Navy: the Russian Kalibr carrier is on duty in the Black Sea

As of the morning of January 22, there is one Russian ship in the Black Sea – the Caliber carrier with a total salvo of up to four cruise missiles, the Naval Forces of Ukraine reported.

“There are no enemy ships in the Sea of ​​Azov; in the Mediterranean Sea – six enemy ships, two of which are carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles with a total volley of up to 22 missiles,” the message says.

The Navy was informed on January 21 that Russia had taken the Kalibr carrier into the Black Sea. Before that, Russia withdrew missile carriers to the Black Sea on January 14.

Last November, British intelligence said that since February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had destroyed or damaged more than 25% of the main Russian warships operating in the Black Sea.

At the same time, British intelligence emphasizes that, despite the fact that the Russian Black Sea Fleet is currently limited to the eastern part of the Black Sea, it retains the ability to strike from a long distance on the territory of Ukraine in support of land operations.

In June of last year, Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said that Russia is hiding large ships and Kalibr carriers, but “the hunt should not stop.”
