THIS is the dramatic moment Russia's £300m stealth warship that was designed to carry hypersonic missiles went up in flames in a humiliating blow for Vladimir Putin.
New footage shows devastating fire damage to the new £307 million warship intended to carry Putin’s lethal Mach-9 hypersonic missiles....
...The scale of the blaze, which started on Friday in St Petersburg, has been viewed as a massive set back to the Kremlin’s naval modernisation programme.
Huge flames and thick smoke were seen rising from the corvette Provornyy at Severnaya Verf shipyard where it was being built.
The battleship was almost completely destroyed by the fire - the latest of a spate of mysterious blazes at top secret naval shipbuilding facilities ...

£307M for a warship?
Please!
That’s like $450M, US.
MbS (Saudi prince) has yachts worth more than that.

Can they recoup their losses by declaring it a submarine? It fits the profile of a typical Russian sub.

I’m guessing they save a lot on labor costs. No minimum wage and unions? Fergetaboutit!

Hmmm...
I was under the impression that no point on Earth is more than 12,500 miles from any other point.

In one article the writer calls the ship a Corvette, a Destroyer, and a Battleship.
Reporters are idiots...

That’s in case they want it to circle back to the point of origin.

Now it’s a Chinese* junk.
*They’ll probably end up buying it for scrap like they’ve done for several other Russian ships.

12,500 miles from any other point. That's like if Detroit wanted to launch the missile at Windsor, Canada, we could fire it south and it would circle the world and hit Windsor from the north and they would never see it coming....../

Provorny (Agile) is 2nd ship in class of Project 20385 corvettes.
Gremyashchy class (Project 20385) is an advanced variant of Steregushchy class (Project 20380) multi-purpose corvettes, which have been in service with the Russian Navy since 2007. Featuring stealth design, the corvettes are intended for missions such as patrolling coastal waters, maritime security, anti-surface warfare (ASuW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), and anti-air warfare (AAW). https://www.naval-technology.com/projects/gremyashchy-class-project-20385-multi-purpose-corvettes/

Was it a corvette, or was it a battleship?
