You mean one of their biggest or their biggest ? Lol

The Kirov class, Soviet designation Project 1144 Orlan (sea eagle), is a class of nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers of the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy, the largest and heaviest surface combatant warships (i.e. not an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship) in operation in the world.

Make una talk wetin una know oh and again Russia has many where this comes from , you think Russia would bring it best ship to fight UKRAINE , funny enough this ship isn't equip with nuclear weapon grade hardware why western media dey deceive una as if Na Russia best Naval ship be this. Nawa oh

It's funny how this war is being promoted on both sides. Will sinking a Russian warship end the war? People have been displaced, civilians have been turned to soldiers, the carnage is real yet many are cheerleading from the comfort of their homes. By the time this war is over Ukraine would have been reduced to rubble or we would be hiding in underground shelters from nuclear fallout.

The deed has already been done!
No backing out now...too late!
But best believe Ukraine will come back stronger after all these.

Why?
The US and EU will support the rebuilding process.

Why you may ask again?
Because, this is the only opportunity the US and EU have to destroy Russia and bring her to its knees.

This is why they will keep arming Ukraine with sophisticated toys of destruction to deplete Putin's army, coupled with the endless sanctions to destroy her economy.

Forget about what the Putin armchair analysts are saying...that Russia is winning and indestructible.
Wishful thinking!












Putin has already lost big time, and he's going down.
Just a matter of time.

The ship was commissioned in 1983. An almost 40 year old ship was the crown of Russias fleet? Are you sure we are not talking about Nigeria here?

This is the great Russia that will form a bloc against the west?

Putin has just open yansh yakata. Dem done see Russia finish

It only amazes you cos of your nativity. It's only pride of the black see fleet cos of it's tonnage. The ship itself is waiting replacement/refurbish begire being sunk. The only thing useful on the ship was the radars

Like all brawl and no Brain. This is definitely a grade A miscalculations of the 21st century.
I think Putin is right to lock up all the intelligence officials
They have failed Russia,all their conversations are all over places and Ukraine has really prepared for the war,Ukraine even says they finished their preparation on February 22 because they expected an invation on the said date
when westerners started harming Ukraine,people think they don't know what they are doing and now everything is paying off
Russia need total overhaul of intelligence services,they are total failure,they told Putin 8 days and now they can't even defeat one major city in Ukraine in almost 2 months.

No, it is not Russia's largest warship.

Russia has 5 fleets, operating in key areas namely; Northern, Pacific, Baltic, Caspian and Black sea.

The Moskva at 11,300 tonnes was the largest ship in the black sea fleet.

The largest warship in Russian inventory is the Admiral Kuznetsov at 65,000 tonnes, followed by the Peter the Great at 28,000 tonnes, Admiral Nakhimov at 28,000 tonnes, the Varyag at 12,000 tonnes etc.

Note: the above doesn't include submarines.

grin grin Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Battalion Spreads Fake Video Alleging Sinking of Russian Warship

Andrey Biletsky, one of the founders of the infamous Azov Battalion, has been caught out on social media trying mislead followers into believing an 8-year-old Norwegian missile test... was instead a successful operation by Ukrainian forces against Russia's navy.

The video supposedly shows a Ukrainian missile destroying the “Moskva” cruiser in the Black Sea.

In reality, however, the material is a lightly edited Norwegian military reel from 2013.

Frankly speaking, I see warships as sitting ducks. They are easy targets. They are very large and very slow compared to tanks or fighter jets for instance.

A rain of laser guided missiles from afar should be able to take one down.

Just my 2 cents. It's not my field.
it’s filled with air defense system, it should be able to resist a little unless overwhelmed

Dude the EU and US are not helping Ukraine. This war will end badly. With Russia, China and India teaming up the odds are not in Ukraine's favour. If Russia, India and China keep all their trade among themselves they have a combined market of at least 2 billion people. So sanctions may not work. The only thing that will work is an all out confrontation of Russia by EU and US and they don't want to do that due to the risk of a nuclear war. Giving Ukrainians Javelins, anti-ship missiles and other equipment will not end this war. It will keep going until someone gives up and I don't see Putin giving up anytime soon. I only pity the Ukrainian people.

Hmmm.....I must say that this is a major embarrassment for the Russian Military and the Russian Federation at large if the story of the Black Sea Fleet Flagship sunk. The fleet's FLAGSHIP??! So what happens when the donated Harpoons are fully activated? There are so many questions that need to be answered. What happened to the ship's defence systems or that of other ships within the fleet in combat?

