British rescue minor "LR-5"

The British miniature submarine, designed for rescue operations at great depths, and its team are on the way to the place of Kursk’s disaster. Tonight she was immersed on a cargo ship in the Norwegian port of Thornheim. She is accompanied by 27 British rescuers. In addition to the boat on the ship, there is another rescue equipment, including a portable decompression camera. Experts say that the British minor LR -5, which the British call the “underwater helicopter” is the only deep -sea rescue vessel in the world that can establish a connection with a disaster by a submarine that is sucking on a soft ground at an acute angle in the area, where strong underwater currents dominate. The British minor is equipped with a surveillance system, equipment for clearing sediment and is able to take on board 16 members of the Kursk crew.
