Sinking Of The Russian Cruiser Moskva

[Gromit]

The Moskva sank on 14 April 2022 after being damaged by fire. Ukrainian officials said their forces hit Moskva with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles, setting her on fire in heavy seas. The Russian Ministry of Defence said she sank after a fire caused a munitions explosion.

Could this be a turning point in the war ? I hope so.

ynnafymmi "A bit like the Belgrano incident.Both ships and their complements were the victims of the fascist regimes which sent them out to their deaths. " -well I always thought you were a bit on the dim side but that's remarkable. UK is Fascist! Right oh!

I think (in a rare lucid moment in this case) she meant the Argentine regime sent the Belgrano out to be scuttled

[ToraToraTora]

when she said "both ships" I thought she was talking about the Sinker and the Sinkee. ynnafymmi, did you mean "both the ship and its compliment"? If so apologies for my comment at 09:47.

// did you mean "both the ship and its compliment"?//

compliment as in: hello sailor you look like a nice lad, would you like a drink?

or perhaps talking about the men that run the ship. and they say that Mariupol has fallen

Another Russian general bites the dust.

Another reason to celebrate

No, i cannot see this as a turning point. But it is something to cheer everyone up.

The Russians say 1 dead & 27 missing - yeah, ok.