This probably won't affect cruise missile strikes and the Naval blockade of Ukraine's coastline will still hold, but any amphibious operations against Odessa are now out of the question for now, unless Russian Navy takes out those Ukranian Coastal Defence systems of Neptune and Harpoon Anti-ship missiles. And I'm willing to bet that they're on mobile launchers.

When this war ends, the Russians will have to sit down, assess their military capabilities, and invest in upgrades, tactics, and strategy from the very bottom to the very top.

Anyway, the Ukrainians have clearly won this bout. This is a major blackeye for Russia.

First d ship was located using American satellites , Ukraine doesn't have one , then the Americans pushed it over to Britain to plan ,some drones were sent towards d ship in the other direction ,the whole security system guarding d ship was locked on d drones , shooting some down and planning how to shoot d rest down ,then two missiles were fired from d other side,this overwhelms d ships security systems.

after Russia 2weeks military campaign in Ukraine.... The Chinese knew they can't risk their economy and country for an overrated military might. China was obviously disappointed as they see Moscow as a contender with USA when they have now been exposed to be rated below them. It's would have been a super miscalculations on the Chinese if they had started a war.. thinking the Russian will make significant allied nation with noticable impact.

Sanctions is the most effective just that t it takes long,nothing will work in Russia till all the sanctions are lifted
This world revolves together,most of the technology,spear parts, Banking and so on comes from one country to another

The Russian economy is crumbling fast and i forsee a massive migration of its citizens abroad escaping poverty.

As for its war in Ukraine, it has achieved very little so far.

I have always urged that Zelensky end the war by accepting a lot of Putins terms.

Unfortunately, as this "Special Military Operation" lingers far longer than expected, it has exposed several failings of the Russian army and weaknesses.

They USA toppled the Iraq government within 30 days. The Iraqi army was a million strong with many highups being veterans of the Iraq-Iran war. The Iraqi army was many times more powerful than the Ukrainian army Russia is facing today.

Yet, Russia has barely captured 10% of Ukrainian territory. I doubt it's up to 5% and the Ukrainians are even recapturing towns from the Russians.

Zelensky is now talking about defeating Russia. He should have prevented this war altogether by dropping his NATO dreams. He is not politically savvy but his new goal shows the frailty of the Russian army and belief they can now be defeated. .

Russia is bound to change tactics and i foresee a replay of what happened in Chechnya and Syria. There, Russia used extremely bombardment to shatter the will of the people and crush its target. Basically, killing a fly with a sledgehammer. That isn't war but genocide

This seems to be what it used in Mariupol as all buildings seem to have been hit by bombs, the entire city resembling a desolate wasteland. .




Are you intentionally being deluded?
You claim US topple Iraq in 10 days, was it done by US or allied forces?, Can you tell me one war US has won alone?? Even it's not 10 days it was about three weeks where did you get your source??

You also claim ukrain is week? You really mean a country producing almost half it's weapon is week compare to a country buying all it's weapon? You must have been misled out of this world.
Are you comparing ukrain that's being armed every minutes to Iraq which doesn't have any alternative??

I think you don't have a shame at all by regurgitation what's MSM is telling you, yes, Russia has not taking a city at all but what's the use of a city without friendly citizen? They can't bear to bombard ukrain like US does in all it's warscos they are faternal brothers. You can check how many people were killed in the first week of US campaign in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Libya and compare to casualties of civilians in Ukraine at present. So much for world power,���

Ukraine did not sink the ship. Even the US said they cannot verify the Ukrainian claim. That ship probably ran into a floating mine or had some internal incidents that led to the explosion. Ukraine lied it sunk it from the word go, but how do you tow a ship that is already sunk?

Whatever, the ship was lost on its way being towed to port. So a loss is a loss. At least, it proves the Russians are more honest with their losses compared to Ukraine who claimed to have only lost 1000+ soldiers since the war began. And I guess they have not lost any plane, ship or machine.


You are a learner! A ship of that caliber had a fire incident and sank?

now y are dey easily sunk.
-to raise morale and statues quo
-once dey enter active combact area,dey usually do such wit pomp,there by unecesarily disclosing dia proximity and alertin d enemy..
-to put fear into d heart of ur enemy
-wit all dis armaments, u should take out the ship asap to avoid am wrecking ur defence first [ dia by living up to its alias]

eg of flag ships dat have been sunk witout even seeing serious battle/use are:

yamato,japan
bismarck,germany
hms hood.uk
tirpitz,germany

etc etc unless i rememba oda ships or choose to dig for dem.

my point is dat capital ships dnt last and it is a big ups to kiev and big down/f..k up for kremlin.
