As we all know that a Russian warship sunk after it was damaged by an explosion on Wednesday. The news has been in the headlines and it is gaining everyone’s attention. Now, another piece of news has come related to the sinking of Putin’s flagship Moskva that the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Igor Osipov was arrested after the sinking. The news of the commander getting arrested has been circulating all over the internet at this moment. Ever since many people have been searching to know more about the commander. So here, we have brought all details about the commander Igor Osipov.

According to the latest reports, the guided-missile cruiser Moskva has drowned after getting damaged by an explosion. It is the greatest loss for the Russian navy in its history. R-360 Neptune is the name of the guided missiles that Kyiv used to inflict the bitter defeat on Russia. It has been reported that the ship had a total of 510 crew and played an important role in sea-launched missile attacks on Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defence revealed the news and tried to downplay the damage to the flagship, which entered service in the year 1983

According to the experts of the military, it could be a turning point in the Ukraine war. However, the crew members on board have saved themselves somehow. But the loss of the Moskva is too big for Russia. Talking about Igor Osipov, an officer of the Russian Navy who was born on 06 March 1973 in Novoshumnoye, Fyodorov, District Kostany Region, Kazakh SSR, USSR. He currently holds the position of admiral and is the commander of the Black Sea Fleet. He completed his study at the Higher Naval School of Submarine Navigation. After completing his graduation, he joined the Pacific Fleet. He took command of the Black Sea Fleet in his hands in the year 2019.

Yep, the Russians around Putin need to wise up before Putin prosecutes them too. Or worse causes them heart attacks from unnatural sources.

They need to take Putin down and end this war.

There must be 50 ways to leave your Putin.

Article is click bait. Tells us nothing.

My understanding is that the Moscva Ship was sailing a constant pattern day after day, ie giving exact coordinates.

I’m not a Navy man, but seems strange that they would do that.

Greatest loss to the Russian Navy in history? That is not correct. Tsushima was its greatest loss by far. And lots of larger and more important Russian warships have been lost in any case.

Seems like I remember an article about them repeating a pattern before it was sunk.

But still, I doubt that matters much. With the aid of US intelligence, they would know where it is located. And the US has made no secret that they have been providing intelligence.

What I thought was interesting was the use of the Bakarat drones to provide a distraction.

Not a fan of Turkey, but they certainly have helped Ukraine with those drones.

So you take out Putin—will that end the war? Maybe not—It night get worse. Russia may want revenge. What happens when the nukes start to fly? Will NATO go to war on the glowing ruins of Kiev? Will France want to give up Paris? England London? Germany Berlin or Bonn? Turkey Ankara? Do we want to lose New York? Norfolk? Boston? Washington DC? An emotional reaction could end Europe and The United States. Only Winners Japan, China, and India. In this war they will be no victory parades.

Biden and his handlers are thinking that this is a golden opportunity to take Russia out completely.

Yes, that would certainly change the complexion of things in the world, but what happens to their nukes?

World wars have started over smaller issues.

I see only three scenarios.

1. Negotiated settlement. Russia wants the Eastern border territories and Crimea. In light of the recent military wins for Ukraine, it sounds like they are unlikely to give Russia anything.
2. Russia steps up their assault on Ukraine big time right up to the unleashing of Nukes. Most likely this is going to happen. I see a definite option for Putin to use nukes.
3.Russia calls Biden’s bluff and attacks a Nato country.

I see this like Russo-Japanese War. Ukranian military is much more advanced and they are fighting at home so they have that advantage.

Russia is going to be humiliated so they can launch nukes at Ukraine. What will the West do about that?

Something fishy is going on. The Moskva should have been able to defend itself from a Ukrainian missile attack.

"What happens when the nukes start to fly?"

The outcome may depend on how long the expansionist dictatorships of a new axis are allowed to continue to build up their jalopy nuclear weapons forces. We might be seeing a choice between bad (nuclear exchanges) and worse (larger nuclear exchanges followed by slavery).

It is also sometimes an error to recede before bullies.

It was reported that Ukrainian UAV spotted Moskva at high seas about 60 miles away from Snake Island. Ukrainian UAV distracted the Moskva anti-missile defense amid two Ukrainian's Neptune R-360 anti-ship cruise missile homed at the Russian flag ship, kaboom.

So many Internet rumors so little actual news.

Reports are MOSKVA was sailing in consistent pattern giving Ukes chance to plot ambush

Used drones to harass and distract Russians to launch attack from different direction

OK, but the ship should have been able to defend itself. It was a missile cruiser! And I’ll bet it had escort ships with it. Someone screwed up badly. That ship should never have gone down.

Should have - according to what we thought that the Russians would have some training at the same level as us. But they don’t.

Just like how they sent their tanks without support.

Just like how they didn’t plan a supply chain.

The Russian military is good against the Islamic state, but against western powers it is a flop.

This is not an aberration - in the 1700s and 1800s the Russian military was primarily used for stomping on internal dissent and also to fight khanates in the Caucasus and Central Asia. But when they went up against western powers in the 1850s they were crushed.

Yes, but for some reason it didn’t.

These missiles fly close to the water...

Does Russia have tactical nukes? You know, small that could take out a small village or town? Or explode in some remote area to show their force.

I would think that would bring them all to the bargaining table.

If Russia is this bad, I wouldn’t be surprised if China is worse, and they would have a harder time trying to invade Taiwan...

Putin is the only one driving this invasion, he's the only one with the fantasies about re-creating "Greater Russia", if he's gone Russia can become semi-normal again

Russia has already said it would only use nukes in the case of an "existential threat"

losing battles to Ukraine in a bungled invasion that never should have happened DOES NOT meet that strict test

stop the needless nuke hysteria
