Some rather weird assumption. USSR was pretty reluctant to participate directly in local wars around. At most, USSR was willing to send air defense forces to aid some friendly nation - SAM crews and interceptor pilots - but under strict instructions to operate only as territorial defense, never crossing the receiver nations borders (or flying over sea) so if pilot get shot down, he could not be captured and used as proof of Soviet involvement.It's utterly unconceivable to think that USSR would "volunteer" a submarine crew (not merely a few technical specialists) to participate in local conflict, where USSR officially wasn't involved.
