Today I was looking through the list of ships that remain in Crimea. In fact, it can really be called "remnants". There is a patrol ship there, 5 large landing ships, including our Konstantin Olshansky, which remained there, all of them are under repair. They are not in service as of now. There are no submarines there, except for the Rostov-on-Don, which was destroyed. There are interesting moments.

But it is mostly a watchdog fleet, there are no combat units there. Mostly everything is located in Novorossiysk, and this is the only base where they can be stationed. There were attempts to put them in Tuapse and Sochi, but something went wrong. In Ochamchira, which is Abkhazia, the coast guard is mostly located there. So there are not many locations, mostly Novorossiysk. Within the Azov-Black Sea region, they have little choice

According to him, the threat of missile attacks still remains, as the Black Sea Fleet still has eight cruise missile carriers.

To recap

The mayor of Novorossiysk, Andrey Kravchenko, said that unmanned boats attacked the city on Wednesday night.
