Russian fleet aircraft carrier

98
After an ambiguously successful campaign, a group of ships of the North fleet to the coast of Syria and encouraging statements by military officials of the Ministry of Defense about long-term plans for the construction of a Russian aircraft carrier in the foreseeable future, the intensity of the discussion on this issue has somehow diminished. Supporters, rubbing their hands, swallow mouth-watering drooling, opponents gloatingly await new circumstances in the most difficult issue for the whole country. But cross swords and break spears there is something. There is no application concept, the technical design assignment has not been issued, the tender has not been announced, the place of construction, the fleet and the base have not been determined. And it will be difficult for the government to ignore public opinion, in the formation of which our respected resource will play a role. And there is something to discuss: the Gerald Ford was put into operation, the Queen Elizabeth was built, the tender for the construction of the Indian aircraft carrier was opened, and China is not going to put an end to the third aircraft carrier. Great-power ambitions, opponents will say; global trend, supporters will answer. From the latter: “American aircraft carriers - weapon punishers against weak countries "and" fleet - a collective weapon "!

If you take the American CVN-78 Gerald Ford as an icon of style, then it is difficult not to call this project a further modernization of the Nimitz type. Yes, electromagnetic catapults, yes, a new type of reactors without the need to replace the core, and even new electronics and a slight crew reduction. Everything! The same building, the same composition of the wing, three elevators instead of four and optimistic statements about the 15-20% growth opportunities for the production of aircraft per day. The change in the cost of dropping a bomb / missile launch into 7,5 million per unit is not modestly discussed. We in the navy would change just the last figure in the project. Initially, there are simply no opponents of such ships in the western hemisphere of the planet, the excess dimensions are justified by the duration of the passage across the oceans to the coasts of Eurasia and back. Twenty years ago, on such ships, it was planned to use up to three specialized wings (shock, anti-submarine and universal or multi-purpose), depending on the tasks to be solved.



The English “Queen” seems to be a warrior princess from a Hollywood series, which has a “terrible Russian bear”, a fabulous Middle East and black bloody Africa. Carpet bombardment and napalm fires are not for her. After all, no one doubts the ability of Britain to create an aircraft carrier similar to the US, as they did when creating the platform for the Tridents, only common sense warned the blind copying of leaders in this area. But the troop generation type "Invincible", which for budgetary reasons attributed to the concept of "ships of control of the sea", disappointed the command of the royal fleet after experience with the Anglo-Argentine conflict. An understanding of this was confirmed by the decision of the Soviet leadership to increase the displacement of ships of 1143 projects to the size of "Admiral Kuznetsov", "Varyag" and the designed "Ulyanovsk". The English shipbuilding school in the new project still refused to use starter catapults, deck aircraft DRLO and vertical takeoff of the strike air group, finding these elements too expensive for their aircraft carrier. We take this into account for yourself. The declared ability to lift 24 attack aircraft in 15 minutes, and this is the entire strike group of the ship, which is able to perform any combat mission in the air, at sea and on land, is impressive.

I cannot help but express a personal impression: in the new English aircraft carrier there is still a lot of heavy aircraft carrier “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov”! Comparable size, displacement, composition of the wing, springboard, the absence of catapults, three launch positions on the deck ...

We can solve the two main problems of our ocean fleet (cover the SSBN patrolling area and the fight against the American AUG) from the air if we continue to creatively develop the concept of a heavy aircraft carrier cruiser, without getting involved in the multipurpose aircraft carrier race with the Americans.

And now justice and harmony of figures from open sources. When comparing ships, Russian TAVKR and English HMS, out of respect for the difference in age, I will be the first to set the parameters of our ship and through the fraction of the British.

Maximum total displacement 61390 / 70600 tons, maximum width 72 / 73 meters (at the waterline at the mid-point 34 / 39 meters), length 306 / 284 meters, flight deck area 14800 / 13000 square. meters - these geometrical dimensions create the impression that our ship is more “airy”, has a lower density, though it has armored rolled steel, body duplication with dry compartments, anti-torpedo three-layer protection up to 4,5 m wide, which withstands the impact of 400 kg of TNT charge while the complete absence of side armor and armor bulkheads in English is claimed. And indeed, the booking elements correspond more to the name of a heavy, albeit aircraft carrier, cruiser than to a classic aircraft carrier. But the laws of physics are indisputable in our reality: the ratio of length to width with the same draft and almost the same power of the power plant gives an advantage in speed of a full stroke (29 / 25 knots) and economic stroke (18 / 15 knots) to our ship.

In the future project of the Russian heavy aircraft carrier cruiser, such an advantage should be not only with respect to English, Indian or Chinese, but also all the huge nuclear-powered American aircraft carriers. Our AUG should be capable of both catching up and avoiding the pursuit of a potential enemy. A similar situation was in Germany during the construction of "pocket battleships" in the late thirties of the last century. Only German engineers at that time for the first time decided to equip such large warships with diesel power plants. The decision to use a nuclear power plant on the latest Russian aircraft carrier cruiser will not look revolutionary. The country's experience in the construction of submarines, nuclear-powered icebreakers, cruisers and civilian vessels will also create a nuclear heart for a single aircraft carrier. Reactors hidden deep beneath aviation hangar and flight deck, will provide not only the high energy level of the ship and speed, but also have a positive effect on the external architecture of the add-ons. There is no need for huge chimneys and ventilation shafts for internal combustion engines and several thousand cubic meters of tanks for motor fuel.

