According to Dmytro Pletenchuk, the spokesman of the Armed Forces Navy, the Russians have 8 missile carriers in the Black Sea with a total launch of 52 missiles, but there were no precedents for their simultaneous use.
Points of attention
- Assessment of Russia's capability to launch simultaneous attacks on Ukraine with Kalibr missiles
- Insight into the readiness of Ukraine's Armed Forces Navy to respond to potential missile strikes
- Analysis of previous missile attacks and the success rate of defense forces in intercepting Kalibr missiles
- Discussion on the increase in production of Kalibr missiles and the threat it poses to Ukraine's security
- Warning against the escalating terror tactics by Russia and efforts to counter such aggressive actions
Is Russia capable of using dozens of Calibers at the same time to strike Ukraine?
Currently, the Russians have 8 Kalibr cruise missile carriers in the Black Sea with a total launch of 52 missiles, but there were no precedents for their simultaneous use.
This was announced by the spokesman of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Captain 3rd rank Dmytro Pletenchuk.
Let's count together. In the waters of the Black Sea, there are 8 carriers of cruise missiles: 5 — surface and 3 — underwater. Submarines have 4 launchers — that's 12 missiles. And 8 launchers for 5 surface ones. In other words, it is a total of 52 launchers. But there were no such precedents of simultaneous use of all media. As far as I remember, the maximum was three carriers.

Pletenchuk added that the Russians have not been using these carriers for some time in attacks, but this threat should not be dismissed.
Of course, no one stopped the production of Calibers. At least there was no such information. Accordingly, most likely, they can accumulate. Because the enemy does not abandon his plans, he did not abandon them. Therefore, this danger should be considered as present.
At the same time, the spokesman of the Armed Forces Navy reminded that during the last attacks of the Russians with Calibers, all these missiles were shot down by our defense forces. So, during the last two attacks, when they used them together with missiles launched from strategic aircraft, 100% of the Calibers were destroyed.
And in general, the use of these missiles has decreased significantly recently, because we are not standing still. First of all, thanks to our colleagues from the Air Force, who destroy these missiles.
Russia wants to significantly increase terror against Ukraine
According to Andrii Kovalenko, regular raids by Russian "shaheeds" are an element of intelligence.
What is important to understand is that for the enemy, the mentioned drones remain just short-range strike weapons.
As for distant ones, the main function is reconnaissance. Increasing the production of cans also has its own purpose — they want to go into an almost 24-hour mode of attacks in the future, so that alarms in the regions become commonplace. But this game can be played by two people, — the head of the CPD warns the Russian occupiers.
