The Russian Black Sea flag ship Moskva, which was sunk by Ukrainian missiles on April 13
REVEALED: US maritime surveillance plane was over Black Sea minutes before Russian flagship Moskva was ‘hit by Ukrainian missiles’
- A P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft was patrolling the coast before the attack
- The high-tech jet can spot ships on radar at ranges of more than 100 miles
- Ukraine sunk Moskva after firing two Neptune anti-ship missiles on April 13

The US Navy used its new marine surveillance aircraft to provide accurate targeting data to Ukrainian forces to sink the Russian Black Sea flag ship Moskva on April 13.
Ukraine claimed it fired two Neptun missiles at the Russian warship which was patrolling south of Odesa.
Russia initially claimed the vessel, which had more than 500 crew on board had blown up after a fire onboard.
Later, the Kremlin was forced to admit the vessel – named in honour of the Russian capital – had been taken out by hostile action.

According to The Times, a US marine surveillance P-8 Poseidon aircraft, was tracking Moskva in the hours before it was attacked before supplying its location to the Ukrainian military.
The Boeing-made aircraft is based upon the Boeing 737-800 jet – which is widely used by airlines such as Ryanair.
However, instead of passengers, the Poseidon is packed with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment which can track surface vessels and submarines at ranges of more than 100 miles.
According to The Times, the P-8 took off from Italy and took up station on the Romanian Black Sea coast where it attempted to locate the position of the Russian Black Sea fleet.
Since the invasion of Ukraine, a range of NATO surveillance platforms and drones have been monitoring Russian movements from the Polish coast, along the Ukrainian border and down to the Black Sea.
Moskva was the Russian Black Sea fleet’s main radar platform, equipped with S-300 surface to air missiles to protect from air attack.
The vessel sank as tugs attempted to tow the crippled warship back to Crimea for repairs.
The Neptun is an anti-ship missile that was recently developed by Ukraine and based on an earlier Soviet design. The launchers are mounted on trucks stationed near the coast, and, according to the Washington-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies, the missiles can hit targets up to 175 miles away. That would have put the Moskva within range, based on where the fire began.
According to The Times, the P-8 left US Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily on April 13, hours before the attack.
Before reaching the Black Sea coastline, the Poseidon turned off its trackers, so it could no longer be followed online.
The aircraft was ‘hidden’ for almost three hours before it returned to Flight Radar 24.
Aviation data analysis Amelia Smith told The Times that there were slightly more US aircraft covering the Black Sea coast on the day of the attack.
However, the US Navy refused to confirm if they assisted Ukraine with the attack by providing intelligence data.
A Defence source added: ‘In keeping with our support to Nato’s eastern flank, we have been conducting some limited air patrols off the coast of Romania. But we will not speak to the details of operational matters.’
I’m thinking that the Moskva might have been hit by a satelite-mounted directed energy weapon (same as was used in the California wildfires some years ago), and that the same might be true of the Russian Space research center and the huge chemical plant that burned a few days ago.
I don’t have any evidence, but the timing (and the strategic relevance) of the three targets is very suspicious. And I consider it proven that America has such weapons.
As the US forgets its own colonisation of Hawaii and gets haughty with China over Taiwan, in these days of US-led tension Russia and China need to be in close contact with each other over their own response to western interference. It’s probable China’s response to US-led mischief – such as sending weapons over to Taiwan or supplying it intelligence – will be met with less restraint than Russia’s. So Russia needs to know if China is going to attack, because being caught out by a Chinese attack on the US means a US-response to China will also include a US response to Russia; so if China does attack it’s better if Russia attacks too, because it’s going to get hit anyway. Better to strike first than get struck first and be seriously diminished.
Do we know for a fact that the Moskova was sunk by missiles, and not an internal explosion from its own ammo storage?
Afterall, the Mail, like Fake News CNN, the Slimes, etc is … fake news, and a premiere propaganda organ.
USRAHELL is the enemy of all
natural tribes , not only of china +
russia . it started with american
indians, then with hawaians,cubans,
guatemaltecans,mexicans,nicaraguans,
japanese,germans, viets, laotens etc
THE RUSSIANS WILL GIVE YOU

