The Ukrainian attack on the Russian missile cruiser Moskva<\/a> on April 14 was surrounded by a certain mystery due to the absence of images. Until now.<\/p>\n

Hard blow to Russia: it loses the Moskva cruiser, the flagship of its Black Sea fleet<\/a><\/rel>
\nA recreation in a simulator of the Ukrainian attack on the Russian cruiser Moskva<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

\u041cike Right (@BormanIke) posted this photo of the damaged ship<\/a> at 0:12 CET, noting the following: \"And here is the first confirmed picture of \u201cMoscow\u201d after the incident. There are traces of a powerful fire in the compartments, traces of damage to the skin under the main superstructure and a capsize to port<\/strong> (all, according to reports from the Ukrainian Armed Forces). PU with KR are intact, their detonation obviously did not occur.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a second tweet, Mike points out that the photo was taken on April 15<\/a>, that is, the same day it sank<\/strong> as a result of the damage sustained in the attack with two Ukrainian R-360 Neptun missiles.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, at 0:41 CET, Ukraine Weapons Tracker posted this other photo of the damaged ship<\/a>, taken from a further distance than the previous one. The column of smoke that rises from the central part of the ship is larger and thicker<\/strong>, and shows the serious damage suffered in the Ukrainian attack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

+ ACTUALIZADO 2:11h: I have made this enlargement of the first photo <\/strong>to observe in more detail the damage to the central part of the ship:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As @bhangm3ter<\/a> points out on Twitter, the small black spots seen on the hull coincide with many other portholes (windows) on the ship<\/strong>, indicating a strong fire inside the ship. In addition, a larger stain is observed to the left, which could be the impact of the missile near the waterline, which listed the ship to port.<\/strong> In this photo by George Chernilevsky<\/a> I have marked with a red rectangle the part of the ship that would have been most damaged by the attack:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this Reuters photo I have marked the same area. As can be seen, the Ukrainian attack would have hit the back of the bridge, very close to the P-1000 Vulcan missile launchers.<\/strong> The attack would have hit the height of the structure that supported the air defense radar antennas: the large 3D Voskhod MR-800 air search and the small 2D MR-500, both long-range (these are the antennas that can be seen above the red rectangle in this photo).<\/p>\n

+ UPDATED 2:30 a.m.: Analyst and ship expert Y\u00f6r\u00fck I\u015f\u0131k has pointed out that the rescue ship from which the photos were taken could be the Russian tugboat SB742<\/a>, of the type Project 22870 and which is part of the 145th Rescue Ship Squadron of the Black Sea Fleet. In addition, the Hisutton.com<\/a> website has published this analysis of the first of the photos<\/strong> (click on the image to see it enlarged):<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Hisutton.com notes: \"The center of the damage appears to be amidships in the region of the funnels.<\/strong> This is aft of (behind) the main P-1000 Vulkan (SS-N-12 SANDBOX) anti-ship missiles and ahead of the S-300F Rif (SA-N-6 GRUMBLE) air-defense missiles. It is also in the vicinity of the engines.<\/strong>\"<\/em> Furthermore, it adds: \"All the aft liferaft boats have been launched, although one remains on the aft deck. This suggests that the crew has already abandoned ship at this point.<\/strong>\"<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
