Russia's Navy Flagship Moskva has been sunk in the Black Sea
Was this attack the use of new advanced technology provide by the West?
A major set back for the Russian Navy as it loses its Flagship carrier the Moskva.
“Russia has lost a significant part of its naval capability in the Black Sea, and its ability to hit targets in Ukraine,” said independent military analyst Pavel Luzhin.
The 186-meter-long vessel is the third-largest in Russia’s active fleet, and crucial to Russian naval power. The only Russian warship capable of carrying nuclear weapons, the Moskva is one of three Soviet-era “Slava”-class guided missile cruisers.
Since Russia launched its attack on neighboring Ukraine in February, the 12,500-ton Moskva has been used as a crucial store of defensive weapons and air defense missiles, as well as a hub for coordinating naval attacks, according to experts.
What makes this story so interesting and intriguing in that one day earlier Zelensky was seen smiling while holding a new stamp. The new stamp seen below is of the Moskva with one Ukrainian solider sending the middle finger salute to the Russians and then the next day the ship sinks from an unknown missile strike?
Alexander Mercouris provides some details on this incidence as well as an update the War in the Ukraine.
Only in the world of James Bond would such a brazen and successful counter attack on the Russian Navy be seen as just a coincidence. Zelensky has obviously acquired some Western help with some advanced technology and it is has changed the game.
It puts the entire campaign to take Odessa, the major Black Sea port which was being targeted next for a Russian assault on hold and must make the Russians very weary about just how vulnerable their naval forces are in the Black Sea and elsewhere.
Will Putin now escalate as he gets more desperate, because he is without doubt losing the media war to win hearts and minds? How many face losing losses will he endure before he lashes out with a nuke or two?
And of course no ritual sacrifice would be complete from the Jesuits unless it was done by the numbers and letters.
