Are you sure you were following this news. Don’t forget Russia initially denied it. But when it became obvious they can’t save the ship. They have to come out plain

Exactly. They had to cannibalise their Caspian sea fleet to support the black sea fleet. All in all, they could only muster 21 ships, and Ukraine have blown 2 already. Those ships takes several years to replace.
the ships could be salvaged and repaired but it’ll still take years regardless

For the first time since the history of mankind that a sunk sheep is towed. Can a ship in the bottom of an ocean be towed? If a ship is sunk, it has gone beneath the water and from there down to the bottom of the ocean. Please be reasonable for once in your life.

No, the real history is small Ukraine without a navy or any serious military 6 weeks ago blasted and disabled Russia's $750 million so called most advanced warship with cheap Ukrainian Neptune missiles.

Sank or disabled it makes no difference, it's out of service, it can not fire one bullet, and it's of zero threat to Ukraine now and in the forceable future..

This indeed shows that Russia is a propagandist nation.

The west have always said the truth as it is but Russia will always refute it and claimed otherwise.

Russia denied they were not goingvto attacked Ukraine for months but they ended up attacking it and now,who is using propaganda if not Russia.

You're right, is embarrassing for them and they really need to reaccess their choice of inventory. From day one of the SMO, the Russians brought in and relied majorly on old and outdated Soviet era hardware like T72s and old ships at the forefront. Only on few occassion you see them introducing some of their latest tech for 'hit and leave' target. The logic behind this is that this is a special ops, which to me is bad logic cause they must have envisaged that NATO AWACS and E-3 are aiding UAF with real-time intelligence data. I honestly would have wanted the Ukrainian claim to be true but the facts speaks otherwise. Is one to ten that some two Neptune missiles could easily beat all the defense mechanism of the ship and the surrounding ships while inflight to reach it's target without any interception from any of the other ships or the ship itself, giving the huge array of defense capabilities in those ships? The math doesn't just add up. Either somebody (5th columnists) in the Kremlin wants this war over with quickly by trying to provoke a huge response from Russia as was the case with Belgorod, or there is sheer incompetent among the crew.
Whatever, Ukraine has the right to bask in the moment although it doesn't change anything on the frontlines. But, like you noted, the Russians have to sit their butt down and declare this SMO as an outright war, and let the likes of S-400, T-14s, T-90SMs, Thermobarics flame throwers, Su-75s, T-60 blackjacks long range bombers, Subs and the more modern Frigates and Corvettes do their job more regularly. It's folly trying to play 'moderate' when already tagged a war criminal. Using Ukraine to do away with old hardware and as a kind of testing ground is costing lives and integrity also. The main problem here is that nobody really knows what's Russia's real endgame in Ukraine per present.

The T-90 has been destroyed in Ukraine. T-14 rn is just a parade equipment. Su-57 that they don't even have up to a squadron of it just test platform.
Who uses a long range bomber when Ukraine is just next door.

Guy, incidents happens. A US Navy ship has been deliberately set on fire by one of their own, and the incompetency of the remaining crew made it impossible to save the ship, which the navy was forced to decommission. You think warship is like ordinary house? That thing is loaded with fumes, chemicals and liquids that are highly resistant to fire. Not to mention bombs and avionics that burns like hell.

Even Russian TV hosts don’t believe their government’s story. They are calling for retribution on Ukraine.

Russia is yet to confirm Moskva sank.

MOSCOW, April 14. /TASS/. The fire on the guided missile cruiser Moskva has been localized and the explosions of ammunition on board have been stopped, the Defense Ministry told the media on Thursday.
"The fire on the guided missile cruiser Moskva has been localized. No open flames are seen. The explosions of ammunition have been stopped," the ministry said.
The cruiser has retained buoyancy and its main missile systems are not damaged.
"The crew has been evacuated to other Black Sea Fleet ships in the area. Measures are being taken to tug the cruiser to port," the Defense Ministry said adding that the cause of the fire was yet to be established.
Earlier on the Thursday the Defense Ministry said that the Black Sea Fleet’s guided missile cruiser Moskva had suffered serious damage as a result of explosions of ammunition, caused by a fire on board. The crew has been evacuated.
The Moskva is the Black Sea Fleet’s flagship, lead ship of project 1164 Atlant. Commissioned in 1983 under the name Slava. The cruiser was given its current name in 1996. Sixteen launchers of the P-1000 Vulkan missiles are its main attack weapon.

T72 tanks are the main tanks used by Russia in Ukraine and Ukraine is also using same with T80, T55 etc.

Both countries are using almost similar weapons and equipment, just that those of Russia are more advanced and powerful.

You seems to be uninformed. You can't demilitarized Russia, that's what NATO knew very well, now, they are on the verge of controlling see if azov and most of the black see. That's a real threat to NATO which was their main aim of arming ukrain or ukrain joining NATO.

As for the loses it is bound to happen but go and check most weapon Russia has lost were disposable weapon not even near the best of their armament. The MOSKVA that was lost was due for retirement but since new cruiser is under construction/refurbishment it has to continue to serve, for the past 10 years it has not been deployed beyong it's natural zone which tells you the situation of things with her. And the only useful thing on her was her big radars other things are as good as nearly useless. Why didn't ukrain strike those coveat that were hauling missiles at it if it really intended to cause damage??

The ship was deployed to Syria, and there are no new cruisers of this tonnage under construction. Russia do not have a shipyard with the capacity to construct one, more reason why they are intent on taking Odessa and one other city like that because these were the original places ships like the Moskva were be built. They are fanning out to capture the industrial bases for themselves.

Clearly the narrative your western propaganda gave said a 16ft boat sunk a 600ft ship. A ship builts with SOA anti-missile defence system was sunk by a fisherman boat grin

The only news outlet I believe for anything consign the Russian military intervention, said the ship sank while being towed after an Internal ammunition accident. This is what really happened.

Only the gullible will believe otherwise.

Russia propaganda is effective because it has a niche, low IQ people. Who said a tug boat sunk it. Ukraine as it stands has no navy. It was sunk by thr Neptune missiles. Moreover, the rest of the ships fled 90 miles out of the Neptune's reach. I wonder what sort of fire accident will make an entire fleet flee 90 miles.

Such an epic, heroic moment would be captured on tape.
Unlike Ukraine, Russia gives video and audio evidences of their actions.
... Some persons disputed claims that over 1000 soldiers surrendered in Ukraine to Russian forces until they saw videos.

Even this guy below kollect grin

Do you even tlknow the amount of intelligence that goes before they decided to strike at the ship?

According to the pentagon, this same ship have bn observed to have maintained the same course around the Ukrainian coastline since the war began, and there was an instance when the ship was just 40 miles away. So they took the chance by distracting the radar with their drones before firing the missles, whether American, British, or Ukrainian type to sink it.

Then a western admiral even was angry that why would they leave such a ship alone without an escort of at least a frigate? But because of overconfidence, they believed that are untouchable, but now, who is dining with the fishes underwater?

Many of those newer equipments you mentioned only exists in Russia's propaganda or have not been fully tested. The s-400 is Russia's bragging right. If it fails in Ukraine eh, that will be billions in potential sales down the drain. They wouldn't want to risk it, especially now that US stealth missiles like harpoons are in Ukraine already. Moreover, it will be a good opportunity for US and NATO to develop battle strategies against Russian latest technologies from the distance of their own borders.
Sometimes I feel as if western nations tricked Putin into invading Ukraine and he took the bait.
