The search for the aircraft began in 2009, when the search engines found information about the incident on November 27, 1941 in the documents of the Central Naval Archive. Then, due to a sharp deterioration in weather conditions, the airfield of the DB-3 No. 392210 airfield with the M-87A No. 1858 and 181 engines did not return to the airfield. The flight of the aircraft was led by Nikolai Yasyrev, the senior lieutenant. There were also a navigator, senior lieutenant-Sergey Zorin, a radio operator-Shashkov and shooter Usenko.

The search engines did not find the remains of the crew - they believe that hunters could buried them or at the time of the body of the body could discard 50 meters.

Fragments of parachute systems, a button from marine shape, belts buckle and a fragment of the M-87 engine with a factory number were found on the spot. Thus, it was possible to identify the bomber.

In the near future, at the site of the disaster, search engines organize a large expedition to clean the territory of the breakdown of the Oblomes as much as possible and try to find the remains of the crew members.
