UHH, even the Russians are admitting that Slava, I mean Moscow, is sitting on the bottom of the Black sea after sinking.Moskva a Slava class cruiser wasn't "sunk". Stop spreading false lies.
It was apparently hit by one or 2 Neptunes (Soviet anti-ship missiles) which caused fires on the outboard munitions. Which is called damage to the superstructure and happens all the time in naval warfare. Russia or US would just fix the ship and put it back in service.
That being said, Russia knows that NATO is out of munitions and is pressing its advantage in the operational pause to tell them to "quit it".
Russia has a lot more weapons to unleash and we don't know how much a whipping boy they will turn Ukraine into.
Want to see stand-off nuclear tipped cruise missiles in action?
Want to see hypersonics destroy Lviv in a matter of minutes?
I hypothesized some time ago Russia was using and dragging out Ukraine as a whipping boy to lure NATO into bad situations. Because one misstep from Baltics and they are gone. NATO WILL NOT DEFEND THE BALTICS.
That is not a paper tiger you want to try to use in a fight and Russia knows it.
