it appears not to have sunk, Pentagon assessed it as heading back to port under its own power.
The Moskva is an 38 year old cruiser that appears not have been modernized since the fall of the soviet union 32 years ago, in contrast to her sister ships. I would not be surprised if she still carried the same outfit or ammunition she had onboard when the soviet union fell. if that is the case, things like solid rocket boosters for its surface to air missiles, and even some warheads are likely long past their safe storage period and may well blow up if attempted to be fired.
Doesn’t speak well for the Russian navy.
