Another one Jim

There was rumours earlier yesterday that the Admiral Makarov got hit with a Neptune missile, which turned out to be true and the ship is now most likely already sunk.

Ironically this article was written hours before the rumours.

It's about 1/3 the size of the Moskva, but it's a modern russian warship built in 2017, unlike the Moskva which is a Soviet era relic. It's capable launching multiple Kalibr cruise missiles and was one of the main ships which was destroying Ukraininan targets from the sea, unlike the Moskva which did not have cruise missiles and used mainly as a defense ship.

This loss is just as significant as the Moskva if not moreso. Most notable is the distance, meaning Ukraine has the ability to attack Sevastopol if they chose to do so.
