He added that such work requires a long-term vision of future maritime challenges and threats.<\/p>\n<p>Patrushev provided no further details on the new naval strategy<\/p>\n<p>Russia currently operates the world&#8217;s third most powerful navy, according to most public rankings, behind <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/china\/\">China<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/united-states\/\">United States<\/a>. However, the fleet has suffered a string of losses during the war against Ukraine, particularly in the <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/black-sea\/\">Black Sea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since September 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\">Ukraine<\/a> has used naval kamikaze drones to target the Russian Black Sea Fleet, destroying several vessels. The latest strike sank a Mangust-class patrol boat off the coast of occupied Crimea using a domestically produced <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/magura-drone\/\">Magura drone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine&#8217;s campaign has drawn on the <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/opinion-ukraines-naval-drones-are-taking-over-the-black-sea-2\/\">Jeune \u00c9cole<\/a> naval doctrine, leveraging small, low-cost drones against larger warships. After losing its conventional surface fleet early in the war, Ukraine turned to developing its own naval drones.<\/p>\n<p>The approach has proven effective. <\/p>\n<p>In April 2022, Ukraine sank the <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/nyt-biden-administration-was-surprised-angry-by-ukraines-surprise-sinking-of-the-moskva-in-2022\/\">Moskva<\/a>, the fleet&#8217;s flagship, with <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/neptune-missiles\/\">Neptune missiles<\/a>. It has since struck key naval bases and reportedly disabled or destroyed around a third of Russia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/black-sea-fleet\/\">Black Sea Fleet<\/a>. The General Staff <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/general-staff-russia-has-lost-997-120-troops-in-ukraine-since-feb-24-2022\/\">said<\/a> in June that 29 Russian vessels had been taken out of action.<\/p>\n<p>In response, <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/russia\/\">Russia<\/a> began <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/black-sea-fleet-changes-its-residence-due-to-ukrainian-drone-attacks-russian-official-says\/\">pulling back<\/a> ships from occupied <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/crimea\/\">Crimea<\/a> to the port of Novorossiysk in late 2024 to shield them from further attacks. The redeployment limited Moscow&#8217;s ability to blockade Ukrainian <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/grain-export\/\">grain exports<\/a>, though Russian naval capabilities in other regions remain largely intact.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-bookmark-card\"><a class=\"kg-bookmark-container\" href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/as-ukraine-russia-agree-to-ceasefire-at-sea-russias-battered-black-sea-fleet-is-set-to-get-a-relieve\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-content\">\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-title\">As Ukraine, Russia agree to ceasefire at sea, Moscow\u2019s battered Black Sea Fleet is set to get a reprieve<\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-description\">The White House on March 25 announced that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to \u201celiminate the use of force\u201d in the Black Sea, returning the spotlight to a theater of battle that has been relatively quiet for more than a year.
