Objectives:
1: Obtain Military Intelligence on Belgium
2: Obtain Military Intelligence on Norway
3: Infiltrate Belgium and assess military capability

Belligerents:

Russian Federation

Kingdom of Norway
Republic of Belgium

Operation Begin:

A single Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) of the 3rd Recon Squadron would be fueled to maximum for it's full 6,500 km range. It's film stock would be replenished and it's crew prepped on the mission and equipped. They would wear standard uniforms and each take with them a single ration with a menu option of their choice. One the aircraft had gone through a safety check the crew of said aircraft would board it, strap in, and then taxi to the run way.

The aircraft would take off and ascend to 30,000 ft at 333 mph before going to Olenya air base where it would slow down to it's minimum speed and then land. After that it would taxi to a parking spot and be topped off by ground crew. Once the fuel was back at maximum the aircraft would taxi to the runway and take off again and fly up to 30,000 ft at 333 mph.

Once out over the water it would descend to 25,000 ft and slow to a speed of 260 mph before then hugging the Norwegian territory out at 12 NM or 22.2 KM out. Once at the start the aircraft would switch on it's ELINT [Kvadrat-2], SLAR [Igla-1], SRS-5 Vishnya, Weather Radar, and SRS-7 Romb-4B. The SLAR could see 51.9 KM of the Norwegian land wile being 22.2 KM out due to it's 74.1 KM range. The COMIT and ELINT systems having a range of 926 KM.

The path being taken by the Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) is KO, KP, KQ, JQ, JP, JO.

Meanwhile 54 Naval Spetsnaz would board the nine Losos-class submarines at Baltyysk Naval Base. Each took with them a wet suit, flippers, scuba compass, normal compass, and a fully charged IDA71 military and naval rebreather. For weapons they took AS Val assault rifles with eight twenty round magazines each loaded with subsonic ammunition. For a sidearm they took a SPP-1 underwater pistol with six loaded magazines of their specialized ammunition. The Losos-class submarines sailors would each just wear standard uniforms with their service Makarov pistols with two magazines. Each submarine was equipped with 30 days of rations for the nine men each would have to carry. The Frog Men would carry a week's worth of rations for when they got onto land.

The Frog Men also put in individual dry bags KLMK reversible coveralls, 1PN58 night vision scopes, 1PN50 night vision binoculars, 4 canteens (each), and lifchik chest rigs. One of the six would each have a single RPG-18 (collapsed). They also had a map of Belgium roads in a water proof bag. A single Zenit Fotosnaiper with two sets of film would be in the water proof bag. Also a Belgium phrase book would be added and encrypted two way radios. The Losos class submarines would have max fuel.

The Berezina-Class Replenishment Ship would be fully fueled and crewed with max fuel reserves and would be joining the the submarines. Once all ships were ready the Berezina-Class Replenishment Ship would depart first followed in a line by the nine Losos class submarines. Each vessel having 1 mile of distance between them to prevent them from crashing into one another. They would also avoid obstacles like land or bridge supports.

The route taken would be KO, JO.

The ten vessels would maintain a speed of 4kts so they would not be left behind by the larger replenishment ship. The submarines would also stay surfaced in the meantime. They would stick to international waters passing through the Zealand strait and going under the bridge. At 682 miles at 57°48'02.9"N 9°16'19.3"E the vessels would come to a halt and the Berezina-Class Replenishment ship would refuel the Losos-class submarines one at a time. At52°45'46.5"N 3°11'05.4"E they would be refueled again one at a time once more. However, here the submarines would submerge down to a depth of 180 feet and avoiding skimming the bottom as they approached the Belgium coast. Their underwater speed was now 4kts submerged while the Berezina-Class Replenishment ship stayed behind and waited.

'Abrau Sprat' Losos-class submarine, 'Baltic Sculpan' Losos-class submarine, and 'Zander' Losos-class submarine would head for Port of Antwerp but pause a mile out. 'Caspian Kutum' Losos-class submarine and 'Amur Sturgeon' Losos-class submarine would go to Port of Zeebrugge but pause a mile out. 'Vobla' Losos-class submarine and 'Kaluga' Losos-class submarine would go to the Port of Ghent but pause a mile out. 'Nelma' Losos-class submarine and 'Sheatfish' Losos-class submarine would go to the Port of Ostend but pause a mile out. They were going to wait for the stroke of midnight.

