выйти на связь I wanted to understand the logic of that expression. According to Google Translate, in english or french, it's means to get in touch, to establish or "enter" in contact with someone, but the russian prefix вы indicates a kind of "getting out" idea. It's rather counter-intuitive for me, so how could you explain the use of выйти instead of a verb with the prefix вo/в that indicate a "get in" idea. Thanks.

That's deep! But you would not look for meaning where there is none. It's a stable expression. Just try to memorize that.

Выйти на связь usually implies establishing a contact for the first time or after a long period of silence, or overcoming some difficulties in order to get in touch. Судно вышло на связь с портом - the ship (has finally) got in touch with the port. If the contact is habitual, we would normally use связаться: судно связалось с портом - the ship contacted the port (as they did before). To use связаться in the former meaning, add some detail (e.g. судно наконец связалось с портом).

En plus, on peut imaginer que la communication comme ça existe en form des séances. La plus part du temps les partis gardent le silence. D'après l'horaire ils se connectent. Pour ça, on doit « sortir de silence » (quiter la silence). Compares: sortir sur les écrans / à l'écran.
