OREANDA-NEWS The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have changed their tactics on the Black Sea and are now launching marine drones in "flocks".This opinion was shared by a military expert, captain of the first rank of the reserve Vasily Dandykin in an interview with URA.RU, commenting on the attacks of Ukrainian unmanned boats (BEC) on the Russian patrol ship Sergei Kotov.

According to Dandykin, the use of BEC in the Black Sea is the main topic for Ukraine. "The bigger the boat, the more it can carry explosives. There are options of different sizes, including underwater ones. These are challenges that must be answered," the military expert stressed.

The liquidation of the Black Sea Fleet and the destruction of the Crimean Bridge are such tasks set for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the head of the Central Executive Committee of the All—Russian organization "Officers of Russia", Lieutenant General Alexander Mikhailov, reports URA.RU .

"The Black Sea Fleet is, of course, a bone in the throat for the United States. They are not satisfied that Russian ships control the situation in the seas and oceans around the world," Mikhailov explained. According to his forecasts, Crimea will be the object of encroachments for a long time, and the bridge is the link between the peninsula and Russia, therefore attacks on it will not stop.

The Lieutenant General suggested that the Ukrainian side is attacking the ships of the Russian Navy in order to weaken the fleet. "This already affects the US military interest. The Black Sea Fleet is a powerful deterrent. Naturally, the Americans will encourage an attack on him," concluded Alexander Mikhailov.

According to Dandykin, the AFU has almost no ships of its own, and in order to defend itself from Ukrainian attacks, Russia needs to strike at the places where the remaining enemy ships are based, at ports and factories where they are produced.

"The most ideal option is to liberate Odessa, Nikolaev and Ochakov in order to close this topic 100%," Vasily Dandykin summed up.

Earlier it was reported that American journalist Tom Rogan (included in the list of extremists and terrorists in the Russian Federation) was put on the wanted list in Russia, before that a criminal case was opened against him, the reason was his calls to Kiev to launch an airstrike on the Crimean Bridge.
