So one DSRV with the mother ship MV Sabarmati(will reach in a week or so)
and one air transported to Indonesia(by tomorrow)
The DSRV can operate upto 1000m, so theoretically she can help even if the KRI Nanggala is resting at 600-700m.
Prayers with the first responders and hoping for a miracle...
Eyes of the fleet:
Great shot, seeing as the contra rotating main rotors are nicely lined up
And the future "Flying Frigates"

The Indian Navy Shishumar class boats have a Submarine escape sphere that can accommodate the full complement of the vessel with an 8hour oxygen supply

The IKL designed rescue sphere unique to the 1500s
Hopefully 402 got something similar during her refit some...

Very interesting IAF Il-78MKI in Zhukovsky(Apr 2021 capture)
Probably getting overhauled but looks real nice.
No Fuel Transfer Pods mounted too which is very rare to see.
Superb lineup
