Ukraine Strike Could Ground Two Russian Frigates in the Black Sea

Satellite imagery and OSINT sources claim Ukraine’s Aug. 12 strike on Novorossiysk damaged two Russian Project 11356R frigates, Admiral Makarov and Admiral Essen, potentially knocking out their missile launchers and sensors and sidelining them for up to a year, though independent verification is lacking; the attack also affected port infrastructure and water supply, with Kyiv saying drones and Neptune missiles were used and Russia declaring a regional emergency.

Ukraine launches a 15‑system strike on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet base in Novorossiysk

Ukraine says it hit Russia's Black Sea Fleet base at Novorossiysk with a coordinated salvo of more than 15 weapon systems, including Palianytsia drones, Neptune missiles and naval drones, targeting warships and port infrastructure. Reported hits included two Kalibr frigates (Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov) and the Vasily Bykov, along with a radar, the Sheskharis oil terminal and several berths. Independent analysts say damage did not appear catastrophic; Moscow had moved its fleet to Novorossiysk after earlier losses around Crimea. Zelenskyy framed the operation as a milestone in multi‑system coordination rather than a decisive battlefield win.

Drone Threats Drive Nets Around Russia’s Nuclear Submarines

Satellite imagery shows Russia installing nets and counter-UAS cages over submarines at two bases—Rybachiy in Kamchatka and Novorossiysk on the Black Sea—reflecting a broader shift to force-protection against drone threats amid Ukraine-related hostilities. The measures cover Borei/Borei-A SSBNs and Kilo-class submarines and align with growing global counter-drone defenses as unmanned threats target naval assets and critical infrastructure.

The aircraft was targeted at Yeysk airbase, enabling Ukraine's naval drone to successfully attack the submarine undetected, highlighting vulnerabilities in Russian military infrastructure.
