MOSCOW, November 13.
/TASS/. /TASS/. Anti-submarine pilots have located and destroyed a submarine of
an 'enemy' off Russian Far Eastern Kamchatka's coast, official spokesman of the
Russian Pacific Fleet Captain 2nd Rank Nikolay Voskresensky said on Tuesday.
"In accordance
with the military exercise plan, two Il-38 aircraft were send to the area where
a submarine was allegedly located to perform tasks on anti-submarine combat.
They set up radio buoys in the area," Voskresensky said.
To complicate the
tasks for pilots, the submarine was instructed to attempt to flee if located.
However, when one buoy located it, the Il-38 pilots calculated the exact
coordinates and started following the submarine. After establishing the
submarine's route and speed, aircraft dropped anti-submarine bombs on it.
