The Moskva cruiser, which the defenders sank on the night of April 14, entered the zone of destruction of the Neptune missile system, since the invaders believed that we did not have special radars, and ordinary ones could not detect the ship, because they recognize targets only at a distance not. And it’s true, the APU really doesn’t have special devices. However, on April 13, around 16:00, Moscow, which was 120 km from the coast, was discovered by an ordinary radar.. Missilemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told about this UP on condition of anonymity.

It was because of the scale of the object that the defenders came to the conclusion that it was a Russian cruiser.. After all, in this sector of the Black Sea of \u200b\u200bthis size could only be the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.

Sources of the publication note that during this operation, the weather was also on the side of Ukraine: there were dense clouds above the sea, so the signal from the radar was reflected first from them to the surface of the water, and then from the surface of the water again to the clouds.

" But since the clouds were very low and the signal from this corridor between the water and the clouds had nowhere to go, the radar unexpectedly finished off to "

UP sources suggest that the Russians, due to their belief that the Ukrainian soldiers would not recognize them, probably did not even activate their air defenses..

The Armed Forces of Ukraine realized that " Four more ships immediately began to move towards him from different directions, and a tugboat left the Crimea in the direction of the now drowned man..

Recall, on the evening of April 14, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirmed that the cruiser " Its remains are still at the bottom of the Black Sea.

By the way, it was Moskva, which Ukrainian defenders attacked the day before, on April 13, that became the most expensive military loss of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine..
