The retrieval effort of wreckage, bodies and black boxes continues with ferry boats and harbor tugs and aircraft of the 11th army VVS PVO (Air Defense), although hampered by strong sea currents.
At 07.10 am with the help of sonar in the vicinity of Cape Sadinga north bay Silantyeva at a depth of 44 meters, an object was discovered that is presumed to be the lost plane. On the water surface items were visible which may be fragments of the plane shell. Rescue work continues.
