Update to an update:
#Russia's #BlackSea #Navy left #Sevastopol on #Crimea for #Novorossiysk, fearing #Ukraine's #Naval #drones
But where a Russian #submarine became a target of a brand new Ukrainian subsurface #drone recently:

So Russia does what?
It sinks barges to block entry to its #port
So safe from drones?
Perhaps
But also meaning:
Russia is surrendering the Black Sea to Ukraine
Maybe drones can't get in... but no ships can get out 🤪

SUBMARINE DESTROYED: AMAZING STRIKE IN #NOVOROSSIYSK Vlog 1259: War in #Ukraine
For the first time in history, #SubSeaBaby underwater #drones detonated a Russian Project 636.3 #Varshavyanka class #submarine (#NATO designation: #Kilo). The explosion caused critical damage, effectively putting the submarine out of action," the Security Service said.

#Novorossiysk Was #Russia’s Last Sanctuary. It Just Fell.

«[The] sense of safety ended yesterday (Dec 15)
Confirmation came from the highest levels and was quickly corroborated by open-source intelligence.
The Institute for the Study of War (#ISW) reported that #Ukrainian forces conducted an unmanned underwater vehicle (#UUV) strike against a #Russian submarine — the first confirmed attack of its kind in #NavalHistory — on the night of December 14–15»

Satellite images of the #Ukrainian attack on the #Russian submarine in #Novorossiysk.
It is hard to assess the exact damage caused but it is clearly visible that the pier was damaged. Thus, the amount of the explosives on the #Sub_Sea_Baby drone was probably significant.
The submarine's stem likely sustained damage.

I posted a video in September of a surface #navy #drone navigating it's way into a #port in #Russia and detonating on target, in #Tuapse:

What changed in 3 months?
Now #Ukraine fields *underwater* #navalDrones
Here, up the coast in the #BlackSea, at #Novorossiysk
No countermeasures. No gunfire. No warning
#Warships (the target was a #submarine) sitting in port, then boom
The advances are fearsome
Don't mess with Ukraine
