This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Institute for the Study of War cited satellite images dated October 1 and 2 and shared by OSINT analyst MT Anderson to support the claim.
But one Kilo-class submarine and four Russian landing ships were still stationed near Sevastopol, the ISW said, based on satellite footage from October 2.
A Project 22160 patrol ship was also seen for the first time on October 2 near the port of Feodosia in eastern Crimea, suggesting that Russian forces may be relocating navy units from Sevastopol to facilities farther to the rear, the ISW said.
The UK’s Ministry of Defence made a similar point on Monday, saying the threats of Ukrainian attacks likely caused some of the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s operations to relocate to the port of Novorossiysk on Russia’s western coast.
Vessel transfers from Sevastopol to other bases have fluctuated since the start of the conflict, especially after Ukraine’s attacks, but tend to go back to their regular patterns, Iverson wrote on social media platform X.
Ukrainian attacks are part of a “sophisticated, multi-domain counteroffensive” designed to isolate Crimea and make it “untenable” for Russian forces to stay there, Ben Hodges, a retired lieutenant general and former commander of US Army Europe, told Insider last month.
