Spray masks of different colors and patterns on the surface of the battleship to protect yourself and confuse your opponents. This method was popular decades ago, but it has been used in different countries for a long time. One by one, they were removed. However, who would have thought that the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy, which was so defeated in the Russian-Ukrainian war, actually used this method again to put "protective paint" on his **. Does he really think that simply changing the color of ** can reduce the likelihood of an attack by the Ukrainian military? 
Many of the ships lost by the Black Sea Fleet remained at his place of residence and had no intention of doing so. Go to sea to fight. After all, although the Russian army gave the Ukrainian Navy a devastating blow at the beginning of the "special military operation", the already weakened Ukrainian army was beaten to the point that "there is not even a single ship". But soon a strange thing happened in the history of human warfare - Ukraine, which had no ships at all, inflicted huge losses on the army. Russia's powerful Black Sea, which sank a lot of Russian ships, and even the Black Sea sea pressure. The fleet remained in the port "hang no battle card" .
The missile "Storm Shadow" flew to the target, but it remained in the port and did not go to the sea, although it can be prevented in the most important way, being attacked by Ukrainian ships when no one is there, but there is no guarantee that it will not be hit by missiles carried by Ukrainian fighters. Earlier, the Ukrainian Air Force used Su-24 bombers to launch British "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles, successfully attacked the home port and headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and successfully destroyed a number of Russian ships. Taking into account the imminent acquisition of American-made F-16 fighter jets, the Ukrainian Air Force will increase the pressure on the Black Sea defenses. Therefore, the Russian side is currently busy painting the remaining few ships with protective paint, which may prevent the Ukrainians from retrofitting them in the future. Multi-air missile attack. Interestingly, unlike the various types of masks used in previous years, the protective masks displayed by the Russian Navy on ships this time seem to be "unusual". 
Masks are widely used and we know that traditional masks are painted with lines and stripes of different colors on the body, with regular and irregular patterns. Due to the confusion caused by these masks, the human eye produces false thoughts and false perceptions when at a distance, such as the size, shape, speed of an object, the ship, the route of the ship, and the distance of the ship from it, etc. In the latter part of World War I and World War II, the major belligerents used this method to improve the survivability of their ships. 
Camouflage is rarely deployed in modern times, but after the end of World War II, due to the rapid development of radar and various electronic guidance technologies, naval camouflage lost its role other than the human eye. It's useless, because radar and guidance technology simply can't fool. Nowadays, small ** with only a certain tonnage still use some traditional camouflage methods. This is due to their small size, and it is difficult for large and medium-sized anti-ship missiles to accurately hit them. Therefore, it remains to be seen how the battle between friend and foe will be. Guns and ** are mainly used at long distances, so camouflage still has a role. 
The red Russian new ** Russian Black Sea Fleet this time painted ** not to make an impression - a false and false perception in the eyes, but to create a mask. Tree view. The effect of The Hidden Forest. As can be seen from satellite images, the Black Sea Fleet's new large ships 11711 "Ivangren" in recent years, as well as 22160 corvettes, are painted in similar colors to these. Another ship used to be. Only the ** that was in service that year was painted red. 
The Soviet Navy used to paint the deck red, you know, the color of the deck is red, which is a tradition that has been preserved since Soviet times and is an important element of the Soviet Navy. In the case of Russia, many surface ships inherited from the USSR Navy still retain this feature. However, the delivery of new ships by Russia in recent years has not continued to do so. Instead, he matched the deck with the rest of the hull, that is, using gray paint. In this way, when one looks at these Russian ** from above, they can easily distinguish which ships have old equipment and which ones have modern equipment. 
The new Russian ** generally uses a gray ladder Now, the new ** also paints the deck red, on the other hand, it will be misleading for satellite and aerial reconnaissance, so it will be difficult for the outside world to determine which ship has updated equipment, that is, "worthy targets" at the outset. From this point of view, this activity can also be regarded as a kind of "camouflage" with a deceptive effect, but in a completely different way from traditional camouflage. However, in this day and age when various technologies are already very advanced, can this practice succeed in deceiving the Ukrainian army? The probability may not be very high.
