Preventive measures: Russians try to protect the Black Ship with Barge - Britain's intelligence
According to analysts, they managed to consider in detail satellite images with Russian objects. They can see the appearance of four barges, which are installed at the entrance to the seaport. This is one of the safety measures. "A recent image analysis has discovered four barges located at the entrance to the Novorossiysk Sea Port of the Black Sea Fleet. It is an attempt to strengthen the port defense against Ukrainian surface drones without crew," the statement reads.
Separately, the British intelligence added that the seaport in Novorossiysk is now playing a crucial role in the protection of the Black Sea Fleet and what remained from it. Due to the successful attacks of the Ukrainian side, the Kremlin even decided to change the Navy Commander. Admiral Viktor Sokolov was resigned and appointed a new person in the hope that he will be able to somehow change the situation.
"His successor, Vice Admiral Sergey Pinchuk, probably seeks to increase the chances of Russian vessels to survive, taking additional preventive and defense measures, including narrowing of the aisles to port structures,"-summed up in British intelligence. We will remind, on March 29 it was reported that intelligence of Britain showed the consequences of blows in the Crimea, after which the combat capability of the Black Sea Fleet again decreased.
