Russian Navy fits anti-drone netting to vessels in both Mediterranean and Baltic

Published 1 July 2026

OSINT imagery shows two Russian naval vessels equipped with overhead anti-drone netting in separate theatres: the Project 23130 replenishment tanker Akademik Pashin (Northern Fleet) in the Mediterranean, and the Project 861M survey vessel Kildin (Black Sea Fleet) in the Fehmarn Belt in the Baltic. The presence of comparable passive protection on vessels from different fleets operating in different seas suggests a coordinated programme to harden naval assets against drone and USV attack.
