After a successful attack by Ukrainian underwater naval drones on a Russian submarine in Novorossiysk, the Russians are trying to improve the protection system of permanent basing points of their Black Sea Fleet.
However, the enemy is failing to do so, as they can no longer invent anything fundamentally new.
This was stated live on the national telethon “United News” by the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk.
“In fact, it’s hard to invent anything new. We have already seen everything, from submarines painted on the pier to boom barriers. What is particularly interesting about this case is that the base is indeed equipped with various means of detecting underwater and surface situations. How such a device managed to get there is, so to speak, a ‘challenge with a big asterisk.’ And selectively hitting a specific target. Because you see that along the route there were other targets, but it (the submarine — ed.) was chosen deliberately, because submarines are the most difficult targets”, — he said.
After the successful Ukrainian attack, the Russians are trying to come up with new additional ways to protect their warships at permanent bases, but cannot offer anything fundamentally new.
“Of course, after that they carried out internal work, so to speak, regarding this incident. But I cannot say that something has changed radically. Because everything that could be applied there, they had already applied long ago”, — Dmytro Pletenchuk emphasized.
