  • In over two years, Ukrainian forces have devastated Russia's Black Sea fleet.
  • In lieu of warships, Ukraine uses unmanned drones and anti-ship missiles to thwart Russia's navy.
  • The barrage of attacks forced Russia to shift warships away from a prized naval base in Crimea.

Ukraine has inflicted significant damage on the Russian Black Sea Fleet, wrecking many Russian vessels in over two years of war.

Since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Ukrainians have destroyed or damaged roughly half of the Russian fleet's warships, including one submarine, per publicly available information.
