Moskva down
They didn't need western targetting data, they could easily get if from the TB2 that was acting as bait
If they were going to help and I dont believe they would even consider it. They would have put up some F-18G's and disrupted the moskva's radars and electronics. Because that is totaly NOT an act of war according to russians because they 'claim' they did it donald cook in 2018

President Zelensky promoted Navy Commander Oleksii Neizhpapa to vice-admiral.
An adviser to Zelensky's chief of staff said the decision made for “conducting a brilliant operation everyone already knows about.”

Still power to the fire pumps though.

Photos of cruiser Moskva:
Okay - did a bit of research. It looks like, in the pictures above, the rescue tug Shakhter is on site and providing firefighting support for Moskva -on her starboard side. The Project 712 - Shakhter (SB-922) is part of the Black Sea Fleet - out of Sevastopol. She was in port a couple days ago. Masts, stack, and hoses / water canons match perfectly.




There's gonna be a fairly high toll of the CIC team and others in that area north of the machinery spaces, but there should have been a recovery of much of the crew at least from the tub, how they will fare at Lefortovo is another matter. Russia is pretty tough on those that have dared to be survivors.... K-219, K-19 K429, etc...
