SOCHI, May 5 (RIA Novosti) – Airbus experts believe that radio
signals they have picked up were coming from flight recorders on
board an Armenian airliner that crashed Wednesday in the Black Sea,
an emergencies official said Friday.

“Experts from France confirmed that these were [signals from] radio
beacons [black boxes],” said Sergei Kudinov, the head of a regional
emergencies ministry center.

The ongoing recovery operation involves more than 700 rescue workers,
23 boats, deep-sea vehicles, a Be-200 amphibious aircraft and a
Ka-32 helicopter.

An experimental rescue boat, Katran, and a new Kalmar deep-sea search
vehicle are expected to arrive at the scene to help locate parts of
the wreckage and flight recorders.
