Despite losing another warship to a country without much of a navy, Russia's Black Sea Fleet is still in the fight, Western intel says

• Ukrainian forces last week said they used exploding drone boats to sink a Russian warship.
• It marked the latest blow for Moscow's Black Sea Fleet, which has been beaten down by Kyiv.
• But Western intelligence says the fleet can still perform its main duties in the Black Sea.

Russia's Black Sea Fleet has taken a beating from Ukraine over the course of the war, but Western intelligence suggests that Moscow still maintains the ability to conduct naval operations in the region.
