One of the reasons why the Russians have begun to use Kalibr less is logistical problems. This was reported by the head of the press center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, Natalia Humeniuk, during a telethon, UNN reports.
It is also problematic for the Russians to maintain the missile launchers that produce the Kalibr and to reload with the Kalibr, because all this logistics and infrastructure remains in the Sevastopol bays, and it is very difficult for the missile carriers to get there now
According to her, the Russians feel threatened, which is confirmed by British intelligence findings that they are fortifying their base in Novorossiysk and trying to block it.
"We have already said that patrol ships and boats dared to leave the waters of the Russian bay only to check and fix the new barriers they had put up there," she added.
Recall
The day before, the head of Ukraine's Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov, reported that Russia had accumulated Kalibr missiles and was now ready to use them after replenishing its stockpile.

Director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise Oleksandr Ruvin previously said that their experts can absolutely accurately determine the carrier from which the enemy launches Kalibr missiles at Ukraine on a given day.
"Our experts can determine exactly where the missile was fired from - from a ship or submarine, and calculate which vessel and under what command. This is so that law enforcement agencies know exactly who to report the suspicion to," Ruvin said.
He reminded that Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise is currently the only one in Ukraine who can decrypt black boxes from downed occupiers' airplanes and helicopters.
"In particular, we have identified the aircraft that bombed the TV tower in Kharkiv on March 6, 2022, and the airfield from which it took off. The Russian Su-34 bomber was shot down by our defenders, and the pilot managed to eject. He was detained and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Then the Russian pilot was exchanged for many Ukrainian prisoners of war," said the Director of KFI.
