The birth and death of the seventh aircraft carrier. Catapult

October 28 The 1987 Central Committee of the CPSU and the USSR Council of Ministers approved measures to ensure the construction of an aircraft carrier and TTE of the 11437 project. TAKR had the following tactical and technical elements: displacement is standard - 65800 t, full - 74900 t, most - 79000 t. Main dimensions: length 321,2 m, width with an angular flight deck - 83,9 m, draft - 10,6 m, and not GAS fairing, neither the rotor complex below the main plane protruded. Dimensional height (from the main plane) - 68 m. Length KVL- 274 m, width KVL- 40 m.
The power plant is atomic, with 4 reactors at 305 mW and with 4 steam turbines at 50000 hp.

Mortgage board ATAKR pr.11437 "Ulyanovsk", serial number С-10



Aviation: 70 aircraft, including Su-27K aircraft up to 25 units, MiG-29 aircraft up to 20 units, DRLO Yak-44 to 8 aircraft :


15 anti-submarine helicopters KA-27PLO, 2 search and rescue helicopters KA-27PS. The angle of the springboard is 14 degrees, its length is 51 meters, the width of the descent is 27 meters, the landing strip is 228 meters long.

CATAPULT


The first catapults to launch ship planes appeared on Soviet ships even before the war. (K-3 battleship "Paris Commune", KR-1). The experience of their use was short-lived and unclaimed.


Even when they started talking about building aircraft carriers in the 70s, the syndrome of fear of the catapult, as before something unknown and inaccessible, remained.
[Center]

And yet, the catapult (officially called the accelerating device) for testing the arresting units was made by installing it to the 1986 year at the ground testing site "Thread" (the free name 23 NIITK, which then got accustomed). This polygon with a steel airfield in the form of a ship's deck was built in the Crimea, at the airfield of Novo-Fedorovka, which the Germans made during the war years for the bombing of Sevastopol. In the summer of 1982, on the "Thread" they conducted flight tests of the Su-27 and MiG-29 on the Т1 springboard (8,5 ° angle), which was supposed to be for the shortened takeoff of the Yak-41, a year later, the Svetlana-2 airfreader was tested. at first it was assumed to ensure horizontal landing of the Yak-41) - September 1 1984, the well-known ace V.G. Pugachev sat on them, on the prototype Su-27К. In 1985, the planes of the usual scheme began to take off from the steeper springboard T2 (angle 14 °), adopted for the TAKF project? and to sit down already with braking on aerofinishers.


The accelerating device (as well as aerofinishers) designed and manufactured the Proletarsky plant, having worked out the basic questions of principle on a layout on the scale of 1: 10. In the middle of 1983, they began the production of a full-scale specimen for installation at the site. It was a slotted cylinder with a length of 90 meters, with a slot sealing system and external heating. The working steam into the cylinder came from the power unit located in the boiler room.

Cooling water to the condensers was fed through a pipe with a diameter of 1,5 meter. The initial tests were carried out with 14-27 tons loading machines, which were accelerated to a speed of 180-250 km / h. At the same time, the push force was considerable — once the truck of the loader did not grab the arresting gear cable and sped off 2,5 kilometers (!) Across the field. ^

There were several characteristic crashes; the catapult's shuttle broke the coupling with the cart and went off without a load at a speed of about 400 km / h, destroying the nasal brake sections of the catapult cylinders. Then there was no water on the brake section and a dry blow led to the destruction of the shuttle pistons and brake sections.

7 on August 1986 of the year were the first idle starts of the catapult, 29 of August on the cart. During the tests, all systems were tested, mass and speed calibrations were carried out, all the required characteristics were achieved in terms of cycling, warm-up time, ultimate overload, etc., that meet the technical requirements. The aerofinisher and the emergency barrier were presented for interdepartmental tests, which were completed in 1988, then sent to Tbilisi (it was known that the catapult was abandoned and she switched to Ulyanovsk).

