"Kalibr missiles remain a dangerous weapon with a warhead weighing 450 kg, but the downing rate of these missiles is high. According to the servicemen, russians have taken this experience into account and are building unified launch facilities for both Kalibr and Oniks missiles," he said.

The navy spokesman emphasized that russian forces use Kalibr missiles to overload Ukrainian air defenses during combined missile and drone attacks. But other types of missile weapons are preferred for hitting targets now.
