Still unconfirmed images of a Russian warship said to be the Makarov burning were circulating on social media.
The latest attack on the Russian navy comes just three weeks after the Ukrainian military sunk the Moskova, the Russian navy’s largest warship and flagship. It went down on April 14th very close by to where the Admiral Makarov was hit. A Neptune precision missile was also blamed for the attack on the Moskova.
The Admiral Makarov was commissioned in 2017, making it one of the newer ships. And it has been described as the most powerful Russian warship in the Black Sea today. Two large frigate class ships are also in the area. And both the “Admiral Grigorovich” and “Admiral Essen” are in the area.
