Ukraine wielded innovative naval drones, uncrewed aerial vehicles and missile strikes to target Russia's Black Sea fleet.
The 'last patrol ship' belonging to Russia's Black Sea fleet is moving away from Crimea, Ukraine's navy said on Monday, as Russia's naval forces stationed close to mainland Ukraine struggle to contend with persistent Ukrainian drone and missile attacks.'Remember this day,' Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesperson for Ukraine's navy, said in a statement posted to social media.The vessel is a Project 1135 ship, Pletenchuk told Reuters.
Vice Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa, the head of Ukraine's navy, told Reuters earlier this month that Moscow was 'losing' Sevastopol, adding: 'Almost all the main combat-ready ships have been moved by the enemy from the main base of the Black Sea Fleet.'Russia has attempted to shield its bases from attacks by using barges, decoys and false silhouettes to trick or trip up Ukrainian drone operators, according to British intelligence.
