- Satellite images show Russia has placed barriers at its ports to defend the Black Sea Fleet.
- The measures are designed to protect Russian warships from Ukraine’s uncrewed surface vessels.
- Kyiv has relied on this fleet of exploding drone boats to damage and destroy Moscow’s naval force.
Newly captured satellite imagery shows Russia has put up barriers at a major port to defend its Black Sea Fleet warships from Ukraine’s unrelenting exploding drone boat attacks.
The protective measures at Novorossiysk, a city in western Russia located along the Black Sea, appear to be building on similar efforts in Sevastopol, where Moscow’s naval assets have been targeted by Ukraine throughout the full-scale war.
“Due to an increased risk of Ukrainian strikes in their traditional homeport of Sevastopol, Novorossiysk now serves as a crucial role in sheltering the Black Sea Fleet’s most valuable assets,” Britain’s defense ministry wrote in a Sunday intelligence update.
No, no, no. This prevents uncontrolled loss of ships. See, now, they can control which boats get sunk by USVs and which boats are safe.
Is best Russian Navy strategy!
