Moskva could have at least two nuclear warheads when it sank after the Ukrainian strike, experts fear, amid calls for a probe.
Fears are now emerging that Russia’s warship Moskva, which sunk in the Black Sea after the Ukrainian airstrike, was carrying nuclear weapons. The vessel was equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles P-1000 Vulkan, which are capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Experts are calling for a global probe to find out whether the Moskva was carrying nuclear weapons. For Russia, the sinking of Moskva is the largest naval asset to be sunk since World War II. It is being speculated that there could be two nuclear warheads for cruise missiles onboard the Moskva. The presence of Vulkan missiles at the Moskva warship suggests that the vessel can have additional nuclear weapons also. Vulkan missile system is a comprehensive anti-ship weapon and it has advanced targeting technology. The missile is capable of flying at Mach 2.
