This is coming in piping hot so take with a grain of salt, but seems impossible they didn’t have a ton of casualties if there were substantial munition detonations onboard

Discussion on the method of the attack

Sounds like the ships are pulling away from the coasts, according to this, which does imply it was a directed attack/action from Ukraine.

Glory to the heroes.

Special Operation put out the fires has been successfully executed. Moskva have been awarded the classification of submarine.

Russia's own propaganda just makes them look more incompetent "Yup our flagship $750 million Warship just suddenly burst into flames and sunk'.

Also it was Ukraine made weapon (NEPTUN), so it's not like it was large sum which makes the "Russian warship go fuck itself". That I find even more amazing.

Good. But could someone please explain the Russians that no matter what the actual facts are there's no one left on this planet believing their absolute scraping the barrels psychopathic fantasy stories anymore.

Not a nice way to go drowning in the sea. But they attacked civilians so....

Roman Tsymbaliuk: 14 sailors from the destroyed #Moskva arrived via speedboat to #Sevastopol late last night. Ambulances were already waiting for them at the docks. 496 crew members remain unaccounted for.​

So what will Putin respond with after a humiliation like this? How close are we getting to him dropping the first nuke over Ukraine?

For all we know he’s already tried and failed a dozen times

After reports speculated Moskva was being towed to Sevastopol in Crimea this monument stood out as a point of interest made more appropriate now.

Monument to the Sunken Ships - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The monument was erected in 1905 on the 50th anniversary of the Siege of Sevastopol, during the Crimean War, in which many ships of the Imperial Russian Navy were scuttled, most of them part of the Black Sea Fleet.
Created by Estonia sculptor Amandus Adamson

So you are asking some random people on gaming forum what are the chances of nuclear war?

I wouldn't stress about it. Nuclear weapons are not realistically in the table. Putin is crazy, but he isn't that crazy.

It's amazing how Ukraine has resisted, from the beginning I though Russia was the second army of the world and would just steam rolled Ukraine in a week.
The Russian army is certainly not a first world army, their image was just propaganda.

I don't think it's a possibility right now:
- would be a sign of desperation
- it's a last resort weapon, things could escalate beyond his control
- he's still repeating his fairytales about liberating and helping ukrainian people, even the most fanatical russians would start having serious doubts
- would result in burning all the bridges down in relations with most countries, even those that are friendly/neutral right now

I see no gains, he's not that dumb.

The thing you have to remember is what the response would be. If Putin were to drop a nuclear weapon anywhere, the retaliation would likely be instant and terrible. He doesn’t want to die. If he launches a nuclear weapon himself, he knows his chances of dying increase hugely.

 

[LQX]

If Russia did indeed lose their flagship to "ammunition fire" then they should take it as a clear sign everything is working against. What are the odds?

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Putin promised >7 million rubles to each of the families of Russian's killed in action in Ukraine. This is why they are claiming the sinking of the Moskva was an accident.​

As much as people like to bandy around borderline conspiracies, getting footage of combat just isn't a priority. Why risk losing an asset just for some propaganda (not necessarily the bias type)?

It's good to be skeptical and critical, but often there isn't some big cover up.

This isn't for our entertainment.

First off, it was the Ukrainian defence minister himself that disclosed the operation against the Russian flagship. This was later walked back by his adviser who would not confirm nor deny the event happened (it happened).

Secondly such footage would further highlight what a colossal failure Russia’s military is (something we already know), as well as serve as a huge morale booster especially in the shadow of Mariupol’s imminent fall and continued Russian war crimes across Ukraine. I assumed that Ukraine haven’t disclosed this footage due to OPSec reasons, and perhaps even the footage was not that good given the operation was conducted during stormy and difficult conditions.

 

[FunkMiller]

Perfect.

 

[Lord Panda]

Yep, like I inferred earlier — such an event is catastrophic and is the death knell of a ship (or any craft or vehicle really). There was a tweet earlier that indicated that rescue operations were underway in the least known position of the Moskva: are they Russian vessels being shown there? I'm assuming it's her escorts and support vessels.

 

[Liljagare]

Moskva, our latest secret submarine.

Boy, it'll take a few generations before the rest of the world look at the Russian armed forces, with anything but sad humour.

Bunch of farmers, led by a idiot, trying to remain relevant on the worldstage.


Now, get some spies in there to find out just how many of their nukes are still viable.

That doesn't mean they have footage, and as you admitted, if they do it may well not be good quality. Considering even footage of ground forces firing on drones often isn't of good quality, you know, it may just well be they have better things to do than film it.

As I said, tone the skepticism down. Most things aren't lies. Well, unless your Russian then almost everything is.

Mate, not sure why you seem to be on my ass, when from day one I've been team #ukraine. WTF mate, thought you were one of the decent ones on this site.

And just because we're with the Ukrainians doesn't mean we still can't ponder or exercise rational thought on the news coming out of that warzone. Tone down my skepticism? What in the fuck. Read through my all my posts and then say it again. And who the fuck are you to tell me what I should do or post? Holy shit at your gall.
