There are unconfirmed reports that a Ukrainian navy missile battery has struck the Russian navy cruiser Moskva off the coast of Odessa, a strategic port ...

A veritable floating missile-battery, Moskva is—or maybe was—the Black Sea Fleet’s best defense against Ukrainian attack. It’s possible the Ukrainians hit Saratov with a Tochka ballistic missile. Still, the claimed attack on Moskva, if confirmed, would be consistent with the course of the broader naval campaign. Kyiv launched development of the missile back in 2013 and completed the first test shots in 2018. But the pre-war Ukrainian navy probably possessed just one Neptune battery out of the half-dozen or so it planned to induct this spring. So did Maksym Marchenko, head of the administration in Odessa. “Neptune missiles … caused very serious damage to the Russian ship,” Marchenko said.

The ship was seriously damaged," the Russian defence ministry said in a statement. It was originally called "Glory” and is one of three Slava-class guided-missile cruisers. Mr Sutton - the defence analyst - said last month that Russia had amassed a naval force in the Black Sea “much larger than the traditional Black Sea Fleet” which was “centred on amphibious warfare capabilities, meaning landing troops and supplies”.
