Russia 'could destroy NATO ships in Black Sea within 20 minutes'

"Despite the apparent strength, the NATO naval group in the Black Sea is not battle-worthy, Admiral Eduard Baltin said. If necessary, a single missile salvo from the Moskva missile cruiser and two or three missile boats would be enough to annihilate the entire group. Within 20 minutes the waters would be clear," he said, stressing that despite major reductions, the Black Sea Fleet still has a formidable missile arsenal."
