A great brief on a good ship let down by a lot of issues... I listened to a brief on her which stated that parts of her air defence suite was inoperable, need to dig again and see if I can find it to provide the link... but either way kudos to the Ukrainians for even trying to take her out... I always remember a quote from Tom Clancy when he was on board either Slava or one of her sisters that she had been painted within an inch of her life back in the 90's... thank you for this brief great quality as always.

[@Juliet1106Tango]

The Moskva's air defense radar interfered with their communications, so they have the choice to have comms or air defense radar. I think its safe to assume which one wasn't active on the day it sunk.

[@michalpavlat3943]

leaked moskva readiness report from 10 feb 2022 claims Fort has issues with keeping illumination to the target and keeping the missiles painted to the target in one of the electronic (non-firing) exercises The fire control radars for the Osa-MA has issues with being not active or has issues when active. MR-123s for the AK-630s have issues with their opto-electronic systems and no indicators of system being on active scan. MR-800 search radar would make SATCOM unusable when set to active scan.

Joke about the Slava class all you want, but the Slava's sonar system was much more effective than the Udaloy's HorseTail/HoreJaw system in a sub hunting context, because Udaloy could never overcome accoustic signal falloff at distance but the Slava class sonar has been deployed much closer to where the submarines are.

[@dr_birb]

@@noname-wo9yy suuure.... If you're reffering to RedEffect response (which you can talk about, it doesnt get censored dw), I wouldn't be too sure about it, given that LazerPig did make a community post saying he had been talking with RedEffect and supposedly RE regrets making the vid (donno for what reason) and more importantly LP plans to respond to it in the future, so it's not a finished plot point. As we come back to reality, T-14 could be as advanced and powerful as russian -propaganda- sources claims it to be, doesn't matter when the number of them in existance is around 6 afaik (/whatever is the highest number of recorded unique T-14s at one time). Not only it's too few in numbers, but it's also a propaganda symbols, and propaganda symbols can't serve in war, as their destruction is too big of a PR disaster (like Yamato). Americans don't care about Abrams getting destroyed in Ukraine, they have thousands of them.

I didn't know that about modern cruise missiles. That's some Star Trek stuff. Thanks Aaron 😮

[@heuhen]

And that is what they call generation 4 missiles. Now think about what a generation 5 missiles, like the Naval strike missiles (NSM) can do... on of it's capability is that it can find it's target on it's own, even if the warships is hiding between other "commercial" ships, the NSM will only target and attack the warships nothing else. And if you fire more than 1 of them, then those missiles will plan the attack pattern by them self, like for example, attack the target from multiple direction. It's scary how advance today's missiles are starting to become.

[@SteveT3D]

[@mostlymessingabout]

@@SteveT3D i have something very special planned. You should go to Freedom tower. On the highest on floors. Bring old people, and people on wheelchairs who cannot move fast...

[@mostlymessingabout]

@@heuhen the only swarm attack i knew was the Russian anti-ship ones where one of the swarm takes high altitude to search for target whilst the others stay at sea skimming altitude. Although searching for aim point sounds like it needs to plan the route from launch, otherwise the missile will have to steer at terminal range, reducing speed and increasing response time for the target which isn't ideal...

[@heuhen]

@@mostlymessingabout NSM only ned to know what area that ship is in, it search for the target by it self, and if you send more than one, they will perform swarm attack. But not like those Russian missiles, where everyone travel the same route. NSM they change automatically route for every single missile in the swarm, attacking from multiple direction, making it even harder to defend, because you don't know where the next one is coming or your system is busy defending in one direction. NSM also self destruct if it can't find a target it recognize. With NSM you don't need to mark the target in the same way as a 4th gen.

[@Syndr1]

Hi Sub, great video. 🎥 📻 Thanks. Can you set up maybe a underwater tour 😉

[@Corsair37]

The Slava class are gorgeous in their look, for sure. While it's tempting to make light of the Ukranian's sinking the Black Fleet flagship of the Russian Navy, we shouldn't overlook the loss of life (and you're not). And let's not forget the USS Stark, which on paper should have been able to defend herself against a pair of Exocets but never got a shot off.

[@jameson1239]

The USS stark didn’t sink though probably because it had functioning damage control equipment seriously the maintenance report from the Russian government paints an abysmal picture of the Moskva’s condition the summary is the radar systems interfered with the radio so they were switched off so the ship could communicate of the AK-630 CWIS systems only one worked same with the SA-N-19 and of the 5000 fire extinguishers it was supposed to have aboard it only had 500 and they were locked up by the admiral to they wouldn’t get stolen

[@Militaria_Collector]

Been waiting for this one! Thank you

[@cuz129]

Great video, best explanation I've seen so far!

