Rescue forces of the Pacific Fleet conducted exercises in the Sea of Japan to search for and evacuate a splashdown spacecraft. According to the exercise scenario, search and rescue support forces detected signals from the radio beacons of the spacecraft's landing module.
To survey the area, a naval aviation An-26 aircraft was deployed, which located the object and transmitted its exact coordinates to the rescue tug vessel "Fotiy Krylov."
Upon arrival in the designated area, a group of divers on a BL-680 high-speed boat installed an inflatable stabilizing platform on the landing module and towed it to the vessel. The capsule was then lifted onto the deck of the "Fotiy Krylov," where specialists from the medical service examined the crew of the simulated spacecraft.
In conclusion of the exercises, rescuers practiced evacuating astronauts using a non-landing method with a Mi-8 helicopter from the Far Eastern Aviation Search and Rescue Center of Rosaviatsia.
"Fotiy Krylov" is a large rescue tug named after the Soviet military commander Fotiy Ivanovich Krylov (1896–1948). The vessel is designed to rescue ships and vessels with serious malfunctions in the ship's system, as well as to tow large-tonnage vessels far out at sea.
The tug is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest and most powerful tug in the world. It is currently part of the Russian Pacific Fleet.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russian military adapted the RBU-6000 naval rocket launcher for ground use.
