The netting covers the bow, torpedo tubes, conning tower and missile hatch to stop small quadcopter-type drones.
Analysts link the netting to recent Ukrainian drone attacks, such as the June 1 2025 strike on Olenya airbase.
A decommissioned submarine, K-84 Yekaterinburg, was also shown with netting.