This speed advantage will also have a positive effect on the work of the aircraft strike group of the ship, increasing the combat load or the duration of the flight of airplanes without an ejection launch. And of course such planes should become if not Su-57, then at least Su-35C. In order for the above-mentioned heavy fighters of the VKS to be adapted as easily as possible for operations from the deck of the ship, sailors and designers should take the categorical requirements for two launch positions with a launch track length of at least 250 meters and two launch positions with a run length of 150 as basis for the ship design. meters Using models of engines with variable thrust vectors of the same type of aircraft with land models will reduce the angle of elevation of the nasal starting springboard from 14,30 (on Admiral Kuznetsov TAVKR) to fully adequate 130 (as in Queen Elizabeth). Only in this way, collecting bit by bit tactical, technical, technological advantages and the best world experience in combination with domestic realities, it will be possible to achieve an unsurpassed result.

Specific characteristics for aircraft carriers are the flight deck area (14800 / 13000 m2) and the size of the deck-mounted hangars for aircraft (153 * 26 * 7,2 / 155 * 33 * 6,7 m). The increase in these dimensions will directly affect the increase in the composition of the air group based, the acceleration of training and the increase in the number of aircraft ready to ascend into the air as soon as possible. The Nimitz type has a deck area of ​​18200 m 2 and a hangar within 206 * 33 * 7,6 m. The ratio of hangar length to ship length varies between 0,5 for TAVKR, 0,54 for Elizabeth and 0,62 for Nimitz. Given the placement of Admiral Kuznetsov under the deck of the Granit SCRC, which will not be on the new Russian TAVKR, and without going beyond the length of the ship in the same 305 meters, we can count on an increase in the hangar length to 190 meters. If we also neglect the “model slimness” of our “Admiral” in 34 meters to the fullness in the middle of “Queen Elizabeth” in 39 meters, it makes sense and incentive to try to expand the hangar to those same 34 meters with a height of 7,5 meters. In the estimated operating conditions of our ship in the polar and Far Eastern seas, where the polar night will cover the flight deck, and salty splashes and snowstorms polish it to icy brilliance, the presence of a spacious dry room will not seem unjustified luxury.

One of the main drawbacks of the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov”, as an aircraft carrier, is the presence of a lengthy and massive superstructure almost in the center of the flight deck and only two aircraft lifters. The American "Gerald Ford" has relatively the smallest deckhouse and even more biased to the stern, in comparison with its predecessors. The British rejected the prevailing stereotype and established two separated "towers", moreover, they separated the functions of controlling the ship and controlling the flights of deck-based aviation between them. For the Russian newest TAVKR, the English version seems more preferable. The advantages lie in the advanced capabilities both for the placement of two of the most powerful antenna posts of surveillance radars, on-board detection and control systems, communications and navigation equipment, and on issues of improving the combat stability of the ship as a whole. And the absence of exhaust engines and the absence of the corresponding highways will simplify the conditions of operation and maintenance of electronic equipment. In the interval between the "islands" will be located the third elevator for aircraft.

None of the above will not cause such disputes as the question of the composition of the air group of the new ship. Any serious operation of the American carrier-mounted wing begins with the rise in the air of the indispensable “Hokaya”, which gives the management the lion's share of information about the air and sea situation within the reach of the onboard locator. But he is also the main harbinger of the appearance of both carrier-based aviation and the aircraft carrier itself in this area of ​​the ocean, as a lighthouse on the coast warns of the dangerous proximity of coastal cliffs. It is difficult to imagine the movement of a carrier strike group of ships, and even when flying in full radio silence mode. Hunter AUG enough to have modern means of electronic reconnaissance to determine the coordinates of the connection of ships. A comparatively small and economical unmanned aerial vehicle, cruising at an altitude of 12000 meters at a speed of 650 km / h for up to 12 hours, is capable of no worse than a deck manned aircraft or a DRLO helicopter in opening the surface and air situation in a passive manner, as for reconnaissance purposes, and target designation shock group with the Russian aircraft carrier. 12-16 of such reconnaissance aircraft aboard an aircraft carrier, when organizing round-the-clock duty of one or two of them in the air, in conjunction with space reconnaissance systems, the VCS reliably guarantee the timely opening of threats and the detection of potential targets for the strike group of aircraft. With a corresponding change of onboard equipment to EW devices, such UAVs will not be superfluous, either during an attack or in a retrade of our connection of the ships.

Considering the composition of the shock air group of the ship, I would like to substantiate the choice at the beginning of the article in favor of heavy domestic aircraft. If we take the choice of Su-35C in peak with the existing MiG-29K or MiG-35, then this is due primarily to the greater range and duration of the flight. Even for American giants, the increase in the number of take-offs and landings is difficult. But to solve the problems of patrols, it is enough to increase the duration of the flight of the aircraft twice, thereby reducing the number of takeoffs and landings in the same two times. And if Ford will probably have more than one year to puff to achieve the 220 announced departures per day, then the much more modest Elizabeth will most likely quickly achieve maximum intensity in 110 departures in 24 hours. Having on board more long-range aircraft, our aircraft carrier will be able to nullify the advantage in the number of strike aircraft on board a potential enemy when operating in the open ocean. Acting off its shores, the aircraft carrier will also be able to fulfill the role of a kind of aerodrome of a jump, which will easily double the intensity of fire impact along the targets reached from the deck. If the “Queen Elizabeth” in 15 mines take up the 24 F-35C in the air, which will perform the combat mission for two hours and return to full deck in 24 minutes, then these two hours may well be used to receive, refuel and lift into the air of yet another, albeit smaller, group of aircraft from the coastal air base. Such a feint with ears is unlikely to be possible with a small duration of the flight based aircraft. The presence on board the "regiment" in 36 of the same type of heavy universal aircraft will simplify the service system, and the range of specialists and spare parts.

