Here we have the Moskva while in service to compare to the Moskva after it was hit with 2 Neptune missiles by Ukraine. You can see the fires were up by the missile launchers and there was a significant tilt to the ship from the beginning. These images were reported as captured by a Turkish ship that was in the area after it was struck, someone aboard that Turkish ship took images soon after. Russia still hasn't released the number of crew who survived, or how many were on it at the time of this strike. We have heard rumors the crew was around 500 and around 53 survived. This may not turn out to be true, no way to confirm, but that is what the grapevine has been saying. If true, pretty demoralizing for Russia and sure would explain why no numbers have been announced
