Learn about the "terrifying weapon" used by Russia in Ukraine

The Russian army launched a number of "Kaliber" missiles from naval vessels in the Black Sea towards the coasts of Ukraine as part of its invasion process.

The Ukrainian military said that areas near Poltava, Maripol and other coastal areas were hit by Kalibr missiles launched from the Black Sea, according to "Reuters".

And "Caliber" is a winged missile launched from ships, and it can hit targets at a distance of 1500-2500 kilometers, and fly at the same speed as aircraft (about 900 kilometers per hour).

Russia used this type of missile during its military intervention in Syria, which began in 2015.

It is considered the most deadly weapon of the Russian army, due to its high destructive capacity, as it carries a warhead weighing half a ton of explosives.
