As of the morning of November 3, Russia continues to keep a missile carrier with Kalibr-type cruise missiles in the Black Sea. This enemy vessel is capable of launching a total salvo of up to four missiles, reports the Ukrainian Navy.
At the same time, no Russian ships are present in the Sea of Azov. However, one vessel has been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea. This ship is armed with Kalibr missiles and can launch a total salvo of up to eight missiles.
Additionally, over the past day, the following vessels passed through the Kerch Strait in the interests of Russia:
- to the Black Sea - 5 ships, of which 2 continued toward the Bosphorus Strait;
- to the Sea of Azov - 7 ships, including 1 that came from the Bosphorus Strait.
The Ukrainian Navy reported that Russia continues to violate the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) from 1974 by disabling automatic identification systems.
Russia has not deployed missile carriers on combat duty in the Black Sea for over two weeks. The last time vessels were spotted was on October 19, but they did not have Kalibr missiles on board that day.
Earlier, it was reported that the Russian fleet could no longer effectively influence the course of combat operations under the current conditions.
