@@Mike-wx9jl Main reason I doubt this idea is that the Ukrainian accounts mentioned the attack *before* reports of the Moskva being in trouble arrived. If they were just claiming a missile hit for propaganda after the Russians blew themselves up, there would have been some lag between first reports of the ship being in trouble and them claiming responsibility.

@@johnwolf2349 Well... the theoretical possibility is always that Murphy's Law went into effect. Missile hits the Moskva, in and of itself doesn't do anything, but thanks to any number of other things that may or may not happen over the course of a ship getting hit with a missile, a fire breaks out. Missile causes an internal fire on the Moskva without the missile actually igniting anything on its own. It hit me now... operating procedure probably would have been to switch all power to anti-missile batteries. Was this perhaps an electrical fire?

It’s important to remember it. If one were actually in the fight, there is a psychological purpose (maybe even a necessity) to dehumanize the poor bastards shooting at you and being shot at by you. It’s really a tradition of war to call the enemy derogatory nicknames. For example, Germans in WWI were called Huns, in WWII they were called Krauts. So the Russians are called Orcs. And it’s not that weird a comparison due to Putin being similar to Sauron in most ways. (The biggest difference being that Putin’s ring is undergoing prolapse.) I save my breath in criticizing non fighters calling Russians Orcs. If white people are going to criticize other white people, who am I to argue? I do feel sympathy for the Russian dead, the crippled, and their families. But that sympathy is dwarfed by the deep sadness I feel for all of Ukraine.

I agree, but how do people, like me, try not to feel relieved when a regiment that was at Bucha and Irpin is completely erased from existence? I know there are so many young boys that suffered at the hands of Putin's ambitions. But they were his tools in perpetuating an array of violence against innocent people, including other children.

I've heard here and there how this connect to the deep rooted corruption of the Russian government. The state would actually issue funds for training and repairs, but of course those funds would disappear in some decorated pocket. On paper the trainings were done "but it did happen to be more expensive than expected" and ditto for repairs. As for the actual training there have been reports of soldiers essentially just running laps, as that is cheap. The crux however is that Russia installed such crooked officers because they are crooked, ergo, easily bought and loose with rules. That is if the officer didn't just buy the position from the higher officer for "mutual benefit." And today we can see just how far corruption, if widespread enough for enough time, can absolutely rot away an army. The army never expected to be used as an army, they had cushy jobs embezzling funds away. Russia's army is a parade army, and it is sad that they've send the world's largest marching band to their deaths.

It’s the only part of the video I disliked tbh. Because Russians are orcs, not humans.

I'm active duty military and I personally see this whole continuation of the invasion of Ukraine as a waste of human life. In my opinion this whole conflict should have been over before the end of the first month as neither the diplomatic nor the military goals have succeeded at all are within Russian reach. For example: Russia wanted an end to NATO expansion towards the Russian border, instead it swung opinion on joining in both Sweden and Finland, resulting in NATO now having even more direct border area with Russia. Capturing and controlling Ukraine is impossible, Russian forces lacked the means to push through in the first place and didn't have logistic support to get anywhere near Kyiv, on top of that, given the size of the Ukrainian population and its land mass, it would require every single Russian soldier of all services to be in Ukraine to occupy the country if it was completely pacified. Spoiler alert: it isn't, and it would take a military at least triple that of what Russia can muster to successfully occupy Ukraine if it were to have any serious partizan resistance movement, which it definitely will. And finally, the Ukrainian view of Russia as a country with which to want a positive diplomatic and trade relationship has been completely destroyed for generations to come. Chances of getting a pro-Russian leader back in power in Ukraine have become absolute zero, and even if the Russians managed to somehow make it to the point where they conquer Ukraine and install a puppet government, whoever is running that government would end up blown up, shot, stabbed, poisoned or accidentally decapitated whilst shaving. I take no pleasure in people of either side being sacrificed on the altar of imperialistic dreams of a madman wanting to return to the territorial boundaries of the 1917 Russian empire. This does not affect my willingness to provide military support to Ukraine in its efforts to maintain and retain its the integrity of its borders to their 2014 positions though.

Ah, yes. Couldn't imagine not humanizing an army of subhuman criminals, rapists, torturers, and murderers. Hundreds of thousands of children kidnapped, children dying in torture chambers, buried in mass graves, mass bombardment of civilian areas. But would somebody please think of poor little Ivan and his dreams while he commits genocide and "just follows orders."

Familys of dead Russian soldiers get money as compensation. But if they are M.I.A the Gouverment dosent need to pay.

They’re not victims. They’re guilty of supporting the Putin regime and probably staying silent when international laws are broken and atrocities are committed. It’s not as though the propaganda is sophisticated. They can get online and find out the truth. The gov not allowing dissenting voices is a huge and obvious red flag.

Sounds very plausible.

As it turns out, Perun has indicated that it appears that Russia is understating it's losses by the simple and ingenious method of *not counting* the local forces of the DNR and LPR.

@kemarisite oh for sure. Any way that the Kremlin can fudge their numbers, they're taking it.

