"Satellite Image Pinpoints Russian Cruiser Moskva As She Burned"

"Analysis of radar satellite imagery has revealed the location of the Moskva soon after she was reportedly hit by 2 missiles. The Russian Navy cruiser was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet [BSF] and is a symbolic as well as naval loss for Russia."

"A ship, understood to be the Moskva, is seen surrounded by smaller vessels. The image is created using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) which can see through clouds. According to Russian accounts she was on fire and exploded. And sunk later while under tow."

"The loss of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet (BSF), Moskva, is a serious blow to the Russian Navy. And a massive propaganda coup for the Ukrainians who could not have wished for a more symbolic target."

At that exact moment of the image as seen by SAR shows the Moskva a fairly considerable distance from Odessa. Important port facility vital to the Ukrainian not in immediate danger from amphibious invasion?
