"Putin's Navy Day Parade Raises Security Concerns with Missing Subs and Jets"

Russian President Vladimir Putin oversaw a scaled-down naval parade during Navy Day celebrations in St. Petersburg, which lacked strategic nuclear submarines and military aircraft. The absence of these assets is likely due to maintenance and security concerns following the Wagner Group mutiny and increased drone attacks. The parade included 45 combat ships, gunboats, and submarines, along with about 3,000 troops. The exclusion of Russia's nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines was expected, as announced earlier. The celebrations in St. Petersburg were not targeted by long-range drone attacks, but Ukraine's defense intelligence agency attempted to hack Russian sailors' devices by sending Trojan-horse messages.
