Quote from Humeniuk: "Now we see that the sea is back on our side; the storm has intensified.
This forced the launch vehicles, among other things, to take cover in their bases. But the enemy's ship grouping is still quite powerful in the Black Sea. In particular, these are 12 ships, but among them are only 2 launch vehicles — one on the surface and one underwater.
The total payload of the Kalibrs is 12 units. This is enough to launch pinpoint strikes on critical infrastructure facilities, but we see that they need to regain their strength after a missile attack.
In addition, stormy weather and gusty winds reduce the likelihood of them using kamikaze drones."
Background: According to the City Council of Odesa, because of the storm, mine danger increased in the Black Sea on 28 January.
