One story I read said that there are
threetwo ships of the Kirov class.Of the remaining two, one is undergoing a retrofit and, with all the sanctions, parts might be impossible to obtain. The other one, to replace "The Jewel of the Black Sea" will not be allowed passage, as I said.

Nukes threatened if Sweden or Finland join NATO.
My question is, what about the interim period between NATO application and membership? I know they're working on security guarantees but how is the rest of the world going to view an attack from Russia during this interim period?
@Aqua-Letifer said in The Ukraine war thread:
Nukes threatened if Sweden or Finland join NATO.
Further to my earlier response, the Russians are being, as always, more than just a little disingenuous with this threat. The fact is that Russia has for some years now, already deployed nuclear weapons in the Kaliningrad region (formerly Konigsburg, East Prussia) of the Baltic Sea.

Regarding the sinking of "The Moskva..."
Brit Hume tweeted:
"Russia, of course, said it was an onboard fire that ignited ammunition, not Ukrainian missiles. Then Russia said it would retaliate. Against whom? The god of fire?"

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
