UK Intelligence: Russia considers Ukraine’s anti-ship capabilities as key threat to its Black Sea Fleet

0 min read

The ministry also said that Russia will continue to prioritize attacks on Ukraine's anti-ship weapons but the campaign is highly likely to be undermined due to “dated intelligence, poor planning, and top-down approach to operations."
