Russia covers Kamchatka subs with anti-drone nets, satellite photos show
Russia has expanded the use of anti-drone nets to protect submarines at the Rybachiy naval base on the Kamchatka Peninsula, thousands of kilometers from Ukraine and the reach of its strike drones, Business Insider reported on Aug. 6.
Russia has deployed anti-drone nets at the Rybachiy naval base on the Kamchatka Peninsula, covering over half a dozen submarines, according to satellite images from Aug. 4, Business Insider reported. The base, located over 7,200 kilometers east of Ukraine, is a central hub for Russia’s Pacific Fleet, hosting ballistic missile and attack submarines.
This deployment, which was first observed in June, suggests Russia views its vulnerability to drone strikes as extending beyond the immediate front lines to its Pacific Fleet, reflecting a preemptive measure in response to Ukraine's increased ability to strike targets farther from the front line.
