Sgeulachd Cogaidh na h-Artaig: An Cogadh Fuar (Untold Arctic Wars: The Cold War)
Season 1 Episode 6 of 6
A new perspective on the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union embarked on a ruthless competition for technology and control of the Arctic region. Deep mistrust existed between the two sides. The Soviet Union threatened with neutron bombs and Nato deployed missiles in Europe. Soviet submarines infiltrated the territorial waters of Sweden and Finland - the former increases its readiness in the north, while Norway built bunkers. As Finland strengthened its air force and surveillance in Lapland, it seemed nuclear war was only a button-push away
