EXPOSED: Ukraine finds Russia’s fatal flaw and turns up the heat | Battle Plans
UKRAINE has turned the Black Sea into a graveyard for Putin’s pride-and-joy fleet — using drones, missiles and stealthy commandos instead of frigates and destroyers.
In this week’s explosive episode of Battle Plans Exposed, former intelligence officer Philip Ingram pulls apart the Kremlin’s crumbling sea power and shows how Kyiv’s tech-savvy strikes are driving Russia from its once-safe harbours.
Ingram says Russia’s “naval dominance is being challenged like never before” as new footage reveals another hammer blow to the Black Sea Fleet.
Ukraine’s drone operators and special forces are seen battering occupied Crimea — smashing a cruise-missile carrier, damaging a Bayan M-class warship, and torching fuel and ammunition dumps.
In this latest episode, Ingram explains how Ukraine’s attacks have crippled Russia’s radar systems, command posts and even its GLONASS satellite network.
These are “difficult for Russia to repair” and have a massive impact on its ability to coordinate across the theatre, he says.
The pressure is so relentless that Sevastopol — once the pride of Russia’s fleet — is no longer safe.
“A series of audacious Ukrainian attacks has made it a very dangerous place for the Russian Navy,” Ingram notes, with vessels dispersed to Novorossiysk and even a makeshift base in Georgia’s breakaway region of Abkhazia.
Before the invasion, Russia’s Black Sea Fleet had about 74 warships.
But by March 2024, Ingram says it had been “functionally inactive” after losing a third of its vessels — sunk or damaged by Ukraine’s drones and missiles. It’s a humiliating retreat.
He points back to Snake Island as the moment that turned the tide.
