Ukraine is stepping up attacks on Russian naval assets in the Black Sea using new sea drones.
KYIV — “Experimental” naval drones damaged two Russian military vessels — the Buyan mission carrier and the Pavel Derzhavin patrol boat — over the past two days, Ukrainian intelligence officials said Friday, as Kyiv continued a series of strikes against Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet.The attacks on the Black Sea Fleet, which is based in occupied Crimea, have demonstrated Ukraine’s ability to operate in Kremlin-controlled waters but do not appear to have seriously reduced Moscow’s capabilities.
“After the first , Russian minesweepers and divers were unable to discover our ‘know-how,’” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject. “ warns Muscovites that there is no need to go through Ukrainian waters if you want to preserve at least some remnants of your fleet.
The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, said in a report published Sunday that while “strikes on Black Sea Fleet assets are degrading its role as a combined arms headquarters,” they “have not defeated it as a naval force.”
