Russia has no warships deployed in the Black Sea at present, Ukraine's Navy said on Wednesday, shortly after Moscow said Kyiv had attacked annexed Crimea with U.S.-supplied missiles—using Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS.
Ukraine's military didn't detect Russian warships in the Black and Azov Seas on Wednesday morning. "In the Black and Azov Seas [the] enemy ships are missing," the press service of the Ukrainian Navy said.
Kyiv has targeted Russia's Black Sea Fleet throughout President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of the country, which began in February 2022. Ukraine has vowed to reverse the Russian leader's 2014 annexation of Crimea, which now serves as Moscow's central logistics hub for its forces in southern Ukraine.
Russia appears to have relocated some of its prized Black Sea Fleet vessels from its port in Crimea to avoid further losses following successful Ukrainian drone and cruise missile strikes.
Satellite images from last October showed that Russia's Fleet was fleeing from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk in Krasnodar Krai in southern Russia as Ukraine targeted Moscow's vessels. Ships were also heading to the Russian naval port in Feodosia further east on the annexed Crimean Peninsula.
More recent satellite images, from last month, shared by open source intelligence OSINT researcher MT Anderson, appear to show that the Black Sea Fleet has largely abandoned its major Crimean naval bases.

In this modern technological era spawned by the silicon chip, naval surface combatants, land armored vehicles and helicopters over the battlefield are obsolete death traps. Many will die before the “battleship Admirals” and the “cavalry generals” recognize the new realities.
Yup and as soon as Zelensky gets that 10 year signing bonus with Biden they’ll have Putin on the ropes …. Any day now…
Ukrainians must die so the defense industry can thrive!
Kyiv in 3 days! Bring your parade uniform!
One week until your Red Square “victory” parade! Lol!

No doubt that our toys and intel, logistics and training have helped Ukraine and played a role in killing many Russians.
I wouldn’t celebrate to much. Pay-back is a bitch.
We are extended all over this planet and there are many folks that want to hurt.
In the meantime: (Chad) https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/01/politics/us-withdraws-troops-chad/index.html (Sudan) https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/27/why-the-us-evacuation-from-sudan-left-americans-behind
And of course our bases in Syria and Iraq are getting hit more frequently and we’re losing folks there.
The proxy conflicts have already started.
We’re just not talking about it, nor connecting the dots yet.
But one thing is for sure, when we get a good dose of our own medicine, and it will happen, we will be outraged, find it unbelievable that the Russians have armed such a group, our media and leaders will talk about how it is unlawful, unethical, bla bla bla. It’s only a matter of time.
Aren’t you dressed up in your azov nazi brown uniform already?
Exactly what I was going to post.
Surface ships have to operate thousands of miles away from anything and stay very mobile and stealthy to survive.
Maybe a roll for very very small fast and stealthy vessels.
Tanks are tombs. Or turtles.
