The expedition is part of a project for localization and investigation of the Soviet submarines sunken near the Bulagrain Black sea coastline during the World War II.

According to the preliminary conclusions of the team the sub found suffered heavy damage caused by the Romanian S-15 mine fence, installed by the vessel "Murgesku", or by a Bulgarian mine fence made by German UMA anti-submarine mines.
