Russia has expanded its use of anti-drone nets to protect submarines at the Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base in Kamchatka, according to open-source intelligence reports. The measure reflects growing concerns about drone vulnerabilities, even far from the conflict zone in Ukraine.
Russia has expanded its use of anti-drone nets at the Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base in the Kamchatka Peninsula, according to open-source intelligence reports. The measures, which involve covering submarine pens with netting to protect against drone attacks, follow successful Ukrainian drone operations that have targeted Russian military assets, including naval bases. Similar anti-drone cages were previously observed at the Black Sea Fleet's base in Novorossiysk, as The Zioneer reported in July, where satellite imagery showed cages installed over submarines. The Rybachiy base, located on the Pacific coast, hosts Russia's Pacific Fleet nuclear submarines. The move underscores Moscow's growing concern about the reach of drone threats far from the main theater of war in Ukraine.