Without reinventing the bike, we will arm the new aircraft carrier according to the old scheme on a new element base, replacing four batteries of the DIRECT "Dirk" with four batteries "Armor M" and 24 vertical PU ZRK "Kinzhal" with ammunition 192 missiles for four packages 15 9М334 with ammunition in 240 missiles for SAM "M-Tor". I do not specifically focus on the types of ammunition and missile modifications; by the time a ship is commissioned, they may have changed several times. But it would be worthwhile to think now about the sabot 30-mm projectile and a radar or programmable fuse. It is impossible not to think about the threat of ballistic missiles. Having abandoned the good old six-piece AK-630М in the arsenal of the new ship, its missile defense will hardly suffer, but it is possible to increase the effective area of ​​the upper flight deck at their expense.

As a non-specialist and as a supporter of the "traditional orientation" of ships, I was shocked by the news of the absence of the SJC on the newest British, and then also on German destroyers. Raising the available literature on the subject of underwater acoustics on aircraft carriers, he was convinced that there were at least hydroacoustic means for detecting and protecting against torpedo threat on aircraft carriers, even though Admiral Kuznetsov did have doubts about its effectiveness. In the pictures of “Gerald Ford” in the dock chamber or on the slipway, the size of the ship’s bow bulb is striking - it’s just a sin not to install the most powerful multifunctional hydroacoustic complex! After all, if the connection of the ships or the area of ​​the SSBN on duty is reliably covered from the threat from the air and the sea surface by the presence of a detachment of our ships with the flagship aircraft carrier at the head, then the threat from submarine hunters has not been canceled either. And the number of captains, successors of Günter Prine and Otto Krechmer, who want to raise the laurels of the winner of the Russian aircraft carrier, in the world around us is much more than on all the American and NATO aircraft carriers combined. I may be mistaken, but the presence and conditions of the use of the SAC on an aircraft-carrying cruiser of estimated sizes will be preferable than on existing BOD and destroyers. And this circumstance will only give more flexibility and stability to the PLO compound, as well as the universality of the cruiser itself when basing on it heavy anti-submarine helicopters or helicopter-minesweepers.

So, the performance characteristics of the future Russian TAVKR from the author:

Length, width (midship), draft (m) - 305, 39, 11.
Displacement standard (full) (t) - 63000 (70000).
The width of the flight deck 73 m, its area 15000 m2.
Underdeck Hangar (length * width * height) (m) - 190 * 34 * 7,5.
The nuclear power plant will provide the 32 ship with full-speed ties and 18 cruising units.
Armament: 36 aircraft type Su-35С; 12 UAV; 12 helicopters PLO and PS; four batteries "Armor M"; four batteries of the M-Tor SAM system with ammunition in 240 missiles; two survey three-coordinate radar of decimeter and centimeter ranges; GAK.
Providing up to 100 departures per day at maximum intensity in 18 sorties in 12 minutes.

        Carriers are needed for the United States, so as not to carry it unassembled, but to immediately begin bombing. (and even today it’s only a third-rate enemy). England and France have one each to maintain prestige in the former colonies and no more. The RF problems are all at hand and the flight reaches the destination. For prestige, we only have one (poor lame Kuzya) and we can’t bring it for decades, and what’s new, we’ll also introduce it for decades until it becomes obsolete., Not to mention the escort .. Empty troubles and only with an aircraft carrier ....

        Yeah, the country already knows how to make planes with a range of thousands of kilometers and they do not need airfields in the ocean.

        And in space, like floundering in orbit, we are floundering, and even a manned flight to Mars does not shine. If only because there is little sense in this, and the risks for more than a year of flight in only one direction are not great.

        Exactly. It is necessary to develop reliable target designation and missiles that are launched almost from fishing longboats. Well, we don’t need an aircraft carrier, we won’t use it! In my opinion, there are two ways of striking an enemy across the oceans: 1. aircraft carriers; 2. rockets. You need to bet on missiles, because they carry the same destructive force, more dangerous for the enemy and cheaper, the latter is the most important.

      The main question is WHY? in the coming decades, our country does not have goals and objectives justifying the construction of an AUG .. The author correctly noted the cost of any bomb or missile used by an aircraft carrier aircraft in 7.5 million dollars. The same caliber costs 1 million dollars (I think the purchase for the Navy is much lower) and if you recall what else is a pilot needed ... The finest hour of the AUG fell on the Second World War, but with the development of air defense, rocket, space technology, the AUG became outdated, like armadillos and battleships became obsolete .. On the way hypersound, target designation through space, and other sources up to "sleeping" Aug is not a it’s in a vacuum, and a material object with calculated routes of application, therefore there will be no unexpected, to cover the SSBNs the same isn’t needed today not even half a century ago, they can also shoot from the pier .. And most importantly, we must understand if we are fighting seriously with AUG using all our forces and means it means the third world with one end for all ..

