The Day Of The Russian Navy Turned Out To Be A Disgrace

Putin was hiding in the Admiralty courtyard.

Traditionally in Russia, Navy Day, which falls on July 27, has been celebrated with parades from Kaliningrad to Nakhodka, fireworks, mass festivities and concerts by military bands.

In the fourth year of the great war, with the Black Sea Fleet virtually destroyed, the celebration has slipped to modest events, away from the sea and the people.

There have been no ship displays. Apparently, because of the fear of Ukrainian naval drones. Navy Day in St. Petersburg, where Putin was present, was held in the backyard of the Admiralty.

During the war in Ukraine, Russia lost the Black Sea Fleet's flagship missile cruiser Moskva, the large landing ships Caesar Kunikov, Saratov, Novocherkassk, Olenegorsk Miner, and the frigates Admiral Essen, Admiral Makarov, and Admiral Grigorovich.

The Northern Fleet's flagship and the only Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" after 7 years of unsuccessful repairs will be scrapped or sold (for scrap metal).
