The next front? Using whose navy against the Russians now that most of the Ukrainian flotilla is gone???

The Black Sea Is The Next Front In The Ukraine War

By James Stavridis (Bloomberg) On the surface, the tiny Ukrainian navy, just 5,000 active-duty sailors and a handful of small coastal boats, appears to be significantly overmatched by Russian maritime forces.
The Kremlin’s Black Sea fleet consists of over 40 frontline warships. The Russians seem poised to cut off the Ukrainian economy from access to the sea — essentially re-creating the Anaconda strategy U.S. President Abraham Lincoln used in the 19th century to choke off the Confederacy.
But Russian success is hardly guaranteed, as the Ukrainians are proving as surprisingly stalwart at sea as they have been on land, already pulling off a handful of successful engagements against Russia’s naval forces.
What does the maritime component of the Ukrainian war look like in the months ahead?

From the reports I have seen on TV it seems the US supplied confirmation and imagery to the Ukrainians that the ship was Moskva but were not involved in targeting or engaging the vessel.

I'm not having much luck finding plans, let alone a kit to use a starting point to convert to the Project 712 Shakhter.

My local model club has a "in the news" contest theme in a couple of months, so I'm thinking the Moskav would be a pretty quick build, but better with the Shakter as well. Anyone have a lead on GA plans for the tug?

"The drone footage shows a burning frigate of the Grigorovich class with a white identification number visible on the side of the ship, however all frigates of that type in the Black Sea (Makarov and Essen) had their numbers painted out in march, as did the rest of the fleet."

"n other words it is fake and most likely taken from a game like Arma 3 or quickly made in a 3D-program as the ship can be downloaded as a 3D model online, the haze is added filters to cover the more obvious signs of this."

"At this point I feel as though I can reliably state that the Russian Frigate Admiral Makarov was not hit by Ukrainian Anti-Ship Missiles off the Coast of Odessa, it has been around 72 hours since the Claims first began with No Evidence still thus far just more Claims and Rumors."


The numbers have been erased on the hulls. Several ships of this type are present in the Black Sea.

This Congressman is suggesting surface warships may be obsolete in the wake of the loss of the Moskva:

Popular Mechanics

Quote:
A Missile Attack Sunk a Prized Russian Cruiser. So Are Surface Warships Obsolete Now?
Kyle Mizokami
Mon, May 9, 2022, 10:57 a.m.

Ukraine’s dramatic sinking of the cruiser Moskva has one U.S. lawmaker suggesting it’s time to submerge the fleet.

An article in Defense News suggests that the U.S. Navy needs to increase its submarine fleet to survive a future naval conflict.

While surface ships are vulnerable to missile attack, Moskva will likely prove an outlier in the history of naval warfare.

Should the U.S. Navy build more submarines to avoid missile attacks like the one that sank Russia’s Black Sea Fleet flagship, Moskva, last month? Representative Joe Courtney (D-Connecticut) argues in a recent op-ed that Moskva’s demise proves anti-ship cruise missiles are a serious threat, and the Navy should be ringing alarm bells. While more submarines are always a good idea, the Navy still needs a varied fleet above the waves to fortify itself against enemies in the world’s oceans.

The article, published May 3 at Defense News, advocates for not only a strong Navy, but a “survivable” one. Courtney says the U.S. government, in the wake of the big cruiser’s sinking, needs to take an “honest look” at “whether the platforms we are fielding to engage our adversaries are both relevant and survivable in modern naval warfare.

Moskva was more than 40 years old, hardly modernised, apparently in a bad shape with part of her outdated missile defense systems not working. Why it should be possible to draw any conclusions for modern ships?

Indeed..

The report describes the many technical problems identified on the Moskva just weeks before the war began. See the @GrangerE04117 thread for a summary of some of the problems identified.

This is a leaked report on Moskva's readiness as of February 10, 2022.

This was posted on VK but was immediately removed from the networks.

The iconic Snake Island has become a focal point of the naval front of this war:

Ukraine battles Russia in Black Sea over strategic Snake Island
4h ago

(Reuters) - A remote island off Ukraine occupied by Russia on the first day of its invasion has, as Kyiv steps up efforts to retake it, become the focal point of what some defence officials believe may become a battle for control of the western Black Sea coast.
Both countries have reported renewed fighting around Snake Island, which achieved worldwide fame in the conflict's first hours when Ukrainian border guards stationed there rejected a Russian warship's demand for their surrender.
"Russian warship, go fudge yourself," one soldier was recorded as saying.

The bow of that Makarov image is also too low/sloped and the stern is clearly wrong, as from any angle you would see the stern slowing inward on the real vessel, while on the provided image, the stern seems to go straight down.
She was also recently seen intact, so the Makarov story clearly was made up.

I have actually made a model of a sister vessel of Shakhter a long while back, that sister was in the Northern fleet and involved in a rare deployment of Kuznetsov with Piotr Velikiy. I used a combination of Google Earth images and measurements along with a rudimentary plan (I believe from Janes or another source). That was in the period I still built warships, so that should be around 10-15 years ago... :heh:

After a quick search, I even found the topic back:
http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=33763&hilit=712

I should still have the old pictures of this somewhere.
