#Navy By the way, to the question of the number of R-360 Neptune cruise missiles which currently the Ukrainian Navy has. 🇺🇦Ukrainian officials do not voice exact data for obvious reasons./1

#Navy However, in May 2019, it was announced that the State for Defence Contracts included 120 cruise missiles./2

#Navy The production capabilities of the Luch State Design Bureau (part of the 🇺🇦Ukroboronprom state group company) allow to produce about 50 such missiles per year./3

#Navy Taking into account all the political, financial and technological problems that have existed in 🇺🇦Ukraine in recent years, I think that the arsenal of the Ukrainian Navy at the beginning of the conflict could consist of 15-20 cruise missiles.4/4

#war Photo of the damaged cruiser Moskva in the Black Sea in 15 April 2022.⚠️
First impressions of this shocking photo. Life-saving equipment (rescue rafts) on board are missing, which means they were dropped into the water during the rescue operation./1

The cargo crane is not in a diametrically position and was apparently used to launch ship's boats.The doors of the helicopter hangar are open,but the flight deck is cluttered and not prepared for flights. It is likely that the helicopter remained on board the ship./2

Numerous black spots on board may indicate an internal fire in the compartments of the ship.The antennas of the air defense and SAM radars are in the diametrically position. Cruise missile launchers are not damaged./3

#war As a confirmation of my thesis yesterday about the underestimation by the Russian Navy of the threat of the creation and use by Ukraine of its own anti-ship missiles,I will cite an article published three years ago in a popular 🇷🇺magazine ”Military–industrial complex News”/1

The title of the article is very tendentious: ”Consumer goods: the Ukrainian "Neptune" does not go near the "storm of the seas". Abstract from the article: The expert explained why the Ukrainian Neptune missile does not threaten the Russian Navy./2

It should be noted that in Russian the term ”shirpotreb” was inherited from the harsh reality of the USSR. ”Shirpotreb” is an abbreviated Russian version of the phrase "cheap consumer goods of low quality". The word has a negative connotation./3

#war I think that the main conclusion from the destruction of the cruiser Moscow by a missile strike will be the miscalculations of the 🇷🇺Russian Navy in intelligence and, as a consequence, in the assessment of the 🇺🇦oppositional forces./1

For a long time,information about the development,construction & production of cruise missiles by 🇺🇦 was not taken seriously by the command of the 🇷🇺Navy. The capabilities of the Ukrainian Navy for the combat use of cruise missiles, apparently, were assessed as extremely weak./2

The absence of attempts by the 🇺🇦Ukrainian Navy to use anti-ship cruise missiles during a month and a half of the war probably confirmed the opinion of the command of the 🇷🇺Black Sea Fleet in the incapacity of missile units of Ukraine./3
