Why Russia Dominates Eastern Europe on the Naval Front
Briefly

"Building on decades of strategic planning, geopolitical maneuvering, and military investment, Russia has risen as a global military superpower. The Russian Navy, in particular, has cemented its position as one of strongest navies in the world, especially in Eastern Europe."
"Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 gave way for a warm deepwater port in the form of Sevastopol, further increasing Russia's power within the region."
"The newest additions to Russia's fleet are fairly impressive, replacing older Soviet-era warships and submarines. The Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates... are equipped with advanced missile systems and designed for air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and surface combat operations."
"The Borei-class ballistic missile submarines are... enabling the Russian Navy to resume strategic patrols in southern latitudes that supposedly had not seen a Russian missile submarine for 20 years."
