==NATO war in Ukraine==

According to an article in the ''Strategic Culture Foundation'' a source in [[Brussels]] told independent journalist [[Pepe Escobar]],<ref>https://archive.ph/pNNKf</ref>
[[File:Moskva.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|The ''Moskva'' was disabled and sunk on April 13, 2022, reportedly with NATO assistance.<ref>https://www.wionews.com/world/watch-russian-state-tv-says-moscow-has-entered-world-war-3-against-nato-471291</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|"The ''Moskva'' was on [[combat]] duty 100-120 km away from [[Odessa]] – controlling the airspace within a radius of 250-300 km. So in fact it was ensuring the overlap of the southern half of [[Moldova]], the space from Izmail to Odessa and part of [[Romania]] (including the port of Constanta). Its positioning could not be more strategic. ''Moskva'' was interfering with [[NATO]]'s covert transfer of [[military]] [[aircraft]] ([[helicopter]]s and fighter jets) from Romania to [[Ukraine]]. It was being watched 24/7. NATO air reconnaissance was totally on it.
As the ''Moskva'' “killer”, NATO may have not chosen the Neptune, as spread by [[Ukrainian propaganda]]; the source points to the fifth-generation NSM PKR (Naval Strike Missile, with a range of 185 km, developed by [[Norway]] and the [[American]]s.) He describes the NSM as “able to reach the target along a programmed route thanks to the [[GPS]]-adjusted INS, independently find the target by flying up to it at an altitude of 3-5 meters. When reaching the target, the NSM maneuvers and deploys electronic interference. A highly sensitive thermal imager is used as a homing system, which independently determines the most vulnerable places of the target ship.”
As a direct consequence of hitting the ''Moskva'', NATO managed to reopen an air corridor for the transfer of aircraft to the airfields of Chernivtsi, [[Transcarpathia]]n and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.}}
