Russia placed floating barges at the entrance of the Novorossiysk port, which has become a crucial hub for the Black Sea Fleet.
  • 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.
