    "Russian State Media service TASS, quoting the Russian Ministry of Defense, confirmed the ship caught fire after being "seriously damaged" and that the entire crew had been evacuated."


    Dukkha wrings hands in utter grief. Claiming to anyone that will listen 'The ship was on a Mission of Peace'.

    It’s not just a ship, it’s their flag ship. Putie is not going to be happy about this! It’s a “bigly” humiliation.

    There is no leader of the free world, European leaders are finally working together and this is the way it should be.

This was clearly reported in all international press for a number of days at the time of the event.[14] Russia reports the vessel as still being afloat.[15]

    Design
    When deployed, a Neptune coastal defence system comprises a USPU-360 truck-based mobile launcher, four missiles, a TZM-360 transport/reload vehicle, a RCP-360 command and control vehicle, and a special cargo vehicle. The system is designed to operate up to 25 kilometres (16 mi) inland of the coastline.[3]

    A Neptune missile including rocket motor is 5.05 metres (199 in) in length, with a cross-shaped hard wing. Neptune missiles are designed to be housed in transport and launch containers (TLC) with dimensions 5.30 by 0.60 by 0.60 metres (209 in × 24 in × 24 in). The system has a maximum range of about 300 kilometres (190 mi).[16][17] A single missile weighs 870 kilograms (1,920 lb), of which 150 kilograms (330 lb) is the warhead.[3]

    The technology of war is rapidly changing. Not everything that the Ukrainians try will work, but if enough of it does, Russia will pay the price.

    Well, the Russian navy hasn't won a war at sea like ever, so they're just keeping with tradition...
