If your ship was sunken by fire not by missiles, why are you bombing the factory that makes anti-ship missiles as a response. Lai Mohammed needs to learn propaganda work from Kremlin

gamechanger547:
You're an illiterate who's got cow Poo for a brain.

Just go through the poo you posted and ask yourself if you're a nitwit or not!!

I'm waiting for your response birdbrain.

gamechanger547:
See proper MUMU, you simply posted T72s tank with reflective armour.

Just don't know why you don't recognize propaganda..

gamechanger547:
Post the pictures or videos of the T90 tanks destroyed as what was posted by Ukraine were T72 tanks! ( I saw the news and pictures but it's T72s that was posted)

You people tend to post over 90% what can't be confirmed while I do copy and paste actual news for people like you to verify and what I actually know about.

I verify information from various medias before posting the confirmed ones not someone just making something up to swipe their ego.

Most of you were not even born during the Soviet union days but will post comments that are totally false.

We know how Russian intervention in Afghanistan started and how it lead to war and watched the Russians cross back from Afghanistan into Russia way back.

I laugh when reading some comments on NL but just ignore so as not to make some people feel embarrassed as my aim is not to fight anyone but to balance the narrative.

Krismas:
Wen Russia tested the hypersonic last month, they fired it from the Black Sea at a target in the Mediterranean Sea. Do u grab the range? Yet by moving ships away from Odessa shores is a move to escape Ukrainian missiles? Are those missiles Igbo made? U are definitely a Ukrainian Zombie

Krismas:
The Ukrainians said they fired two missiles Yet Pentagon confirmed one explosion on the ship Moskva. How two missile can cause one explosion is wot I want u to explain

Maynman:
Why are you reading one part and ignoring the other, how can a missile hit such a ship, and the missile is from something basic.

Krismas:
The ship sunk last night as it was being towed. Wot destroyed the ship is THE SHIP’S OWN EXPLOSIVES and not Ukrainian missiles. The explosives on board that ship exploded. Why? That’s the most difficult question to answer

Merisbankie:
don't cry long
it is still afloat

Appleyard:
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.

bakar007:
Western Keypad warriors will start celebrating as usual , there many more where this ship comes from.

Russia is winning

Russia’s flagship cruiser Moskva has sunk in “stormy seas” while being towed to a port in the Black Sea, the Russian defence ministry announced.

The Ukrainian southern military command claimed late on Wednesday to have struck the Moskva with Neptune anti-ship missiles, causing it to start sinking and forcing the crew to abandon ship.

Russia’s defence ministry initially denied reports that it had sunk and claimed the fires had been extinguished. Four Russian ships that had gone to the Moskva’s rescue were being hampered by stormy weather and by ammunition blowing up onboard, it said.

But late on Thursday, the ministry said in a statement: “The cruiser ship Moskva lost its stability when it was towed to the port because of the damage to the ship’s hull that it received during the fire from the detonation of ammunition. In stormy sea conditions, the ship sank”.

The crew were evacuated to other ships, the ministry said.

The apparent attack and sinking of the Black Sea Fleet flagship – 50 days after Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine – represents a symbolic blow to the Kremlin. The Moskva was the pride of Russia’s Black Sea naval fleet and the most prestigious vessel involved in the war against Ukraine.

“The sinking of the Moskva, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, is not just a significant loss, it is emblematic of the shambolic Russian military campaign,” said Michael Kofman, research programme director and Russia expert at the Center for Naval Analyses.


Commissioned in 1983, the ship was armed with 16 anti-ship Vulkan cruise missiles with a range of at least 440 miles (700km). According to reports, it was also carrying S-300 anti-air missiles, which are crucial to Russia’s air superiority over Crimea and Ukraine’s Kherson province, now occupied by Russian troops.

It is the most significant naval vessel to be sunk since the Argentinian cruiser General Belgrano was torpedoed by a British submarine, HMS Conqueror in 1982.

Western officials described the Ukrainian claims to have hit the Moskva with anti-ship missiles as “credible”. A senior US defence official noted that five other Russian vessels which had been as close or closer to the Ukrainian coast as the Moskva had moved at least another 20 nautical miles offshore after the explosion, suggesting an effort to get out of range of Ukrainian missiles.

The Moskva gained notoriety early in the war when the crew demanded the surrender of Ukrainian forces on Snake Island, prompting a riposte from border guards on the island: “Bleep you, Russian warship.”

The phrase instantly became a symbol of national defiance, and is now a universal meme. It has appeared on a new national postage stamp as well as on checkpoints, shop windows, Ukrainian military vehicles and private cars

Svlla:
The ship was attacked not destroyed, it will be repaired

Odessa is under effective naval blockade and Russia has other Cruise missile capable warships in those waters

Black sea fleet is large

What happen to the Ukrainian navy or is it truly nonexistent?

BTW @Igbofam where are your S300? It's past 3 days now

Teaser4:
You Dey mind the kid….. fake news monger

Appleyard:
The US said the ship is able to make it to dock for repair, and it's actually doing so. They can see it from their satellite images and besides,Turkey and Romania have assets in that area too. But Kiev claimed the ship has sunk. I understand they are trying to boost moral but lying don't win wars.
