The Ukrainian navy sounds the alarm.
War in Ukrainejour 1063.
This Tuesday morning, the Ukrainian navy published an inventory that is not necessarily very reassuring on the situation of the Russian fleet in the various European waters. A chilling state of affairs due to the proximity of the ships but also their equipment. And for good reason.
Traffic
According to the Ukrainian Navy, 8 Russian boats are currently in Black Sea. An eminently strategic place in the context of the invasion of Ukraine. Among these buildings, two of them would continue their route towards the Bosphorus. But it is a third vessel which attracts more particular attention, since it is equipped with missiles Kalibr. “In the event of a strike, the ship can launch up to 4 missiles simultaneously”reports the RBC-Ukraine agency.
Missiles at the center of all attention. Indeed, still according to the Ukrainian navy, a total of 6 boats including two missile carriers would also be stationed in Mediterranean “with a total salvo capacity of up to 22 missiles”.
-In addition, Ukraine has seen significant traffic in the Kerch Strait, with around a dozen boats coming and going between the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
Pour RBC-Ukraine, “the Ukrainian Navy noted that Russia continues to violate the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) by disabling automatic identification systems”.
