“Reverse side of the medal”: The cruiser “Moscow” sank
The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the missile cruiser Moskva, sank after a fire, according to the Russian Telegram channel “Reverse side of medal,” which specializes in covering military operations in “hot spots.”
“According to our preliminary information, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moskva, was indeed attacked by the Neptune anti-ship missile from the coastline between Odessa and Nikolaev. Also, the ship’s forces were diverted to counteract the Bayraktar TB-2 UAV. The impact hit the port side, causing the ship to take a strong list. After the threat of detonation of the ammunition, the crew of about 500 people was evacuated. The cruiser's buoyancy was complicated by sea weather conditions. As a result of all the combined factors, according to preliminary information, and unfortunately, the cruiser joined the Roskomos underwater satellite constellation,” the report says.
«A modern fire extinguishing system was never installed on the ship, despite warnings.“reminds TV and radio presenter Anton Korbkov-Zemlyansky.
Of the three cruisers of the same type in the Navy, only Marshal Ustinov in the Northern Fleet underwent the necessary fire-fighting modernization. The necessary funds were not allocated for the rest.
“In light of the latest events that have just occurred, a very serious escalation seems to be expected. There will probably no longer be any taboos regarding Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Zelensky,” says military expert Igor Korotchenko.
«I hope this will have a Pearl Harbor effect. Actually, it must have an effect, otherwise the RF project can simply be closed“, says columnist Egor Kholmogorov.
