The Ukrainian navy prevents Russian warships from operating near the coast.
Analysts referred to the Ukrainian Navy’s statement about pushing the grouping of the Russian Black Sea Fleet more than 100 km from the Ukrainian coast. It was reported to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The report also states that the Russian navy had to change its tactics in the Black Sea and rely more on the Bal and Bastion coastal defense systems in occupied Kherson and Crimea, rather than on naval air defense.
The UK Ministry of Defense says Russian troops are strengthening their air defense assets on Zmeiny Island, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense says Russian troops have deployed additional air defense battalions of the S-300 in the Crimea.
If taken together, these reports suggest that Ukrainian naval pressure and anti-ship missiles, likely along with those provided by the UK and other states, have forced Russia’s force in the northwestern Black Sea to rely more than coastal and wind defenses.
Recall, earlier it was reported that about 38-40 thousand Russian troops were concentrated near Lisichansk – the enemy regrouped and accumulated troops.
