the next article in this series.
This is part three of the ongoing examination of Jade Helm.
(Note - I want to qualify the warning that is in this article. The following applies "IF" the United States crosses the Rubicon into a total police state. Thus far, we are a developing police state. Eventually the morphing process will be complete. When it does, the concerns in this warning will apply to all of us!)
Jade Helm
Over the past few weeks, I have been researching the meaning Jade Helm. I want to help solve the mystery, so in this expose I will offer my findings about the meaning of Jade Helm and the logo.
Several days ago, someone disclosed that the term Jade Helm meant:
Jade - Joint Assistant for Development and Execution
However, I have not been able to confirm that the meaning of Helm as meaning Homeland Eradication of Local Militants. If anyone has a document that offers proof of this, please contact me and I will share it. Until then, I cannot relay the rumor that this is the meaning of the word "Helm."
In the future, I will share information about the term "Jade. " It appears that it is a computer program that the US military is using to help with execution of operations.
The Jade Helm Logo
In this expose, I want to focus on the Jade Helm Logo because I believe that it may have a cryptic cipher within it that means "incarceration."
Looking at the image as a whole...
It is made up of several symbols...
1. Two arrows.
2. A sword or a knife.
3. A transparent shoe in the center.
Army Special Forces Logo
The arrow and the knife appear to be a derivative of the US Army's Special Forces Logo.
As you can see, It contains the two arrows and a sword that looks more like a blade. I think that it is possibly the "V-42 Stiletto," which is the knife that the Army's Special Service Force used in WW2.
In WW2, the Army's Special Service force was the forerunner to today's Special Forces.
Here is an image of the stiletto:
So is this all there is to the logo? Is the artwork an innocuous image that really has no message to it?
If I followed that logic, I am still left with confusion over the center image of the transparent shoe, and I have to ask, why was it placed in there?
It makes no sense! So I sought to understand it. The first thing that I did was look at the image in Photoshop. I wondered if could adjust it to see it clearer.
Here it is zoomed in:
As you can see, It is difficult to make out. So I changed the contrast levels and got this:
It was a little improvement but still not good enough. I decided to invert the contrast, like a negative image and got the result below.
By reversing the contrast, I was able to see that the shoe is a wooden clog. Make note that there is a pattern in the shoelace area and in front of the pattern are three small lines.
I searched online and found the same design in wooden shoes that are sold today in Holland. Make note of the wooden clog below and the similarities with the swirl pattern and the three lines on the front.
Here they are side by side:
Here is another image of wooden shoes from Holland...
Based on the evidence above, I have determined that the shoe inside of the Jade Helm logo is a wooden shoe or a "clog."
This leads to more questions. Why? I have read some of the theories about how the meaning of the wooden shoe means "sabot." Some of you have emailed me about it, where the word "sabot" means wooden shoe and is where the term "sabotage" comes from. This theory may have merit, so I do not want to dismiss it. But it does not explain why the military would purposely place a symbol of sabotage in their operation.
The Jade Helm logo illustrates what "they" intend to do in their operations, not the other way around. Sabotage is what the enemies would do to them, therefore, I am lead to conclude that the shoe symbol is an illustration of what "they" will do to the humans as they "master the human domain."
So what are the other possibilities?
As I sought an answer, I wondered how wooden shoes could tie-in to the Jade Helm Operation when it came to extractions, because this is one the main concerns about Jade Helm.
I asked the question, "Will Jade Helm lead to live extractions? If so, what will become of the extracted individuals?"
"Detention" can be the only conclusion!
With that in mind, I did a search to find out if wooden clogs have ever played a role in detentions or prison clothing.
Here is what I discovered when I did a search for the words: wooden, clogs, prison..
As you can see, there are many hits that reveal wooden clogs were a part of the clothing that prisoners wore during the holocaust.
Here are some of the web sites:
auschwitz.org - Scroll down to see the wooden clogs.
theholocaustexplained.org - This site explains the uniforms and clothing that the prisoners would wear including, wooden clogs.
