Published the first photo of the burning cruiser "Moskva"

56

A photo of the burning Russian cruiser Moskva appeared on the Web. The ship has a significant roll to the left, the superstructure is damaged. However, the main caliber - P-1000 Vulkan missiles - remained intact.

According to the official statement of the Russian military department, the Moskva cruiser, after a fire and detonation of ammunition on board, sank on April 14 while being towed to the port. Operations to rescue the ship prevented the beginning of the storm.



On Saturday, April 16, a farewell ceremony was held in Sevastopol for the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The event took place in the city square of the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet.

The construction of the cruiser began in 1976 in Nikolaev, the Moskva was launched in 1979, and three years later it was put into operation. The lead ship of project 1164 "Atlant" was involved in the Russian-Georgian conflict in 2008, as well as in military operations in Syria in 2015. During the Russian special operation in Ukraine, "Moskva" took part in taking control of the Ukrainian island of Serpents.

    The cruiser was in the Odessa region, closer to Romania! A new phased array locator was installed on it a year ago, the illumination range is 500 km! Why was he there? Ukrainian planes flew to the airfield in Romania, and from there they took off towards the sea, made a detour, and from the Odessa side went ashore, then flew to Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye, and struck at the Russian troops! All airfields in the area of ​​​​Nikolaev and Odessa are broken, and they could not understand from where? Therefore, they drove Moscow with a powerful locator! It began to shine, and crests began to be intercepted from the airfields of the Crimea and from near Donetsk. Our Su 35 shot down 9 MiGs and Sushki! All this was calculated by NATO! And here is the result! First, drones hit the cruiser, smashed radars and antennas! The cruiser shot down one! But already half blind! Then Khokhols launched 2 Neptune cruise missiles from the shore! Guidance was carried out by NATO's Orion, which hung over Romania, he also turned on the REP, and lit up the cruiser's air defense detection station! The missiles went to the ship, with the homing heads turned off, so that the ship would not detect the radiation beam, the guidance was carried out by Orion NATO! By transmitting the exact coordinates of the ship to the missiles! Outcome. 2 hits, detonation of ammunition, and the cruiser began to sink!

      You should write fantastic novels) Look at the Volna anti-aircraft missile guidance station (on the aft superstructure, almost on the roof of the helicopter hangar). It is deployed on the march, not in combat, which means that missiles from the cruiser did not work on air targets.

      Judging by the photo, one gets the impression that they caught one rocket, along the midsection. The second (in the stern), if it was, did not explode (there was no particular damage to the stern, but there was a fire).
      The cellars of the Fort air defense system also burned (the question is - what led to the fire? It can be assumed that the first missile entered from the bow side, and the blast wave, etc. went to the stern - then it is understandable), this can be seen from the tan marks on board, but this area the ship is outwardly the most complete.

      Left side.

      The fact of the matter is that the roll speaks of the flooding of the compartments, but as a result of which - underwater holes or these are the consequences of extinguishing - it does not explain. Detailed photos of the ship would tell a lot (the nature of the damage from a mine, anti-ship missiles and an internal explosion is different), but they are not, and, most likely, they will not be. He did not reach Sevastopol

      However, if we take into account the fact that the ship still sank, then the damage to the underwater part should be more than serious. Mines of the NM type with 20 kg of TNT are not capable of such. Only internal explosions could do this.

      Could it be that the mine made a hole in the power plant compartment, caused a fire, which somehow went into the aft aft compartments, into the compartment with the launchers and cellars of the Fort air defense system, and the missiles were already detonated? Judging by the photo, this part of the ship was also on fire. And the arrow is out.
      But the thing is that the compartment where the Fort is located is along the diametrical plane. There are no cellars on the right and left sides. A roll to port, and a good roll.

    The bad thing is that the real state of affairs is hushed up. And if the NATO Orion highlighted the target, then this is a direct participation in the conflict, i.e. ours will have to turn on the response, and then the 3rd World War.

      explain how he could highlight the target? Rockets of the "Harpoon" type ("Neptune" and Kh-35) are completely autonomous after launch. They first follow the INS (autopilot), then their own active seeker works. You do not know the device of the rocket and the principle of its guidance?

      NATO could give target designation, i.e. data for programming the rocket's autopilot, for loading a flight task into it before launch. Everything, after the launch, the rocket is absolutely autonomous and does not depend on a person at all. What other backlight and why is it needed?

      The question is what condition is it in? The hull can get such holes that it either makes no sense to lift it, or when trying to lift it, it can simply fall apart into several parts. Recall that the BOD "Brave" (which died due to the spontaneous launch of one of the missiles, the subsequent fire and detonation of the BC and whose team, by the way, was a multiple winner in combat and other training) was not lifted, although it lay only 130 meters and on board he had something interesting - the condition of the hull did not allow to get the ship. His remains were finished off on the ground with explosive charges.
      There is nothing interesting on the "Moskva" (perhaps, except for the ZAS equipment), the ship is almost fifty dollars and it has not undergone major upgrades. It was repaired - yes, but it was not radically updated.

    ... An interesting, but so far unconfirmed version of the fate of the cruiser Moskva has appeared. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has not yet officially expressed itself in any way.
    The ship had a phased array locator with an illumination range of 500 km, which allowed it to track the fact that the aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took off from airfields in Romania and flew at low altitude to the Dnieper and Kharkov. So 9 MiGs and Sushki of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were shot down. It's all calculated in NATO. First, the cruiser was hit by drones, locators and antennas were smashed. According to unconfirmed information, the MRAU was inflicted by Kh-35 missiles from Su-24 tactical bombers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the RK-360MTs Neptune coastal missile system. The target designation was given by the NATO Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the Bayraktar TB-2 UAVs delivered a distracting strike. As a result, on the night of April 13-14, 22 aviation and coastal anti-ship missiles were launched at the cruiser Moskva.