              The problem is that these airports are not everywhere. It is very difficult to find a nearby airfield at about. Bearish. Or at the throat of the White Sea. And our ship forces need to work there.

              Well, your arguments do not stand up to criticism at all. It is necessary to consider an aircraft carrier precisely as a floating airfield. And he is needed where coastal aviation promptly not reaching out. His tasks can be very different, and are determined by the composition of the air group.
              You still have inveterate patterns such as “an aircraft carrier a weapon of aggression of a decaying west,” he “is only needed to bomb banana countries,” and so on. Do you deny the need and need for aviation at the right time in the right place? It is the aircraft carrier that provides it. So what's wrong with them? Does logic burst at the seams?

Interestingly, on boats or destroyers, the same point of view (they are also more of a NATO will be totally more always)? The fleet must be complete, because of all the possibilities, all the tasks that must be performed. And, without naval aviation, without deck aircraft, many tasks are not accomplished. We do not need 10-12 aircraft carriers to confront the entire bourgeois world (who programmed this nonsense to you in the brain), and, behold, the 3-4 aircraft carrier for the Russian fleet is just enough.

                      Our frigates without engines are stuck, and we are happy with the descents “Grachat”, like the descent of an aircraft carrier, since even the same frigates can be built for ten years ... “Asymmetrical answer”, is it piercing a wheel at a neighbor on Lexus? The problem is not that we would not be able to make 10 AUG, we do not need them in such numbers, the problem is that with such an economy, and frigates build a problem. Russia needs a full-fledged fleet, and we will get it, but for this the oligarch's yacht should not be more important than the cruiser.

And even harmful - because it provokes admirals to reduce the escort of AB until its absence. As well as UVP, they take away the area and volumes from the main weapon of the AB - the air group.

        Thank you for the clarification. Then destroyers should provide air defense of the far zone, at least 4 units + 22350 frigates, which, unfortunately, is still very tight. If on the basis of the Fort air defense system - then yes, it takes up a decent area, but a compact cell-type UVP is quite possible to place without selecting large areas.

          This UVP will be compact only in horizontal section. And in the vertical, it will be 2-3 meters longer than the TPK heavy missiles.
          Short UVP “tori” can be pushed along the sides or even put on sponsons. But it will not be possible to place long UVP close to the board - because with this placement they will hang down under the flight deck (the width of the same 11435 on the waterline is 35 m, and on the flight deck - 72 m).

          And this means that the UVP SAM air defense system will have to be entered into the hangar.

      An aircraft carrier is primarily an airfield. Moreover, in contrast to the land, very small sizes. On it everything should be given to ensure the effective functioning of the air group, and if possible, everything that interferes is removed. All of his weapons (except aviation) are exclusively for self-defense, this is a short-range air defense system and anti-torpedo system. Moreover, as Alexey RA quite rightly remarked, even medium-range systems require a significant subdeck volume, and this will entail a reduction in the air group, fuel reserves and ammunition for it. The AUG's long defense zone should be provided by aviation, the middle - by an escort, the weapons of the aircraft carrier itself - only in order to, if necessary, finish off what broke through these two barriers
      Do not twist, and an aircraft carrier should not go alone. They don’t go. The escort has at least a couple of destroyers, a missile cruiser and a nuclear submarine (not counting support vessels)

    And how does this relate to the fact that to be always on the alert and quickly start launching planes - should an aircraft carrier have a high marching speed?
    About 20-25-30 knots ...
    How will HAC (albeit huge) perform its functionality at such speeds? In my opinion ...

                The question is different - why a HOOK for a ship that cannot use it normally? At the most dangerous time for takeoff and landing operations for the aircraft, its aircraft cannot work - too high speed.
                Of course, I understand that the AB is a large ship and it seems that the extra load for it is not a hindrance. But I want to remind you of how such good intentions ended in 1144 and 1164. So, in 1164:
                “Just think, they added“ just something ”(!) Less than a meter of length and less than a ton (!) Of weight” (meaning a new rocket). Looking ahead, we note that these "just something" cost the ship an additional 13 m in length, 2,3 m in width and 2700 tons of displacement.

    I agree with those who ask the question why do we need an aircraft carrier?
    My IMHO.
    First of all, an aircraft carrier is needed for reconnaissance and target designation.
    Secondly, to improve the stability of the naval group.
    And only in the third turn, for hitting the coast and showing the flag.

    Now we need to consider these goals in more detail.
    We take target designation.
    The question arises: who can strike at sea and shore. We list:
    1. Ships of different ranks
    2. Anti-ship coastal complexes
    3. Submarines

    In fact, we have ships and coastal batteries attached to the shore, because in a real situation, their operation outside the coastal aviation flight zone (about 1 thousand km, and the strike radius will be no more than 1,5 thousand km) is suicide (sometimes quite rational if you exchange the same TARK for an aircraft carrier).
    on the other hand, submarines (preferably atomic ones) can get close enough to the target unnoticed, but without the necessary target designation.

    Those. really we need good target designation for submarines. The surface fleet we have never built stronger than the NATO fleet (one US fleet does not even surpass).

    Plus the development of all kinds of drones.

    Combining all this, the following concept of the future fleet can be proposed.
    1. The fleet must be divided into two parts. Fleet defending the coast and demonstrating the flag and strike fleet.

