Moskva, the huge flagship of Russia's Black Sea fleet, has been sunk after a fire and explosions on board. Ukraine says ship was hit by two of its cruise missiles, causing it to start sinking with hundreds of casualties. Naval experts say the ship was left vulnerable by sailing in predictable patters within range of Ukrainian missiles, and that its missile defence systems were 'dated'.
