Russia's Black Sea Fleet has relocated many of its warships from the Sevastopol naval base amid repeated Ukrainian assaults, marking the first official confirmation of such a strategic shift. Dmitry Rogozin, a Russian-installed senator, highlighted the urgent need for enhanced drone technology and satellite systems.

Ukraine's attacks in the Black Sea have compelled Moscow to move its naval assets to Novorossiisk. Rogozin commented on this development in Moskovsky Komsomolets, urging improvements in drone units and electronic warfare to stay competitive.

'A military-technical revolution is unfolding,' Rogozin noted, underscoring the importance of adapting to rapid technological change. Russia has progressed in drone tech since 2022 but requires faster innovation to meet new warfare demands.
