This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia has started using submarines to patrol the Black Sea after suffering major naval losses, according to a Ukrainian official.
Dmitry Pletenchuk, a spokesman for Ukraine’s southern military command, made the statement on Ukrainian national television on Monday, per Ukrainska Pravda.
Pletenchuk’s statements came after Russia’s navy suffered a series of major losses in the Black Sea.
Ukraine has deployed drones, missiles, and other weaponry to go after Russian warships, including smaller vessels like tugboats.
Russia spent twenty years building its first Yasen-class submarine, also known as the Severodvinsk class, which entered service in 2013, but the pace has quickened since then.
This has alarmed Western authorities, as they worry it could allow the subs to reach and target key locations in Europe and North America.
