Russia Biggest War Ship On the Black Sea has been damaged by Ukraine by sosanova: 8:14am On Apr 14, 2022 |
Russian Navy Confirms Severe Damage to Black Sea Cruiser Moskva, Crew Abandoned Ship The Russian Navy’s Black Sea flagship has suffered major damage and the crew has abandoned the ship, state media said late Tuesday in reports following Ukrainian claims of hitting the ship with a missile strike. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the mishap on RTS Moskva (121), a ship in the country’s Black Sea Fleet, according to state-run outlet TASS. The crew of the Moskva the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet was severely damaged and the crew abandoned ship, the Russian Defense Ministry told TASS. A fire broke out on the ship, causing ammunition to detonate, according to TASS. State media did not elaborate on the cause of the fire. Ukrainian officials claimed that shore-based anti-ship guided missiles hit Moskva which had been operating from the Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea. “It has been confirmed that the missile cruiser Moskva today went exactly where it was sent by our border guards on Snake Island!” Odesa governor Maksym Marchenko said in a Telegram message on Tuesday. “Neptune missiles guarding the Black Sea caused very serious damage to the Russian ship.” Neptunes, first fielded in 2021, are based on the Soviet AS-20 ‘Kayak’anti-ship missile which is similar to the U.S.-built Harpoon missile. Moskva was commissioned into the Soviet Navy in 1982 and is one of three Slava-class guided-missile cruisers. The three 11,500-ton Slavas were designed around launchers that can hold 16 SS-N-12 Sandbox anti-ship cruise missiles – each about the size of a telephone pole. Developed in the 1970s, the Slavas and the Sandboxes were designed to take on U.S. and NATO aircraft carriers by overwhelming them with a barrage of high-speed cruise missiles to sink ships. The two other Slavas are RTS Marshal Ustinov (055) and RFS Varyag (011) have been operating in the Mediterranian. Moskva is not the first Russian warship to be damaged in the nearly 50-day invasion of Ukraine. A landing ship sank off the port of Ukrainian city Berdiansk after being attacked by Ukrainian forces, USNI News previously reported. The ship’s fire ultimately damaged a merchant ship at port in Berdiansk, causing damage. https://news.usni.org/2022/04/13/russian-navy-confirms-severe-damage-to-black-sea-cruiser-moskva-crew-abandoned-ship https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/14/europe/russia-navy-cruiser-moskva-fire-abandoned-intl-hnk-ml/index.html 1 Like 1 Share

Mehn. See heavy artillery like movies. This war may drag into years. Why did Zelensky inherit this problem. China should speak to Russia as it's trusted ally to alleviate the war and bring it to a halt. The agenda is senseless |

Russia never expected this war to linger up to this moment. Putin has been trapped. I hope he does not commit blunders that will leed to wider conflict. |

Russia has lost their biggest Warship on the Black Sea to a country (Ukraine) that doesn't have a Navy. The Russian warship has sunk to the bottom of the sea and automatically becomes a submarine Zelensky the comedian is really giving Putin nightmares The missile used were Ukrainian made Neptune anti ship missiles, the US, UK and NATO made anti cruise missiles are even still yet to be handed over to Ukraine, Russia is in for a long costly and bleeding war. 3 Likes 1 Share

Last night, A fire and subsequent broadside munitions blast have done serious damage to the Moskva missile cruiser of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the crew was evacuated, the Russian defense ministry said on Thursday. There’s no confirmation from Russia that this was done by Ukraine. Ukraine has previously also tried to take credit for a fire onboard a russian ship, saying they “hit it” which turned out to be BS, so just be aware the Ukrainian claims are ‘heavily’ not confirmed. It also still appears to be afloat, there’s no confirmation of it sinking. (Ukraine tries to take credit for any mishap in the russian military, out of desperation) Sourve ASB Military |

The ship is still afloat but damaged to an extent, the picture up there showing a sinking ship is actually a 2019 picture of a sea fire incident in Tanzania. Sinking a warship is not that easy. It is also not that hard for warships to go up in flames due to excessive explosives on board, a little spark and boom it goes, remember that Russia lost a warship under construction in the shipyard before the war even started. Same way a US sailor set their warship on fire in 2020 due to what he termed as a revenge on the US leading to a $3 Billion damage. This is also a war and it is expected to see enemies claim glory for any incident on the opposition camp to score points. |
