Russia covered its submarines with anti-drone cages to protect against Ukraine's deep strikes, Western intel says
Russia has equipped submarines at the Novorossiysk naval base with anti-drone cages to protect against Ukrainian deep strikes, according to a Western intelligence assessment by Britain's defense ministry. The UK analysis, based on satellite imagery, indicates this is a preventive measure amid Ukraine's increasing drone attacks on the base. Anti-drone cages, typically used for tanks, are now applied to submarines, which is unusual.
