Regarding the topic, the Enemy attacked with “Daggers” and not only: an air alert sounded in Ukraine
The Russians used Kalibr from submarines
Pletenchuk noted that, having a significant potential in the Black Sea, the Russians cannot actually use it. However, at some point the occupiers had to try to attack our state from this water area.
They are afraid. If they were 100% confident in their abilities, the submarines would go out more often. They came out a few times recently to check how much it was possible. I warned that it would be submarines, because they don’t dare to take out surface ships at the moment. But this is their third application in more than half a year,
– explained the spokesman.
He also emphasized that these two submarines are currently not far from the Novorossiysk base point and will most likely enter the base points. However, there are no more ships at sea.
The captain also noted that the Strategic Communications Center of the Defense Forces of the South can confirm that the Russians launched a total of six Calibers today. According to Pletenchuk, three missiles were destroyed in the area of responsibility of the Southern Defense Forces.
Commenting on how much time the enemy needs to rearm these submarines in order to withdraw the missile carriers again, Pletenchuk said that it is technically easy to do, but Russia has another problem – the availability of equipment.
“In order to load the corresponding missiles onto the submarine, it must rise to the surface, loading takes place in a surface position. And with a special crane on a horizontal carriage, these missiles are lowered to the level of the submarine, where they are already loaded into it in a horizontal position,” said the captain .