    The coastal defense fleet is a flotilla of corvettes and patrol ships. Here you can also build large helicopter carriers to provide landing operations and display the flag.
    You can also create groups in each fleet of TARKs, helicopter carriers and several corvettes and frigates.
    In any case, the task of such a "home fleet" is to protect the coast in cooperation with coastal aviation, coastal air defense systems and air defense systems (VAL, Bastion), as well as electronic warfare systems.
    But turn the strike fleet into a completely submarine.
    Create several groups of shock submarines. It should be understood that we will need new types of submarines - uterine submarines for underwater and air drones.
    Those. the idea is this: a group of submarines is created for different purposes. Some are purely percussion, i.e. submarines arsenals with weapons of about 150-200 PRK.
    Part of the search (but also have PPH, but in small numbers). Their main weapon will be reconnaissance drones, both underwater and air. Now the dimensions allow even on existing submarines to launch UAVs. It remains to provide communication and immediately the enemy receives a secretive and strong opponent. The launch of 150-200 missiles will not be able to repel even the AUG, and if there are more of them, the AUG will cease to exist. And here, both on land - wounded animals are worse than a corpse, because it is a diversion of forces and means.

    Tactics, in principle, primitive search boats using drones detect and transmit coordinates to submarines arsenals. And they shoot at once with everything they can and roll off.

    In addition, an interesting situation arises. To group submarines of this type do not need air defense from the word at all. Only a PLO is needed, but a PLO under water is provided better than for surface ships. In addition, we will not receive more than 8 torpedoes from one enemy’s boat (i.e., the USA) (and now we’ll compare with the number of possible salvos of a PRK from any destroyer). And the speeds are orders of magnitude lower, i.e. response time is much more.

    It follows that we do not need aircraft carriers from the word at all. But the submarine carriers drones very much.

      I’ll just remind you - back in the 80s, the main mode of operation of the Hokai - Proler connection, which provided AWACS for AUG, was passive: detection of signal sources - classification - target designation.

        So I write that it is necessary to solve the issue of communication.
        There is an option to batch dump information.
        There is an option of directed information dumping strictly down (narrow beam) to an underwater drone.
        You can come up with a lot of things.
        But having solved the communication problem, a killer system will turn out. And much cheaper than a full-fledged AUG, because it is not necessary to spend money on air defense and the aircraft carrier is also not necessary. Supply vessels are also not needed.

        In general, I would advise our developers to read such a fantastic series about Honor Harrickton. If we omit all the fiction, then the logic of the development of the fleet can be traced quite clearly.

          In general, I would advise our developers to read such a fantastic series about Honor Harrickton. If we omit all the fiction, then the logic of the development of the fleet can be traced quite clearly.

          Yeah ... we will hang suspensions to the SD (p), to which we will hang more suspensions, to which .... and then with all this we will accelerate and maneuver. Oh yes, all this still requires superlight transmission of data (for reconnaissance and control of SD in real time) and undetected intelligence platforms. laughing

            Well, if you completely get to Marzism, then you can recall the old grandfather's way - to throw off a capsule with the data that an underwater drone or the submarine itself will pick up. ((((
            But as they say in every joke there is a fraction of a joke.

            What I mean is that solutions can be devised. Again, even if they detect a drone, they can be sacrificed in exchange for data for firing at the AUG.
            And there, even if it is destroyed, the reaction time at the AUG will be short.

            In short, I am all inclined to the fact that it will be easier and cheaper to solve the problems of interaction (just like that) of the whole group than to design and build an aircraft carrier and then serve it.
            At the same time, the cost of an aircraft carrier is 3-4 submarines. Those. for the cost of only an aircraft carrier, we can get a mini-group, which in autonomy can sink the AUG.
            To everything else, if the problems of communication and interaction are solved, then they can be applied on land, which is also relevant.


            Threat about pendants from the world of Harrickton. It’s quite a working idea to use pop-up containers with calibers / onyx (disposable) for launching missiles.
            The submarine can release it (and in several places at once, and then give a command to launch. This will reduce the launch time and reduce the likelihood of detection (because the boat can simply lie at the bottom and give a command from there). And in this state it detect very difficult.
            And these are just the obvious things. And if you think about it, you can come up with a lot of things.

      And it’s best to throw an air group out of the armament. All the same, there will be little sense from her. The expected range / duration of the flight is achievable only with a full refueling. And the limitation on take-off from the springboard is 28000 kg (for the current version of the springboard). Given that the decked version will be heavier than the land version (due to the reinforced structure, for example, an empty Su-33 is 27 tons heavier than the base Su-2,5), its empty mass will be ~ 22,5 tons. The minimum curb weight (without fuel) is ~ 850 kg more (4 V-V missiles, gun ammunition, pilot, etc.), which means that ~ 4,5 tons remain for fuel. Despite the fact that 3 tons is the minimum allowable fuel balance.
      And with a full refueling Su-35 from the deck will not take off even without any suspensions.
      Indirectly, this is confirmed by the statistics of the flight of the decked Su-33, when during a trip to the Mediterranean Sea in 2011-12. carrier-based fighter aircraft performed about 150 flights with a raid of more than 120 hours. That is, the flight duration averaged 45 minutes.

