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

comrade i like dis ur tonnage and .... Point sha.

That ship has the capacity to destroy 75percent of Ukraine in 25minutes. I don't believe a slow missile can breach its automatic spotting radar. Even projectiles in stealth mode don't have a chance at it. How much more smaller vessels whose job is to protect the king Markova along side submarines

Yes you are correct, both Admiral Kuznetsov and Admiral Nakhimov are undergoing refit and modernisation. My post was to highlight to the person I quoted that Moskva wasn't the largest warship in Russian navy's inventory.

You know people are so gullible they would believr anything.

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.

You don't understand military hardwares. Warship is being protected like a seat of government. Putin made a great mistake by invaded Ukraine, he thought USA will directly involve and ture it to world war. NATO will continue to hide under Ukraine to demilitarised Russia. This war will takes many years and will only end when USA has achieve their desire.

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??

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.

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.

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. .




On the highlighted paragraph, I think you're wrong. Russia never had any intention of taking over the whole Ukrainian territory from the very start. You only have to look at the number of troops involved (200,000 only) from the onset, and even the type of troops. Ukraine is MASSIVE. In my opinion, decapitating the leadership at Kyiv was indeed an objective, but that changed from week 2/3, hence the change in strategy. If the Russians are able to liberate the remaining Donbass territories from the administrative line of control to Russia's western borders, then they've achieved one of their objectives. If they're able to capture Dnipro, destroy the Ukrainian forces in the Cauldron and hold off any counter attack from western Ukraine, then it's another plus for them as they would've successfully divided Ukraine between East and West. Throw in the Naval blockade, and Ukraine will honestly be screwed economically.

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.


A floating mine, 60 miles off the coast?

Not sure how you can claim this proves anything about Russian ‘honesty’. They couldn’t deny anything na. Not when Ukrainian sources say it was hit by Neptune missile, or when the Morse code for help was being broadcast openly. Or when satellites will provide pictures that will show the sunk vessel.

If Russia has still not taken over Ukraine in almost two months they are never going to.

Russia is one overhyped country I was so scared for Ukrainians but these people are the true examples of patriotism.

Rest in peace to the ones whose lives have been cut short by mad man Putin hopefully he meets his Waterloo.

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

[quote author=ocelot2006 post=111955795]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.

I tink odesa wil see airstrikes 1st [may b wit hypersonic M's] instead of d much touted naval action.

Not really. They have deterrence built in. The Navy operates with eyes from under water, to the surface and far into space. They were supposed to shot down any incoming missiles, they didn't.
It seems you are being naiv or so full of propaganda.

Cruisers are not aircraft carriers that need escorts, maybe you can cute an example of any destroyer/ cruiser of any country's navy with such.... I will be waiting.

To enlighten you, anti ship missiles can never be shot/ destroyed by airplane or drone. The only and most useful defensive aid to them are warship with CRAMS/Guns with better radars cos they are the most deadly to ship cos of the stealth, sea skimming and manuoverability.

If truely it was sunk by Ukrainian, I give kudos to them, though it doesn't belittle the Russians as they must have thought ukrain navy post zero threat to them as they are non existing as of presence, that was why they move that close to the shore

Russia just covering up the shame.

How do you believe a fire incident can sink a ship of that caliber and make it sink? And compare the timing......


If its not a blow on the haul, it should still take about 2-4 weeks before it can sink. Its definitely a blow!

A mere fire cant sink any modern ship that fast! Not to talk of a military ship

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.

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.

Ur assertion is correct but it's an open secret that the Admiral Kuznetsov is not battle worthy. It won't even survive the journey from the docks to the war theatre.
