The sinking of the Russian warship Moskva highlighted the
importance of naval conflict in the Russia-Ukraine war. Why is the
Black Sea so vital? And is Ukraine up to the task of stopping
Putin's fleet of frigates? Former Royal Navy Captain Chris Clough
joins Arthur Snell to discuss the intricacies of naval warfare,
what the Moskva sinking means for the conflict, and how real the
risk of escalation is as the war moves forward. We're putting out
irregular war bulletins covering different aspects of the Ukraine
crisis. You can support our work on the crowdfunding app Patreon:

can be found here: https://ukrainewar.carrd.co/ “The Russians
have always invested in their Black Sea fleet.” “The Moskva
is a ship designed around its weapon systems. It epitomises the
Cold War.” “Despite the sinking of the Moskva, Russia still
has two very capable frigates in the Black Sea.” “I would be
much more worried about mines that we can’t see than those that we
can.” “Money doesn’t translate into military capability.”
“There are too many unknowns to risk any kind of escalation.”
