Last Thursday video surfaced of Ukraine launching a missile strike on the Russian Moskva. Not just any warship, but a top-of-the-line guided-missile cruiser, which was the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.

It was also the same ship that ordered a handful of Ukrainian troops on tiny Snake Island to surrender. And the response was” Go to hell.”  The Snake Island events happened at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And the defiance of Ukraine continues.

Ukraine’s military is operating at a severe disadvantage. By any measure, Russia has a huge advantage in both numbers, types of weapons, and tactical equipment.

The Ukrainian military touted its “important victory.”  And said they hit the ship with Neptune anti-ship missiles off Ukraine’s battered southern coast on April 14th.

Russian Moskva sinking 

The Russian Moskva is one of the Kremlin’s essential warships. And they admitted it did sink in the Black Sea. But according to the Russian Ministry of Defense it was due to an onboard explosion and fire.
