> not sure how it could be confirmed
The Ukrainians were reportedly flying a Bayraktar TB2 drone nearby at the time (used as a spotter/distraction for their 2 Neptun anti-ship cruise missiles), and might have video footage. Whether they would want to release it is another story.
There could plausibly be intercepted audio of radio conversations among the Russian military.
Aside: The current Ukrainian gov’t response is pretty snarky: “Oleksiy Arestovych, aide to Zelensky administration chief of staff Yermak, likens fire at Russia’s flagship cruiser Moskva to blast at Belgorod fuel depot, says both happen to appear as some bad luck.” https://twitter.com/myroslavapetsa/status/1514400382356803589 https://twitter.com/myroslavapetsa/status/151440038235680358...
- jrapdx3 5y agoThank you, good points. Though IIRC the drone was reported to have been shot down but it could have transmitted footage before that happened. If Ukraine has audio recordings that would be very interesting, but as you say they might be reluctant to share it.
- optimalsolver 5y agoThat was a different ship and different drone: https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1514401183900831756 https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1514401183900831756
