Krylovtsy develop the concept of a light multipurpose aircraft carrier

As the news portal Flotpromreferring to the source, the Krylov State Research Center (KGNTs), on its own initiative, develops the concept of a light multipurpose aircraft carrier (LMA).

The approximate displacement of the ship will be 30-40 thousand tons, air wing - 40-50 machines. The aircraft will be presented by deck fighters Su-33 or deck version Su-35, MiG-29K, as well as aircraft of the radar patrol and Ka-27 helicopters.

Vikramaditya

The construction of ships of this class is possible at the facilities of Sevmash or the Kerch shipbuilding plant Zaliv.

Deadlines for the completion of the work are still unknown, now there is a conceptual study of the project.

- explained the source.

Aircraft carriers are divided into several main classes: heavy strike aircraft carriers (with a displacement of more than 70 thousand tons), light aircraft carriers (13-35 thousand tons), and cruiser-helicopter carriers. Light aircraft carriers in the classic sense - the so-called "ships of control of the sea." They are not as universal as heavy ones, and, as a rule, serve for anti-submarine and anti-aircraft defense of ships and convoys. They are based light attack aircraft, fighters and helicopters. Most light carriers carrying planes with vertical takeoff and landing do not need either a catapult or arresting gear. The proposed KGNTs option is probably a further development of the Soviet project 1143.4, on the basis of which the Indian aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya".

First, frigates learn to build destroyers in 2-3 years and not in 15.

I agree. And then they build objects larger than a boat in such a "fast" way, as if one person in his spare time from work does this. Let them learn from the yellow-bellies.

- “Krylovtsy” - designers, what claims to NIM? On the contrary, they must be encouraged!

The speed of construction of modern ships is explained by the fact that they are built from modules. A huge dock is needed only for the final assembly of the ship. Modules are built at various enterprises at the same time. The quality of the project with this principle of construction should be completely different. Project flaws will be revealed only at the stage of final assembly, when it will be impossible to redo something.

[sivuch]

Interestingly, if the Krylovites are projectors, then who is the Nevsky Bureau?

[bouncyhunter]

Hi Tagiryan! In fact, we are not talking about building:

Krylov State Scientific Center (KSCC) in proactively develops The concept of light multipurpose aircraft carrier (LMA).

I highlighted the key point.

[Zibelew]

Hi Paul! Designing an aircraft carrier in the state of our economy from the category of fantasies. Not enough ships even to replace the decreasing units. In the future, the last three 956 destroyers, the Shrewd and the old men 1135 will be written off. And at best there will be 5 units (3 11356 and 2 22350) of new frigates. For the rest of the buildings so far everything is foggy due to problems with the engines. And the 22350M is not yet designed. The average age of fleet ships is over 30 years, with 19 among Americans.

[bouncyhunter]

Do you want to say that the initiative of development is mentioned for the sake of a "red word"? And for this KGNTS receives funding from the budget?

[Zibelew]

Money from the budget will not give. I do not mind if a promising aircraft carrier will be built through the confiscation of yachts, villas, airplanes, king-apartments, mansions from corrupt officials.

[bouncyhunter]

Tagiryan, still only development is underway, it is too early to talk about the construction. Here they’ll develop it - then we’ll see how this project will look and whether it should be embodied in metal.

[Zibelew]

Let's wait and see. Maybe in the 20s something will change.

[bouncyhunter]

Well, let's not run ahead of the engine.

[marder7]

it’s also dangerous can crush (steam train)

[Olaf Uksimae]

Why don't our representatives from the Forbes list organize the initiative, for example, the “oligarchs to the motherland”: we will build 2 aircraft carriers, 16 “leaders”, 12 RPKSN and 24 maples with our own money, I think it’s enough and not even the last cent will be torn from itself.

[mvg]

And what, 956 still goes to sea? You are not talking about Quick. and 1135 too? Or did you mean Okay, Inquisitive, etc., which are formally in service?
1135 I made a model at school, they are 40 years old, so many watchtowers do not serve. Well, the long-suffering 956 from KTU only to the parade with the help of tugboats.
PS: No one in their right mind and with our budget will be spent on the Navy until the ground forces, the Air Force and the Strategic Missile Forces are modernized. Not a senny cap. Exclusion of nuclear submarines and diesel-electric submarines.

[73bor]

You can already forget about 956 and 1135, you are a little behind, our displacement of corvettes is already approaching 3000 tons and frigates are close to 5000 tons and the main problem is not with power plants (this year they are already launching their own), but with new weapons systems and their settings, and design anything is possible. OSK will get new cranes and there will be happiness!

Yes, she can’t go, at least for 2 reasons:
- it is necessary to prepare new modern facilities;
- it is necessary to digitize the entire project and make working drawings or cassettes for CNC ...
At the moment, none of this is available yet. What kind of production, especially sectional assembly, can we talk about !?

[bouncyhunter]

My respect, Alexander! It’s too early to share the skin of a dead bear, which is what I meant.

[sivuch]

And what kind of design? When the Central Research Institute of Krylov did not deal directly with blueprints, this is the diocese of the Nevts, and even the northerners once tried to drag Mercury into 8 or 12 ct

[seti]

Or maybe you will help not with chatter, but with your own hands and brains if you know and understand everything?
The Krylov State Scientific Center is doing the right thing, and I recall it only - the developer.
What are their production questions in the material? We are not the USSR, and it is clear that the pace of construction has fallen significantly and it takes time to set everything up again and there are high-class specialists in sufficient numbers. And the idea is very correct and necessary. The aircraft carrier of the Storm project is a necessary thing, but it’s very expensive and very large. And they need at least two. But for them, infrastructure will also be needed, and these are billions of evergreens. Their capacity is up to 90 aircraft which we also have almost no like pilots. And this is also billions ... So the idea of ​​building light aircraft carriers - cheaper, more maneuverable, less expensive and with 40-50 planes / helicopters and UAVs is very good. At least I will place them where and this is a decent cost savings.
So you can and even need to think about it.

