On average, Russian ships go to sea and carry out missile launches two to three times a month.

The spokesperson of the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, stated this during a TV broadcast, Ukrinform reports.

"Consistently, they go out about two to three times a month and likewise use missiles two to three times. At the beginning of this year there was fairly large-scale use: there were two surface ships and a submarine, something we had not seen for quite a long time. Accordingly, the number of missiles was also higher than usual, but the overall trend remains unchanged," Pletenchuk said.