Secret

The Russian aircraft was spotted by a retired Norwegian Air Force pilot who was flying an airplane that was over the ocean in the Norwegian Sea which originated from Flypassen Vardø. He reported it to Air Traffic Control on a secure channel, along with its location and the direction it was heading so that the Air Force could properly intercept him. Royal Air Force officials quickly informed the appropriate officials at Rygge Air Station through secure channels. The general alarm at the air station was sounded in Crew Area 1 to alert the pilots that they were being scrambled.

Three loud blurts throughout the localized intercom system at the base were followed by, "SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE. Pilots, man your planes... SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE. Pilots, man your planes."

The F-16 pilots rushed out of their recreation areas and to put on their flight gear, including a sidearm and ammunition, and then to one of the hangers where their jets were awaiting them.

Two F-16 C/D 50/52s were quickly inspected, fully fueled, equipped with two fueled CFTs and the appropriate number of flares in the dispenser pod, and armed with the following (each): 20 mm cannon with 511 rounds; 4x AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles; 2x Python-4 missiles.

Once the pilots were inside their jets and all of the above was ready to go, they individually deployed from the airbase and flew in formation. The F-16s flew just below Mach 1 to avoid breaking the sound barrier. While in flight, they were given constant secure updates of the location of the aircraft and where it was flying. It became obvious quickly that it was flying along the coast. The F-16s flew in a pattern so that, at their current speed, they would intercept the aircraft somewhere in KQ. The Royal Air Force quickly informed the Swedish Air Force that the F-16s would be flying through their airspace to intercept an unidentified aircraft. The Swedes were invited to provide assistance if they wished.

Once the F-16s were within radar range of the Russian aircraft they continued to approach it until they were each side by side of the aircraft (with a very safe distance, of course. The point was to have the pilots see each other, and also to interrupt any kind of surveillance).
They would contact them on the appropriate frequency as they approached, "Unidentified aircraft, this is the Norwegian Royal Air Force. Your are encroaching on Norwegian airspace. State your intentions."

Meanwhile, four more F-16s with the exact same specifications were also deployed from Rygge Air Station individually. They flew at 30,000 feet at the cruising speed of 577mph and landed at Bodo Air Station where they refueled and awaited further orders.

Permitted Edit: The approximate location of interception would be: 70.960876, 21.615637

Saab JAS 39B Gripen​

TOP SECRET
Expedited Deployment
Immediately upon receiving intelligence from the Kingdom of Norway the Swedish Air Force are similarly issued a scramble alert, moving into action one of many Rapid Reaction Squadron's stationed around the nation. This was the first, real and credible threat to the integrity of the Swedish air network and as such was treated with the utmost seriousness. In addition, it was no secret that Sweden was absolutely committed to ensuring the safety and security of the Kingdom of Norway equally to that of it's own borders and as such there was zero hesitation as to the deployment of the Swedish Air Force.

A scramble order echos loud and proud across Luleå Air Base whilst operational personnel begin tracking the Norwegian deployment across Swedish air space.
"SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE"

Airmen of the Norrbotten Air Force Wing, 1st Rapid Reaction Squadron, 1st Rapid Reaction Flight immediately dart from their current commitments and dive into their dedicated lockers to equip themselves with their flight suits and appropriate encrypted communications equipment. Meanwhile, this prompts the ground crew to begin preparation of the six Saab JAS 39B Gripen's that sit within the flight, ensuring that by the time the airmen reached their respective aircraft it was ready for pre-flight checks and immediate deployment. The air frame of each aircraft is independently fitted with six AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and a single AIM-120 AMRAAM. Any ammunition that did not fit on the aircraft were kept aside prior to countermeasures being installed. All aircraft remain fully fuelled on the tarmac in the event of deployment.

The siren in the hangars was almost deafening however made the seriousness of the incident overwhelmingly obvious. Once within the cockpit the pilots moved to the appropriate runway and deployed without delay. The Norwegian Royal Air Force were immediately made aware of this. Luleå Air Base was not far whatsoever from KQ and as such the travel time was minimal especially with the aircraft blasting through the air in order to join their Norwegian colleagues. Upon arrival the Swedish would remain in V-style formation some way behind the aircraft however well within range for missiles to reach the fuselage, this was primarily a show of force whilst the Norwegian Royal Air Force dealt with the interception.

