Putin has launched a major salvage operation to the wreck of the downed Black Sea Fleet flagship to secure military secrets including coding devices, unexploded missiles, and possibly even attempt to bring the bodies of dead sailors back home, naval experts have claimed.
An eight-ship salvage flotilla including Kommuna, the world's oldest active warship, and submarine has been sent to the site of the sunken Moskva 80 miles off the coast of Odessa from Sevastopol, the large naval base in Russia-annexed Crimea, according to a report by Forbes.

If they haven’t salvaged all that secret stuff by now, chances are it’s warehoused in Kiev already. A few frogmen, some cables and some cranes, and they could have been there and gone.
What a shame./s
Putin increasingly resembles Elmer Fudd.
Anyone using Aluminium in anything mission critical in a warship is asking for trouble.
Not doubting you, but I’ve never heard of a 110-year-old ship. Thought 30 or 40 years was a lifetime for ships. And I’ve been on a few, new and old. The old ones looked like they were awfully tired of bucking the waves.
I served in the USAF with a TS/SCI.
How about you pussy?
Both countries are shitholes and it’s not America’s business.
As I recall back in the day USAF personnel with a TS/SCI relied on the work of the other services, as they were too busy playing tennis, dating local chicks, touring, racing cars, and generally f..king off.
So the Ghost of Kiev was real???
Sure thing. That’s usually what low ASVAB scoring dirt pounders say.
No retards in my SCIF…

Not my claim. Don’t shoot messengers, please - life is difficult enough.
But that age is well documented and, in fact, Russia still has even older ships in its fleet, apparently.
Retards laugh at their own posts and have gay little nicknames for Putin.
You must be Gen Z or a bitch.
Geez, that’s all you got, shill? How’s your tennis elbow doing these days?
“How about you pussy?”
Do you normally try to show what a tough guy you are by calling senior citizen grandmothers pussies?
You write in the plural. Who is the old woman?
The person whose post you replied to. In their 80’s.
YOU THE MAN. /SARC
Well if I knew that I wouldn’t have written it.
One would think someone of that age would be wise enough to not call a US veteran a subversive Russian agent.
I also don’t care about what you think as you engage in perpetual name calling. You talking down to me is comical.
You dish it out, speak your mind but expect others to cut you slack ? Interesting. Quite progressive of you.
You are confused. WHEN did I want to be cut slack?
Because I did less than an hour after Kevmo's challenge, Stupid.
Kevmo admits it in Post #54, if you can read, his words:
"I withdraw my accusation that you guys could do it."
Having read quite a few Ukraine stories in the past few weeks...
Apparently not enough of 'em, as you're a day behind on this thread and almost 80 years behind on Ukraine and Russia.
If true, the Ukies have more Russian naval ships upon which to target to test their anti-ship missiles.
Happy hunting!
What’s comical is you thinking you are some tough guy because you had a clearance. Maybe you and the pudgy Vindman twins can do lunch and trade tough guy stories.
