The Russians have launched a massive missile attack by patrolling carriers in the Caspian Sea. It is the Russian Ministry of Defense itself which communicates the use of high-precision Kalibr NK cruise missiles.

The missiles reach targets in northern Syria by flying over western Iran and northern Iraq.

"The fact that we launched high-precision missiles from the Caspian Sea to around 1500 kilometers away, affecting all targets, demonstrates the capacity of our offensive system."

The attack was brought from Dagestan, a “Gepard” class missile frigate and from the Buyan class corvettes, Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich and Veliky Ustyug.
