New photos and a short video clip emerged early Monday on social media showing Russia's guided-missile cruiser, the Moskva, badly damaged and on fire in the hours before the ship sunk in the Black Sea on Thursday.
The sinking of the Black Sea fleet flagship was the biggest wartime loss of a naval ship in 40 years -- and a huge embarrassment for Russia.The images show the Moskva listing to one side, with black holes from possible missile puncture marks, and significant scarring at and just above the waterline on the port side in the middle of the vessel.A large plume of black smoke can be seen billowing upwards, partly obscuring the front of the stricken ship.
The Moskva was armed with a range of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles as well as torpedoes, naval guns and missile defense systems, meaning it would have had large amounts of explosives aboard.The Russian military has not released any information about casualties aboard the Moskva.Russia's Ministry of Defense released a video Saturday showing what was described as officers and sailors of the sunken warship standing in formation two rows deep.