Quite ... for example on the Star. New shipyards of the aircraft carrier class, so to speak, are already under construction. Plus, a shipyard in the Crimea with a dry dock at 364 m ... I already said about the deadlines, while the Leader’s project will be approved, coordinated, etc., as well as the laying of these destroyers, it will be possible to talk about the actual construction dates for light aircraft carriers.
I think this is the only right way to provide our KUGs with air cover in a relatively short time.

[kepmor]

first you need to build ships for full-fledged KUGs and KPUGs ...
you obviously went too far about power ...
The star is full of orders for the very ears of 10 years ... new slipways are only in the project ... and there aren’t enough skilled workers (the head of the USC recognizes this ... the young people have gone, only the qualifications are still at zero ... therefore the space terms ) ...
and the 13th Shipyard in Sevastopol, it’s precisely ship-repair ... the ships to build are not its specifics ... they were built in Kerch and Fedosia ... but they just started to rise after the devastation ... there are machines of another 60-70 ... all need to be updated ...
and the ships were needed yesterday ...

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: kepmor

Well, let's see :)))
Even if we are concerned about the construction of a light aircraft carrier (I’m not a supporter, but I’ve suddenly taken care of it), then it will go into operation well if in 2030 (production preparation + design + construction itself + acceptance tests and delivery to the fleet). This is still optimistic. I would even say - very optimistic
What will we have in 2030 in the fleets of the Northern Fleet and Pacific Fleet (there is nothing to do in other places of the AB)
For a pair of missile cruisers for each fleet (total of 2 nuclear and 2 atlantes), there can be several BODs, 5-7 modern frigates, several corvettes, pieces of 10-12 multipurpose submarines (Ash-trees + remnants of Shchuk-B), pieces of 5- 10 diesel-electric submarines or even submarines with VNEU.
Well, the presence of an aircraft carrier will increase their capabilities one and a half times at once. But the aircraft carrier was built alone, and the fleet - two.
Conclusion - the aircraft carriers had to start yesterday

[ProkletyiPirat]

I would give another "conclusion", it is not necessary to "dream" about the aircraft carrier, but to discuss ways to reduce its cost. For example, think about the unification of units between all ships. First, unify the nodes responsible for the movement of the vessel.

[A1845]

It seems that the North Shipyard is preparing a construction site of 250 meters

The displacement of an aircraft carrier is not only an indicator of how much aircraft, fuel, ammunition, electronics can be crammed into it to ensure flights, but also an indirect indicator of the length of the flight deck.

The truth is by no means “somewhere out there”, it is much closer. The quality of the ship is determined elementarily - the ability to solve problems for which it was created. Unfortunately, Kuznetsov cannot satisfactorily solve his key task - the task of air cover of heterogeneous forces striking at the USA AUG. In addition, for solving other problems (for example, the functionality of an attack aircraft carrier), it is also of little use, as a helicopter carrier it is excessively large. In addition, Kuznetsov is technically unreliable - a problematic power supply. All this limits the scope of his tasks - in essence, he can be used either as a training aircraft carrier, or as a combat unit against very weak countries that do not have their own aviation.
In general, the short answer does not mean unproven. And agree, it would be strange to expect that the question "Is this a bad ship?" You would have printed an article with tactical and economic calculations

That's why I wrote more than once that we need to pray today for the frigates of project 22350 and, more importantly, for project 22350M, whose ships are as close as possible to the class of light destroyers. From the age of 18, domestic gas turbines will go into a series and then it will be possible to talk about some intelligible construction of the foundation of our fleets - frigates of project 22350M.

Exactly, turn on your head ... You’re telling me about the exhaust, and I’m talking about the construction time ... it’s one thing to lay 2-3 light aircraft carriers, and build and hand them over to the fleets in 7-8 years, and the shipyard is another thing to find a hundred thousandth drina, after building it for 10 years, or even more, and as a result get one military unit. Did you hear the proverb about eggs? Is there a difference for you when three aircraft carriers (lungs) in the AUG, or one that, if damaged, flooded, etc., does not help the group?

[kepmor]

in order:
- about Leaders in the near future we will only hear in VO ...
- about the 22350M I agree, but it is not a panacea ... a fleet with only a heterogeneous composition of ships possesses combat stability ... minesweepers, corvettes with frigates are more important than Gorshkov's analogues ... at least to fulfill the main tasks of the NCC - ensuring deployment shock forces of the SF and Pacific Fleet ...
- about the "billions of corrupt officials" ... this is not for me ... there is a Seagull with Bastrykin and Putin with Medvedev ...
- 3 "airdromes" with the AUG are cool ... the first question is for you- Have you personally ever managed at least 2-3 ships at sea, even just during exercises? ... I think not ... at least imagine the size of the warrant of such a superAUG with protection? ... the floor of the ocean ... how will you manage when maintaining the database? ... no ACS can handle ...

Long enough! During this time, the United States manages to build 1 submarine of the Virginia type in 1 year! Aircraft carriers, we will master, I think, in about 10 years, as MINIMUM! The good news is that a naval program for the development of a small fleet has been established ... The Soviet fleet, too, was far from being built with cruisers ... Destroyers, shopping malls and hunting ships