The Norwegian Royal Air Force are notified that the aircraft trailing are in-fact Swedish and not hostile. Throughout interception the airmen would feed information to the military control tower via encrypted channels.

Thanks to the SRS-5 Vishnya COMINT station on the Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) the aircraft would be able to detect the secure transmissions from the aircraft, to the ATC, and then the ATC to Rygge Air Station and then Rygge Air Station to the F-16 C/D 50/52s. Monitoring the transmissions specifically due to the suddenness of them they would be recorded do be decrypted at a later point. With the F-16s receiving constant secure transmissions they were able to determine the origin of the transmission which would at a later point be revealed to be Rygge Air Station.

The two ELINT stations on the aircraft would be able to detect the F-16s within moments of their launching. The Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) being able to pick up on their radars well before the F-16s could get a lock on them. This is because the ELINT and COMINT systems on the Il-20 have a range of 926km. The combined use of the ELINT and COMINT systems meant that they were able to determine aircraft of some type had been launched and were receiving constant updates.

The aircraft would also pick up on signals coming from Luleå Air Base using COMINT much the same as with the Norwegian Rygge Air Station. With the Saab JAS 39B, Gripens feeding information back the aircraft with COMINT and ELINT systems would be able to track the Swedish aircraft as they approached. One ELINT station was dedicated to the Swedes while the other dedicated to the Norwegians.

The Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) would slow down to 255 mph and begin relaying this information it was coming across back to both Alakurtti airbase and Afrikanda airbase. The 1st Alakurtti Air Superiority Squadron and 1st Afrikanda Interceptor Squadron would scramble 15 MiG-29M and 15 MiG-31M. These far northern air regiments being updated on the number of Swedish and Norwegian aircraft in the air. The 45 in total pilots being briefed on the situation as their aircraft was equipped.

The 15 MiG-31M Interceptors would be armed with four R-40RD1, four R-60M, and one 23 mm Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-23M rotary cannon with 800 rounds. The MiG-31M Interceptors would be fueled to maximum by the ground crew. The MiG-31 Pilots would dawn their flight gear including side arms and ammunition before rushing into their cockpits.

The 15 MiG-29M air superiority fighters would be armed with four R-73E, three R-27R, and a 30 mm Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 autocannon with 150 rounds. The MiG-29M fighters would be fueled to the max by the ground crew. The pilots would dawn their flight gear and take with them their sidearms with ammunition. Then leaping into their cockpits.

At Afrikanda airbase the MiG-31M interceptors would taxi one at a time to the runway after latching their canopy closed and locked into place with the pilots strapped into their seats. Taking off they would scramble to 59,055 ft before getting into a wedge formation with four miles between each aircraft. They would go to their cruise speed of Mach 2.35. They would move to escort the Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) as it was in KQ. Their radars would be on with a range of 314 km.

At Alakurtti airbase the MiG-29M air superiority fighters would taxi one at a time to the runway after latching their canopy closed and locked into place with the pilots strapped into their seats. Taking off they would scramble to an altitude of 52,000 ft before getting into a wedge formation with four miles between aircraft. They would then move to a cruise speed of Mach 1.21 where they would then move to escort the Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) at KQ.

Both the MiG-31Ms and MiG-29Ms would go from KP to KQ. The fighters would also avoid passing over Swedish, Finish, or Norwegian territory.

The Ilyushin IL-20 (Coot-A) upon being intercepted would continue on its course and its pilot would soon reply."This is an Il-20 of the Russian Airforce. The Russian Federation does not recognize this as Norwegian Airspace. At this moment we are 12 nautical miles and thus are in international airspace."

