Russians hold one missile carrier each in the Black and Mediterranean Seas – General Staff.


According to the Ukrainian Navy, there is one enemy ship in both the Black and Mediterranean Seas equipped with "Kalibr" missiles. The ship in the Black Sea has a total salvo of up to 4 missiles, and in the Mediterranean Sea - up to 8 missiles. There are no enemy ships in the Sea of Azov.
For Russia, the Kerch Strait is also important, through which 5 vessels passed to the Black Sea, of which 2 continued towards the Bosphorus. In the Sea of Azov, 7 vessels passed, 1 of which was heading from the Bosphorus.
Recently, the Ukrainian Navy participated in NATO exercises using unmanned systems. Additionally, the Russian fleet no longer influences the situation in Ukraine, as noted by the spokesperson of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk. The loss of the Russian Tu-22M3 aircraft made them more cautious. Thus, a Russian ship could mistakenly attack a civilian vessel near border waters due to a potential threat from Ukrainian missiles.
