russia doubles the number of combat dolphins guarding Sevastopol Bay – Naval News
The dolphins are kept at the entrance to the bay, and their task is to protect the base of the russian Black Sea Fleet from military divers
The russian military may have doubled the number of combat dolphins guarding Sevastopol Bay.
Source. This was reported by Naval News, an independent publication of naval news.
The author of Naval News makes this assumption on the grounds that the number of units in the bay where the dolphins are kept has increased.
"The materials Naval News has seen show that the number of dolphin pens has increased. The analysis shows that the number of animals has increased from 3-4 to 6-7," the expert writes.
The author explains that the dolphins are kept at the entrance to the bay, and their task is to protect the base of the russian Black Sea Fleet from enemy military divers.
The training of combat dolphins in the Black Sea was started by the Soviet Navy. In 2014, after russia seized Crimea, this program was revived.
The Naval News article is not only about dolphins, but also describes the defense system of the Sevastopol bay in detail, with a map.
During the war, the Ukrainian armed forces have already made several attempts to attack the Black Sea Fleet base, including several successful ones, but all of them were carried out with the help of air and sea drones, not with the help of swimmers, which, according to Naval News, are the ones that the combat dolphins are supposed to fight.
Background. Earlier we wrote about this in the article "russia deployed two units for fighting dolphins in Sevastopol Bay".
