BUENOS AIRES, November 27. /TASS/. Russian oceanographic research ship Yantar is expected to reach the area of search for the distressed Argentine submarine San Juan on December 5, Enrique Balbi, a spokesman for the Argentine Navy said on Monday.
"The Yantar vessel is likely to reach the search operation zone on December 5, as Russia said," he said, adding that the ship is carrying a submersible that can reach a depth of 6,000 meters.
According to Balbi, the Argentine Robinson corvette that is to deliver one of Russian submersibles to the search area cannot sail off due to strong wind. "As soon as it is loaded, the ship will be ready to sail off if weather is favorable," he said.
