The latest work-rescue suit has passed final tests at the State Research Institute of Rescue and Diving Operations of the Russian Ministry of Defense. After testing in the fleet, it will be sent to all operational-strategic associations of the Russian Navy. This was reported in the press service of the department.
The overalls, sewn from materials of Russian production, were tested in the Research Institute's pool. Divers performed jumps from a height into the water, and also tested the suit for strength when suspended on a rescue hook.
Such special clothing was developed for the needs of the Navy for the first time. Prior to this, only individual life jackets were in service.
Advantages of the work-rescue suit:
- ease of putting on and wearing
- positive buoyancy (floats to the surface)
- protects against hypothermia in water for 1 hour
The development is intended for carrying out work on the upper deck of a ship, submarine or vessel in adverse weather conditions.
