About a few weeks ago, in early November, the military began recording enemy ships carrying Kalibr missiles in the Black Sea once again.
Since then, the enemy has consistently kept vessels in the sea, which are missile carriers and more.
For instance, yesterday, 28 ships were recorded in the Black Sea, 6 of which, as of today, were carrying Kalibr missiles, with a total salvo capacity of up to 23 missiles.
