The missile carrier is capable of launching up to four Kalibr missiles, adding a new layer of strategic presence in the region.

The presence of Kalibr-equipped ships in the Mediterranean could signal Russia’s intent to maintain a flexible strike capability in a region that has seen increasing geopolitical friction.