“hit by a satelite-mounted directed energy weapon”
“I consider it proven that America has such weapons”
“same as was used in the California wildfires”
“and the huge chemical plant that burned a few days ago”
What a load of baloney.
What exactly is an “energy weapon”? How would a satellite contain a weapon? How would it have enough power? How would it hit a target dozens of miles away? Wildfires are wildfires. They’re not started by Luke Skywalker. If the “bad guys” wanted to start them, why not walk out there and throw a match?
99% of the stuff on here is 100% BS made up by the posters.

“Do we know for a fact that the Moskova was sunk by missiles”
Nope. And you never will. It’s just people spouting. As you point out, nothing in the media is true, unless by sheer coincidence.
I should say a warship is far more likely to be sunk by the “enemy” than some careless crewmember though. Wouldn’t you?

Re: your reply to Thomas Faber
Don’t be an imbecile. Look at the evidence for yourself: the burn patterns of the “wildfires” in Northern California, a couple of years ago, were out of this world … no pun intended!
You can see the pics for yourself: hundreds available on jewgle. Anyway, you have homes made of concrete and brick, cars, etc turned into DUST … yes, dust. Yet, you haver trees beside them, bare twoto three feet away, still standing. Think about that.
Have you ever been near a fire? Well, in a house fire, the heat is so strong, that you can get 2nd degree skin burns standing 10m away, about 30feet. How does a tree, at 3-4feet from the house, not burn, and a house of bricks turn to ash and dust? Do you know at what temperature brick “melts”? … take your time, pal.
What caused those fires? Nobody can say for certain. However, any sensible person, or firefighter worth his salt, will tell you that fires don’t burn that way. No firefighter has ever been in a fire where brick has turned into dust.
(if you’re really interested, you should Dr. Judy Wood’s, engineering professor’s book, on weapons that cause dustification)
@ killy you need to do some research , if you have,nt seen the drone photos from the paradise fires in
california best you look, if you had seen these photo,s you would realize they were,nt NATURAL fires
have you read the UN agenda 21 documents start there, because from what you say you have NO fucking
idea whats going on or why. WAKE UP
@Killy
This is what they have, officially. And you think perhaps that they tell you everything?

@ KILLY
there are something like what we as
unknowers call energy weapons .
9.11. is still a mystery . there are lot
of fotos in internet of california fires
with laser beam from space or some
like that . foto of fire beam from sky
in greece (had often arson). fotos of
Paradise/cal+ Santa Rosa (only the
houses but trees unhurt), Gaza laser
fire from sky . maybe less populated
australia also got arson from sky .
if you denie it you are a troll in my
eyes !
Could also be that russians allowed moskva to be hit on purpose, its shelf life expired, let the enemy scrap her like the twin towers steel that got the heave-ho in indian ocean off of chinese barges.
Cheaper than doing it yourself in your own waters plus there may be a political gain angle also.
Otherwise, why haven’t the newer and more effective ships been sunk with american marvelous targeting systems?
@ mike D re: 911 i don,t doubt there are space based energy weapons, but judy woods is miss info
dimitry khalezov wrote a extensive report on the destruction of the world trade towers, khalezov is a
russian trained nuke enginneer, his report shows with evidence the presence of radionuclides in the
dust samples taken from around the site, its a very interesting and compelling report, victor thorn
was good friends with khalezov and used his extensive investigation skills to track the source of
the nukes, it was this exposure of stolen US nukes that got thorn killed, he was getting to close
to exposing the US government involvement in the plot.
Nukes are the only explosive force to be able to powderize concrete, except maybe lasers
when you veiw the “event” its an explosion as opposed to a collapse
