Two Russian warships carrying 16 Kalibr missiles spotted off the coast of Romania

Two Russian Project 22160 warships spotted near Romanian territorial waters.

The Sentinel 2 spacecraft and the workers of the gas production platform were spotted not far from the territorial waters of Romania by two Russian warships of project 22160. Two warships are capable of carrying up to 16 Caliber or X-35 cruise missiles. At the same time, an autonomous combat module "Thor" was seen on board one patrol ship, and a helicopter (presumably Ka-27 or Ka-29 - ed.) was seen on board the second.

The appearance of two Russian warships in this area of ​​the Black Sea was a very big surprise. At the same time, the purpose of the presence here of ships carrying tactical missile weapons has not yet been disclosed, however, apparently, Russian warships could monitor NATO ships and record the activity of reconnaissance and combat aircraft of the Western military bloc.

Judging by the satellite image, a group of two Russian warships was moving eastward. However, at the moment, the route of movement of the ships remains unknown, since due to high cloudiness, it was not possible to determine their current location after June 13, 2022. At the same time, it is possible that Russian ships could patrol the waters near Zmeiny Island, however, due to the inability to track the previous location of the ships, it is still impossible to say for sure about this.
