In the near future, Sevastopol will host training for the Russian Navy in both the southern and northern docks. Local authorities confirmed this development through a Telegram channel attributed to the city’s governor, Mikhail Razvozhaev.
The message noted that within the next half hour, the squadron would be engaged in a training session at the south and north docks, including live-fire exercises with a range of small arms. Officials emphasized that the operation is proceeding without incident and the city remains calm during the drills.
Earlier statements from the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were neutralized in the air over the Moscow and Kaluga regions, as well as over Sevastopol. These events underscore ongoing defensive and operational activities in the region.
Razvozhaev, a former naval officer, has been involved in coordinating a broad spectrum of readiness measures. A recent update referenced procedures for radiation, chemical, and biological protection, indicating that a smoke event in Sevastopol Bay was part of a controlled training scenario to assess response capabilities in case of contamination.
Further details indicated that on August 5, an unmanned drone was destroyed by forces of the Black Sea Fleet well offshore in the Sevastopol maritime area. This incident occurred in a context of heightened vigilance and reinforced coastal defense measures.
In the background, Russia has been developing and deploying a new drone suppression system, reflecting ongoing modernization efforts within the fleet and coastal defense networks. The combination of live-fire drills, protective readiness training, and counter-drone measures demonstrates a comprehensive approach to maritime security in Sevastopol and the surrounding waters.
These activities are framed as routine elements of naval preparedness, designed to ensure rapid response, coordinated action, and resilience in a dynamic security environment around the Black Sea. Observers note that such exercises contribute to a broader posture of deterrence and readiness for potential contingencies in the region.

Overall, the training and related operations appear to be carried out with a focus on safety, discipline, and scientific, methodical practice. The objective remains clear: to maintain a capable, vigilant naval force ready to respond to evolving threats while ensuring the stability of Sevastopol and its maritime domain.
