Satellite imagery captured by BlackSky in September shows Russian naval vessels at Novorossiysk dispersing unexpectedly, likely influenced by ongoing Ukrainian attacks targeting the Black Sea Fleet.
The imagery highlights that more than 50 vessels typically stationed at Novorossiysk are now exhibiting strange behavior of temporarily leaving and returning, revealing potential concerns for Russian naval operations.
This dispersal of naval vessels has not been definitively linked to specific reasons, but could be a strategic response to prevent losses from Ukrainian missile strikes.
The unusual movements of the fleet come after a series of significant Ukrainian offensives, suggesting a need for Russian naval forces to adopt new tactics in light of recent threats.
