Photo to show stricken Russian warship appears online

Photo claiming to show the Russian warship Moskva stricken at sea has been posted online, Qazet.az reports.

Military watchers say the photograph may be genuine. Rob Lee, a PhD student at the Department of War Studies at King's College London, tweeted that it "looks like a legit photo".

And OSINTtechnical, a well-known Twitter account sharing open-source intelligence information, wrote: "I can’t verify the authenticity, but this is a Slava class cruiser and I don’t think any of them have been destroyed in this manner."
