The crew of the small anti-submarine ship (MPK) "Yunga" (project 1124M) took part in search and rescue exercises of the Northern Fleet. During the maneuvers, 9 scenarios were played out, the fleet's press service reported.
The practical part of the rescue exercise took place at the training ground of the Motovsky Bay.
According to the exercise plan, the Northern Fleet headquarters received a distress signal from a submarine. The military personnel organized a search and rescue point.
The first to arrive at the "emergency site" in the Barents Sea was an Il-38 aircraft. Its crew dropped a light-signal buoy. The vessel "Georgy Titov" (05361), the tugboat "Pamir" (project 1452), the base minesweeper "Kolomna" (project 12650), the hydrographic boat "Leonid Senchura" (project 23040G), the diving boat RVK-1229 "Ivan Shvets" (project 23040) and other ships of the Northern Fleet were involved in the rescue operation.
The Ka-27M helicopter used a magnetometer to search for a conditionally sunken submarine. Some of the sailors were rescued by a rotary-wing machine, the rest - with the help of the MPK "Yunga".
In addition, the North Sea sailors practiced providing assistance to an "emergency" vessel that was damaged by a UAV strike. They extinguished a conditional fire in the bow of the ship and towed it to shelter.
