Explores in detail the Moskva, the guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy and flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The cruiser was deployed in military conflicts in Georgia (2008), Crimea (2014), and Syria (2015), and was sunk in April 2022 during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
ΒMoskvaΒ gained its ΒfameΒ thanks to the spectacular sinking which took place during the hostilities during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Russian missile cruiser ΒMoskvaΒ, until 1995 called ΒSlavaΒ, was the first unit of a very interesting type of ship of the project 1164, characterized by, inter alia, 16 anti-ship missile launchers set inclined in the bow section. Project 1164 missile cruisers, which, apart from ΒMoskvaΒ, also include ΒVaryagΒ (ex-ΒRed UkraineΒ), ΒMarshal UstinovΒ (ex-ΒAdmiral LobovΒ) and ΒUkraineΒ (ex-ΒKomsomoletsΒ, ex-ΒFleet Admiral LobovΒ), when they entered service, were considered to be among the best in their class. They had enormous firepower, and thanks to their technologically advanced missiles, they were called Βaircraft carrier killersΒ, due to their primary purpose, which was to destroy American aircraft carriers. ΒMoskvaΒ gained its ΒfameΒ thanks to the spectacular sinking which took place during the hostilities during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. After she fired on Snake Island on February 24, whose personnel refused to lay down their arms, on April 13, 2022, around 19.00 she was hit by two anti-ship missiles. At that time, approximately 60 nautical miles south of Odessa, the cruiser was badly damaged. A fire broke out and ammunition exploded.
