The Russian fleet left Crimea: how the Ukrainian Navy forced the enemy to retreat.

According to inkorr.com: The Ukrainian Navy forced the Russian fleet to leave Crimea. Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk reported that the Russian occupiers abandoned the peninsula, leaving only auxiliary forces, while all combat ships were relocated to other ports.

'This is vessel support, the so-called auxiliary fleet, units that cannot be called combat, but are part of the fleet, performing tasks to support its operations. Small boats are also playing an important role in Crimea, which they use to guard the bases, patrol the water area, and conduct anti-diversion defense.'

According to Pletenchuk, only small boats of the types 'Hrachonok', 'Raptor', and others, crewed by up to 10 people, remain in the peninsula. Although these boats are capable of going to sea to perform tasks, their armament is insufficient.

'This is a way to adapt to the conditions created for them by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They have also periodically lost these boats, especially during rotations in certain coastal areas that are inaccessible to road transport,' the spokesman noted.

The Russian combat ships left Crimea after one of the patrol boats was mined by Ukrainian drones, leading to mine damage. Due to the successful actions of the Ukrainian Navy and drones, the Russian fleet was forced to abandon its Crimean bases.

The Ukrainian Navy demonstrated a high level of training, forcing the Russian fleet to retreat from Crimea after the drone incident. This indicates the effectiveness of Ukrainian defensive efforts on the maritime front. The reduction of threat and the successful removal of Russian forces improve security in the Black Sea.
