REVEALED: US maritime surveillance plane was over Black Sea minutes before Russian flagship Moskva was ‘hit by Ukrainian missiles’

The US Navy deployed one of its Boeing Poseidon P-8 maritime surveillance aircraft on the Black Sea coast over Romania in the hours before the Ukrainian attack on the Moskva

  • A P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft was patrolling the coast before the attack
  • The high-tech jet can spot ships on radar at ranges of more than 100 miles
  • Ukraine sunk Moskva after firing two Neptune anti-ship missiles on April 13
The US Navy used its new marine surveillance aircraft to provide accurate targeting data to Ukrainian forces to sink the Russian Black Sea flag ship Moskva on April 13.

Ukraine claimed it fired two Neptun missiles at the Russian warship which was patrolling south of Odesa.

Russia initially claimed the vessel, which had more than 500 crew on board had blown up after a fire onboard.

Later, the Kremlin was forced to admit the vessel - named in honour of the Russian capital - had been taken out by hostile action.

According to The Times, a US marine surveillance P-8 Poseidon aircraft, was tracking Moskva in the hours before it was attacked before supplying its location to the Ukrainian military.

The Boeing-made aircraft is based upon the Boeing 737-800 jet - which is widely used by airlines such as Ryanair.

However, instead of passengers, the Poseidon is packed with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment which can track surface vessels and submarines at ranges of more than 100 miles.

According to The Times, the P-8 took off from Italy and took up station on the Romanian Black Sea coast where it attempted to locate the position of the Russian Black Sea fleet.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, a range of NATO surveillance platforms and drones have been monitoring Russian movements from the Polish coast, along the Ukrainian border and down to...

  2. Sorry bad autocorrect:

    Aesop over at the Raconteur Report does a nice job of destroying the Daily Trash amateur reporting with basic math.

  3. "The high-tech jet can spot ships on radar at ranges of more than 100 miles"

    Wow, really? Gee Mister Wizard! Is everyone impressed?

    The Aegis systems of the mid-eighties could detect a hostile basketball at 150 miles, detecting a ship at 100 miles is definitely not "high-tech".

  4. Matthew, it's worse than "definitely not high tech". It's PATHETIC. From the height that most jets fly, call it 30,000 feet, the visual horizon is over 230 miles away. Radar has been over-the-horizon for a very long time now. So this info is not just wrong, but probably a distraction. You are not allowed to ask if the P-8 is also packed with jamming equipment. You have heard, right, that Ukraine had been trying for weeks to hit this ship, only to have every attempt blocked by it's sophisticated detection and defense systems? Funny also that there were a couple Turkish "observational" drones in the area at the same time. All of this is merely an innocent coincidence, I'm sure.

  5. So no one is concerned we are all but at an undeclared war with a nuclear adversary?
