“Russia has significantly increased the combat potential of the Black Sea Fleet and has concentrated in the Black Sea new ships and submarines that carry Caliber cruise missile weapons,” the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine quoted Voronchenko as saying.

The admiral noted that the total salvo of these missiles is 72 units.

He also added that Russia has created a deeply echeloned defense in the region, strengthening its air defense with S-400 installations.

On October 9, a Kolpino submarine of the Russian Black Sea Fleet fired Caliber rockets during combat training in the Black Sea.
