Unfortunately for the BSF, the beam of both the Alrosa and the Kalibr-armed Varshaviankas (width of 32.4 feet [9.9 meters]) precluded their passing into the Balaklava facility with its 19.6–27.8 feet (6–8.5 meter) width. It seems evident that Balaklava, unless expanded, can currently only house smaller surface ships (24 Kanal, January 22). During World War II, after the Nazis captured Sevastopol, the Black Sea Fleet was transferred to Novorossiisk. In an example of history repeating itself, in September 2022, seven months after the beginning of Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the BSF’s Kilo-class submarines were withdrawn to the relative safety of Novorossiisk, a secondary naval base where they currently operate (The Moscow Times, November 19, 2022). สล็อต เว็บตรง
