This morning, the Russian military deployed its new Cyclone ship to the Black Sea for the first time, according to Natalia Gumenyuk, the official representative of the Operational Command "South".
This ship is a Kalibr missile carrier and recently joined the Russian Black Sea Fleet. It is armed with 8 universal launchers designed for Kalibr and Oniks missiles.
Today, the Russian side has launched as many as three missile carriers into the sea, with a total volley of up to 20 missiles.
They also launched individual Shaheds, which performed reconnaissance functions and tested the reaction of Ukrainian air defense.
Natalia Gumenyuk warns that such actions indicate Russia's possible readiness to launch a new missile attack on Ukraine.