    Aircraft carrier, of course, that would be nice to have. The projection of force, and sometimes in the case, as in Syria, although there it was not so much use. But the main thing is a huge amount of funds for the development, production, service / support of the aircraft carrier itself and its main weapons, for cutting, in the end. Is this money there? It is doubtful. Even if there is, it makes more sense to put them on more necessary projects.
    Starting off from British aircraft carriers seems unnecessary. They are built around the F35, but where is this kind of aircraft in Russia? No, and hardly expected. Especially considering how many Americans have spent and are expending manpower and resources to work with the F35. To consider that Yak141 and F35 are one and the same is approximately the same as to consider that the Americans were not on the moon. In general, it seems that aircraft carriers with jumps are unfinished / defective aircraft carriers, judging by the difference in the characteristics of aircraft in comparison with catapult aircraft carriers. At least for now.

    But doesn’t it bother anyone that somehow such irreplaceable battleships in the fleet have left the arena? Despite all his armor and power of guns.
    That's right, they were primarily sentenced by the same aircraft carriers. Despite all its relative weakness, WWII deck aircraft allowed aircraft carriers to smash those battleships with impunity, that is, beyond the reach of guns.
    But here came the missile weapons, and first of all the guided ones. Now what is the advantage of an aircraft carrier against a missile cruiser? Range? So no. Reaction time? Not even funny.
    And the only niche that remained with aircraft carriers today is the colonial war. In other cases, they have utility like armadillos.

      Oh well..
      If we take a spherical horse in a vacuum, i.e. moving away from satellite guidance (which both sides have), the chances of a missile cruiser in a direct collision with an aircraft carrier are zero.

      Aircraft AWACS (and their 3pcs on an aircraft carrier) will detect a missile cruiser at a distance of 800-1000 kilometers.
      EW / RTR aircraft will interfere and suppress the cruiser radar systems at the same distance.

      A distracting wing from 8 aircraft will deliver a coordinated strike from a distance of 800-1000 kilometers of 64-128 with MALD simulators, which will completely overload the missile cruiser air defense and drive all the officers crazy.
      The main strike wing from 24 delivers a 48 strike coordinated with MALD simulators with JASSM-ER missiles from a distance of 800 kilometers.

      All of these missiles, simulators, aircraft are network-centric, have the ability to correct and redirect during the flight.

      there is no chance for a missile cruiser - just do not.

        Here you have just a spherical horse in a vacuum and left.

        Aircraft AWACS (and their 3pcs on an aircraft carrier) will detect a missile cruiser at a distance of 800-1000 kilometers.


        Before they find the cruiser, they will be discovered by themselves, did not know? In addition, an escort aircraft carrier is such a "small" target that it will be found much earlier.

        EW / RTR aircraft will interfere and suppress the cruiser radar systems at the same distance.


        Forced to disappoint you, but at such a distance you can’t suppress anything.

        A distracting wing from 8 aircraft will deliver a coordinated strike from a distance of 800-1000 kilometers of 64-128 with MALD simulators, which will completely overload the missile cruiser air defense and drive all the officers crazy.

        To do this, they still need to take off. And this is the time that the cruiser uses to launch missiles.

        All of these missiles, simulators, aircraft are network-centric, have the ability to correct and redirect during the flight.


        They still need to have time to apply.

          Let's say the distance between the aircraft carrier and the missile cruiser is 1000 kilometers (this is easier than in miles).
          Both are cruising at 25 km / h in oncoming courses and do not know about each other.

          Timestamps.

          00.00 - no one knows anything. on surveillance radars of ships - nothing. After all, the radar visibility range is limited to a hundred kilometers.
          Aircraft carrier lifts a drone aircraft into the air.
          An 01.00 AWACS aircraft located at a distance of 300km from an aircraft carrier discovers a missile cruiser at a distance of 600 km. and begins to barrage at a given distance from the ship.
          The cruiser was discovered and escorted at a distance of 950km from the aircraft carrier ..
          Aircraft carrier not found. but the captain of the cruiser knows that he was irradiated and that the aircraft carrier is somewhere in a certain segment, but he does not know where exactly.

          The aircraft carrier gives full speed against the wind to maximize the take-off weight of aircraft. let it be a fair wind.
          The second Hokai and 2 Growler EW with hanging tanks rises in alarm.

          in the air is a distracting air wing, 8 aircraft with MALD simulator suspension to the maximum.
          Aircraft do not even include their radar. They don’t need it - they all get target designation from the Hokai.

          distance between ships 810 km.
          Another 2 SuperHornet is taking off with full tanks, with hanging tanks and air refueling systems. For refueling only growlers.
          8 aircraft of a distracting air wing at a distance of 500 km from the target are launched by pre-programmed MALD simulators. They are from 64 to 128pcs. They quietly fly a snake toward the target on their 450-500 km / h.

          03.00 - 03.20 rises into the air attacking wing from 12 (there will be enough of them in fact, and even with a huge supply) of aircraft in 24 attack missiles.
          After overcoming 300 km - they launch shock rockets.

          04.00 A coordinated attack from an armada of 150 missiles, planes, and other evil spirits that imitate MALD is launched on the cruiser. And she really is coordinated in seconds. At the same time.
          Not a single ship’s air defense of the world can cope with such a misfortune,
          And the cruiser will be destroyed.
          At a distance of 750 kilometers.
          He will not be able to launch a single missile on the plane — for they are out of reach of both his radar and, all the more, his anti-aircraft missiles.
          So he will not be able to launch a single anti-ship missile.
          For firstly too far. secondly, he does not know where the goal is.
          He can still determine the direction to the target with an accuracy of 15 degrees, but this will not work. The benefit of capturing a target in a GOS is so narrow and its range is so small that it’s a fiction to get into the exact direction. and even if such a fiction occurs, then the aircraft armed with Amraami will shoot at the rocket using target designation from the Hokaev. For which these missiles will be too simple targets.

          the cruiser has no chance. no.
          nobody will let him in on the range of target acquisition and missile launch.