In short, you can talk about the aero-finisher, which is based on a brake machine weighing about 100 tons and dimensions 18 x 2 x 1,5 meters. The machine works on the principle of volumetric displacement of the working fluid from the brake hydraulic cylinder (diameter 495 mm and length about 6 meters), through the control valve to the hydraulic accumulator. Before landing, the hoisting system (all of them are 4 and they are placed one by one through 13 meters) are pushed over the deck by 300 mm. When landing, the aircraft hooks up the receiving cable stretched across the bridge (the second cable should be seized from the stern) and, moving by inertia 80-90 meters, pulls the branches of the brake cables, which
through the chain hoist, the piston rod is set in motion. Thus, by maintaining the required oil pressure in the hydraulic cylinder through the control valve, the brake machine provides for an airplane stop for about 2 seconds if the 4,5g is overloaded. Each receiving cable is operated by its own machine; if necessary, an emergency barrier is attached to the last one, the principle of which is to stop the plane. After stopping the aircraft, the working fluid is cooled and pumped back. In the domestic marine engineering industry, the parameters of the mechanisms of the take-off and landing complex had no analogues in terms of the process speed and the pressure developed in the hydraulic cylinders — when flowing during an airplane braking period, the oil heats up to 110 degrees in two seconds!

The 11437 project initially assumed three catapults. During the review and approval of the drawings, the debate did not stop: the aircraft designers did not engage in an ejection launch, arguing that the catapults would worsen the flight qualities of the aircraft, increase the accident rate, they themselves would explode, they would freeze in the North and even take off even for a turbo-prop twin-engine Yak-44.

Gradually, the ChSZ engineering personnel began to incline towards this, only sailors and designers did not agree, knowing full well that a horizontal forced start would increase the combat load of the aircraft, expand the range of naval aviation use according to wind characteristics, make it possible to start even with a pitching and rather strong rolling motion, make it easier for pilots to take off without a sharp jump (jokes with jokes, and it is not recommended to take off without a preliminary enema on the springboard). Unfortunately, the catapult on the "Thread" has never been used to take off real aircraft, although they were accelerated many times to test the hook engagement. It was planned to test the catapult and the DRLO aircraft on the 11436 (Varyag) project, but these plans were not realized.

Fluctuations in the number of “accelerating devices” began in the new shipbuilding industry minister I.V. Koksanova- he appointed the date of the relevant meeting for a decision. Most likely, the result of this meeting would be the abandonment of two catapults (although it would probably have left one for final finalization), which were proposed as an addition to the nasal springboard.
Perestroika broke out and the catapult went away. historywithout having had time to show their advantages and disadvantages. Probably S. Gorshkov was right when he said: “If we don’t put a catapult on the G-7, history will not forgive us for that”.

    It is a pity that the Union realized too late that a balanced and really strong fleet needs an organization based on the ACG principle. Now there would be a significant reserve. Creating unproven technological solutions from scratch is now much more expensive and more difficult, but nevertheless, given global trends, when even India and China realized the need for an aircraft carrier fleet, Russia needs to have 2-3 aircraft carriers.

      The leadership of the USSR realized this, well, with the exception of Khrushchev. But. first they achieved nuclear missile parity, and then the money was spent on aircraft carriers. "Successful manager Gorbochev and K" would not have come to the leadership of the country, perhaps now we had 2 aircraft carriers per fleet.

        Unfortunately, the entire communist model of the economy has rotted, proving its depravity. The society of people demotivated by the financial side in the absence of a market economy could not develop effectively and in any case was doomed to collapse. I recall the reasoning of many workers at my factory "why puff for 4 years, get an education as an engineer, and we will get almost the same amount as hard workers" or how, in front of my eyes, any desire for innovation was fundamentally oppressed, because it was encouraged absolutely out of proportion to the efforts made. Without speaking about how many people just tried to serve their number at work, constantly looking back at the clock. Of course, there were some ideological enthusiasts, but you yourself understand, they alone will not go far. We need a whole system of motivating staff at all levels.

