Russians will never admit their flagship was sunk by Ukrainian missiles. They already look incompetent as an army. This would make that much worse.

In fairness, do we know it was sunk from Ukrainian missiles or just general incompetence? When they fought Japan, many ships were sunk before they even engaged Japan, including at least two or three that were sunk by being accidentally sunk by other of their ship's fire.

There only successful engagement was against some unarmed Scandinavian or British fishing boats.
