Russia is forced to change the routes of its ships due to the threat of Ukrainian drone strikes. The report from the Institute for the Study of War shows that Russian ships no longer pass through the Black Sea and choose a route through the Atlantic Ocean, despite the longer journey. The presence of Russian ships in the Mediterranean Sea confirms this information. Earlier, a Ukrainian special unit successfully attacked aerial targets with maritime drones, prompting the Russian military to develop drones aimed at destroying Ukrainian unmanned vehicles. This could alter the situation in the Black Sea and reduce the dominance of Ukrainian forces.
