Search operations for 14-year-old Amir Kunakunov, who went missing in the mountains, were carried out by foot groups. As Deputy Minister of Emergency Situations Almazbek Asanov explained, the decision not to involve a helicopter on November 8 was based on the agency's operational algorithm.
Search algorithm in mountainous terrain
According to the official's clarification, rescuers first work in accessible areas. The use of aviation is only provided for in cases where the search group encounters rocky terrain that is impossible to climb on foot.
"In the area where the last phone signal was located, it was possible to travel on foot. Therefore, rescuers searched there,"
A specialized mountain unit consisting of trained specialists is responsible for such operations in Ala-Archa. The search was conducted overnight from November 7 to November 8 and continued the following day.
