Russia faces a growing crisis over the state of its navy after prominent military analysts publicly acknowledged that the fleet is incapable of defending Russian-linked oil tankers from foreign interception.

The assessment, made by pro-Kremlin analysts and amplified by the military channel Voyennyy Osvedomitel, comes as U.S. forces continue seizing sanctioned vessels around the world.

In recent days, Russian commentators tied to the defense establishment conceded that Moscow lacks the ships, range, and logistical capacity required to conduct long-distance convoy or protection missions. Their remarks followed the U.S. seizure of the Russia-flagged crude carrier Marinera in the North Atlantic, despite the presence of Russian Navy vessels and a submarine in the broader region.

According to Voyennyy Osvedomitel, the idea that Russia could "charge with sabers drawn at American ships" to prevent tanker seizures is unrealistic. The channel stated that the Russian Navy "simply does not possess such capabilities," noting that long-promised modernization programs have stalled and that remaining Soviet-era ships are aging without proper upgrades.


 
 
If Su-25 can carry such drone, A-10 should be able as well.With longer range and higher payload... Even higher if its cannon is removed, I guess?
A new opportunity for a Warthog?
