The vessel \"Igor Belousov\" moved to the submarine search area. Then the sailors used the uninhabited vehicle \"Panther\", which discovered \"Magadan\".

The submarine crew was supplied with air, technical fluids and electricity using the autonomous vehicle \"AS-40\". Then it docked to the coaming platform. The submariners boarded the autonomous vehicle and were taken to the rescue vessel.

An infirmary with medical equipment and a deep-sea diving complex GVK-450 \"Dolphin-GVK\" with five pressure chambers was set up there for them.