            With such vocabulary and poking, you would have a young man at the entrance to conduct dialogues. And over the past 20 years of a vicious economy, at least products have appeared in stores and, moreover, in an abundance unthinkable for the Union. And I don’t spit anywhere, but on the contrary I try to cover what I saw with my own eyes and what, in my opinion, was destructive for the country. And I saw it at all levels, from the idlers of my factory and the bureaucracy, ending with queues at empty shops and pharmacies. I remember how they refused to sell me a 2 or 3-room apartment for my own money (!), They say you are not supposed to be married. I remember how cultural figures were strangled, how they tried to squeeze Vysotsky, how people were afraid to talk about what they think. How the cities were littered with jammers, so that their own people would not hear anyone and anything superfluous. It was all false and hypocritical. Someone was wiping his pants in party offices, and for my Motherland I worked from morning till night in the workshop and laboratory of the plant, often overtime, was a specialist of a high category, and I received as much as nearby "coexisting" idlers in the lab, spitting in ceiling throughout the day. I still remember their smirks, they say, do not overwork, no one will reward you with an extra ruble, and the awards will be distributed equally to the department. Any more or less literate person then realized that this could not continue, people lacked motivation, the lack of market competition ruined progress at the root, the registrations began to reach staggering proportions, and the collapse of the Union and the collapse of its economy was only a matter of time. If we are silent about this and do not learn lessons, then history will be permanent and people will step on the same rake instead of progressive and fruitful development. And I believe that Russia, following the current course, will regain its superpower status and, moreover, will economically surpass the USSR. You just need to know exactly what to strive for and what to avoid.

              maybe I'm the only one so bad about communism (socialism) and the economy? Yes, there was a planned economy in the Union, for the most part there was no market, there was distribution. Today in the West, any economist will say that planning in a market economy is in the order of things. Do you really think that, for example, in France, if the Socialists win the elections, they will introduce a distribution system (cards)? Yes, this is nonsense. The same Lenin introduced the NEP, but, unlike common sense, ideology won ... " the communist model of the economy, having proved its viciousness. "And in my opinion, our home-grown ideologists or the DPRK ones who climbed with their own" take and divide "(but not the Chinese, Vietnamese) proved their viciousness. the market has a place to be. And it is not vicious (IMHO).

Well, we can’t take up any experience in mining, for example, somewhere in Africa. And as for transoceanic landings, I agree with you that the AUG can support strategic submarine fleet and strategic aviation.
          It was not the aircraft carriers with the SDI that drove the USSR economy out, but the country's leadership, which, instead of the economy, was engaged in the undercover struggle, especially after Brezhnev's death. The Central Committee of the CPSU did not pass the test with copper pipes.

            Truth is born in a dispute.
            when reading the branch, there are proposals to use an aircraft carrier to support Syria or Iran --- do you want a war?

            Or for example, what happens if Venezuela starts a war with Colombia? Chase AUG to provide international assistance?

            I’ve written several times --- whether or not the aircraft carrier will be with Russia, it is up to your leadership to decide. But I believe that the best defense of Russia is the economy and the wealth of its citizens. Take China, who will crush it? and it does not yet have an aircraft carrier, and he is a great power. He certainly completes the Varangian, but he has a clear and SPECIFIC purpose --- TAIWAN.

            Russia bought the Mistral, enough to demonstrate the strength of this.
            But in principle, to arrange an arms race is quite interesting, and the rapid development of technology.

            As for the USSR economy, the leadership’s contribution is unambiguous, it got involved in an arms race, the Afghan war - even though the USA was an example in Vietnam. And the militarization of the economy led to the collapse of the USSR, I’m sure --- I caught the queue for everything, and my mother worked for defense plant.

              Good evening Kars. Firstly, with the Workers' Day for you, even though labor is now not held in high esteem. I don’t want a war, they don’t want a war in our country, but sometimes it comes by itself, regardless of our desire. In Iran and Syria, you can do without aircraft carriers, only whether you need to climb there is a question. During the war between Venezuela and Colombia, it’s good to help with armaments, you can both sides, and then help restore. About international assistance somewhere in the Arab and Latin countries ....................................... ....................
              I am considering international assistance: Ukraine-Russia-Belarus-Kazakhstan.

              It makes no sense to build an aircraft carrier, except to train pilots. You need at least four and preferably six. If the country has six modern AUGs, no one will want to start a war, even though the states have more.

              The Chinese did not build aircraft carriers because they did not know how, and so they have plans to build several but not for Taiwan. 150 km from the Chinese coast and Taiwan, and so will fly if necessary.

              I still don’t know why Russia’s Mistrals, well, maybe in 20 years I’ll find out if I live, well, maybe because of some kind of technology.

