Has it sunk? Thought it was being towed back to port for repairs?
What was it doing anywhere near hostile coastline. Hasn't it got a huge range like over 1000km, as a supposed Flag Ship cruiser. But it really doesn't take much to use fast attack boat gunships either. These are becoming a huge threat with the correct arms, as well as from drone payloads. After a spyplane, or satellite coordinates.
The odds are, it was Ukraine's newly acquired Neptune missiles that hit it. Unexpectedly.
But in either event. It just means Odesa is gonna get bombarded twice as much.
Was it from mobile missile batteries? I find this harder to believe. They should have seen it coming. Surely that missile can be outfitted on a few means.
No it doesn't have the cruise missile range I thought it did, different ship. It had far more tech. Still straying near hostile coastline is not good cover..
Tech coverage, lots of radar, probably using it to identify stuff. It can also hunt submarines. But what it wasn't was much of a gunship. It mainly had defenses, by looking at that wiki. I still dunno know why it was a Flagship.
Yea going near the coast with that is asking for more problems.
But they had destroyed the Ukrainian navy. Apart from possibly smaller craft. So it edged closer. Then with Ukraine being resupplyed with arms, whoops.
Victories like this is what Ukraine is fighting for, the bigger the targets the more it wears down the enemy, bogging them down.
Almost laughable. Except Odesa will faster get levelled.
Now they have. There was plenty of mixed reports on it.
In understanding it needed damage assessment. They probably let it. Because it was still afloat. Wasn't worth it. Again mixed reports. But it has sunk according to their release.
Because contrary to the press claims it wasn't some badass ship. It was released in 1979. It hadn't been outfitted with their latest acquisitions, like others similar to that class, and was rather dated. What it was, mainly radar. It wasn't really firing on ground targets. According to them. Although it might have been tracking some. It was largely radar, even it was dated. But it should have seen launchers firing. Begging what that release was, if indeed better arms. However they claim it didn't have the latest upgrades to stop them.
In either event garbage disposal. Although it's still a loss.
I can link or you can find.
Their version could also be accurate where they scrambled to fire at incoming and it caused the munition store too. But by the percentages it's still a Ukrainian win. It is garbage now.

Not good either story.
