Experienced rescuers say that the experience of this rescue operation should be studied. Until now, we had to save people from precipices, and here a horizontal cave and a mass of complicating factors. In our country, too, there are similar caves, and tourists who go to them often do not have proper training. "Of course, such an experience needs to be studied, because such conditions are encountered quite often. On the territory of our country there are the same caves in which tourists like to walk, not always sufficiently prepared. Therefore, the experience is very valuable, very correct.

I think that EMERCOM of Russia will study it and use it if it is needed, "said Mikhail Faleev, Head of the Center for Strategic Studies of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia, Honored Rescuer of the Russian Federation.

The submarine was tested and filmed a training film. However, at the rescue headquarters, the mechanism was considered not suitable for this complex situation. And there was no time for its development. Mask left the device to Thai rescuers.
