A lot of people are trying to make the Moskva's sinking more James Bond and neo-con (somehow) than it was.

From what I can find, she was three miles off the coast in the vicinity of Snake Island shelling shore targets when she was hit. High tech is not needed to locate a warship waking up everyone in the middle of the night along a ten mile section of coastline.

After she was sunk, H.I. Sutton reported that OSINT tracking the Moskva showed she had routine movements. With all the civilians tracking the Russian navy, there was more than enough information for Ukraine to track her with any NATO help.

Between having a established routine, insufficient escorts, no airborne early warning, and the Russian Navy's historically mediocre damage control, the Moskva made herself a extremely inviting target.

Then the Russian's did it again with a even less capable ship...

You are correct. The Ukrainians are skilled at using their drones to gather data as well as launch attacks. In the video here you can see a view of Snake Island from a drone not involved in the attack there last week on Russian anti aircraft weapons. You can easily see the buildings and structures.

When you have that level of surveillance over the battleground you can certainly find ships.

It looks to me that this Russkie ship is hit and now is in heroic Russkie Submarine status. Same as pathetic Bad Vlad. I give his cancer three months to do him in.

The harder they come, the harder they fall. One and all.
