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).
