Ukraine and the Sea

Ukraine's Military says in the past month, it's Hit more than 130 Russian Vessels in the Sea of Azov and more than 80 in the Black Sea.

"Russia overestimated its own naval power and didn't expect these measures from us," said Dmytro Pletenchuk, the Spokesman for Ukraine's Navy. "Now they're trying to catch up with our technology. But it takes them six months and we keep improving. Russia is now at a logistics dead end."

Russia still Controls the Entire Coastline of the Sea of Azov, which is an Inland Sea. Yet Russia has Effectively Lost Ccontrol of the Water, Losing it to a Country that doesn't currently have Traditional Naval Ships or Sailors at Sea. The Ukrainian Navy has been Overachieving throughout the War.

The Ukraine Navy is the Most Successful Navy in the world, without having a Ship get underway for a day. Yet Ukraine still Managed to Fight BBack, Damaging or Sinking more than Two Dozen Russian Ships and Submarines, mostly by Firing Missiles from the Ukrainian Mainland. Russia then Retreated, Pulling Bback Most of its Warships to Russian Ports on the Eeastern side of the Black Sea.

But Ukraine has gone on the Offensive again, becoming the First Country in the World to Develop and Deploy Powerful Sea Drones, that Operate both on the Water's Surface and Underwater. This is the Advent of UUunmanned UUndersea Vessels, Unmanned Surface Vessels. They're very Small, very Hard to Ttrack. Russia can Control the Whole Coastline and Not have Visibility to what's going on in the Middle of the Inland Sea.

The Russian Navy is Striking International Cargo Ships that go to Pick-Up Ukrainian Corn, Wheat, and Sunflower Oil in and Around the Port of Odessa. Ten Ssailors were Killed in One Recent Attack, and now most International Ships have been Sscared away.

"These Ships are Not even Ukrainian. They're Only Guilty of coming to Ukraine. Ukraine, which Depends Heavily on Agriculture, is now at the Peak of its Harvest Season and has Lost its Main Export Route, Sshe said. Ukraine is now looking to Export by Land, though this is a far Less Efficient Alternative, and Ukraine's Beleaguered Economy is Expected to Suffer another Hit.
