The captain of the 1st rank of the reserve, who served in the Black Sea Fleet, the executive director of the Institute of CIS Countries in the city of Sevastopol, Sergey Gorbachev, told in a FAN comment what fate the missile cruiser "Moscow" that sank the day before in the Black Sea could await.
So far, the expert says, the question of the future cruiser does not provide an unambiguous answer, because so far there is no information about in which area, at what depth the ship sank, what kind of combat damage there was, up to how it is positioned on the ground.
He recalled the incident of 1974, when the large anti-submarine ship "Brave" sank near Sevastopol (24 sailors and cadets were killed then). The ship sank at a depth of more than 160 meters, divers were lowered there, they worked, dismantled something, but when the autumn-winter period began, the management calculated everything, thought it through and decided to blow up the ship so that all technical means and weapons could not be removed from the ship.

The second case occurred a few years ago: the scout ship "Liman" near the Bosphorus was rammed by a civilian vessel and sank. Fortunately, no one was killed. But taking into account the peculiarities of the territory where it sank (off the coast of Turkey), it was decided to specifically carry out work on it and undermine it.
Earlier, the FAN reported that there are no invulnerable targets for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation within the launch range of the Dagger.
