How many Kalibrs Russia has

At the beginning of April, Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, said that since the end of September 2023, Russia has not used Kalibrs against Ukraine to replenish its stocks. As of that time, the terrorist state had about 260 units of these cruise missiles. Furthermore, the enemy also planned to produce about 30 units per month.

On the night of May 19, the missile ship Cyclone, which was the last carrier of cruise missiles in Crimea, was sunk in Sevastopol.
