Even Russia's continued possession of Crimea isn't going to help them control the Black Sea when faced with modern NATO forces.
In a bid to bolster the country’s Black Sea coast defense capabilities, the Bulgarian government has approved a project to purchase the Naval Strike Missile coastal defense system for the nation’s military.
Bulgaria will contribute to the Black Sea Turkey Shoot. I was not impressed with Ukraine's anti-ship campaign that relied on NATO intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to identify targets.
NATO's much better armaments tied into that ISR network will do much more, much more rapidly, and at a greater range.
