Russia continues to keep the Kalibr carriers in the Mediterranean, although there has been no recent use of them in recent years.
This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon, UNN reports .

It's a rather interesting question, because we haven't seen any use of the latter in recent years. This is their way of being present. There is a permanent operational group there. It used to be based in Tartus. As of now, they are “hanging out at sea”. We have been watching how the Russians have not been allowed to enter their own, now former, base - the only foreign naval base of the Russian Federation - for more than 10 days. Most likely, it is now more of a standby mode, but of course, the ships that are in this convoy, which are intended to take their equipment from Syria, are actually accompanied by these combat units. Therefore, we also need to monitor the situation in the dynamics. Yes, unfortunately, they still have friendly regimes in Africa, they can probably go there, but still there is no base there
Recall
