Russia Deploys Decoy Submarine in Sevastopol After Ukrainian Strike

Satellite images reveal a life-sized model of the Rostov-on-Don submarine, likely to mislead Ukrainian forces.

The decoy resembles the Russian Kilo-class submarine, suggesting a strategic move to protect real assets.
Ukraine claimed to have sunk the Rostov-on-Don during a missile strike on Sevastopol on August 3.
UK Ministry of Defence supports the claim, highlighting increased risks for Russian forces in Crimea.
The real Rostov-on-Don submarine was reportedly raised from the seabed but remains in uncertain condition.
Russia's Black Sea Fleet has faced significant losses, with a third of its assets reportedly out of operation.
