The Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet has been placed on high combat alert. The Russian Federation’s command has reportedly ordered an increase in the frequency of patrols in the area and intensified preparations for potential threats from the sea.
This was reported by the ATESH movement.
According to the partisans, the Black Sea Fleet command has ordered military units to significantly increase the frequency of patrols in the waters.
Personnel have also been instructed to conduct more active training exercises to repel threats from the sea. Separately, they are to practice coordination between UAV operators, air defense units, electronic warfare teams, and patrol boat crews.
According to ATESH, the Russian command expects the Ukrainian Defense Forces to step up their activities around symbolic dates. Specifically, this refers to October 8—the anniversary of the strike on the Crimean Bridge.
The partisan group notes that the Russian Navy fears new large-scale attacks leading up to this date. At the same time, according to their information, potential strikes will not necessarily be directed specifically at the bridge.
There is also talk of possible combined strikes against ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their bases, along logistics routes, and against vessels of the “shadow fleet.”
ATESH emphasized that the information about the increased readiness was relayed by agents among military personnel and staff officers.
Earlier, Dmytro Pletenchuk , a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy, said that Russian warships have not left their harbors in the Black Sea for the fourth consecutive month.
However, Russia continues to use aircraft and drones, so Ukraine is also unable to fully control the waters.