[@ArtietheArchon]

This sinking was likely a failure at multiple levels from the top down, and IMO even the ultimate design of the ship left it more vulnerable to this kind of attack than it should be. Ironic that the ship should be so capable of hitting others with "Vampire" sea-skimming missiles and so vulnerable to them herself

[@briannicholas2757]

I think you're 100% correct. The Russian navy is operating ships that are terribly maintained, with crews that simply are undertrained and unmotivated. Without meaningful refits, ships run in to myriad problems. People forget that ships flex at sea, they warp in effect. The British learned this the hard way during WWII most notably with the pride if the Mediterranean fleet Ark Royal. Most of her watertight doors wouldnt even seal ( great video over on Armoured Carriers channel) and she,was literally run to death. The same for Moskava. Once water comes in there's no way to stop it or get it back out, thus ship sinks.

[@ryssa2409]

Every case is different, who would maintain a floating conference room which was supposed to be decomissioned already? The actual combat vessels are well maintained.

[@MarkGriesemer]

Could theses legacy radar systems have been prone to undetected spoffing/jamming that "hid" an attacking missile?

[@kevinnaber790]

Would be great to see the divisions along the centerline, not just the vertical barriers. Capital ships in the first and second world wars often would often have a subdivision between the machine spaces and often in the magazines. If the torpedo and hangar spaces are similar to the VLS battery, spanning across the full beam, you have several compartments in adjoining vertical watertight zones that cannot be easily counter flooded without compromising the rest of the ship either by reduced freeboard or reduction of maneuvering and speed efficiency.

[@Rothinger]

[@--Dani]

Excellent content as always 👍

[@cipher315198]

I completely agree with you. The drone theory is so dumb. All a drone does is wake everyone up and send them to battle stations. i.e. close all the water tight doors, get damage control to their stations, and get the competent people on the command deck. A under qualified night watch bored out of there minds allowing what amounts to a harpoon into insanely close range before detection makes so much more sense. Then with the ship at what amounts to normal cruising conditions. i.e. most or all the water tight doors open, and damage control in their racks, a hit from a single missile, even a small one, could be utterly devastating.

[@robert48044]

Nobody is currently telling any truth in that area of the world.

[@heuhen]

If there was a drone in the area, then it was there only to give targeting data for the team that launched the missile from shore.

[@jameson1239]

I heard that the Radar interfered with the Radio so they switched off the Radar to communicate that would explain why it didn’t get shot down

[@liquidgoose1518]

My theory is that they flew a UAV into SAM range to see if Moskva will try to track and engage it but once they understood that it’s running without a radar on they decided to fire ASMs

I remember an interview from a person that had been on the Moskva during the attack, who later defected to Ukraine that said there was no warning before the explosion, only one missile went off and the other did not detonate. Also the Neptune flew at 5 meters, which is under all their missiles minimum engagement range.

[@mickparkinson207]

Dudes a liar, I don’t believe this was a missile attack, I’ve heard likely it was very impressive Ukrainian agent-agents in the Russian navy whom sabotaged the ship. Not a single piece of evidence has been presented that there was any missile involved just speculation, and conjecture by people unable to apply intellect (critical reasoning, logic, healthy scepticism) Alas the combined west citizens are vast majority emotional thinkers and as such are highly susceptible to bias wilfully and subconsciously.

[@mdb831]

Good brief skipper

[@tedbyron1499]

It blows my mind that they had to have cruise and sprint turbines in such a vital warship????!! I was a Fireman on an Arleigh Burke and they have 4 GE LM2500 (which is marinized GE CF6: same engine used by the 747) main engines- 2 per engine room/per shaft (Sprucans and Ticos too- same exact layout). We could do 40+ knots Flank Speed easily- no changing gears there. In fact the throttle used on those ships looked just like what you'd see on a speed boat. There's 3 of them: 1 in each engine room for local control and one one the bridge, right next to the helm- which itself looked like the yoke from a large modern airplane. So you one man could literally stand there and operate a 505x64 ft, 8000+ ton warship just like a racing boat and run it close to 50 mph!!!

the AK doesn't have radar on them like the phalanx have, so they are not that self contained system. but they do have there own system, but it's mounted in a different area of the weapon, the system can be automatic or TV-controlled. It do work in similar way as other CIWS, but if the radar system for the CIWS-systems is damaged, then the gun will only be working as a remote controlled system.

[@Doppler-hh5nt]

@@heuhen Cool, thanks for the response

[@MsZeeZed]

The word is 5 of the 6 of Moskva’s CIWS were not capable of auto-fire for maintenance issues, so this system was only functional for a 90 degree arc instead of the 260 it was built to cover when the ship sailed (its is 2-6-0 because the helio deck blocks the rearward quarter, unlike the Kirov class that is longer and has 2 extra CIWS on the stern for 3-6-0)

[@jamesmichie7980]

[@GintaPPE1000]

No. The Russians aren't because they don't train. The US is, because we train against them all the time, and we actually use our old anti-ship missiles as targets. We even had an accident where a training drone failed to break away and hit the ship that was training against it.