                  The first one. What Granite, what Onik - do not fly further than 300-500 kilometers along a high-altitude path. They just can't. The high-altitude trajectory is the most stupid. All in the palm of your hand and stray by any means. The same aircraft will be able to do this with huge rockets at a time.

                  Really dangerous is the low altitude trajectory.
                  But alas. flight range is limited to 120-150km.

                  The range of defeat of any ship by the forces of an aircraft carrier aircraft carrier is 800-1300km easily and naturally.
                  But you still do not understand this, you have not read my words.
                  Apparently not capable.

                  Did Liana's trajectories look? At least once? It is very easy - find the name of the Cosmos of the corresponding Peonies, etc. and look - with what order they are over the same point in the ocean ...

                  Amers have much more such satellites.
                  And in advance, they will also know the location of the cruiser.
                  And in that case they will have an even greater advantage ... From a greater distance they will be able to attack the cruiser.

            In addition, instead of one aircraft carrier, you can get a whole group of missile ships, each of which will have enough weapons to send the aircraft carrier to the bottom.

There is practically nothing secret there in terms of the hull and power plant.

Prizes to give out apartments in the "gaming cities" (so cheaper). Well and so on. Financial yummy. And by the way, after this MO should we? Here let the contract road units at 25% of the amount organize (well, or 100%) and forward and with songs mixed up with local budgets. Wow, let's live! We are building three aircraft carriers, and they give us 6000 km of highway. And we are aircraft carriers for six years (ooh ... probably eight) and they let go at least 600 km a year.

    Empty theorizing. Russia will not be engaged in robbery in underdeveloped countries, like the Yankees. In the event of a serious war, the American AUG is completely “compensated” by our much cheaper multipurpose nuclear submarines. To build their own aircraft carriers (namely, aircraft carriers in the plural, because in order for one aircraft carrier to always go to sea in peacetime, there must be at least three of them) an impossible task; moreover, support aircraft are also “relying” on the aircraft carrier - without them it is a target, especially for a strike from under water. In a word, one for the show off is enough. And serious emphasis is on submarines! The General Staff is well aware of this. But the question is the lack of money. The country has only 1 million people. engaged in the production of material assets, and at the same time a bunch of factories were destroyed and hundreds of defense technologies were lost - where will it come from?

    In principle, close. But there is a proposal: to finally decide that our aircraft carrier is not intended to "confront" the American AUG. Limit goals and objectives to local conflicts, solving strategic problems in a different, cheaper and more efficient way. Then you can "shrink" even a little. Now the wing. Why not modify the Mig-29? It is smaller, albeit with a compressed radius. But within the framework of tasks, and with at least 2 refueling tanks (if they are needed at all), they will simply fit into the hangar more. In conjunction with the “Leaders” this is of course a serious argument will be at sea. Properly distributed deck logistics, taking into account the lack of a catapult, you can try to achieve maximum take-off and landing ability. Solving these problems is not through size, but easier. The attack aircraft can be made to order, then 40 (probably so that with conveniences) Mig-29 (well, or Mig-29KM there) are in principle capable of providing dense air defense over a sphere of 200 km radius. An additional 320 SD is not bad at all. If you observe even the NATO intervals for take-off, even at 2 points we will get as many as 4 cars per minute. And so everything is great. Only anti-torpedo can not be forgotten. 4 The duo is good, even against the "kamikaze mosquitoes", but you need to reduce the lines of fire above the ship itself, so that the dead zone lies a hundred meters from the deck. This, in principle, is not difficult when there are specialized low-power radars, divorced along the bow and stern sponson (this is all against the ballistic trajectory). Do not rely heavily on escort, especially in the near-field air defense and anti-torpedo protection, taking into account the anti-atomic dilution of the AUG (something in the area of ​​five miles no less). And then the principle of "better, less, better" will give a good fighter of the upper and distant echelons and a friend of the coastal units in the "Syrian" version.

    And again, another author paints a strike aircraft carrier. It is written well, I will not quibble. for a drummer, that's fine.
    But I’ll go to another plane.
    No. 1 base and infrastructure (who will do where and for how much?)
    No. 2 service (repair / modernization, etc. - who, where?)
    No. 3 price issue, the number of boards?
    No. 4 What tasks will he perform? To fight with the USA? So there other priority tasks will be drawn, and he will not be ready to solve them.

    And now my vision. Russian aircraft carriers are necessary, but of a completely different kind. It is necessary to build the most simple, cheap and relatively small ships designed for an air group of no more than 25 units. LA
    The main objective of these aircraft carriers should be to ensure the safe deployment of our boats - carriers of nuclear ballistic missiles (SSBNs).
    Therefore, the main function is anti-submarine. To the maximum anti-submarine. So much so that the only news of the launch of such a ship into the sea already caused a slight panic at the NATO headquarters and the urgent withdrawal of all boats from the alleged patrol area.
    Well, the opportunity to accommodate 8-12 aircraft on board, in case the tasks need to be solved off the coast of others. it'll be enough. A certain amount of air defense systems of the near zone will also not be superfluous.

