This morning, November 21, nearly two dozen Russian ships deployed for combat duty were spotted in the Black Sea. Five of these ships are equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles, according to the Ukrainian Navy.
According to the military, these five missile carriers in the Black Sea can launch up to 28 Kalibr missiles in a single volley if fired.
At the same time, no enemy ships have been detected in the Sea of Azov.
The Ukrainian Navy also reported that two Russian ships have been spotted in the Mediterranean Sea, one of which is a Kalibr missile carrier capable of launching up to 16 missiles.
Russian forces' use of Kalibr missiles in attacks on Ukraine
On November 17, during the latest large-scale combined strike on Ukraine, Russian forces launched 90 drones and 120 missiles, including Kalibrs, fired from the Black Sea.
At that time, the Ukrainian Navy reported that four Russian missile carriers were in the Black Sea, with a combined salvo of up to 24 Kalibr missiles.
The Ukrainian Air Force also noted that in repelling the attack, 144 enemy targets were shot down, including Kalibr missiles.
Additionally, early this morning, November 21, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported the takeoff of a Russian MiG-31K, a carrier of air-launched ballistic missiles, the Kinzhal, which led to the declaration of a large-scale air alert in Ukraine.
Afterward, a high-speed target was tracked, moving toward Dnipropetrovsk, where explosions were heard in the city.
Later, it was confirmed that Russian Tu-95 aircraft were in the air, likely launching X-101 missiles toward Ukraine.
