As of 07:30 a.m. Monday, February 12, russia keeps 5 ships on combat duty in the Black Sea, including 2 Kalibr cruise missile carriers with a total salvo of up to 16 missiles.

This was announced by the command of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

"In the Black Sea, 5 enemy ships, including 2 Kalibr cruise missile carriers, a total salvo of up to 16 missiles; in the Sea of Azov - 1 enemy ship; in the Mediterranean Sea - 2 enemy ships, including 1 Kalibr cruise missile carrier, the total salvo is up to 8 missiles," the message says.

During the day, in the interests of the russian federation, passage through the Kerch Strait was carried out by:

- to the Sea of Azov - 7 ships, of which 4 were moving from the Bosphorus Strait;

- to the Black Sea - 15 ships, of which 5 continued their movement in the direction of the Bosphorus Strait.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the russian military boat Ivanovets was destroyed with the help of MAGURA V5 marine drones, which were controlled by the drone unit of the 13th group of the Defense Intelligence.

Earlier, the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense published footage of the destruction of the Ivanovets boat, captured by the cameras of marine drones.

The destruction of the russian boat Ivanovets was a significant loss, because only three such boats were in service with the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation.

In Ukraine, a special brigade of the Navy of kamikaze boats was created. They are armed with the Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic Apparatus (MAGURA) V-type. This is a Ukrainian development.
