“The Russians have always invested in their Black Sea fleet.”
“The Moskva is a ship designed around its weapon systems. It epitomises the Cold War.”
“Despite the sinking of the Moskva, Russia still has two very capable frigates in the Black Sea.”
“I would be much more worried about mines that we can’t see than those that we can.”
“Money doesn’t translate into military capability.”
“There are too many unknowns to risk any kind of escalation.”
