In addition, Russia has two enemy ships in the Mediterranean Sea, including one Kalibr cruise missile carrier, with a total volley of up to 8 missiles.

Russia has not used the Kalibr for a long time

On January 31, the Russian invaders deployed surface missile launchers to the Black Sea, and an extremely high level of missile threat was observed. As of 20:00, there were 13 Russian ships in the Black Sea. The enemy brought an underwater missile carrier to the basing point but put two frigates on duty.

Recently, Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesperson for the Southern Ukrainian Defense Forces, said that the Russians had not used Kalibr missiles to strike Ukraine for a long time.

According to the latest data from the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia has about 900 high-precision long-range missiles.
