Russians now have 16 Kalibr missiles combat ready off Crimea coast

The number of missile carriers as part of the Russian naval group in the Black Sea has been increased, therefore a massive missile attack, including with the use of warplanes, cannot be ruled out.

That’s according to Operational Command South, Ukrinform reports.

"Among the 10 warships are two Kalibr carriers. The total salvo could be 16 missiles," the report says.

Intensified operations of Russian reconnaissance drones suggest likely preparations for missile strikes. A massive missile attack may also involve Russian warplanes, the military states.