[@heuhen]

Well just last week, NATO frigates + Norway have been test firing missiles against various targets, outside of Norway, and from what I have heard, it went quite well. They tested there systems against all type of targets. There is an tradition that when a US ship or foreign ship, that are equipped with US radar/weapons comes to US for testing. For example the Norwegian frigates went to USA, when they was new and shoot down all target US could trow at them (And those Norwegian frigates aren't AAW frigates, they are ASW frigate). We know they did it well, due to they hung a broom in the mast (clean sweep).

On 15 October 2016, USS Mason was targeted in a third attack by five anti-ship cruise missiles while operating in the Red Sea north of the Bab el-Mandeb strait. The Navy Times reported the Mason fired a radar decoy, an infrared decoy, and several SM-2 Standard missiles in response, either neutralizing or intercepting four of the five incoming missiles. The Navy reported the fifth incoming missile as neutralized by a radar decoy launched from Nitze, after Mason alerted her to the threat.

One point is that some people in Ukraine konw that ship and its possible problems really well and that may be one key role to missile operation against the ship.

[@alexis_ian]

I believe one of the possible explanations is why the radar and weapons failed to detect the Neptune missiles. Is the radar turned off that night while the ship was communicating with HQ in Sevastopol? It's believed the radar was turnoff was it would interfere with the ships SATCOM.

So, she was incredibly well armed, but, none of it could defeat the crew's incompetence. The fact is she sailed with a skeleton crew, of poorly trained personnel. They had all that gear at their fingertips, but, just weren't trained how best to use it.

I understand an iowa class ship brief won’t happen this year but is it possible that u can make it one on it next year, the Iowa’s are my favorite battleship class and there has been a lot of videos on their history but never as in depth as ur videos discussing individual systems and weapons and upgrades, btw thank you for the great breakdown of the slava and not using a biased out look on it, too many people just assume it’s a bad ship cause they failed to defend a missile

[@jager6863]

Heard that the sea state with high waves created surface clutter, hiding the incoming missiles from the radar. Also heard that not all radars were operational? I was also told all of the rescued crew was jailed afterwards. Not sure if they were released after a debrief or whether they are still imprisoned. Heard the caption was dead? Aaron, any info on this at all?

[@hiteshadhikari]

Moskva had too many issues when it was sunk, more or less it was not operational and it was part foolishness of Russians and part side intel US etc gave Ukranians. It was a sitting duck

[@TzunSu]

Last leaked readiness documents show them to not have any fire control radars operational. They knew it, and sent it out anyways. Russian brilliance!

[@jameson1239]

Pictures taken by crew from other ships that came to the Moskva showed that the sea state was basically flat

[@michaelimbesi2314]

There were no high waves to cause any clutter. We know that because we have weather data and photographs of her sinking that both show there were almost no waves.

[@MsZeeZed]

It was a flat calm. The Moskva radar did suffered the same issues as the Royal Navy in 1980s - they interfered with radio communications so they had to be switched off when the ship wanted to communicate. An issue that led to warship losses during Falklands War (almost 40yrs ago) but that worldwide know issue was never upgraded in the Slava class. This may not have been the main problem. Chiefly the CIWS were not functional & the OSM was locked on Capt’s orders due to lack of replacement missiles. The S-300 missiles are not a suitable defence against sea-skimmers when the alarms go off late, which is why the other systems exists. A lack of effective ship defence combined with missiles fired from the Oblast next to where she was built, setting light to the engine room. Ship then sinks after flooding due to botched firefighting. I will add the Russian Navy Ministry has delayed updating its firefighting standards between 2000 - 2018 (no evidence this was even considered 1983-1999). The 2020 Sevastopol refit was the Moskva’s only opportunity to have its fire sensors & fire dowsing equipment updated since 1982. Telegram chatter circa 2021 (before the full invasion) says the Navy was ripped off by the Russian contractor in 2020 and the most they achieved was painting over all the original firefighting equipment.

The Brooklyn class carried this much weight and armor plate

[@dreamingflurry2729]

No no! It did not sink! It was upgraded to also be able to (permanently) submerge! That's something the US can't do with their Ticoderogas! :D

[@garynew9637]

Good looking ship.Sad for crew.

[@captainbinghamton1319]

It would be interesting to know who on board is responsible for the ship being struck without warning, or was it equipment failure.

[@Insert-Retarded-Reply-Here]

Very much equipment failure
