The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed footage of the launch of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles from one of the frigates of the Black Sea Fleet. The video was published on Tuesday, May 17.
The Defense Ministry said that the missile strike was carried out on the objects of the military infrastructure of Ukraine as part of a special operation to protect Donbass. The salvo launch was carried out by the crew of the frigate of the Black Sea Fleet from the water area.
The footage shows that the combat mission was carried out at night and only bright flashes are visible from the volley.
On the same day, the military department showed footage of the combat work of the calculations of multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) "Orlan-10" of the Western Military District. Drones carry out reconnaissance flights for further coordination and coordination of actions of various types of military equipment, including in the conditions of interference of electronic warfare of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and radical nationalist groups.
Four high-explosive shells are suspended on the Orlan-10 and pinpoint strikes are also applied to enemy positions. Each projectile hits targets within a radius of 10 m.
Russia continues the special operation to protect Donbass, which President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24. The key goals of the Russian military are denazification and demilitarization of the Kiev regime. This is necessary to ensure the security of the Russian state and people. Moscow also stressed that it does not have plans for the occupation of Ukraine, and strikes are carried out only on military infrastructure.
The situation in the region worsened in mid-February due to shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Since 2014, the Ukrainian authorities have been conducting a military operation against the residents of Donbass, who refused to recognize the results of the coup in Ukraine.
