Russia has withdrawn the bulk of its Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol following repeated Ukrainian strikes on the Crimean port using Storm Shadow missiles.
Satellite imagery shows at least 10 vessels have been moved to the Russian port of Novorossiysk, including the Admiral Makarov and Admiral Essen frigates.
Three diesel submarines, five landing ships, and several small missile ships also appear to have been relocated.
Russian bloggers have suggested vessels had also been moved to eastern Crimea. Satellite images from early October show a patrol ship in the port of Feodosia.
Ukraine has repeatedly used Storm Shadow missiles, supplied by Britain, to attack targets around Sevastopol including the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, Minsk landing ship and Rostov Kilo-class submarine.
It comes amid reports that Russia intends to establish a naval base on the Black Sea coast of Abkhazia, a separatist region of Georgia.
Last week, the Ministry of Defence said Russia’s ability to blockade Ukraine had been weakened by attacks on its fleet, although it was still capable of launching cruise missile attacks.
It’s still the same report of Russia moving a number of ships out of Sevastopol to different Black sea ports. It’s a partial retreat not a complete withdrawal
Beating the Russian navy……without having a navy
Did they copy the vessel design directly from the West, or from plans the Chinese had taken from the West?
