 Russia deploys more border patrol vessels than warships to Black Sea. Russian border patrol vessels have outnumbered Russia's Black Sea Fleet naval vessels in the Black Sea for more than a month now. Dmitro Pletenshuk, spokesman for the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this. In fact, we see that, for more than a month, there have been more border patrol vessels at sea than Russian Black Sea Fleet naval vessels. While there are usually more than 10 units around the Kursh Strait, around the so-called Kursh Bridge, we have seen more warships only once. During our sea bridge exercise, on the last day, they put 15 combat units out to sea and quickly brought them back. He added, the Ukrainian Navy spokesman noted that border patrol vessels are usually deployed around the Kursh Strait. He stressed that Russian ships are trying to stay in the eastern and north-eastern parts of the Black Sea, that is, closer to their officially recognized shores and the Kursh Strait. It should be noted that they have not been going out to sea so often. Now they are not located in the southwestern part of the Black Sea. For example, there are three units at sea at the moment. If you remember, there used to be a lot more of them. There are no carriers at all. Was this the result of our constant work? Most likely, yes. We can't say for sure because we can't say what's in the minds of Russian tacticians, he said.