OSLOFJORD, KINGDOM OF NORWAY
Information: Departure Immediate



____________________DESTINATION #1____________________


Skagerrak
58°48'13.5"N 10°16'10.9"E



Because the Minister of Defense was in Sweden, the Chief of Defense took it upon himself to exercise his legal authority to defend Norway. Once the other 15 MiGs were detected on radar, the High Command determined that this appeared to be a possible credible attack on Norway, or the Scandinavian countries as a whole. The Chief of Defense raised Norway's Defense Status from "Elevated" to "Critical". This was the highest status of military alert that the Norwegian Armed Forces had. All Royal Navy vessels were ordered to mobilize and prepare for immediate deployment, all Royal Air Force fighter aircraft were put on standby, and the ground forces of the Army and the King's Guard were mobilized outside of Oslo and prepared for conflict. The ships specifically noted in this list were deployed from Oslofjord into Skagerrak, and were set to General Quarters. They were securely informed that there were a number of incoming Russian bogies. The commander of the North Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Blix, was given command and control of the fleet. Vice Admiral Blix ordered a 10 nautical miles air exclusion zone be declared around the fleet itself. This was relayed to Norwegian Air Traffic Control and spread throughout the country so that civilian and military aircraft would know to avoid the exclusion zone. This information was also relayed specifically to the Russian aircraft. The Prime Minister and Council of State were taken to secure locations in and around Oslo, and the Royal Family went into the basement of the Palace in Oslo. Air raid sirens sounded at Rygge Air Station as the remaining wings of F-16s prepared for deployment. They were armed and prepared as the other F-16s were.

The Russian aircraft were given specific coordinates to avoid, as well as the exact area of the exclusion zone which was the airspace over the Norwegian fleet. The vessels remained at full speed, and were essentially staying in the same area while staying at a safe distance from each other and preparing to take evasive maneuvers. The Russian spy aircraft would possibly be able to detect the fire control systems in the North Sea Fleet going live while they passively and actively searched with their radar for any threats. The two Norwegian F-16s landed at the nearest airbase to refuel while four F-16s that were staged at Bodo Air Station (who had refueled and were of course armed and equipped as before) were deployed and continued to guide the Russian spy aircraft at the appropriate speed and altitude. The hundreds of NASAMS systems around Oslo also came online; they were armed with AIM-120C-7 missiles.

Finally, the ambassadors to Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the United States privately informed the governments of their respective countries that the Russians were beginning a possible attack the Scandinavian countries; and that a large number of armed MiGs were flying off the Norwegian coast at the moment.​

Saab JAS 39B Gripen​

TOP SECRET
Airspace Management
With the situation escalating rapidly the Swedish Air Force would begin a defensive manoeuvres especially with the rapid approach of thirty Russian aircraft towards their current position. Are instructed to peel off from behind the Norwegian fighters and the Russian intelligence aircraft and instead secure containment around the Russian fighters which were presumably flying information. At the head of 1st Rapid Reaction Flight the pilot begins communications across all public air traffic control channels targeted at the fighter aircraft surrounding their position.

"Unidentified Aircraft, this is the Swedish Air Force, you are approaching controlled Nordic airspace; state your intentions immediately, over."

The 1st Rapid Reaction Flight Saab JAS 39B Gripen were sophisticated aircraft and networked capabilities allowed the flight to operate as a single component with data and information being automatically exchanged in real time between all aircraft in the flight, as well as ground facilities. The networking capability in this aircraft was the worlds most highly developed data link. The all-weather radars within the Gripens allowed the tracking of all targets within 120km which obviously enabled easy and carefully tracking from a considerable distance away from the initial interception. Radars are constantly monitored whilst the Swedish Air Force on the ground begin the next phase of their response should nothing be heard from the Russians.

Airmen of the Norrbotten Air Force Wing, 1st Rapid Reaction Squadron, 2nd Rapid Reaction Flight are called to an emergency briefing, speakers throughout the base echo with the commanding officers voice, summoning them. Naturally the base were aware of the initial deployment and the summoning of a second flight immediately struck concern into the hearts of the airmen, why are they required for a simple interception? Meanwhile, this prompts the ground crew to begin preparation of the further six Saab JAS 39B Gripen's that sit within the flight, ensuring that by the time the airmen reached their respective aircraft it was ready for pre-flight checks and immediate deployment. The air frame of each aircraft is independently fitted with six AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and a single AIM-120 AMRAAM. Any ammunition that did not fit on the aircraft were kept aside prior to countermeasures being installed. All aircraft remain fully fuelled on the tarmac in the event of deployment and external checklists begin.

