Satellite images appear to show warships, which carry Kalibr cruise missiles, sporting the paint job. It would be "entirely consistent" with trying to fend off Ukraine's maritime drones, an expert said. Russian warships are being painted with dark stripes at either end in an apparent attempt to confuse Ukrainian attacks, a naval analyst said.Open-source naval researcher HI Sutton spotted what appeared to be the paint job on the Russian frigate Admiral Essen via satellite imagery at the Crimean port of Sevastopol on June 22, as well as on three further warships in the following days.According to Sutton, the four ships carry Kalibr cruise missiles, which have been used in devastating strikes across Ukraine.On June 29, KCHF.ru — a website dedicated to sharing news about Russia's Black Sea fleet — also shared an image of the Ivan Golubets, a Soviet-era minesweeper, which appeared to have been painted with thick dark bands at either end.It said the image, which Insider was unable to independently verify, was taken around a month earlier.
