Russia holds in the Black Sea of ​​flotilla of four rocket ships, each of which is able to run eight winged missiles. One of these ships has overcome one and a half thousand kilometers, told an OSINT investigative. On December 5, a small missile ship (MRC) "Tucha" of the Project 22800 "Karakurt" was noticed in the port in Novorossiysk on the Black Sea coast of the Russian Federation. The ship was completed in June 2023, then with land, rivers and channels were sent to the Azov and Black Seas.

Satellite photos of flotilla of the carmbers ships showed an OSINT investigative with a nickname MT_anderson on the social network X (formerly Twitter). In the photos published by MT_anderson, you can see four Russian MRCs at three points in the Black Sea. In particular, the Askold ship was in a bay near the Ship repair plant "Fall" in Sevastopol, the Cyclone ship - then they saw in the bay of Sevastopol, two ships - Tucha and Amur - noticed on December 5 in the port of Novorossiysk.

Particular attention was attracted by the Tucha ship - its outlines are noticeable in the photo # 2. The investigator noted that the Tucha MRC was built at the Zelenodolian shipbuilding plant, located in the depths of Russia on the Volga River. In order to repair its Black Sea, the Russians were forced to pull it across the Volga River, the Volga-Don Channel, and sometimes land. It should be noted that the new missile ship had to overcome about 1. 6 thousand km.

Thanks to these efforts, the author writes, the Russian Federation has received another vessel capable of releasing a volley of eight winged rockets "Caliber". It should be noted that the spokesman of the Navy of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the 3rd rank Dmitry Pletenchuk noted that the Cyclone ship, which is also a carbar carrier, has not yet launched rockets.

Therefore, the officer suggested that perhaps the Karakurt project did not live up to hope and so far use exclusively for air defense. In his opinion, "it is surprising. " Small missile ships of the project 228000 "Karakurt" began to be released in the Russian Federation since 2015. The vessels are able to launch eight "caliber" or "Onyx" missiles, also has guns and anti-aircraft missile systems.

It is produced by four shipbuilding plants: "Leningrad Shipyard Pella" (800 km from Ukraine, "Zelenodolsk Shipyard" (900 km), "Amur Shipyard and" Essential shipyard "(6 thousand km). In 2023, long -range missiles of the Armed Forces kissed the shipyard of a ship repair plant in Sevastopol and damaged two warships that stood in dry docks. After that, as the media wrote, the Russians tried to relocate most of the fleet away from the Crimea, for example, to the port of Novorossiysk.
