So one of Putins top boats loaded with modern defence missiles was shot by a Ukrainian missile from shore? Were the Russians drunk or asleep at the wheel?

From the BBC, we will soon see, if a ship is abandoned it usually means it's in danger of sinking and that thing had a lot of ordinance aboard, it was a floating arsenal, it is very likely secondary explosions did serious damage. Reports are it was struck by two missiles with 150Kg warheads.

Damaged Russian ship

  • Russia's defence ministry said that an explosion aboard Moskva, the flagship of the country's Black Sea Fleet, "seriously damaged" the vessel
  • Russia did not say the cause of the fire, but earlier Ukraine said it was struck by their own Neptune missiles
I’m not counting those chickens until hatched.

While the Russians are preoccupied picking up the evacuated crew of the RTS Moskva now is a good time to attack the other naval ships coming to the rescue. There eyes will be off the ball.
If it was indeed a Ukrainian missile that did the damage then the ships that were meant to be protecting the flagship can't be very good at all at their job and will be ripe to be picked off.
Fire as many missiles as they can at them now if they're in range, some missiles are bound to get through. Strike while the iron is hot.

The ship was the target and they will send low value targets or civilian vessels to pick them up from life rafts. The ship will most likely continue to burn and explode, eventually sinking or drifting ashore depending on the wind and luck. Killing the crew and rescuers is bad PR and in bad taste.

There will be military vessels in the area. Those are legitimate targets. I'm not endorsing attacking trawlers or such.
Attack attack attack.
