The glory of the past is gone.
Russian great ship "Moscow"
In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia disclosed many advanced weapons and equipment, including the "dagger" hypersonic missile that launched a fierce attack on the Ukrainian arsenal. You know, this is the first actual combat of hypersonic missiles. Not only that, but it is also reported that Russia attacked Kiev with the fifth-generation Su -57. In order to gain a greater advantage in this conflict, Russia has invested a lot of energy and even test-fired weapons with great lethality, such as zircon and sarmat.
Under the fierce attack of Russia, Ukraine suffered huge losses. Although the weapons and equipment aided by NATO countries have indeed provided Ukraine with some confidence, they can only support Ukraine's actions at most and cannot help Ukraine win in this conflict. Ukraine's combat effectiveness is far less than that of Russia. So many people say that this war may be over.
It is worth mentioning that although Russia has occupied a great advantage in this conflict, it has also encountered some problems. In addition to the beheading tasks of many generals, some weapons were hit. Among them, the sinking of the Russian ship "Moscow" caused a great sensation in the international community. Many people didn't expect this and wanted to know what was going on.
The Russian navy guided missile cruiser "Moscow" exploded and caused a fire, and all the crew on board were evacuated. Unexpectedly, this huge ship sank in the process of being towed back to Hong Kong. As a great pride of the Soviet navy, the missile cruiser "Moscow" was renamed the glorious first ship "Glory".
The full-load displacement of Glorious Cruiser is nearly10.2 million tons. When Glorious joined the Black Sea Fleet in 1983, it was equipped with 16 heavy supersonic anti-ship missile. Its powerful lethality makes cruisers a key combat force in maritime operations, also known as "carrier killer".
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the glorious class, the Soviet Union also equipped it with a shipborne air defense system, which was popular all over the world at that time. After all, there was only one Ticonderoga-class cruiser in the United States at that time, and all kinds of performances were not as good as glory. However, this was 39 years ago. In the past few years, although Russia has also carried out some maintenance on it.
But mainly to prolong the life of the hull. As for air defense weapons, there is almost no upgrade. This state of "not advancing or retreating" makes this Russian warship face great threats.
According to the Ukrainian side, the anti-ship missile Neptune sank the Moscow. Some people say that the Russian warship sank for its own reasons, knowing that Ukraine has Neptune with a range enough to cover an effective range of 80 kilometers, and it is very careless to "swagger" in this dangerous area.
The sinking of the cruiser "Moscow" was a huge blow to the Russian navy, and the Russian army paid a huge price for it. Moreover, in order to ensure that three "Glory" class and 1 "Kirov" class can continue to contribute to combat effectiveness, Russia has made great efforts.
However, these four warships have poor performance and cannot even carry land-based cruise missiles to participate in the operation. Now that the "Moscow" has sunk, there have been many problems, and the Russian navy should also think about the future naval development.
