Russian Borei SSBNs seen fully covered with anti-drone netting at Rybachiy base

Satellite imagery shows Russian Borei-class ballistic missile submarines at the remote Rybachiy base covered with fine anti-drone netting over the entire hull while in port. This appears to be a new, expanded physical counter-UAV measure beyond prior partial mesh/cage protections on Russian ships and submarines, indicating adaptation to perceived long-range or sabotage-style drone threats even far from Ukraine.
