In St. Petersburg, the repair of the deep-sea vehicle "AS-28" of the Black Sea Fleet has been completed

At the "Kanonersky ship-repairing plant" in St. Petersburg, scheduled repairs and modernization of the AS-28 deep-sea rescue vehicle from the Black Sea fleet... This is reported by the Ministry of Defense.

In St. Petersburg, at the Kanonersky shipyard, scheduled repairs and modernization of the AS-28 deep-sea rescue vehicle, designed to provide assistance to emergency submarines lying on the ground at depths of up to 1 meters, and rescue submariners, have been completed

- said in a statement.

The completion of the repair and modernization of the deep-sea rescue vehicle and the readiness of its transportation to Sevastopol was reported to the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov.

It is reported that during the repair and modernization of the device, a number of on-board systems were updated, including radio equipment. Before being handed over to the customer, the device passed all stages of testing in the Baltic Sea.

Underwater vehicles of project 1855 "Prize" were built at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant according to the design of the Nizhny Novgorod Central Design Bureau "Lazurit". The vehicle is 13,5 m long, 3,8 m wide, and 5,7 m high. The crew of four can take on board up to 20 survivors. The autonomy of the life support of the apparatus is 120 hours, with the rescued - 10 hours. It is delivered to the dive site by a carrier ship, but is capable of independently moving at a distance of up to 39 km. Designed for use at depths of up to 1000 m.

The main task of the apparatus is to rescue crews from emergency submarines by docking to emergency exits of submarines.

I have never heard that they would actually dock with a boat for exercises and make the transition of people from the boat to the rescue apparatus. Maybe someone knows? Has this ever happened?

The site has a member of the Crew of the Rescue Ship Commune, by the way the oldest ship of the Russian Navy (the carrier of this apparatus) - this is a question for him! Docking took place regularly, I don't know if the crew crossed over during these docks.

"Igor Belousov" periodically conducts exercises on docking and transfer to the rescue vehicle. For the first time this was done, if memory serves, in the Baltic, the year 15-16, only there they limited themselves to docking and handing over the presents, and the personnel were not given.

This happens regularly, from year to year in exercises. This year the crew of the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was "rescued", and last year they conducted exercises with Vietnam and China.

Similar exercises for the withdrawal of submariners by dry method using underwater vehicles are held annually, although in recent years not in all fleets, but are carried out with the involvement of specialists from all fleets. In Soviet times, similar exercises were carried out in each fleet several times a year (at least 2 times). The main drawback in the Navy is the absence on the fleets (except for the Pacific Fleet) of integrated carriers (rescue vessels) capable of receiving and carrying out medical decompression of rescued submariners. Indeed, on an emergency submarine, as a rule, submariners are under increased pressure for a long time, and if the rescued submariners are not treated in barocomplexes, they will die already on the surface from the boiling of blood in the vessels. (ACC specialists, sorry for the primitive explanations, it's clearer for non-specialists and physiologists)

There were and are such devices, since the times of the USSR .. But after the collapse, this direction was abandoned and the nuclear submarine "Kursk" could not be saved .. Because everything turned into junk then ..

Once a year they hold, I somehow even supplied air to the boat from the ship)))

Good news! A wish for both the Deep-Sea Vehicle and its Crew - to work out only training tasks.

I join! God grant that only teachings were ...

[Alexander X]

Such news can only be good news. But it’s better to dock with the submarine, this device needed only during exercises.

[AshPoseidon]

It is very good. But the carrier ships need to be updated. In the black sea fleet
there is the oldest ship of the Russian Navy "Kommuna", which is still in operation. It was launched for the Imperial Navy. Well done, exercises are being conducted. The last one was in September 2019. The role of the "emergency" submarine was played by the submarine "Kolpino", which sank to the bottom to a depth of 50 m.

Seven feet under the keel!

And what about "Losharik" heard, restored? Or how ..

[Pechkin]

The renovation was postponed until 2021, so for now, alas.

Looks like serious damage .. The crew fought to the last with a fire ..
We remember, we honor, we won't forget

"Losharik" is a deep-water station intended for deep-sea research and can only be involved in the rescue of submarine crews for their survey.

"Losharik" is a deep-sea submarine with devices on board ..

Something so official ..
