TC, Why hasn't Ukraine sunk the cruise missile ship in the Black Sea that sailed in to replace the sunken Moskova? Seems like this is Russia's strongest asset in theater that is not behind Russian borders. The Navy in the Black Sea supports the Crimea and the southern ports.

Most likely because it stays out of range of their missiles.

So get them missiles with that range, just like the hMarrs are doing on land. As long as they can threaten cruise missile attacks on infrastructure, civilians, and supply lines, doesnтАЩt that shipтАЩs presence represent a longer war?

I think if the Ukrainians had something that would reach it, they would take it out. But the fact it has to stay so far out means it's not as useful since its missiles are also limited in range.

It would be a huge victory. Sink Two flagships. The cost? My gosh, that would have to weaken Putin in Moscow. Rile up their armed forces against Vlad.
