Not what I hope for at all. But with luck that ship is well below sea level now.

And hopefully it was due to anti-ship missle(s) that the Brits supplied. And hopefully we gave the coordinates to the Ukranians in one way or the other.

Question now is how does Putin retaliate for this public humiliation.

21 knots wind and gulf height of at least 1,7 meter in the middle of the Black Sea, in the middle of the Night Crew of more than 500 on burning ship with continuous explosions on board, how is it supposed to have been evacuated? #Moskva #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack #Russia

To a country with basically no Navy. That smarts.

This is the largest vessel to be sunk in combat since the Yamato at Okinawa, big day for naval history. Glory to Ukraine

Are today's Cruisers the equivalent of WWII battleships?

If the ammo blew up, at best the evacuation was chaotic. At worst few if any made it off the ship at all.


Water temp in the 50's, so they are getting evacuated to the bottom of the Black Sea.

I don’t think the Moskva is sinking at all. I think the threat of fire was used to get the crew to evacuate ship. Everyone evacuated except the captain and a few senior commanders.

Then they exploded a few bombs to make the Russians think it was going down. They sent out some Morse code, and now they’ve gone dark because they’re heading west towards America.

The captain is going to hand over the ship in exchange for American citizenship for him and his commanders. I’ve seen this happen before.

The French jumping in on the equipment help.

Debatable, but it was the flagship of their Black Sea fleet and a huge black eye for the Russians as seems to be very probable now. Historically the flagship is the most powerful battleship, and home of the admiral of the fleet. I have no idea how the Russian Black Sea fleet is structured, though.

Hopefully this gets some reluctant countries off the sidelines (looking at you, Germany).

anyone else curious about how WE got the 11 Mi-17's?


I'm going to say no also. And while I don't know, some of the later to NATO former Soviet Bloc countries probably have Russian made stuff. If so, they give it to Ukraine and we give them Blackhawks.

You've already seen it, it was an accidental fire 100% not an Ukrainian missile. And nobody died because they were totally all evacuated in the middle of a storm in the middle of the night with the ship on fire. I mean you really believe western propaganda that Ukraine could hurt all mighty Russia like that (just in case /sarcasm)

I have a feeling if he stings like a bee the Ukrainians will sting like a wasp since they have anti-ship missiles. There is so much equipment and armaments crossing the border now it's getting to the point that Ukraine is fighting a proxy war for NATO. It's not my original thought. I read an article about this two days ago.
Boris Johnson is a boss.