              The situation after the Second World War was more complicated, nothing was done, the will of the country's leadership was. The Afghan war is clearly a mistake. With the militarization of the economy, not everything is clear, some things were irrational, partly it affected the collapse of the USSR. Help to all Africans and Arabs also contributed, and the CPSU Central Committee rotted. When there were lines for everything, I also worked at the plant, though not at defense, but at selmash. Well, this is my opinion, and the truth is somewhere nearby.

                As long as there is an ICBM, the war between Russia and the United States does not threaten, and therefore resources are needed to counter the missile defense system that it is building, or pretends to be building the USA.

                  Hello Kars AUG this is, in a sense, anti-missile defense. The US is building missile defense, I do not know how efficiently it is, but it is building it.
                  For blockade, you can use other boats. In my opinion, an aircraft carrier is more likely an attack weapon. Yes, and it’s better to persuade, these are the same Chinese.

                    As for the AUG as a counteraction to the US missile defense, I can’t say anything except a direct battle with the Aegis Ships.

                    As for the Chinese Varangian, --- well, he still has a long way to go for striking means, especially if there are only 150 km from the mainland to Taiwan. Rather, it’s a means of prestige and a distant blockade. As long as there is the USA, you won’t persuade the Taiwanese, they’re having a good life, anyway.

                      For kars A direct battle with the Aegis Ships is unlikely to succeed, most likely they will go as part of the AUG. The American AHG has two main goals (if this is not a war with a deliberately weak opponent) 1. connecting strategists to strike positions, 2. bringing Aegis Ships to strike positions. Then the secondary tasks: gaining and maintaining air superiority, ensuring air defense of ships, landing forces, blocking the enemy’s coast, conducting tactical reconnaissance in the air (in any case, I would do something like this).
                      By the way, about the legal guarantees that the Russian authorities are demanding, it seems to me a farce, since during the global war everyone will be back on these guarantees ... s .. to fuck.
                      As for the Varangian, the Chinese are moving fast and once waking up we will understand that the Varangian is an impact tool. At present, China and the United States as two climbers hanging on the same rope thrown over a rock, the United States has money and China has production, they are now interdependent, so that under certain conditions the United States may not notice China’s machinations about Taiwan. It is possible to carry out a blockade with an aircraft carrier, but in the case of Taiwan, the range of almost any warship is at least 2000 km. In general, Taiwan is like a teal on China’s ass, but the solution will most likely be without military intervention.

                        As a video defense, the anti-missile defense pours out into the oncoming battle of the Carrier Groups, and here 2 versus 10 will not be pulled. Consequently, either the minimum parity of the 10 ACG or an asymmetric strike.

                        As for the Chinese
                        And everything would be bad enough for the heavy cruiser Shi Lan, feverishly preparing for the first campaign, if Kiev had not come to the rescue again. They sold the T-2005K, the prototype of the Russian Su-10 carrier-based fighter, to the Chinese in 33. Quickly copied, and it turned out the Chinese J-15, which was launched into series.


                        On June 1, 2011, one of the US military magazines listed four significant shortcomings of the Chinese aircraft carrier Shi Lan.

                        Firstly, this aircraft carrier will operate in the Pacific Ocean, where more than 10 aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers of the United States and its allies are already concentrated.

                        Secondly, the Chinese J-35 carrier-based fighter in terms of combat characteristics is significantly inferior to the American F / A-18E / F fighters, in addition, the aircraft carrier does not have AWACS, electronic warfare and transport vehicles, and this gap will only increase over time.

                        Thirdly, the Chinese ship has an extremely low-power self-defense system, does not have sufficiently effective escort forces in the form of modern surface ships and submarines.

                        Fourth, China could not solve the problem of creating a reliable power plant of the ship, which is the "biggest weakness" of its first aircraft carrier.

                        Thus, the Shi Lan can only be a training platform for personnel training, and it can last for years or even decades before the first truly combat-effective national aircraft carriers appear. Even if the "Shi Lan" is used in hostilities, its combat capabilities will be minimal. However, it can patrol the disputed sea areas, and in this regard, the aircraft carrier will significantly increase the range of the Navy. The PLA's Naval Forces. People's Liberation Army of China.