Meanwhile, despite no signatures on the Stockholm Treaty and the Nordic Council still very much under development, the Swedish Government were committed to the protection of the Nordic region and begin preparations in the event of an invasion as described by the Norwegians. This involved a multi-branch response. Senior officials within the government are separated around the country as a precautionary measure.

Four Luftvärnskanonvagn 90 are immediately deployed to northern Sweden and upon arrival are stationed in and around Luleå Air Base. In addition, to protect the border, four MIM-104B Patriot "PAC-1" vehicles are also directed to northern Sweden along the border, these with a much more effective missile range of 70km are more than capable of defending Swedish air space. To ensure their arrival was prompt they are given an impromptu police escort to the towns of Merkenes, Vaisalouokta, Abisko and Lannavaara where they would set up in line with manufacturers direction and armed with the appropriate PAC-1 missiles.

Upon being given the coordinates to avoid it was decided not to push the Norwegians on this as this portion of their mission was secondary."Acknowledged. We will avoid those coordinates." the IL-20 (Coot-A) would make an adjustment to it's flight path to avoid the given coordinates by two entire miles. They had gotten a lot of useful information already out of this portion of the mission anyhow.

Meanwhile the MiGs which were being approached by the Swedish aircraft would detect them bot thanks to help from the Il-20 and their own radars. In response to this attempt to surround and intercept them the MiGs would increase altitude. The MiG-29Ms going to their service ceiling of 52,000 ft while the MiG-31s went to an altitude of 65,000 ft. This was to maintain an energy advantage."Intentions are to escort the Il-20 in international airspace. The Russian Federation does not recognize this current airspace as belonging to either Norway or Sweden." the response was swift. Though the MiG-31s were reaching the end of their combat radius at this point and had to turn around and head back the way they came. The MiG-29s in the same boat would also turn around shortly after. The MiG-29ms would return and land at Alakurtti air base in a safe and orderly fashion while the MiG-31s would return to Afrikanda air base in a safe and orderly fashion.

The Naval Spetsnaz from 'Abrau Sprat' Losos-class submarine, 'Baltic Sculpan' Losos-class submarine, and 'Zander' Losos-class submarine from 51.366678, 3.349596 would walk towards Lekkerbek in Knokke-Heist as their original target was too far of a walk for a single night. At around 51.366678, 3.349596 they would set up camp in the foliage and start taking photos of the nearby buildings. Looking specifically for military or police activity as they hid in the dark and brush. They scanned their surroundings with night vision equipment as well.

The Naval Spetsnaz of the 'Caspian Kutum' Losos-class submarine and 'Amur Sturgeon' Losos-class submarine would from 51°19'34.9"N 3°09'45.8"E make their way to 51°20'51.5"N 3°12'10.2"E so that they may see all the ships in the port. They would along the way avoid vehicles only moving when they had passed and stayed in dark areas or only sprinted through lit areas. Moving between buildings in a tactical way and keeping an eye out for people. They were extra careful not to make themselves obvious, not staying in the open for very long. Moving one at a time until they had made it to their point. Once there they would use night vision equipment to see what was currently in the port and try to take pictures. As they did this one at a time they would put their scuba gear back on so they could swim out through the mouth of the port if neccesary.

The Naval Spetsnaz from 'Vobla' Losos-class submarine and 'Kaluga' Losos-class submarine would from 51°14'25.0"N 2°55'57.7"E move up to Fort Napoleon crossing the street only when they did not see any oncoming cars. Once up close they would survey the site to see if it was in use and survey the surrounding area making sure to stay under cover and out of sight.

The Naval Spetsnaz from 'Nelma' Losos-class submarine and 'Sheatfish' Losos-class submarine would from 51°13'39.7"N 2°53'47.4"E make their way down the beach to 51°14'26.5"N 2°54'57.6"E where they could look down and into the port and identify what ships were there. However on the way they were quick to move and would halt in the darkness should they spot anyone passing by. They also made sure no one was out there before moving in as well. Once there they would start switching into their scuba equipment again just incase they needed to make a hasty escape.

