Ukraine Damages Russia's Flagship Moskva

Moskva, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, is a 12,500-ton, 612-foot mobile missile battery with enough anti-ship missiles to wipe out the entire Ukrainian navy and enough air-defense missiles to swat away any conceivable aerial attack on the Black Sea Fleet’s amphibious flotilla... until now.

Evidently the Moskva was hit when Ukraine flew a TB2 UCAV to distract the ship while it was targeted by a Neptun missile strike.

Or "squirrel!"

The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that "the ship was seriously damaged" but crew was completely evacuated. Others have said the ship rolled onto its side after the strike.

Huh.

So the claim that the Moskva had "enough air-defense missiles to swat away any conceivable aerial attack on the Black Sea Fleet’s amphibious flotilla" was a bit of an overstatement.

And yet more examples of Trump's "smart" and "savvy" Puppet Master.
