During a massive missile attack on Ukraine on July 8, the Russian frigate Makarov left the base in Novorossiysk, quickly fired back and returned to the harbor.
This was stated by the speaker of the Ukrainian Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air of the One News telethon, talking about how many combat-ready launch vehicles the Russian Federation has left.

— They use them periodically. There are eight combat-ready units in the Black Sea area, of which three — These are submarines of the Varshavyanka 636 project. Two of them go to sea and one has been in port for quite some time, — he emphasized.

Pletenchuk says that it is still difficult to name the reasons — she may be under maintenance.
— Three more — these are small missile ships of the Buyan-M project and two frigates — Essen and Makarov. It was Makarov who shot back yesterday during a massive attack. Left the base in Novorossiysk, without going out into the open sea, fired back and immediately returned to base, — the Navy speaker clarified.
That is, the enemy’s tactics, as Pletenchuk noted, is to leave the base, fire a salvo and quickly return, since he understands that being in the Black Sea is very dangerous for them.
As of the morning of July 9, one Russian ship is on duty in the Black Sea, which carries Caliber with a total salvo of up to four missiles, and in the Sea of Azov — three surface ships. These are mini-minesweepers that do not pose a threat to us, Pletenchuk noted.