    "A relatively small and economical unmanned aerial vehicle, cruising at an altitude of 12000 meters at a speed of 650 km / h for up to 12 hours, is capable of opening the surface and air conditions in passive mode as well as for reconnaissance, no worse than a decked manned aircraft or AWACS helicopter. and target designation for an attack group from a Russian aircraft carrier. 12-16 of such scouts aboard the aircraft carrier "

      Well, nevertheless, there is some technical truth in his words.
      if on the basis of the flying laboratories X-47B - to make an RTR aircraft - then both the altitude and the range and the duration of the flight are fully ensured.

    Before they find the cruiser, they will be discovered by themselves, did not know? In addition, an escort aircraft carrier is such a "small" target that it will be found much earlier.


    how? soar so that the horizon does not interfere?

    In my opinion, it is advisable not to make a universal aircraft carrier for heavy Su, but, on the contrary, to separate the defensive and strike functions of two types of small aircraft carriers, of course, with a nuclear power plant.
    Defensive - with the expectation of light super-maneuverable fighters, moreover with 2 take-off and 2 landing strips of a symmetrical arrangement for reliable and quick take-offs and landings.
    Percussion - based on ekranoplans - they will carry away more and are less noticeable)
    And one should not chase a large number of aircraft placed on each aircraft carrier - it is better that the AUG carriers will be smaller in size, and more in number - 2, 3, 4 ...
    Such a solution will simplify the design and manufacture at various enterprises and also reduce the cost of aircraft carriers. And it will be possible to easily increase the capabilities of the AUG and, thereby, increase the ability to perform combat missions.

      I do not agree.
      A defensive aircraft carrier will always be weaker than an attacker.
      Light aircraft - have small weapons and a small combat radius.
      Accordingly, the attacking side has a much longer and heavier arm.

      The simplest example of your comparison is a medieval swordsman and a thief with a pocket knife.
      In a real battle - the chances, as you understand the thief, are zero.
      Is the analogy clear?

          In order for even a single Onyx to fly, it is necessary to create a state-forming infrastructure.
          Dozens of boats - carriers of Onyxes are needed. and atomic.
          Dozens of ships - carriers of Onyxes are needed.
          We need several naval bases with tens of thousands of servants and hundreds of guarding ships of these same naval bases. And air defense echelons covering them
          Dozens of AWACS aircraft are needed.
          Hundreds of planes are needed to cover these AWACS aircraft.
          Dozens of airfields and air defense echelons covering them are needed.
          Etc. etc.

          And this is just for that. that would one onyx hit the target ..

        "A defensive aircraft carrier will always be weaker than an attacker"
        - depending on what tasks! In the defense task, the AUG is definitely stronger!

        "Light aircraft - have small weapons and small combat radius"
        - but there will be more of them and they are better suited for air combat - they do not need to be able to hit large targets on the surface and attack very far from their own. And weapons for air combat, they can have no less than heavy aircraft.

        "Accordingly, the attacker has much longer and heavier arms."
        - in aerial combat, this is a minus. Clean fighters have always been smaller and lighter than the rest of the types.

        "The simplest example of your comparison is a medieval swordsman and a thief with a pocket knife.
        In a real battle, the thief’s chances are zero. "
        - the comparison is strained - the thief has the goal not to kill, but to steal. Peter 1 defeated the heavy Swedish fleet with the help of many light galleys. How do you like this analogy?

        And again - in my comment there are also attack aircraft carriers, and the number of all types of aircraft carriers in the AOG can be increased more easily than using monsters. And it’s harder to drown)

          For the volume occupied by that huge F-14, which is much smaller than the F-35 in hangars is about the same ...
          For a normal flight radius, catapults are needed.
          What the Syrian campaign showed.
          Our jumps gave 40 minutes of flight for the Su-33 and 50 minutes for the Mig-29K with just 2 short-range explosive missiles.
          And catapults are the size of a ship ...
          Etc. etc.
          And the battle in the marine modern scheme is a battle at a distance of over 500 miles ...

            "There will be no more.
            For the volume occupied by that huge F-14, which is much smaller than the F-35 in hangars is about the same ... "
            Your answer contradicts school geometry. A huge aircraft will inevitably occupy a huge volume, and much smaller - much less. Naturally, if the aircraft carrier is not designed universal, but specialized exclusively for light fighters.

            "And catapults are the size of a ship ..."
            The catapults now have a length of about half the length of the ship itself, so this is a matter of design and power of the catapult itself.

            "And the battle in the marine modern scheme is a battle at a distance of over 500 miles ..."

            And what, this distance is unattainable? In addition, the distance should not be taken from the ceiling, but taking into account the range of the enemy’s missile launch.

            "A light airplane - it just won't fly from a light aircraft carrier ..."
            It depends on the fuel supply, and a light fighter will obviously require less fuel than a heavy one.

    the new English aircraft carrier is still a lot from the heavy aircraft carrier cruiser “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov”! Comparable sizes, displacement, composition of the wing, springboard, lack of catapults, three starting positions on the deck ...
    In the latest model, Lamborghini still has a lot of domestic buckets with nuts - comparable size, 4 wheels, steering wheel, spare wheel ...

    An interesting opinion of the author. Although the idea of ​​building a classic aircraft carrier is closer to me, it’s slightly larger than the American ones with a large air group of up to 80 aircraft.
    Ideally, you need to stop discussions and build a first-born, following him. In 10-15 years they will be able to hand over the first pair.
