The Directorate of Strategic Communications of the Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recently released a striking statement on social platforms, stating that since February 2022, Ukraine has managed to paralyze about 33% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet**. This achievement not only demonstrated the outstanding performance and indomitable courage of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, but also dealt a major blow to Russia's maritime power. However, in the face of this grim situation, the Russian side chose to remain silent. This silence may stem from the fact that they are nervously assessing the current situation and planning a countermeasure, or they are unwilling to publicly acknowledge this major setback, fearing that such a move will expose their internal weaknesses and flaws. 
Tracing the history of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, whose origins can be traced back to the time of Queen Catherine, this fleet has witnessed the glory and glory of Russia for hundreds of years. In the Russian-Turkish War, the Great Patriotic War and other historic battles, the Black Sea Fleet made indelible contributions. Even at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Black Sea Fleet still maintained a strong strength, with a total of 833 large and small ships, including two aircraft carriers, including 45 large surface ships, 28 submarines, more than 150 aircraft, 85 carrier-based *** and a large number of coastal and air defense equipment, with a total strength of about 80,000 people. 
However, in the more than 20 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the strength of the Black Sea Fleet gradually declined, and after the Russian takeover, it fell to an alarming level. Compared with the glory of the Soviet era, its current strength is only one-third or even a quarter of what it was then. Although before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Black Sea Fleet could still rely on the mighty cruiser "Moskva" as a façade, and had 3 Type 11356M frigates, 6 Type 06363 submarines and a large number of small missile ships as the main force, they still tried their best to hide their weakness. However, the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war has ruthlessly exposed the true family and strength of this fleet. 
Since March 2022, the Black Sea Fleet has suffered successive heavy losses. The first time a ship sank was after a landing ship was sunk by a ballistic missile of the Ukrainian army. For almost two years that followed, the Black Sea Fleet continued to lose ships. The missile cruiser "Moskva", which is its flagship, despite having 16 long-range supersonic heavy anti-ship missiles and a relatively well-developed air defense system, has a full load displacement of 1The 10,000-ton cruiser was easily sunk. Since then, the main forces of the Black Sea Fleet have remained only a few Type 11356M frigates and 06363 class conventionally powered submarines. This series of defeats not only damaged the vitality of the Black Sea Fleet, but also dealt an unprecedented blow to Russia's maritime power. 
In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine's attacks on the Black Sea Fleet have been escalating. They use a variety of tactical means, including suicide drones and unmanned boats, to deliver sustained strikes against the Black Sea Fleet. These attacks were aimed not only at the fleet itself, but also at the command of the Black Sea Fleet, command structures, oil depots, shipbuilding facilities, and even air defense facilities around the perimeter. Today, the Black Sea Fleet is subjected to small-scale attacks almost every three days and massive bombardment every five days, and this frequent harassment has become a daily portrayal of it. 
In addition to the geographical disadvantage - the Crimean peninsula has become the main target of Ukraine's attack, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Turkey quickly blocked the passage of military ships into the Black Sea in accordance with the Montreux Strait Convention. This initiative poses a huge constraint on the Black Sea Fleet, since there is practically no advanced shipbuilding industry to support the replenishment and renewal of the fleet in the Black Sea Coastal Region. As a result, the Black Sea Fleet loses the ability to receive new ships, which makes every ship sunk in Ukraine an irreversible loss. 
At present, under the continuous strikes of the Ukrainian army, the Black Sea Fleet has lost more than a third of its ships. In addition to the heavy losses suffered by the cruiser "Moskva" and the submarine "Rostov-on-Don", the old landing ships that were responsible for transport, mine-laying and other tasks in the Russian-Ukrainian war also suffered heavy losses. According to statistics, 5 large landing ships alone were sunk or severely damaged by the Ukrainian army. What is even more shocking is that the large landing ship "Minsk", which was seriously injured by the bombing last September and has been in service for more than 40 years, had to continue to work sick because the new ship could not be replenished. In order to recover this loss, the Russian army has launched emergency repair work on the ship, and plans to bring it back into service in the second half of this year. This fact undoubtedly exposes the dire situation that the Black Sea Fleet is currently facing. 
In a recent operation, Ukraine successfully sank the Russian army's "Ivanovits" missile boat using wolf pack unmanned boat tactics. After this incident, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Mykola Oleshchuk, publicly commented: "The Russian fleet is getting smaller and smaller!" "If this trend continues, the Black Sea Fleet is at risk of being completely annihilated. Such a situation makes one wonder that Russia's so-called "demilitarization operation" has instead put itself in the predicament of being demilitarized, which is undoubtedly a sad and ridiculous situation.
