Історичне відео найбільшої морської перемоги після Другой світової війни, яке ми отримали від джерел, близьких до КБ "Луч". Рівно один рік тому, 13 квітня 2022-го року, о 14.10, рохрахунок протикорабельного ракетного комплексу РК-360 Нептун Збройних сил України здійснив залп двох ракет по флагманському кораблю Чорноморського флоту РФ ракетному крейсеру "Москва". О 14.17 дві ракети вразили крейсер. "Москва" загорілась. Увечері екіпаж крейсера залишив корабель та припинив боротьбу за живучість, під час буксирування крейсера зранку 14 квітня крейсер "Москва", майже 12 тисяч тон масою, з комплексом ракетного озброєнняч, затонув. Блискучий успіх українських воїнів та інженерний подвиг конструкторського бюро "Луч" та його керівника Олега Коростельова.
Скоро напишу статтю з моєю версією тих подій.

"The historical video of the largest maritime victory since World War II, which we received from sources close to the Luch KB. Exactly one year ago, on April 13, 2022, at 14.10, the count of the anti-ship missile complex RK-360 Neptune of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched two missiles on the flagship ship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation rocket cruiser "Moscow". At 14.17 two rockets hit the cruiser. "Moscow" has caught fire. Tonight, the crew of the cruiser left the ship and stopped the fight for livelihood, while towing the cruiser in the morning of April 14, the cruiser "Moscow", almost 12 thousand tons of mass, with a complex of rocket weapons, sank. The brilliant success of Ukrainian soldiers and the engineering feat of the construction bureau "Luch" and its leader Oleg Korostelʹova." "Soon I'll write an article with my version of those events."

I figure this thread will get heated. Oh well.
Comments, questions, informed critiques, angry ranting and raving?

Тиы гобогит по гусски?
Where is the video?
Never mind. I found the link.
Nonsense. Moskva was not sunk. The Ukrainians just helped Russia convert it into a submarine :)
Neptune say: “if you see me coming, you better run.”
This is out of the Ukes league. It was sunk by Brits, firing Harpoons with targeting from US satellites and P-8 Poseidon planes. And these were fired in daylight, the first report of the ship being hit was an hour after sunset.
More Uke bullcrap propaganda again. They claim it was a homegrown Uke missile as a cover story for Brits and US conducting the strike. Just like Nordstream.... more lies.
Thank you. One is inclined to believe exactly what you posted.
smells of bs
Sorry...I misspelled it. "govorit" or Гоьорит basically... "speak"
Two weeks before the war started, the Moskva's readiness report was leaked on line. The ship was barely seaworthy. The engines were past their service life, the air defense except one CIWS didn't work. The control systems were worn out. The entire class was built as a safeguard if the Kirov class failed, so they were built big and cheap, including damage control.
From what I can tell, she was hit three miles off shore while on a shore bombardment mission, without escorts. Even if her air defense worked perfectly and were updated, they would still have problems on low altitude air targets over land since the land mass creates lots of radar horizons and background problems. The Russian Navy was so overconfident they did not try to screen the most obviously vulnerable and high value asset they had, on a shore bombardment mission another ship could have done, if the mission was worth it at all.
Before she was sunk, on April 3, 2022, Ukraine successfully used a Neptune anti-ship missile to attack the frigate Admiral Essen. Another Russian warship close to shore was fired upon using a BM-21 and a transport sunk in harbor by a ballistic missile. The Russian Navy had to know that Ukraine was absolutely looking for any opportunity to sucker punch the Russian navy and had the means.
The icing on the cake, The Moskva was built in Ukrainian shipyards. They knew the ship and what condition she was in. A NATO reconnaissance aircraft was tracking her, and the Moskva had a regularly schedule maneuvers like clockwork, limited if any variability in her maneuvers.
Given all of that, what was the Russian navy thinking?
150,000 dead Ukrainians are not cheering from their graves for your war.
We're lucky in didn't start a nuclear war.
Putin wants to rule people not mutant cockroaches.
