In particular, during the third renovation, efforts were focused on strengthening the air transport capacity using large helicopters, making it possible to adequately transport people and supplies even when the Soya cannot approach the base due to worsening weather conditions.

New aircraft are included: one DHC-2 seaplane and two Sikorsky S-58 helicopters.
