Satellite images confirming information previously published by the Ukrainian Navy that many ships of the Russian fleet left the port of Novorossiysk for the Black Sea. OSINT researcher MT Andersdon notes that the most powerful of them – the Grigorovich-class frigates – have moved further southeast, closer to Gelendzhik. OSINT researcher HI Sutton believes that the reason for such a redeployment is the dispersal of the fleet in the face of the threat of the use of British Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory.

If it quaks like a duck… It’s a sitting duck.
Having to operate your fleet dispensed like this for a prolonged period is a fucking nightmare. They can’t go to Chrimea, this is the last place other than the black sea itself. Aaaaannnnd I don’t see Russian warships sustaining high levels of operational use like that.
As long as the ships stay in port they shouldn’t be attacked, they are doing nothing but drain salaries and maintenance. Use missiles on actual threats and money-bringing assets.
Imagine if Nato didn’t submit their plans to the kremlin for approval first.This image would be a bunch of sunken ships instead of an empty port.
I wonder if they went to that base in disputed Georgia..
They are all shitting their pants and heading for the hills.
The only place they can really go now is the new harbor in occupied Georgia. And given that the Northern Fleet is being targeted, I wonder when Russia just asks Turkey for permission to traverse the straights and the Pacific Fleet get a bit bigger? Vladivostok is the only safe harbor in all of Russia at this point. 🤣
I’m sure Putin is thanking Biden for letting Russia move all important assets out of range.
