Deadline for Lifting Russian Nuke Submarine Kursk Unchanged
The deadline for raising the sunken Russian nuke submarine Kursk from the Barents Sea bed remains unchanged, Interfax cited sources on ship Mayo, the base for divers doing preparatory work for the salvage operation, as saying Saturday.
Journalists from leading Russian and foreign media groups made another helicopter flight to the Kursk's sinking site in the Barents Sea on Saturday.
A spokesman for a company commissioned to raise the Kursk said the actual lifting of the vessel would start, as scheduled, on September 15.
It would take a maximum of 12 hours, Vyacheslav Zakharov from the Mammoet company told a news conference in Moscow earlier this week.
