The russian Black Sea Fleet hid some of its ships among civilian vessels in Novorossiysk, the Crimean Wind monitoring group reported, citing satellite imagery data.
A high-resolution satellite image shows the patrol ship of project 1135 "Burevestnik", the large landing ship of project 775 and two missile ships on an air cushion of project "Sivuch". From the military harbor they have been moved to wide piers No. 1 and No. 2, as well as to the Eastern pier.
At the same time, most of the warships left the port of Novorossiysk and according to Crimean Wind, they are currently located in the Gelendzhik area, further south along the coast of Krasnodar Krai in russia.
According to some reports, the russian Black Sea Fleet ships may have been taken out to sea from the bay because the russians fear a Ukrainian attack, with submarines now operating in a submerged mode, out of sight.
It is not publicly known if the russians fear an attack by Ukrainian naval drones, or if the russians are rattled by potential intelligence of the US permitting deeper strikes against russia using western supplied weapons.

The prime ministers of Great Britain and Italy will discuss Ukraine's long-range strikes on Russian territory, according to Bloomberg.
Italy and Britain are expected to reaffirm their commitment to defending Ukraine as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer travels to Rome to rally support for a proposal allowing Kyiv to use non-US long-range weapons against Russia.
Starmer and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will reportedly discuss a proposal for Ukraine to use British long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles on Russian territory, according to the agency's sources.
Two russian soldiers correctly predicted their deaths in Ukraine after being ordered on a suicide mission as punishment for arguing with their commander.
The middle-aged drone operators, who had been ordered to storm Ukrainian positions near Pokrovsk, also warned others against joining the "callous" russian army in a posthumously published video.
The video has been widely circulated on the Telegram social messaging app has angered the russian Ministry of Defence, which is trying to boost army recruitment.
In response, andrei belousov, the russian Defence Minister, ordered General valery gerasimov, the head of the russian military, to personally investigate the video and the death of the two soldiers.
Z-bloggers, russian pro-war social media influencers, have also used the death of the two soldiers to criticise the russian Ministry of Defence.
