During a visit to the Russia-occupied Sevastopol, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu inspected the Black Sea Fleet and discussed strategies against Ukrainian naval drones, including ordering exercises to repel such attacks "every day, day and night." Reports suggest that the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was removed from his position in mid-February, possibly as part of efforts to strengthen the fleet's defense against Ukrainian strikes, with increased firepower and training to counter air and naval drones. The Russian Ministry of Defense has signaled its intention to bolster the Black Sea Fleet's capabilities. Meanwhile, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, emphasizes the growing importance of unmanned attack systems and drones as the "main strike weapon" in military strategy, highlighting the confrontation between drones and Electronic Warfare (EW) as a key focus. Syrskyi aims for the highest defense industrial output in Ukraine's history.
