"Did not impress": experts told how Putin's dreams were killed about the Black Sea

According to experts, the Russian Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation lost its main means of air defense. After Moscow has sank, the fleet can no longer operate safely off the shores of Ukraine. Flooding of the cruiser "Moscow" last year became a decisive moment of reputation of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. Newsweek writes about it.

According to Robert Murrett, the Retail of the Flagman, the victoryadmiral, the loss of the flagship, and the ambition of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea. Moscow's drowning is a major reputational loss of the Kremlin head and the military command of the invaders.

Earlier in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation it was believed that they could freely release their ships in the Black Sea, but the Armed Forces showed that it is very dangerous to approach the shores of Ukraine - very dangerous. Professor of the Department of Conflict and Security of the Royal College of London Tracy Herman told reporters that Moscow had a key role for the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation because it was a team ship.

It also protected other military courts from air threats because it was equipped with air defense systems. According to Sidhart Kaushal, a researcher on the Maritime Might of the Royal United Services Institute, in 2022, the Russian Black Sea Fleet lost its main means of air defense. After Moscow has sank, the fleet can no longer operate safely off the shores of Ukraine.

Now, as Kausal noted, the Black Sea Fleet can only be protected by air defense systems located on the occupied peninsula of Crimea. "The challenge that the Russians faced in the Black Sea is that they did not expect the Ukrainian anti -ship rocket threat in the first days of the conflict," Kausal said. Now, as the expert said, for the Russian Black Sea Fleet are the danger of Ukrainian underwater drones.

Journalists write that some experts believed that the Navy could be used to keep Kherson, which the Ukrainian army released in the fall of 2022. However, Moscow's sinking did not allow it to be done. Moreover, the Russian military command had to forget about all landing maritime operations. And not only because of the drowning of the flagship, but also because many Marines were killed in the battles with the Defense forces of Ukraine on land.

We will remind that on April 13 in Kiev showed the remains of the missile "Neptune", which was buried by the cruiser "Moscow". According to the head of the museum Sergei Voronov, it is not the first major loss in the history of the Black Sea Fleet, but the clearly largest of World War II. In addition, it was reported that the NSDC excellent showed a video of the historical launch of Neptune missiles.
