Ukraine LET Russia Arm Its $130M Warship With 8 Kalibr Missiles — Then BLEW IT APART

A Russian Buyan-M loaded with eight Kalibr cruise missiles ran for open water off Temryuk, across the strait from Crimea — the one place it believed it could survive. What was waiting out there was never in the sky. A Project 21631 Buyan-M carries eight Kalibr or Oniks missiles in two vertical launch modules, and Russia has used the class to strike Ukrainian cities. Temryuk's harbor reaches the sea only through a dredged channel that silts up and needs constant dredging. In the same bay, a Buyan-M once collided with a civilian tanker while evading an attacking drone, and Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) has reported hitting a Buyan-M in Temryuk Bay — first its radar, then its hull. Forbes Ukraine has estimated a single Kalibr at about $6.5 million. This video follows a Kalibr warship that did everything right — and why three layers of air defense, a Tor-M2, a Pantsir-S1 and the ship's own guns, each made the correct call and still lost.
