Putin fortifies nuclear base, now Zelensky's drones can't bomb Russia's best submarines?

Published on Aug 09, 2026 11:39 pm IST

Putin is putting Russia’s Pacific nuclear fleet behind anti-drone nets as satellite images reveal fresh defenses at Rybachiy Naval Base in Kamchatka. The fortified berths protect Borei-class ballistic-missile submarines—cornerstones of Moscow’s sea-based nuclear deterrent—showing just how seriously Russia now fears Ukrainian deep strikes thousands of kilometres from the front. Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web proved high-value Russian targets are vulnerable far inside the country, but Kyiv now faces a major new hurdle after reports that Elon Musk restricted Starlink support for deep drone attacks. Has Moscow made its deadliest fleet untouchable?
