In the Gulf of Peter the Great, a planned exercise of the search and rescue squad of the Pacific Fleet (PF) took place, during which the crew of the AS-40 deep-diving submersible completed actions to provide assistance to an emergency submarine lying on the ground, says press center of RF Defence Ministry.

The work was provided by the crew of the rescue vessel Georgy Kozmin. The event was held in a special maritime training ground, where at a depth of about 60 meters, a mock-up of the coamings deck of a conventional submarine lying on the ground was fixed at the bottom.
