For over a week, enemy missile carriers have not appeared in the Black Sea, but the General Staff assesses the threat from the sea as consistently high.
This was reported by the head of the Joint Press Center of the Operational Command "South" Natalia Humenyuk during the TV marathon.
"The activities of the defense forces and weather conditions do not contribute to the enemy's naval group being fully deployed and allowing maneuvering as it was previously in the Black Sea. Currently, we observe that missile carriers have not appeared on the open spaces of the Black Sea for over a week, remaining at their bases. However, we remember that they are armed and ready for use. To appear on combat duty, they only need 2-3 hours. Also, the enemy can use missiles from within the bay itself, although this contradicts common sense and safety measures, but we have already recorded such facts. Therefore, the General Staff assesses the threat from the sea as consistently high," Humenyuk said.
Commenting on the Russia's increased aerial reconnaissance using drones, Humenyuk reported that the Russian forces are trying to compensate for the lack of their reconnaissance point A-50 in the airspace.
"They have lost their 'eyes,' and now they are trying to compensate for this absence in any other way. Drones, which have reconnaissance character, are currently intensively collecting information both along the line of the confrontation and trying to do so deeper into Ukraine. We see their activity, track them, and even according to the data of our air command, it is evident that we are working on them because practically every day there is information about the destruction of such drones," the spokeswoman noted.
