This is itself an admission russia essentially has no functional navy.

Barely anything’s covered. They only netted the top of the superstructure, and they had to go under all the antennas to not screw up the signals.

And the drones are boats, so....

The drone boats launch aerial drones as well now.

Edit: And apparently rockets now too. They're floating death machines.

This looks hilarious. Most of the ship seems tonot be covered by the drone net. And doesn't Ukraine use sea drones too?

Most critically, the sensors and antennas (you know, the things without which the vessel is functionally useless) are all exposed.

I work with the army for about 30 years, and this demonstrates one of the greatest things I learned.

Namely: If you want to find the one person in the room who has no idea what is going on, find the highest ranking officer. They really do live in a separate reality disconnected from logic and reason.
