Sad that so many Soviet-built ships were destroyed while being used by nazis
Don’t look at data for Soviet carrier cruisers and especially science ships
Remember how they gloated at the sinking of “Moskva”? Less know fact is that Ukraine have cruiser of the same class for over 30 years (40 counting since start of the construction in Soviet Union) and didn’t even manged to complete it despite being nearly ready in 1991.
“Can’t properly count as a war loss if we never finish it”
Imagine if Russian navy takes it, fixes it and calls it Moskva 2
Nah they wouldn’t. It’s 95% finished, but it was such in 1993 when they were giving it to Ukraine, i imagine that despite Russia military condition is much better now the ship has likely deteriorated to the point it would need basically rebuilding. Also it’s quite obsolete by now, as Moskva example unfortunately proves, note that 2 of 3 those ships were used mostly as flagships because they are pretty big. Newer russian frigates are probably more battle worthy despite being less than half displacement.
About renaming, fun fact (though also sad): The current flagship of Pacific Fleet, Varyag, also a Slava class cruiser, was originally named Chervona Ukraina.
Reddit be like: "And they’re still fighting back omg so brave! 😍 "
Reddit idolizes fighting till the last man woman and child because they are self loathing cowards that wouldn’t even try to fight for anything the believe in unless that “fighting” was harassing people online.

And russia lost one ship months ago and the NAFO mfers are still meming about it while the Ukrainian state is collapsing around their very ears
It was a big and important ship, to be undeservedly fair
Moskva was operationally similar to Ukraine’s Hetman Sahaidachny (scuttled), also ignoring that Russia has a huge ass navy while Ukraine at its peak only ever had 16 ships excluding tugboats
Where are the rest of these ships? Surely they’re not still in the Black Sea?
Propably in Odessa. Ukraines last big harbour.
Azov sea maybe?
No, its effectively an inland Russian lake by now
Then they’d be gone. Russia controls all shores of the sea of Azov.
Since February Ukraine ran out of brave Nazis and now drafting cowardly Nazis and hostages.
