Ukraine Claims Hit on Russian Flagship, Crew Evacuates

Newsmax ^ | April 14, 2022

Newsmax reports Ukrainian claim of Neptune missile strike, and only confirms Fire, Explosion and Evacuation of all hands.

Newsmax has articles reporting both Russian and Ukrainian Claims.

The only thing less trustworthy than “officials say” is “Ukrainians claim”.

[House Atreides]

Ukraine likely hit it with one or more anti-ship missiles as they claim. Alternatively, Ukraine became aware of the situation on the ship through communication intercepts and rushed to falsely claim they are responsible. Who over here really knows?

In any case, the ship is out of commission now.

[Tupelo]

Ukraine says they blew the ship out of the water.
Russia says the ship spontaneously combusted and sank.

One is propaganda and the other is somewhere close to the truth.

[NorseViking]

The Russian media says there was a fire due to a “detonation of munitions”, which one can interpret in any way. They also say the main armaments are intact and the ship is afloat.

Even more, never ever trust when they bring in “expert” talking heads.

Finally you guys are catching on, way to much horse manure and not nearly enough observation.

The operational loss of the Moskva will likely increase the collateral damage from this conflict.

There is something less trustworthy: Anything with .ru or .rt or TASS in its address.

Finish off and sink this Russian invader ship.

Finally you guys are catching on, way to much horse manure and not nearly enough observation.

Either the Ukrainians hit the Russian flagship Moskva or it spontaneously combusted. Are you catching on that, either answer makes the Russians look stupid?

Stupid Russians will kill you just as dead as smart ones, but you know that, that’s why you’re not over there.

[Who is John Galt?]

Stupid Russians will kill you just as dead as smart ones...

Precisely. An awful lot of people seem to want the US to go to war with Russia; if that happens, and the "stupid" Ruskies decide to take out a CVN or three, or maybe NATO headquarters, I wonder how many posts we'll see that amount to, "That wasn't fair!" or "That wasn't supposed to happen!"...

;>)

Combatants that have lost Tactical Weapons have been known to shift to Strategic Weapons causing corresponding collateral damage.

Be careful what you wish for.

Putin is desperately looking for fuel truck drivers, but for some reason you're not over there.

[logi_cal869]

Exactly.

Just one example of why I no longer visit newsmax.

Its a proxy war. Ignoring Russian invasions is not a credible response.

[ought-six]

“and .gov”

For sure.
