The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of a Black Sea Fleet frigate firing Kalibr cruise missiles at Ukrainian military infrastructure.
"Operating in the waters of the Black Sea, the crew of the frigate of the Black Sea Fleet was given the task of hitting the enemy's military infrastructure facilities in the shortest possible time with Kalibr cruise missiles. A salvo of four cruise missiles was successfully launched against the Ukrainian forces' military targets. The designated targets were hit," the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
In September, a source in Ukraine’s General Staff told British business media that Kiev "wanted an analogue of the Russian Kalibr and Kh-101s." The official highlighted the Russian weapons’ speed, maneuverability and stealth characteristics, saying they make the weapons difficult to intercept.
