< p>On September 15, Russia holds 16 ships in the Black Sea and one in the Sea of Azov.
In the Black Sea, in particular, the small missile ship (SMR) Cyclone is on duty.

However, the Ukrainian side has not yet recorded its use as a launch vehicle.
A potential salvo of such an RTO could be eight Kalibr-type missiles.
“Therefore, we need to be prepared for the fact that the Russians may take a desperate step and use a ship that has not passed official tests,” emphasized Natalya Gumenyuk.
According to the head of the joint coordination press center of the Defense Forces South, Russia, after attacks on its fleet, began to deploy its naval group more widely.
“The Russians are restless in the bays, so they are trying to occupy the most extensive system of locations in the Black Sea in order to have more room for maneuvers,” explains Natalya Gumenyuk.
According to her, the Russian command is taking such actions because awareness that ships squeezed in bays will not be able to maneuver, which makes the possibility of defeat more likely.
What is known about the Cyclone ship
The Russians built the Cyclone ship according to the Karakurt project at the plant The bay in temporarily occupied Kerch.
MRK was introduced into the Russian Black Sea Fleet, despite the fact that it did not pass the necessary tests either in 2021 or in 2022.
As explained Previously, the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Dmitry Pletenchuk, the Russians introduced the Cyclone into their fleet to create an image that they could launch or revive something.