Mauthausen_Concentration_Camp - This site shows images of the Mauthausen Death Camp located in Austria. In the Camp Life Artifacts page, scroll down to see the images of the wooden clogs.
in these sites, there are museum images of the wooden clogs that prisoners wore in the death camps.
We visited a few early Church historical accounts of martyrdom, how Christians back then agreed to display a token signal to tell those watching that God's grace was with them as they were burned at the stake. - From "Foxes Book of Martyrs," page 161, available here - download free.
The account of Thomas Haukes - martyr for Jesus.
"Thomas Haukes, with six others, was condemned on the ninth of February, 1555. In education he was erudite; in person, comely, and of good stature; in manners, a gentleman, and a sincere Christian. A little before death, several of Mr. Hauke's friends, terrified by the sharpness of the punishment he was going to suffer, privately desired that in the midst of the flames he should show them some token, whether the pains of burning were so great that a man might not collectedly endure it. This he promised to do; and it was agreed that if the rage of the pain might be suffered, then he should lift up his hands above his head towards heaven, before he gave up the ghost. Not long after, Mr. Haukes was led away to the place appointed for slaughter by Lord Rich, and being come to the stake, mildly and patiently prepared himself for the fire, having a strong chain cast about his middle, with a multitude of people on every side compassing him about, unto whom after he had spoken many things, and poured out his soul unto God, the fire was kindled. When he had continued long in it, and his speech was taken away by violence of the flame, his skin drawn together, and his fingers consumed with the fire, so that it was thought that he was gone, suddenly and contrary to all expectation, this good man being mindful of his promise, reached up his hands burning in flames over his head to the living God, and with great rejoicings as it seemed, struck or clapped them three times together. A great shout followed this wonderful circumstance, and then this blessed martyr of Christ, sinking down in the fire, gave up his spirit, June 10, 1555."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a historical artist's rendering of Thomas Haukes signaling that God's grace was with him as he burned at the stake. While burning, he lifted his melting hands with fingers missing and clapped three times. This is an incredible testimony that Jesus was with him as he perished. I wonder if he was able to see angels or Jesus when he got to this point of his fiery death? What ever he saw or was experiencing, it gave him strength. I believe that it was a martyrs anointing that God's Spirit gave to him to help him through to the end. Incredible!
Jesus said, I will NEVER leave you or forsake you. If the time ever comes that some of us may face martyrdom. Know this, Jesus will be at our side and see us through! Praise be to God!
The Russian defense company Admiralty Shipyards launched its second diesel-electric Varshavyanka-class submarine this week.
Called Krasnodar, the company claims that the vessel will be "the quietest submarine in the world," Zachary Keck reports for The National Interest.
Krasnodar is part of a plan to update Russia's submarine fleet. According to Russia Today, the submarine is the "second Varshavyanka submarine out of six planned for the Black Sea Fleet by the end of 2016."
The Varshavyanka-class is an update to Russia's current Kilo-class submarine. Although Varshavyanka-class submarines can not dive as deep or stay submerged underwater as long as nuclear submarines, they are nearly impossible to detect acoustically.

Primarily, the Varshavyanka-class submarines will be used for anti-shipping and anti-submarine warfare in shallower water. According to Naval Technology, the submarines can cruise for a range of 400 miles, can patrol for 45 days, and carry surface-to-air missiles and torpedoes.
The mixture of weaponry onboard the submarines allow the vessels to hypothetically strike both a mixture of land, sea, and underwater targets.
The first Varshavyanka-class submarine was launched in November 2013. Dubbed the Novorossiysk, the submarine is also based in the Black Sea.

In addition to the Varshavyanka-class, Russia plans on adding an additional 14 to 18 diesel-electric submarines similar to Lada-class subs over the next 15 years.
Russia also plans to replace its Delta III and Delta IV-class subs with Borei II submarines in the coming years. The Oscar II-class sub will be replaced with the entirely new Yasen submarine class after 2020.
