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.

"Many factors should tell whether it is worth making a decision. Definitely, I think so, this area, where the cruiser is located at the bottom, is guarded by our forces. This is done so that no one can get there, carry out any dismantling work in underwater mode - after all, the cruiser sank in an ammunition state, with missiles, with appropriate technical means, and so on," says Sergey Gorbachev.

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.

"Taking into account the fact that the Moscow was loaded with ammunition, including Vulcan-type attack missiles, this suggests that some work will be organized, but it is difficult to understand how they will be completed and what their purpose will be. Of course, with a strong desire, the ship could be raised, but there is already a question of expediency," concluded Sergei Gorbachev.

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.

Встают вопросы... Для ракет П-1000, помимо фугасной,  предусмотрена ядерная боевая часть 350кт... Были такие на Москве? Стоит ли это взрывать? Успели уничтожить секретную аппаратуру управления и связи, а также документацию, если таковая была?