The F-16s continued to escort the Russian surveillance aircraft at a safe distance, but in a way that would likely interfere with any long-distance surveillance. As the aircraft avoided flying over the Norwegian fleet outside of Oslofjord, and would continue to stay out of Norwegian airspace, it was interpreted that the chance of a physical conflict had gone down dramatically. The F-16s would switch out with two more F-16s from the now nearby Rygge Air Station (they were of course armed, manned, equipped, and fueled as previously described; and would maintain the appropriate airspeed and altitude). The North Sea Fleet remained at General Quarters as the aircraft continued to fly in the area. Regular, secure updates were given to the Swedish Air Force via a secure radio transmission from Oslo to the the office of the Secretary of Defense in Sweden. The Norwegian Armed Forces remained on high alert until it was clear that the Russian exercise was over.

The Ilyushin IL-20M (Coot-A) would continue along it's designated path of KO, KP, KQ, JQ, JP, JO outside of Norwegian airspace and outside of the exclusion zone of the Norwegian ships. Once around those ships it would continue 12 nautical miles out being outside of Norwegian airspace. All along the way due to the Norwegian F-16s not being equipped with equipment to block COMIT and ELINT they would be free to monitor and record signals encrypted or not. Hence they would be able to pick up on the signal from the Norwegians to the Swedish along the way. Eventually however at JO the aircraft would be flying away from Norwegian airspace entirely, heading South. The goal being to sit 12 nautical miles out from the Belgian coast and scan it from international airspace before then turning around and then taking the route of JO to KO home. At this point all of the MiGs would of returned to Alakurtti air base and Afrikanda air base where the pilots would be debriefed and aircraft put into their hangers.

TOP SECRET
Dominance
The deployed Swedish Air Force; Norrbotten Air Force Wing, 1st Rapid Reaction Squadron, 1st Rapid Reaction Flight continue to follow the Russian deployment throughout their time in the Nordic region before peeling off as they head towards continental Europe. Throughout the interception period the on-board flight crew would have taken extensive photographs of the Russian deployment alongside keeping record of the amount of aircraft, type, deployment period and communications exchanged. This information will be used to better defend the Nordic region in the future, should this situation occur again. Throughout the flight the crew would be overly conscious of their fuel levels, ensuring they did not remain in the air any longer than possible.

Once out of sight and out of mind the Norrbotten Air Force Wing, 1st Rapid Reaction Squadron, 1st Rapid Reaction Flight return to base.

Once landed safely the aircraft would be de-crewed, refuelled and prepared for future rapid deployment. All intelligence is passed to the Swedish Security and Intelligence Service

The Norwegian fighters also escorted the Russian aircraft away from Scandinavia, making sure to refuel when necessary. All necessary information was passed along to the government, and to Swedish officials. I can't be bothered to make the word count because I'm so tired, so here we go.
The following are the first two articles from the Norwegian constitution:
1. The Kingdom of Norway is a free, independent, indivisible and inalienable Realm. Its form of government is a limited and hereditary monarchy.
2. Our values will remain our Christian and humanistic heritage. This Constitution shall ensure democracy, a state based on the rule of law and human rights.

The Ilyushin IL-20M (Coot-A) would fly along the Belgian coast 12 nautical miles out and thus outside of their airspace. Following their airspace they would be able to get a a side looking radar scan of 51.9 KM of Belgian territory from their path. They would be able to use COMIT and ELINT systems having a range of 926 KM on detecting signals both radar and communications. After that the aircraft would turn around and take a path of JO to KO home. The aircraft would land at Kaliningrad Chkalovsk the closest airbase to where it is. It would land there safely and then taxi to a parking zone for refueling. Upon parking it would be refueled.

After the Coot-A had completed it's sweep the Naval Spetsnaz would pack up putting their Scuba gear back on and returning to where they had landed. Making sure to go unseen they would sneak back to the beach avoiding being in the open too long. From there each group would swim back to their submarine of origin. The submarines being 'Abrau Sprat' Losos-class submarine, 'Baltic Sculpan' Losos-class submarine, 'Zander' Losos-class submarine, 'Caspian Kutum' Losos-class submarine, 'Amur Sturgeon' Losos-class submarine, 'Vobla' Losos-class submarine, 'Kaluga' Losos-class submarine, 'Nelma' Losos-class submarine, and 'Sheatfish' Losos-class submarine. From there they would enter through the airlock equipment and get settled in for the journey home.
