In the conditions of stormy seas, the ship sank,\u201d the Russian ministry of defense told the TASS newswire.<\/p>\n

While all of this is true up to a point, left unsaid is the source of the ammo that detonated. Mick sends.<\/p>\n

The head of Ukraine\u2019s Navy has received a promotion following the sinking of Russia’s Moskva warship last week in what officials are hailing as a “brilliant operation.” <\/p>\n

Rear Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa has been elevated to the rank of Vice Admiral, according to a statement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s office. <\/p>\n

A U.S. official had told Fox News on Friday that the latest assessment by the U.S. is that the Moskva was struck by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles before it sank.<\/p>\n

“Everyone knows what a lightning operation!” Victoria Strakhova, an adviser to Zelenskyy, wrote in a Facebook post praising Neizhpapa for the promotion. <\/p>\n

“Adviser to the head of the OP Victoria Strakhova wrote on Facebook that the decision was made in view of the \u2018brilliant operation\u2019 that everyone already knows about,” added Anton Gerashchenko, an official at Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Internal Affairs. <\/p>\n

“Congratulations and we wish further no less brilliant operations!” Gerashchenko also wrote in a Telegram post about Neizhpapa. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Neptunes, first fielded in 2021, are based on the Soviet AS-20 \u2018Kayak\u2019 anti-ship missile which is similar to the U.S.-built Harpoon missile. Thanks, Mick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
