The search operations are concentrated in the vicinity of a strategically important object — the Souda Bay naval base, which is considered a joint base for NATO forces and the Greek Navy on the island of Crete.
Radio-hydroacoustic buoys of models AN/SSQ-53F, AN/SSQ-62 and AN/SSQ-125, the total number of which in transport and launch systems can reach 120 units, can be used for the search.
Submarines of Project 636 "Varshavyanka" (according to NATO codification — Improved Kilo) are a type of multi-purpose diesel-electric submarines. Originally developed as an export version, they are in service with China, Algeria, Vietnam and Russia.
