It's hard to fathom the depths to which they'll plunge (but not in ship shape, I mean "this case")
They can do some real serious damage if they've got the right gear. The Ukraine army is a well drilled, effective and fearless fighting force. And every last man and civilian will also do their bit. I have nothing but admiration for them in the face of the overwhelming odds they fight against. The great shame is that the West dragged its feet for so long in providing these weapons. Many lives could have been saved, and certain atrocities avoided.
My great fear is that Putin will be enraged, and if more of the Russian fleet is targeted it may tip him over the edge towards a response that will outrage the world.
Confirmed by the Russian media (TASS) - Moskva HAS been hit
They are very sketchy on details and merely claim the crew has been evacuated.
Hopefully it's true,
But the videos circulating now of her sinking are false.
It's from a sinking in 2019, just with a new green filter.

"Seems as how you've been taking notes: I've been calling the Russians "Russkis" and the Americans "Yanks" too :) That may have escaped your sensitivities though"
A new twist on boards "whataboutery"
They are claiming a fire broke out in the ships magazine,
Not a mention of why the magazine caught fire ,
So you’re delighted Ukrainians are fighting till the last man?
But scared Putin might nuke the world if he’s loosing?
All for one and one for all.
Serves them right for having naughty magazines.
It's still in use today .
And being Russia tends to be a bit slower than others Nations to change over to better tech it's quite possible they still use it today
Maybe the Scorpions can rush out a new version of Wind of Change to mark the occasion
Follow the Moskva
Down to the bottom of the Black Sea
would have to work on the scansion...
Notable that the Ukrainians said at least two or three hours ago they hit the Moskva with two missiles. How would they have known about an issue on board a Russian ship several hours ago if they were not responsible for it and had not caused it? My money is on the Moskva being hit by missiles alright.
Who lives under a pineapple under the Black Sea .
SpongeBob Moskva
Ukrainian sources saying they fired two Neptune missiles at Moskva which had been hidden in Odesa.....a massive coup for them.
The Kreminal:
During the course of the "Special Choice of Words Operation" our personnel and equipment may be wisely utilised in "Special Reincarnation Operations" and "Special Recycling Operations".
Ah balls, it's definitely not been hit so.
Well they're still lying through their teeth as per usual - trying to claim it had nothing to do with the Ukrainians and a chip pan caught fire or something.
I call an official announcement confirmation:
"Confirmed that the guided missile cruiser "Moscow" today went exactly where it was sent by our border guards on the island of Zmiiny!
Missiles "Neptune" which are on guard of the Black Sea caused the Russian ship very serious damage - Odessa Regional State Administration."

@Jinglejangle69 - So you’re delighted Ukrainians are fighting till the last man?
I said: "every last man and civilian will also do their bit"
There's a difference to what you're implying I said.
@Jinglejangle69 - But scared Putin might nuke the world if he’s loosing?
I said: "a response that will outrage the world"
I meant a mass chemical weapons attack. I didn't mention nukes, or nuking the world as you so wildly put it.
I suggest you read a post properly before typing asinine replies. That, or don't post after midnight.
Incidentally, my posts average approximately 5 "thanks" per post. Yours average approximately 0.5 "thanks" per post. That speaks volumes on how Boards users see my views, and your made up waffle.
The Orcs seem to have a huge problem with their naval shipyards. Refits of ships to make them attractive to foreign buyers have been taking years and running way over budget, with the yard demanding billions more than the price agreed by the Russian government.
The smokey Admiral Kuznetsov has been out of commission since before the war started.
The Taliban saw them off with less.
Damn those radar-guided chip pans.
Have you never seen a chip pan with wings before?
"The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden significantly expands the intelligence that is transmitted to Ukraine.
U.S. intelligence will transfer expanded data to Ukraine so that the military can attack the occupiers' units in the uncontrolled part of Donbas and in the annexed Crimea.
This writes The Wall Street Journal with reference to senior officials of the Biden administration."
This is likely very significant.
I think it's a natural extension of what they're already doing. And a massive reason as to why Ukraine are still even in this war.
Putin must be seething and incandescent with rage at the amount of support the West are giving Ukraine.
I’d say there are a few recently promoted Russian generals reading that with trepidation, while looking skyward…..
Anyone think there's life or death musical chairs going on in the Kremlin tonight as everyone tries not to be the one to tell the king of the orcs the good news.
Cant wait for a Ukraine fired Neptunes version of the Hitler getting bad news in the bunker scene.
Appears the Moskva has sunk. Naval experts are pointing out this is the biggest wartime loss of a ship since WW2 - the Moskva was bigger than the famous 'General Belgrano' which was sunk by the British during the Falklands War.
This is a huge propaganda coup for the Ukrainians. All Kremlin state TV was giving the brainwashed disciples every evening was how well the special operation was going. The loss of the biggest ship in the Russian fleet is an absolute hammer blow. No way can those liars cover this one up - the Ukrainians will be able to produce a ton of evidence tomorrow morning they were responsible for the sinking as well as intercepted Russia radio traffic etc.
Obviously news of this will never reach the ears of Russians - certainly a coup for the Ukrainians unless of course some soldier really did fill the chip pan above the max level line with oil