They would think it was heaven or hell

Oh and soldiers literally doing tiktoks, I’ve seen a video of two Ukrainian soldiers getting sturdy.

Well.... If it is not for OPSEC (Operation Security). I do believe we gonna see a headcam live stream by now.

_"Y- You mean like Porky Pig?"_

The talking pig would be the most believable part.

I interpreted that as the crossing of the streams being the sign of respect and a visual signal that the ship is doomed, but I've no idea if that's true. I can only speak to how I heard what was said.

I can easily see it turn into sign of respect and that if a doomed ship. Afterall, if procedures occurs shortly before a ships sinking could easily become a tradition, with meaning given to it. We humans done it before, and probably did it here again

I really appreciate the wealth of information you provided for us! Thank you!

The water streams originate from a ship behind the "Moskva". The fallen over antenna in front of the radar make it look like crossed streams, but the "Moskva" does not have any water monitors at this location, neither does she seem to have the power to operate any of her own firefighting equipment.

Just going off of your answer not sure if you're a Naval Engineer or a MARITIME Engineer. But on Western Naval vessels none of them are set up this way what so ever. The bilge is known to have water from condensation mixed with oil from small seepage and leakage of various systems over time or from small spills as sailors do maintenance. You'd never want to spray that water anywhere near where you have a fire going on. In fact the pumps that remove bilge water would be aligned to dump that water overboard in the event of an engine room casualty while spraying foam and seawater onto the fire in the space to remove any leaking fuel or oil to not have cascading fires. The pumps for firefighting water are also located under the engines on every Naval vessel that I've been on due to their design characteristics, and if you didn't have enough pressure or lost a pump in one space you'd activate more in other spaces and would secure firefighting water going to equipment that's not needed for the situation to keep the ship alive. Lastly most ships don't have emergency generators just redundant main generators in a system where you don't need all of the power of the other generators and for ships with emergency diesels they're located above the waterline but there's definitely no space for them in super structures.

Not gauche at all. Lazerpig has been to Russia several times and even dated a Russian. He doesn't want more dead Russians, he just wants a free Ukraine.

that's because gonzalo liar doesn't actually care about russia or ukraine for that matter. He just wants a world where blatant imperialism and military conquest is totally OK.

typical russian things

Yeah, theft is a huge issue in the Russian military, one of the reasons for the initial invasion staling was that troops had been selling fuel for drinking money under the assumption that the war wasn't going to happen

And even if they are properly cared for and maintained, with disciplined soldiers in those tanks, you can be damn well sure they have only a limited run of those fanciful pieces of equipment just so they can claim to have it, because they don't have the money to actually spread them throughout their military. The T-14 armata, and the Su-57 are the first to come to mind in my opinion

This is pretty much my dads attitude, he was drafted into Vietnam and wrote a scathing end of your report about everything wrong with the war

talking pig are you hungry?

Indeed, it makes you wonder what the Kremlin propagandists were smoking when they thought that cover story sounded better than simply admitting that the Ukrainians did it. In that sense, they've painted a picture of their sailors dying pointless deaths from their own incompetence rather than going out honorably in combat. I can't imagine that the families of those killed on board Moskva are very happy about that.

The thing is, Moskva had, on the one hand, comparatively short range SAM, not really fit to engage anything, except maybe, some coastline defences. On the other hand, it's anti-ship missiles were insanely powerful, probably enough to level a city block to the ground with one missile, but, because of it they were extremely valuable, the stockpile was small and the production stopped after the break-up of the USSR, as far as I remember. A full salvo of those missiles was supposed to destroy a carrier strike group of US Navy

@@mykhaylovarvarin9078 and it's fair to assume none of those missiles in storage work properly now due to various reasons

The S-300 specifically was designed to have a ground-attack ballistic fire mode from the get-go. Now, exactly how USEFUL an expanding-rod warhead made to turn aircraft into the aftermath of a 'will it blend?' video would be against anything but the most lightly armored targets would remain to be seen. But it is designed to do it.

@@mykhaylovarvarin9078 The S-300F (Which the Moskva had alledgedly 64 of, though I wouldn't be surprised if it had less, or if only a fraction of those were actually working) has a maximum range of 90km, which is more than enough to target coastline city, especially in a small operational area like the black sea. I believe the anti-ship missile you're referring to are the P-500 and P-1000, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Moskva didn't have them equipped, as the Russian Navy clearly isn't expecting any form of ship-to-ship combat in this war.

@@02suraditpengsaeng41 Yeah, in her design. Her crew (including the captain) did the best they could have done (in no small part due to that lucky asf hit on the Hood). She was literally just a Bayern-class (first built in 1914) that was doubled in size (but kept the same number and size of guns, and only a (iirc) ~30% increase to maintain belt armour). And the British weren't impressed with the Bayerns after testing them in 1918/19. Oh, and yes, her. Her captain was literally the only one to refer to her as a he in any capacity. The Germans even took a page from the Japanese and made Anime girl propaganda with her (which pissed off the captain to no end). Edit: And I suppose in her deployment as well, but there wasn't really anything else the Germans could have done with her.
