    I appreciate your paid narrative.

    How many grain tonnes were sunk by the russian navy in the last 3 years? Zero. How many grain vessels ex Ukraine were diverted to Russian ports under naval escort? Zero.

    The blockade was more about the capability to inspect inwards ships for arms.

    As has been said many times, Ukraine showed the effectiveness of area denial using sea drones - drones beat old school russian navy because drones are cheap and just one getting through means a bad day for a capital ship. The Houthis use the same tactic but don't have the luxury of NATO intel apparatus or NATO funding. The tactic is still effective even in its Houthi budget format.
