Why missiles and drones do not make surface ships obsolete

Have land-based missiles and sea drones rendered surface vessels obsolete?

No; they increase risk and demand adaptation, but they do not remove the missions and mobility supplied by surface ships.

New weapons have repeatedly inspired declarations that surface fleets are finished, yet navies continue to require their mobility, endurance, and broad mission set. The Falklands experience demonstrated real vulnerability without ending the operational value of surface forces. The Black Sea is a bounded operating area whose ports and movements can be watched by local observers, drones, satellites, and other intelligence assets, which makes concealment difficult. Russian losses must also be read against maintenance shortfalls, corruption, missing or nonfunctional systems, and long-running personnel and support problems. Those conditions make the campaign a warning about readiness and adaptation, not a clean experiment proving that the surface warship itself is obsolete.
