1/5 Here's RFS #Moskva a few weeks before the outbreak of the #UkraineWar during an exercise in the Black Sea. She has now sunk, poss due to enemy action or an internal explosion. More in depth analysis will follow via @WarshipsIFR It is a big blow to Russian Navy BUT... 
@WarshipsIFR 2/5 ...in terms of the capabilities needed by the RuNavy for current war on #Ukraine modern frigates like RFS Essen (seen here in official pic) & Improved Kilo Class submarines such as RFS Rostov na Donu ( @devrimyaylali image) are more relevant (Kalibr missiles etc).
@WarshipsIFR @devrimyaylali 3/5 When it comes to a little historical context, last loss of a cruiser in war was ARA General Belgrano in Falklands War, 40 yrs ago this month by UK SSN Conqueror. However, S. Korean corvette ROKS Cheonan sunk by N. Korean mini sub in March 2010. Pics: Argentine & US official.
