With a film dedicated to her, taking her to the limits of legend, 105 or “Storm”, is the last submarine surviving the Soviet project 613 in Albania, abandoned by Moscow in our waters in 1961, after the collapse of relations her with Enver Hoxha.
The submarine that refuses to drown, has called AFP that it is interested in the fate of this stubborn vessel. Rusty and half submerged in water at the Pashaliman base, from where Russia once hoped to take control of the Mediterranean, it is waiting for authorities to decide what to do with it.
Captain Sabri Gjinollari: The Pashaliman base has always been of great importance due to its geostrategic position, as it is located at the entrance of the Otranto Canal, from where all maritime traffic can be controlled in the Adriatic Sea, but also in the central Mediterranean.
Captain Eduart Jeminaj: The Pashaliman military base was built in a joint operation with the Soviet Union, under the Warsaw Pact, to deploy submarines.
Neim Shehaj: This submarine is the 613C model built in the 1950s in the Soviet Union, at the time of friendship with the Soviet Union. The Soviets had stationed twelve submarines here. When they left, they took eight of them and four remained at the base.
This submarine is like a church to me, says Shehaj. I came here when I was young, and now my hair is bleached. According to him, if the submarine is not pulled out of the sea quickly, it risks sinking, taking with it its entire history.
