I saw her in Sevastopol a couple of years ago. Looking shabby. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is in pretty tough shape. Some of their smaller auxilieries look all right but most of the bigger stuff is laid up. Just not enough money for the required maintenance.

Apparently there is also a MOSKVA CLASS helo-carrying cruisers. Sending one of those might make some sense for rescue, maybe the reporter is just stupid?
