In Kamchatka, the Russian Geographical Society expedition began lifting an American aircraft in 1945

The expedition of the Russian Geographical Society (RGS) in the Kamchatka Territory began to lift an American aircraft from the bottom of the lake, which participated in the Kuril landing operation of Soviet troops against Japan in 1945. Roman Dunaev, the head of the Russian Underwater Research Expedition, told Izvestia about this on September 8.

He noted the teamwork of the team that lifted the tail of this aircraft in two days.

"During these two days, we managed to detach the tail, <...> raise it. Then he was pulled up into shallow water, <...> slings were attached to it, and the lowest depth was selected. A trained man was standing in waist—deep water, a helicopter with an external sling flew up to him, he strapped it, gave the command to the pilots - and you saw that the tail of the plane, almost 80 years ago, soared into the sky. This is a very touching moment," Dunaev said.

It is noted that this was an important event for Russia.

"It is very important that we remember those events. The aircraft participated in combat duty during the Kuril landing operation. We recently celebrated the 80th anniversary of this exhibition...> operations," said Alexander Klemberg, a specialist at the expeditionary center of the Russian Ministry of Defense and head of the expedition.

Earlier, on July 15, an expedition of the Russian Geographical Society headed to Lake Issyk-Kul in order to uncover the mystery of the city flooded in the Middle Ages. The city was flooded in the 15th century as a result of an earthquake. After the incident, researchers continue to find fragments of human remains. During the exploration of the territory, one of the scientists was able to find a part of a human humerus.
