Before the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, the sea power of the two countries was very different, but after the outbreak of the war, the sea power of the two countries is very different.
At this time, Russia has occupied Crimea, and on the Sea of Azov, it has blocked the eastern front of the Ukrainian army, and the Ukrainian navy has little left. The Russian Black Sea Fleet occupied Crimea, which is mainly old, but it still has certain advantages over the Ukrainian Sea Fleet.
But what everyone did not expect was that in the Russian-Ukrainian war, it was the Black Sea Navy that suffered heavy losses.
If he fights the Ukrainians without proper ships, we will not win; And the joint operation on land and sea, which only occupied Snake Island at the beginning of the war and later withdrew the landing, does not seem to have much significance. In other words, once the Ukrainians regain control of the warship, they will be reckless in the western part of the Black Sea.
When the ** fight is over, the Black Sea Fleet will also shrink to the Crimea, although it does not seek a big victory, but it can no longer be damaged! He didn't have much to do anyway.
Eventually, Ukraine regained Snake Island, the Russians began to threaten Ukraine's last remaining coast, and Ukraine is also thinking about how to deal with the Russians.
Naval operations are inseparable from the support of equipment and systems. The Ukrainians have neither regular ships nor complete means of reconnaissance, and it would be foolish to expect them to fight the Russians themselves.
But the war between Russia and Ukraine is not only the old comrades-in-arms of the two countries, but also a powerful North Atlantic Treaty Organization stands behind it.
Although Ukraine's combat capability on land is not very good, it is much more mature than Russia in terms of military system, although it will not lose all the systems to Ukraine, but it is enough for their troops to play their due role on the battlefield.
The Ukrainian army does not know that the Russian warship is in **, but it is enough to get the news from NATO. It doesn't matter if the Ukrainian people don't use it themselves, if they have the goods, they will have the goods, and they can be modified!
Therefore, in the long run, in addition to an anti-ship missile, the Ukrainian army also has drones, drones, and cruise missiles, which can bring great danger to Russia.
Missiles of this class can cover the entire Black Sea, and even the entire Crimea, and the Black Sea Fleet is the first target to be attacked.
Thus, we see the destruction of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet, the destruction of a submarine, and even the destruction of the Crimean bridge.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet not only lost its flagship "Moskva", but also lost Snake Island, and even the headquarters was destroyed, the battleships were seriously damaged, and it was simply empty.
Even if they are disadvantaged on land, the Ukrainians will target the Black Sea Fleet, and from time to time they will show some achievements and make the Black Sea Fleet a part of them.
Not long ago, the Ukrainian Special Operations Group, which is part of US Defense Intelligence, released a ** showing a drone of the Black Sea Fleet attacking a missile boat.
The attacked Russian Ivanowitz "Spider-3" is a 954-meter-long giant ship with a weight of nearly 500 tons.
This missile boat is a product of the Soviet era, but it has not been decommissioned given that the Russian Navy now lacks sufficient military power. Fighting with a boat and a cannon is fantastic! Even the Black Sea Fleet can deal with it!
But who would have thought that the missile boat moored on the shore of Lake Donuzlav was attacked by a suicide unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of the Ukrainian army.
Lake Donuzlaw is located in the western part of the Crimean peninsula, it is a very narrow lake, about 8 km in the largest place and about 8 km in the largest.
Due to its close proximity to the Black Sea, several warships were docked here, which made everyone feel a sense of security. Prior to this, those drones of the Ukrainian naval regiment only attacked the seaport of Sevastopol and did not launch an offensive.
However, the distance between this place and Snake Island is only 220 kilometers, and Oleniovka was once landed by Ukrainian special forces, so the ships moored here are not always in an absolute state of safety.
According to the ** released by Ukraine, Ukrainian drones entered Donuzlav from the Black Sea at night and subsequently attacked Ivanovitz with a "saturation strike".
During routine military exercises of the Black Sea Fleet, the Ivanovitz was armed with a 76-mm cannon and two 630-pair anti-aircraft guns.
But this time, they were attacked by one unmanned reconnaissance aircraft after another, and triggered a violent **.
Although the boat is very old and the Black Sea Navy can cope with it, it is noteworthy that the Ukrainian side has improved the drone.
It is clear that the Ukrainian military received intelligence and communications equipment from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and this set of equipment is only one of their means. Drop it on the west side of the Black Sea, and when you reach the predetermined position, you can launch an attack.
* Ability to strengthen the defense forces of the Navy, as well as the ability to equip battleships with artillery, as well as to conduct military exercises. However, the U.S. Navy is committed to control of the seas, not defense.
If the Black Sea Fleet refuses to go far, or if it is too expensive, then they will end up the same as Ukraine.
Anyway, the Ukrainian Navy Fleet has nothing worth fighting, and the Russian Navy still has several objects that can be harvested, so their ** must be indispensable.
In addition, the Ukrainian military has been investing in this area for quite some time, having been in service since the fall of 2022, and the first few tests ended in failure, but then after continuous improvement, there has been a qualitative leap in its combat effectiveness.
With funding from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, such a cheap strategy targeting the sea should be given priority.
Russia can only march out of Odessa and then occupy the entire Ukrainian coastline. However, with Russia's current strength, it is almost impossible to take Odessa.
However, now, he had to turn from defense to offense and try to minimize his losses.
With the continuous development of unmanned aerial vehicles, low-cost, high-intensity, and high-intensity attack methods are gradually accepted by people, and how to effectively fight against high-cost ships under economic and reasonable conditions and give full play to their own advantages is a very challenging topic.
