"Calibers" do not run: The Navy explained how Russians use the Caspian Sea
He noted that the Caspian Sea is one of the five locations where the Russian Navy is based. The Russians throw away from there warships by the Volga-Don Ship channel, which unites with the Azov Sea, and causes blows from the air in Ukraine. The Caspian Sea has rocket carriers that can launch Caliber missiles, but there is currently no confirmed information on shelling of Ukraine with the use of ships that are in the region.
"They are more likely to use the Caspian Sea for the task of blows from the air. That is, they come to this water area specifically and from there they have starting borders, in order to fire Ukraine," Pletenchuk said. According to him, most likely, this is to make it impossible to make losses among civilians in the event of an emergency of the old rockets, which are in service with the Russians.