                        But most of all, even today I was pleased with the quote from the site where I’m interested in marine subjects (I’m all the same more tanker, but battleships are .. Morskie tanks ..)

                        Dreadnought reincarnation will occur in the coming 20 years. The United States will be in a better position, which will be able to very quickly reanimate its battleships of the Iowa type, which are now used as museums.

                        There is no direct opposition to missile defense (the withdrawal of the Boreyev and Yasenei to strike positions). And the AUG with the Aegis Ships should be in their sector. And about 2 AUGs I did not say anywhere, 6 is my opinion. An asymmetric strike can cost more than AUG.
                        And everything would be bad enough .................. Quickly copied, and we got a Chinese J-15, which was launched in series.
                        Everything is fast with them.
                        American military magazines are like "Strike Force"
                        Europe is in crisis, somebody will sell power plants, the Chinese have money. What has been going on for decades, the Chinese have a five-year plan.
                        The Varangian can block and patrol disputed water areas, I agree with this, it is necessary to solve diplomatically with Taiwan why China needs Georgia’s problem with Abkhazia.
                        Reincarnation of dreadnought can and will happen, although I am cool towards battleships, unlike tanks. But at the expense of Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin, I want to say that their song will be sung in 20 years, they are 65 years old and they are standing in the museum because they were tormented by metal fatigue . After modernization, it is evident that they cannot withstand operational loads, everything has its own service life.

        And who ever thought how much it would cost the country to build and maintain at least one full-fledged AUG? Multi-Medium (High Glaucoma) fool ) an aircraft carrier for 60-70 aircraft, 3-4 destroyers, 1-2 ICAPLs, at least for a pair of tankers and KKS. This is a minimum of $ 15-17 billion. Plus, from scratch, create aircraft carrier basing centers. (Kuzya has been based on the SRZ-35 all his life). And it would not hurt the Allies to rent (thank you they will not let) a couple of Camran base stations there, at Fidel or Chavez anything.

    Of course, Russia needs aircraft carriers. Firstly, it is a visiting card of every powerful and developed state. Secondly, for the quick projection of force in some kind of remote region, where our front-line aviation cannot reach, for the necessary gain of air supremacy. The practice of recent wars and conflicts has clearly shown who dominates the sky and wins! A concrete example of Syria! After all, it is necessary to maintain friendly states, but this alone cannot be done. And thirdly, aircraft carriers are needed to give stability to the groups of our ships and submarines in areas remote from our shores, and we have them in the future as more and more of our country’s economic recovery, they will become more and more! AMERIA announced once in the morning (having eaten pepsikola) THE WHOLE world was in the zone of its vital interests and their conscience did not torment them, some countries even began to think that it was necessary. So, three or four atomic handsome aircraft carriers will not bother us.

      This is a big question: do aircraft carriers need a nuclear club to solve strategic problems. And in confrontation with which of the small states, an aircraft carrier is needed? After all, a blow to it entails a retaliatory strike with all available forces. You can also play muscle in other areas. Yes for the USSR, Aug was necessary to support friendly regimes for an active confrontation from the United States, but for Russia today it is a very big question, today Russia is not an empire or a center ideology nor the economic flagship.

    Again to fight !!!
    In 1992, they stopped their workshop and began assembling a new production. Equipment and devices are new, 1,5-2 times lighter, more productive than the previous one; the final product is 1,5 times cheaper than the foreign one. And then everything stopped and everything was stolen. now it is clear to me - these were Andropov's developments, which "Tagged" tried to appropriate.
    And now about the main thing - we need ekranoplanes (5-6 pieces for each fleet) - and then for eight years you can forget about aircraft carriers. Eight years, you just think ...

    it's time for Russia to build an aircraft carrier "for itself". Even in spite of the controversy. Simply - "to be". To maintain the status at least.
    there are two better dogs, for SF and Pacific Fleet (although two are better for the second smile )

    Ares,
    Unfortunately, the entire communist model of the economy has rotten, proving its viciousness.

    The head of the "ruling elite" is rotten, not the communists. Something in China is not noticeable that they are dying out. Fingers snapped that the bucks will be fused and Obama is already in China.
