„Mad Max” pe Marea Neagră: cum încearcă Rusia să-și apere petrolierele de dronele Ucrainei
Russia is implementing improvised maritime protection methods for oil tankers amid increased Ukrainian drone attacks. Tankers like Caruzo and Rizvel are now equipped with nets, metal structures, and water tanks to shield against drone strikes. These measures reflect the growing threat from Ukrainian forces targeting Russian maritime infrastructure. Recent attacks on Novorossiisk, a key Russian port, have intensified, prompting the installation of additional defenses. The situation has led to rising shipping costs and insurance challenges, as more shipowners avoid risky routes. The U.S. has urged Ukraine to refrain from targeting non-Russian tankers in the region.
