Novorossiysk Naval Base Emptied of Ships — Fear of ATACMS/Storm Shadow or Training Excercise?

Video Summary

A recent satellite image shows that the Nova Rist Naval Base in Ukraine is empty of ships, sparking speculation about the potential threat of Western missiles and the Russian Navy’s response. The base was likely cleared to prevent a catastrophic strike from Ukraine’s Storm Shadow missiles, which have been used against Russian ships in the past. The Russian Navy has reportedly opened a new base in Ochtyry, south of Nova Rist, and some ships may be hiding in the civilian section of the base. The Black Sea Fleet, which includes a potential Getra class frigate, may be patrolling the area or on a mission to target Ukraine. The exact movements of the Russian fleet are unknown, but the potential threat of Western missiles and the risk of strike has likely led to its repositioning. The Russian Navy may be exercising caution to protect its ships and air bases, given the limitations of its air defense systems against Western missiles.
