Pletenchuk: Attack with Kalibers alone is not effective, Onyx is more dangerous
Kyiv • UNN
Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk says that although the Russians are trying to create unified silos to launch both Kalibr and the more dangerous Oniks missiles, there are currently no ships in the Azov-Black Sea region capable of launching both missiles.
Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk points out that the invaders are drawing conclusions and trying to create unified mines for launching Oniks and Kalibr missiles, but there are currently no ships of such projects in the Azov-Black Sea region. Writes UNN with reference to the telethon.
If you attack with Kalibrs alone, the effectiveness is usually not very high - as a rule, the percentage of these missiles being shot down is quite high. The Russians are learning from this. In their latest projects, they are making unified silos to launch both Kalibr and Oniks. "The Oniks is a more dangerous weapon compared to the Kalibr. But in the Azov-Black Sea region, there are no ships of such designs that can launch both missiles.
The Ukrainian Navy spokesperson also answered questions about the enemy's tactics in the use of naval carriers.
There is nothing new in Russia's tactics. Given the danger of using cruise missile carriers, they limit them as much as possible. They have 8 of them in the Black Sea. They use them to overload Ukrainian air defense, during combined missile and drone attacks.
On the situation in the seas: Black and Azov Seas.
The situation remains stable. We have not seen any carriers for several days. Now there are no Russian ships in the Black Sea at all. There are 4 units in the Azov: 3 mini-trawlers and a boat, which cannot do us any harm. The enemy continues to hide at the naval base in Novorossiysk, Pletenchuk said.
