The Moscow, a Black Sea Missile Cruiser, was a huge force in controlling Vladimir Putin’s naval front and striking port cities such as Odesa and Mariupol.
It hit the heads then a Ukrainian soldier famously filmed saying ‘go f *** yourself, Russian warship’ when his crew threatens to destroy Snake Island before fixing the unit.
But Russian morale was apparently shattered when it was destroyed Wednesday night, seven weeks into the war.
The Kremlin says sinking on stormy seas following a fire caused by exploding ammunition – but Ukraine says it brought the ship with two Neptune rockets.
There are reports an image of a ship in trouble shows the last moments of Moscow.
Black smoke is seen from the ship, while all lifeboats at the rear port side are seen to be deployed.
This would mean that a statement by the Russian government that it sank under tow back to the port of Sevastopol is false.
