Since it was sunk by Ukrainian missiles on April 13-14, analysts have been watching for signs of a salvage operation on Moskva. The once-mighty SLAVA Class cruiser is the largest warship to be lost in combat for decades. And it's loss is both strategic and symbolic.
It's final hours were caught in satellite imagery, and some images subsequently emerged. But so far analysis of open source satellite imagery has drawn a blank for the expected salvage operation. The area where it sunk is often covered in cloud and on the clear days, no Russian ships were seen guarding the wreck.
It now appears that the vintage rescue ship Kommuna has been deployed.
We know Russia is seeking new technologies but this ship is almost has bad has using Noahs Ark.
