It can be stated that unmanned vessels have shown their highest efficiency, and large ships cannot effectively resist unmanned vessels.Speed, night, stealth and the number of unmanned vessels participating in the attack resolve issues with thermal imagers and additional fire weapons on board and in general with everything. The operational range of Ukrainian unmanned vessels is getting Greater. At the start of 2023 they could only made to the western coast of Crimea, and by early 2024 they were sinking Russian ships off Gaspura and Feodosia. In such trend they will reach Novorossiysk.
It is necessary to accept this fact, move all large ships beyond the effective range of the unmanned vessels, close the mooring areas with engineering means to prevent the unmanned vessels from damaging ships at the berths, transfer the tasks of the Black Sea Fleet to small and high-speed boats and boats of the "Raptor" type, submarines and aircraft. Along the way, around the clock testing somewhere in Vladivostok various options for defensive weapons, detection, guidance and electronic warfare equipment on existing Navy ships, endlessly simulating unmanned vessels attacks in practice. Russia needed to simulate not attacks by submarines of a hypothetical enemy, but attacks by high-speed, small-sized targets with television guidance.
