In 2020 a Tsirkon missile system was deployed to this base,[2] which may have been used for the 25 March 2024 attack on Kyiv.[3]
In October 2024, the complex was used against military targets in Odessa.[4]
Recently, after the 2014 referendum and annexation of Crimea, Russia started restoring and reactivating the site (over also start planning shipbuilding in Sevastopol, Feodosia and Kerch yard wharves plus various industrial factories in the peninsula along agriculture, transport infrastructures), can also operate mobile TEL Bastion P-800, silo K300S Oniks, Moskit TEL, Bal, Kalibr and Biryuza and maybe Iskander-K R-500 (it is unknown if 3M51 Alfa missiles will also be air launched and TEL like other missile complexes). "Bastion" silo-based missile complex should be deployed by 2020.[5]
Utes, or Sotka, Object-100 missiles are situated right on a cliff, with the sea beneath, 50–100 m from sea level, stationed at two firing positions (bunker TEL) alongside the rest of the base facilities.
In April 2017, crews of a 4K44 Utyos (SS-C-1B Sepal) stationary coastal defense missile system in Crimea test fired a P-35 (SS-C-3) cruise missile at a sea target. The missile has a range of 300 km and a 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) high-explosive warhead.[6]
