Sunk by Ukraine missiles!

Russians claim there was a fire onboard and the crew abandoned ship. The ship was being towed back to port and has now sunk according to SkyNews.

The Moskva is a missile cruiser of the Black Sea Fleet.

Russia has confirmed that it's sunk

Absolutely spiffing news. Lionel " Buster" Crabb will be cheering in heaven ( one for older readers).

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Brilliant news!

F### you Putin!

 

[Curryman]

Another step towards Putin using nukes?

Black sea, Black day for Putin.

 

[Chunkylad]

There was indeed a fire on board that caused it so the Ruskies aren’t lying. It was caused by two big feck off Neptune missles…..
That’s a lot of roubles down the swanny

 

[1966_and_all_that]

One of the Black Sea Fleet's anti-aircraft defenders too. Shame that Ukraine hasn't the resources to take advantage of this.

However it's been sunk, some poor bugger will have a lot of paperwork to deal with (in triplicate) when he rolls up for work today!!

"I know I signed for it on my battleship chit, but some numbnuts has either left all the watertight doors open, or ordered a 'missile-a-gram' "

Apparently the largest warship sunk in combat since ww2. Previously the Belgrano .

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

That’s 2 big ships sunk inside 2 weeks.
Hundreds of tanks, armoured vehicles, aircraft, missile launchers, drones, and of course thousands of personnel all gone but yet more pouring in to eastern Ukraine.

Any yet some European countries are still funding the war regime by buying Russia’s gas.

So Ukraine sink a Russian warship and Russia's reply is 'we're going to bomb your capital!
Think if I was Zelensky I'd say sod it and send a missile to the Kremlin!

But yet according to Russia it caught fire and wasn’t attacked by Ukrainian missiles?

Putin might have a problem explaining why the Kremlin was now a pile of rubble. Maybe one of the kitchen staff left the gas cooker on.

Wonder if China are considering taking back Outer Manchuria whilst Russia is distracted? That would make things interesting.

The thought does occur that, if you have an economy based on oil and gas, and a land border with China, you really do want as many friends in the west as possible.

Ship’s captain killed according to various media reports.

The problem is Putin will want revenge, and will do so by levelling another city or destroying large parts of Kiev.

They're doing that anyway.

True

He will but it doesn’t mean Ukraine shouldn’t use every means possible to hinder Russia wherever they can.
If they aren’t fighting back then it’s not a war. What does Putin expect , effin moron.

With you on this one Jaffa. NATO should be pouring stuff into Ukraine. Not just the logistical stuff like personnel carriers, but bullets and rockets.

 

[Lost Seasider]

Telegraph are reporting that hundreds, perhaps the vast majority of the crew, were killed in the incident,

It’s certainly got under Putins skin. He seems outraged that Ukraine have the nerve to fight back.

It was a mistake to stop at Berlin at the end of WW2
