18 cruise missiles were launched a few hours ago from the Caspian Sea against seven fortified targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Aleppo and Idlib in Syria. This is what they communicate from the Russian General Staff.
The missiles Kalibr-NK they were launched by the ships of the Caspian War Flotilla. The attack was carried out by the class launcher frigate Gepard "Dagestan" and from the class corvettes Buyan, "Grad Sviyazhsk", "Uglich" and "Veliky Ustyug". It should be noted that the same ships carried out the first attack cruise from the sea last October 7th.
Finally, the Russian General Staff reports that ten warships have been deployed in the anti-terrorist operation in Syria. Six of these are in the Mediterranean. Recall that the Tartus naval base on the Mediterranean coast of Syria is protected by five warships with the Slava-class missile cruiser, the "Moskva".
The Kremlin, 24 hours ago, ordered the class destroyer Udaloy "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" from the Northern Fleet and the "small launcher ship" class Nanuchka "Mirazh" from the Black Sea to route to the Syrian coasts.
In the Mediterranean, Moscow also has five submarines. One of these, the "Rostov-on-Don", entered the history of the Russian Navy for having launched, for the first time in a real operational context, cruise missiles against enemy targets in Syria.
