Among them are 4 rocket carriers – 2 surface and 2 underwater. The total salvo of Caliber can be 24 high-precision missiles. – said Natalia Gumenyuk.

She stressed that the withdrawal of launch vehicles indicates readiness for their use, and not necessarily all 24 Kalibr are ready for launch.

• It should be noted that on March 1, Russia concentrated 15 ships in the Black Sea at once, of which 5 were missile carriers. However, by evening, the occupiers brought one of the launchers to the base point.
