The photos, and the video they were from showed somewhere around 50 to 80 people. The ship normally has a much larger crew. It is likely many sailors were lost.
I am surprised that it has taken this long for any photos to emerge. But still no word from the Russians on the fate of the crew.
They were either all killed or all rescued, depending on which side you listen to. (Hope this helps)
That’s NOT gonna buff out.
You could use white flex seal.
That’s good.
That one’s been photoshopped. So was the previous one, which have been pulled... I can’t find my reply to it.
Oh, yeah. That ship was killed and there was no saving it. Any word as to the crew who might have been rescued or did Putin have them all executed for hurting his feelings?
“Where’s the tractor?”
Dude, I owe you a drink for the giggle! (-:
Yeah, that was the vulnerability of that design. The sixteen very large missiles it carried on deck in paired box launchers were an enormously powerful one shot punch, but they were strictly a ‘use it or lose it’ design when the ship came under attack.
Either one of the missiles detonated due to technical issues or a missile/fragments hit one or more of the launchers and set it/them off - the launchers could not be heavily armored.
Only two?
It would be Watts per square meter - and any answer would be classified.
Hope he is equal to the strategy task of revitalization.

Maybe more of an Empty Quiver.
Virtually all military equipment and most critical infrastructure are EMP hardened.
The EMP threat, while once fierce, is now nearly obsolete.
As is most critical civilian infrastructure. EMP is now a mostly obsolete threat.
That is a pretty cool chess set! I haven’t played in YEARS, but if I had the cash to spare, I’d pick this up.
I’ll take both causes for $2,OOO Rubles, Alexis!
It had 3 layers of defense weapons and it still got hit by 2 missiles. The long range missiles are S-300 system, than it has a close in missile system, lastly a gatling gun system for terminal course missiles that get thru the first 2 layers.
S-300 is a very capable system by itself. No way that ship should have been hit by these missiles. More has to be going on because something didn’t work.
