However, three ships are currently in the Mediterranean, two of which are equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles. Their total possible salvo amounts to 20 missiles.
Additionally, the Navy stated that in the past day, a total of 10 vessels passed through the Kerch Strait in the interests of Russia:
- to the Black Sea - 10 vessels, of which 7 continued their journey toward the Bosporus Strait;
- to the Sea of Azov - 5 vessels, 1 of which was coming from the Bosporus Strait.
"Russia continues to violate the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974 by disabling automatic identification systems," the military added.
In the previous few days, there was one hostile vessel in the Black Sea, which was also a carrier of Kalibr missiles. Its maximum strike capacity was up to 4 missiles.
