Since the beginning of the Ukraine Invasion in February, the Russian Navy’s four Improved-Kilo Class submarines in the Black Sea have been a regular sight in Sevastopol. The major naval base on Crimea’s west coast has been a starting point for many attacks on Ukraine. The Kilos have dedicated berths there, where they rearm with Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles.


Until recently it was not unusual to see three Kilos in the port at once, with one at sea. That has changed.

No amount of propaganda can hide that forever.
