Despite possessing no warships of its own, Ukraine has managed to gain advantage against the vastly more powerful Russian Navy in the Black Sea, reports the New York Times. According to Vice Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa, commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Ukraine has broken Russia’s naval blockade of Odesa through innovative tactics and Western military aid.
Neizhpapa explained in an interview how Ukraine has negated some of Russia’s naval superiority. Although Russia still dominates the skies and launches missile strikes from its ships, Ukraine’s use of maritime drones, anti-ship missiles provided by allies, and targeted special operations have blunted Russia’s edge.
