I would assume it's a combination of poor readiness, poor training, poor leadership and a high pressure/stress environment due to the drone harassment.

- tintor 5y agoWouldn't drone harassment increase readiness and alertness?
- Sakos 5y agoI think you're confusing readiness with military readiness (which is what I mean in this context). https://www.idb.org/what-is-military-readiness/ https://www.idb.org/what-is-military-readiness/

- dragontamer 5y ago> Never seen it discussed, but maybe the drone landed a bomb on the superstructure which knocked out their radar or other detection systems. But that's also ridiculous: a cruiser, with full anti-air capabilities, would be disabled from an aerial bomb? Missile-defense is harder than anti-air (especially vs slow, non-stealthy aerial drones). It makes far more sense that Moskva failed against the sea-skimming missiles, rather than the obvious drone in the vicinity. Then again: the Moskva *should* have been able to disable the missiles.
- bostonsre 5y agoIt would be hilarious if a slow moving drone snuck up on a ship that was supposed to provide anti air cover for a fleet.
