Ukrainian military constantly monitored the movements of the cruiser. And here is April 13, 2022 naval forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine got the opportunity conduct an operation of which in modern history 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62 one According to the reconstruction of the publication Ukrainian truth, which communicated with informed people from the military sphere, the Ukrainian missiles of Neptune, the weather and self -confidence of Russians, ~ 60 > help to destroy the flagship of the Russian Federation. invaders were confident in their inaccessibility for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. That is why 13 April Cruiser Moscow approached the Ukrainian coast at a distance of 120 km , which became a fatal step for him. On that day, there were adverse weather conditions: clouds were tightened over the Black Sea, as a result of which neither the aircraft, nor the Bayractar, nor optical satellites could track targets into the sea. In addition, the Ukrainian defenders did not have Zagorisont radars, only ordinary ones, which practically do not see the goal further than 18 km.

< Blockquote >~ 60 > – they (the invaders on the cruiser, — Red .) They understood them from the sky, from the shore – too. Plus, they have very serious air defense systems on board and other protection systems. Therefore, they sailed 120 km to the Ukrainian coast. And this self -confidence destroyed them, ”said one of the Ukrainian rackets involved in the creation of Neptunes in the commentary.

62 > 62 > 62 ~ about 16: 00 On that day, the operator of the Neptune complex in the Odessa region recorded a large object on the radars. In this sector of the Black Sea, it could only be the cruiser Moscow.

an ordinary radar should not have recorded a target at a distance of 120 km. Here, Ukrainian soldiers nature could help . A signal from “ corridor ” There was nowhere to go between the sea and dense clouds, it was reflected from clouds to the surface of the water and vice versa. And at some point, the radar discovered Moscow.

< Blockquote > cruiser approached the distance achievable for the Armed Forces (120 km) and entered the defeat of Ukrainian anti -ship missiles of Neptune. They are able to fly at a distance of up to 300 km at a subsonic speed of 900 km/h and maneuver. And in the final section of the rocket trajectory, it flies above the surface of the water at a supername height of 3 to 10 m. Thus, it becomes invisible to the enemy radars. 60 ~/blackQUTE > 62 ~ After the coordinates set, the receipt of confirmation from the allies is towards the cruiser Moscow, two missiles of Neptune with a small interval. both hit the target .

confirmation of this are several photos, one short video and one interception from the Russian tugboat, unsuccessfully trying to save the flagship of the fleet of the Russian Federation, which went to the bottom along with hundreds of crew members. < blockquote >– Island, 4, I am a second tug, as you hear, the reception is ? second tugboat, I confirm – 690, abnormal, part 1 … As you hear ? Moscow the first – two holes, the screw stood up, went on its side … The battery is damaged, I confirm the holes below the waterline. The bridge is cut off, silent. The roll is 30 degrees, will fall on the side. Carry out – there is no move to rapprochement, we carry out the feasible salvation of the crew, the interception says, which was shown in the film Battle for the island of Zmein. Sea.

After the missiles hit the cruiser, a strong fire arose, the detonation of ammunition took place. The flagship of the Russian fleet received very serious damage and leaned to the side.

meanwhile the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that the fire supposedly occurred as a result of the detonation of ammunition, the crew was evacuated, and the ship itself tried to tow in the port in the temporarily occupied Crimea. At the same time, the Russian Federation recognized that the cruiser received serious damage.

1422 in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation finally confirmed the loss of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet . Russian propaganda announced a statement that the ship supposedly sank due to the storm during its towing “ in the destination ”. 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > According to sources of UP, the first critical hours for towing the ship to the occupied Crimea were lost due to a storm in the Black Sea. The next day he fell silent, but it was too late. Therefore, sailors from the incident of Russian ships who arrived at the place of the incident could only observe how the cruiser Moscow is going to the bottom. Judging by the photo and video released by Osint analysts, at that moment the sea was already perfectly smooth, and black smoke rose above the ship.

according to the Defense Express military portal, damage to the cruiser indicates that Neptune defended the Air Defense system, the S-300 Fort Wasp, as well as the AK-630, from the hit of the missiles. At the same time, the air defense systems were not even deployed in a combat position. This may indicate that the crew of Moscow “ overslept ” APU attack.

The number of victims and dead invaders on the cruiser Moscow is definitely not known. The staff of the ship’s crew, according to various sources, was from 510 to 758 people.

officially in the Russian Federation they declared 27 missing people and the death of one soldier named Ivan Vakhrushev. And 396 the military supposedly managed to evacuate.

subsequently the so -called court in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol recognized the dead of 17 Russian sailors who served on the sunken cruiser. according to the edition of Forbes Ukraine, cruiser Moscow became the most expensive loss of the Russian Federation in the war against our country. Its cost is is estimated at about $ 750 million .

But this is still a symbol of Russian military power on the Black Sea, ”explained in the commentary the agency BBC Professor Michael Petersen , Director of the Study of the Marine Potential of the Russian Federation under the Navy college USA.

as for military significance, according to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, destruction of the cruiser Moscow allowed: 60 ~/p > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62 < ul > < li > free the island of the snake;

intelligence emphasized that the destruction of the cruiser became the stunning success of the Ukrainian military. and in state border service noted that the sinking of Moscow#8220; has no analogues in history ”. ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ex-minister of defense ~ 60 > Aleksey Reznikov mentioned that on April 13, 2022, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces & Amp;#8220; rewritten the centuries-old history ”. According to him, on this day the era of Russian dominance on the Black Sea ended – which seemed an incredible event, because Russia last lost its flagship more than a hundred years ago.

– Our warriors made, it would seem, impossible. And this changed the course of history. For a chain reaction began. This was the last day of the dominance of the Russian fleet on the Black Sea, – Reznikov wrote on his Facebook page.

he called the three important consequences of this event:

62 > 62 > 1. successful use of Ukrainian missiles Neptune to such a distance convinced the Allies convinced with the supply of anti -ship missiles Harpoon. 62 > 2. after receiving Harpoon, the Ukrainian military successfully used them, which led to the flight of Russian invaders from the island of snake. 3. snake release allowed “ grain corridor ” Through the Black Sea, thanks to which Ukraine can export its agrarian products.

Reznikov specified that it would be impossible to achieve this result without the destruction of the cruiser.

he recalled that because of this, the fleet of the Russian Federation was “ forced to hide south and east from Crimea ”, and the Kremlin’s plans for landing in the Odessa region remained in the past. 62 ~ commander of the naval forces of the Armed Forces Alexey Nezhpap spoke in an interview with Crimea. The realities that the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation isolated the area of hostilities and led the ships that the Russian invaders held the snake from the island to Cape Tarkhankut in the occupied. ~ 60 > 62 > Nezhpap assumes that Moscow was there for non -removal of ships of the North Atlantic Alliance or to prevent the withdrawal of Ukrainian ships from this area, and a successful operation to destroy the cruiser nullified the Kremlin strategy.
