On Friday, the Russian Ministry of Defence published a video sequence on the Telegram messaging service showing the underwater launch of a Kalibr cruise missile from a conventional Kilo III-class submarine in the Black Sea, aimed at Ukraine. Whatever the optics have captured - it has not become a documentary masterpiece! The shots in the semi-darkness, taken at a great distance and correspondingly unclear, do not really confirm the Russian narrative. Nevertheless, this news is worth mentioning because it is the first time that the use of Kalibr from submarines in the Ukraine war has been publicised.<\/p>\n

And what else you break<\/strong><\/p>\n

This news was underpinned by the claim that the Russian air force had succeeded in attacking the production facilities of Ukrainian missile and space technology made by Artiom in Kiev with \"precision weapons\". So did the Ukrainian armourers have so little confidence in the two-month war - and only became aware of it after the sinking of the \"Moskva\"?<\/p>\n

1,300 cruise missiles already fired<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine's deputy defence minister, Hanna Maliar, confirmed that the Russian invaders had already fired more than 1,300 cruise missiles at Ukrainian territory. What may sound like an imminent sell-out of the Russian missile arsenal is, according to her findings, only half of the initially estimated threat potential. The threat is therefore diminishing as the Russian forces wear down, but there is still an alarming amount of ammunition available.<\/p>\n

Or is it running out after all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the fact that the submarines are now also being used to fire on land targets in Ukraine is also a possible indication that reserves are now being utilised. After all, launching cruise missiles via torpedo tubes and launching them on the surface - only to have to reload them later in the opposite direction - is not the simplest of procedures!<\/p>\n
