However, after waiting out more powerful waves, the enemy remained on duty near the launch pads – a launch vehicle with 8 Caliber missiles on board. The ship can be involved in any additional attack: air-launched missiles, drones, ballistic missiles, coastal missile systems.

All this applies as in complex, and absolutely pointwise. Sea-based Kalibr missiles are highly accurate and can be used against specific targets. So far, we are observing obvious savings and restraint of the enemy in the use of sea-based missiles, but this is not an indicator that can mean a clear refusal to use Caliber,” emphasized Natalya Gumenyuk.

There is also one ship in the Azov Sea on the Mediterranean Sea. They are not launch vehicles.

They are practicing crew coordination tasks, but are stationed in coastal waters along the Black Sea coast of the aggressor country. The enemy significantly hampered the Russians' ability to carry out amphibious attacks, reducing their number to a battalion.
  • Previously, the representative of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmitry Pletenchuk, explained the prolonged absence of Russian missile strikes from the sea.
