In late July and early August 2025, Russia’s navy endured a cascade of failures. On July 26, reports confirmed that the Admiral Kuznetsov — Russia’s only aircraft carrier — would be scrapped or sold after eight years in dry dock. Four days later, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck near the Rybachiy submarine base, damaging piers and threatening nuclear subs.On August 3, Ukraine released leaked blueprints and crew data for the new Borey-A class submarine Knyaz Pozharsky, obtained via a major cyberattack. Then, on Navy Day, August 10, Russia abruptly cancelled its flagship parade in St. Petersburg after a single Ukrainian Liutyi drone was spotted, revealing deep vulnerabilities. These events underscore an unprecedented collapse in Russian naval capability.Support us directly as we bring you independent, up-to-date reporting on military news and global conflicts by clicking here: / @themilitaryshow #militarystrategy #militarydevelopments #militaryanalysis#themilitaryshow
