This photo shows you what a farce a Russian 'warship' is. This is the Moskvas S-300 missile silo.
A 'warship'? It's a fake, it's no better built than a cheap a merchant ship, with land based S-300 missiles wedged in.
No armoured VLC cells able to contain a missile cook off, no water deluge systems, no high capacity sprinkler mains, no compartmentalisation. A huge missile silo filled with unprotected launch tubes that stretches from the upper deck to the keel and the engine room to the aft hanger


A 'warship\

Ten seconds apart is just enough time to say, "What was that?" (In Russian)
 
What island?
 


Neptune can be launched at a designated position as long as someone provides OTH targeting.
A TB2 will do, but there is also the ever present NATO Intel assets just south of Crimea in the Black Sea who will have been watching Moskva 24/7
Having flown passively to the pre designated kill box, it would only have required the missiles to to a quick pop up and scan to get a fix for their end run.
At that point, the only defence is your CWIS systems, and they were utterly useless on the night.
 
More from the Kremlin....apparently they won't use nukes in Ukraine:

Russia will not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says.

Asked about the issue in an interview with TV channel India Today, Lavrov says: "Conventional weapons only."

Early on in the war, Vladimir Putin ordered Russia's nuclear forces be placed on high alert, and a number of Russian government figures have signalled the country would be willing to use them in certain circumstances.

Lavrov also says, with Russia's offensive now focused on Ukraine's east, the war is entering a new phase, echoing similar comments from the Ukrainian military.

"The operation in the east of Ukraine is aimed, as was announced from the very beginning, to fully liberate the [self-proclaimed] Donetsk and Luhansk republics. And this operation will continue," he says.

"Another stage of this operation is beginning, and I am sure this will be a very important moment of this entire special operation."



Then again, I seem to recall the Kremlin saying that they weren't going to invade Ukraine, either!
 
It all comes down to training. I was reading the average Russian pilot gets almost half the annual flight time as their Western counterparts.
We can rightfully scoff at the Russians incompetence in the air, on the ground and now sea. But they have the mass to roll right over eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainians may have the motivation, training and western weapons, but they're facing over 120,000 Russian troops, Eastern Ukraine offensive - Wikipedia. I wish the Ukrainians well, but am not optimistic.
 
Why are all Russian missiles seemingly packed into sewer pipes?

 
the russian army has always been a blunt instrument, always focusing on quantity over quality.
