Russian Kalibr missiles raises some questions, as the down rate of these missiles is up to 100%. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN .

Pletenchuk says that there is currently a cruise missile carrier in the Black Sea, namely a submarine that is considered to be armed. It can have from 4 missiles on board, so the alarm should not be ignored.

Although the very effectiveness of this weapon (the Kalibr missile - ed.) raises some questions. The Armed Forces have already studied this weapon and have successful ways to counter it. For example, when the enemy uses them as a separate type of weapon, sometimes the down rate of these missiles reaches 100%. That's why the enemy usually uses them in combined attacks to overwhelm air defense systems. The technical characteristics that the enemy declared before the use of these missiles differ from the actual ones

 ,” he explained.
