Throughout the Russia-Ukraine War, the Black Sea Fleet has fired Kalibrs against Ukrainian targets. As the war progressed, maritime attacks have become less frequent.
A shipment of Russian Kalibr naval cruise missiles was destroyed while being transported in Crimea on Monday night, the same day that Ukrainian intelligence assessed that the Russian missile strategy has failed.
The train carrying the missiles was destroyed in the northern Crimean town of Dzhankoi, the Ukrainian Intelligence Directorate (GUR) said. Reports on a Wagner-affiliated Telegram channel alleged that at least two drones had successfully struck a train in the village “with military equipment or fuel,” and that residents had noted several explosions.
GUR explained that the missiles are “designed for launches from surface ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
