After the death of the “legendary” missile cruiser “Moskva”, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and twenty other ships, the Russians began to hide the remaining their troughs in distant ports - Novorossiysk, Kerch, Ochamchira. They transported at least three MRKs (small missile ships) from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea.
The situation with the protection of four submarines was more complicated. After the submarine was damaged by a missile attack at the port, the Russians decided to hide them. But where?
And now it has become clear: the submarines of the «famous» Red Banner Black Sea Fleet of Russia are hidden in a half-submerged state, which is considered a disgrace among the “real sea wolves” that Russian sailors considered themselves to be... in peacetime.
What should they do?!
Where to go?!
They would be happy to withdraw the entire fleet through the Istanbul Strait to avoid its complete destruction.
But!!! Who will let them in?!
I would not be surprised if by the end of the war the Russians are left without a fleet in the Black Sea. It is possible that the Russians themselves will sink the remaining ships, as happened during the Crimean War.
Even if they don't sink, the war is over for the "glorious" Russian Black Sea Fleet. It ended in unprecedented disgrace.
Nowhere has Russia’s “unfading maritime glory” sank as deeply as in the Black Sea
