Relying on Russian sources, ARKA News Agency reports that a underwater
apparatus PT1000 with a special manipulator will be used to lift from
the sea bottom the black boxes of the Armenian A320, which crashed
near Sochi. The apparatus was created at the Russian State Scientific
Center of Southern Sea Geology. The experts of the center said the
apparatus is an underwater robot with remote control.
Minister of Transport of Russia Igor Levitin announced several days
ago that the lifting of the black boxes will begin on May 16 and will
last for 2-3 days. “The rest depends on the weather.” The robot was
transferred to Sochi on May 15.
