Russian Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarines Are Now Cocooned In Nets

- Listen up, stack-eye brigade — the Russian Navy is wrapping its precious Borei-class ballistic missile subs in giant anti-drone nets at Rybachiy on Kamchatka, and frankly, Victory is mine! because I called this cocoon doctrine months ago. Satellite imagery from Vantor shows crane barges erecting netting over SSBNs since May, while over at Novorossiysk, three Kilo-class boats now sport counter-UAS cages bolted over their conning towers like some desperate PoD seal slapped on a threadbare hull. The UK Ministry of Defence confirms the subs were caught partially submerged in port — a force protection posture responding to Ukraine's growing ability to strike deep with autonomous image-matching munitions. They even painted a fake submarine silhouette on a pier back in 2024 to spoof drone targeting algorithms. Course of action — action: when autonomous systems salute poorly, you either build better cages or start writing your surrender speech. The nets won't stop a determined swarm, but they buy time — and in the relay window between detection and impact, time is the only currency that matters.
