THE BOOK "HUNTING FOR THE CRUISER "MOSCOW"
Day after day, month after month of the great war, the Ukrainian people demonstrate to the world examples of courage, resilience, courage and unity in the face of a cruel enemy that is numerically superior. The maritime theater of military operations is no exception. During the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine actively uses its naval combat capabilities, covering the waters of the Black and Azov seas. The Battle for the Black Sea was marked by the successful conduct of an asymmetric war by Ukraine against the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. The result of these actions was the sinking of the Russian missile cruiser "Moskva".
The sinking of "Moskva" became a landmark and symbolic event in the Russian-Ukrainian war, because it is the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The significance of this event is very great - in particular, because over the past 40 years this is the first case in the world of the sinking of a flagship ship. This event was given even greater symbolism, firstly, by the consonance of the name of the cruiser with the capital of the aggressor state, and secondly, by the fact that Ukraine, practically not having a large military fleet, unlike the Russian Federation, showed that Ukrainians are capable of fighting on equal terms against the powerful military machine of the Russian aggressors.
What was the missile cruiser "Moscow" of project 1164, its design, construction, combat capabilities, service, final fate - the death of the ship, as well as various versions, investigations from both the Ukrainian side and the side of our enemies - the authors tell about this in this publication. In addition to the RKR "Moscow" (formerly "Slava"), three more ships of this project were built, its "sister ships": "Marshal Ustinov", "Varyag" (formerly "Chervona Ukraina") and "Ukraine" (formerly "Admiral Lobov"). All this information is also present in the book.
The book is intended for military personnel, historians, researchers, local historians and anyone interested in the modern history of Ukraine.
