Russian Black Sea Fleet Attacked Zhou Weizheng： It has little impact on the overall situation of Russia and Ukraine.

Why did the recent Ukrainian attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet succeed frequently? The increasing battle damage of the Russian Black Sea Fleet will have an impact on the situation in Russia and Ukraine?

The Ukrainian side said on March 24th that the Ukrainian Defence Forces had hit the landing ships Yamal and Azov of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, a communication center and many infrastructures.

Analysis of Ukraine’s recent combat operations, military observer Zhou Weizheng believes that this is to further weaken the Russian military’s logistics supply capacity in relevant directions.

Zhou Weizheng: The Ukrainian army’s recent operational focus is to crack down on Russia’s logistics supply links, using air-to-ground cruise missiles, drones and unmanned boats to crack down on Russian refineries, thermal power plants, material and oil warehouses and other infrastructure. Landing ships, as an important supply vehicle in the south of Russia, have also become the key targets of the Ukrainian army.

If the attack did injure two Russian landing ships, as the Ukrainian army said, it would add insult to injury to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which would further weaken the Russian military’s logistics supply capacity in the direction of Zaporoze and Hellson. If the Crimean Bridge is hit again in the next step, then Russia’s logistics supply will become a major issue affecting the trend of the situation.

It has little impact on the overall situation of Russia and Ukraine.

Zhou Weizheng said that although the Russian Black Sea Fleet has been damaged in recent wars, it will not have a major impact on the overall war situation in Russia and Ukraine.

Zhou Weizheng: Judging from the current overall situation, Russia’s attacks are mainly concentrated in the direction of Donetsk and Zaporoge, and the amphibious landing operation in the sea direction has basically been abandoned.

Although the losses caused by Ukraine to the Russian Black Sea Fleet are increasing, it is difficult to have a fundamental impact on the situation in Russia and Ukraine.

How to defend against suicide unmanned boats?

After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, unmanned boats created a brand-new style of asymmetric warfare in modern naval warfare, which also made how to defend against suicide unmanned boat attacks a topic of great concern.

In this regard, Zhou Weizheng analyzed.

Zhou Weizheng: One of the important reasons why the unmanned boats of the Ukrainian army are outstanding in actual combat is that the Russian army lacks sufficient and powerful early warning aircraft and drones, and its full-time and all-round battlefield situation awareness ability is relatively weak. The attacked ships have single defense means and limited capabilities.

In the future, to deal with unmanned boats, it is necessary to improve the joint reconnaissance and search ability of land, sea and air, grasp the specific information of the unmanned boat’s release base or the mother ship it carries, and then use long-range precision firepower to attack and destroy it from the source or during the voyage. If there is a "fish escaping from the net", electronic jamming can be carried out on the unmanned boat, its communication link can be cut off, and the sensor on the boat can be blinded. At the same time, laser and high-precision near-anti-gun system can be used to intercept it.
