Model of UDC "Surf"

This year, the Russian Navy is waiting for a joyful event: the laying and construction of two UDCs of the Surf project at the Zaliv plant in Kerch should begin. In the second half of the 2020s, the Navy should receive two UDCs: Sevastopol and Vladivostok.

The exact characteristics of the new project are still unknown. The approximate data are as follows: the total displacement of the ship is 28 tons; full speed - 000 knots; cruising range - 22 nautical miles; autonomy - 6000 days; crew - 60 people, in addition: up to 320 marines, up to 900 units of military equipment, up to 50 landing boats in the dock chamber; air wing: more than 6 landing helicopters Ka-20, anti-submarine Ka-29, or attack Ka-27K.



News really good. The shipbuilding industry receives a new large order; there will also be work for helicopter manufacturers. For the first time since Soviet times, domestic shipbuilding received an order for the construction of such large vessels for the Navy.

This article discusses both domestic UDC projects and foreign experience, comprehends the concept of using such ships as part of the Russian Navy and foreign countries.

UDC: foreign experience


USA

The United States as the main maritime power today has the largest fleet of UDC, as well as experience in their design, construction and operation. To date, the U.S. Navy used 3 types of UDC.


UDC type "Tarava"

The first of them were UDK type "Tarava" built in 1971-1978. These ships had a total displacement of about 40 tons; engines - steam turbine unit with a capacity of 000 hp; speed up to 70 knots; cruising range - 000 nautical miles; crew - 24 people; landing - 10 people of the Marine Corps. Staffing aviation The group provides for the presence of 16 Tarava-type ships on board 46 CH-6D Sea King helicopters, 53 CH-4D Sea Stallion helicopters and 1 UH-43N helicopters. The maximum possible number of aircraft on board is XNUMX units.


UDC type "Uosp"

Next in the American fleet steel UDC type "Uosp". These ships were built from 1987 to 2009. A total of 8 ships were built. Characteristics of Uosp "Uosp": total displacement - 40 532 tons; engines - 2 steam and 2 gas turbines with a capacity of 70 hp; maximum speed - 000 knots; cruising range - 24 nautical miles; crew - 9500 people and 1147 people of the marine corps; air wing - 1893 - 30 CH-32 helicopters, 46 - 6 AV-8B aircraft or up to 8 CH-46 helicopters or 46 AV-20B aircraft.


UDC type "America"

The latest project under construction now is the UDC of the America type, which has the following characteristics: total displacement - 45 tons; engines - 700 GTU General Electric with a capacity of 2 hp; maximum speed - more than 70 knots; cruising range - 000 nautical miles; crew - 22 people; landing - 9500 marines; air wing - up to 1059 helicopters and aircraft, or 1871 F-29B fighters.

Japan


Izumo-class helicopter destroyer

The Japanese Navy is armed with 2 types of UDC (here they are called destroyer-helicopter carriers). The first type is the Izumo helicopter destroyers. Total displacement - 27 tons; engines - 000 GTU General Electric with a capacity of 4 hp; speed - 112 knots; crew - 000 people and 30 landing personnel; air group - up to 470 aircraft (helicopters, convertiplanes, fighters).


Hyuga-class destroyer

The second type is the Hyuga destroyers. Total displacement - 18 tons; General Electric engines with a capacity of 000 hp.; maximum speed - 100 knots; crew - 000 people; landing - 30 people; wing - 370 helicopters.

France


UDC of type “Mistral”

The French Navy has the Mistral type UDCs well known to us. These ships have a total displacement of 32 tons; Engines: 300 Wärtsilä 3V16 diesel generators (32 MW), 6,2 Wärtsilä 1V18 diesel generator (200 MW), 3,3 Alstom Mermaid rotary-column speakers (2 MW); total engine power - 7 hp; speed - 20 knots; cruising range - 400 nautical miles; crew - 19 people; landing - up to 10 marines; air wing - 700 heavy or 160 light helicopters.

United Kingdom


Helicopter landing ship dock HMS Albion (L14)

Helicopter landing ship dock Dock HMS Albion (L14). Total displacement - 18 tons; engines - 500 diesel engines with a total capacity of 4 hp; speed - 21 knots; cruising range - 213 18 miles; crew - 8 people; air wing - 600 Sea King helicopters MK 325.

China

The construction of universal landing ships for the Russian Navy

UDC of project 071 of the Qinchenshan type

UDC of project 071 of the Qinchenshan type. Standard displacement of 19 tons; engines - 000 diesel engines with a total capacity of 4 hp; maximum speed - 47 knots; range - 200 km; landing - 20 people; air wing - 11 Z-000 helicopters.

Spain


UDC Juan Carlos I

UDC Juan Carlos I. Displacement - 27 tons; engines - diesel-electric propulsion system with a total capacity of 079 hp; speed - 30 knots; cruising range - 000 nautical miles; crew - 21 people; landing - 9000 marines; air group - up to 900 planes and helicopters.

Netherlands


UDC type "Rotterdam"


The ship has a normal displacement of 12 tons. The power plant is based on four Stork Wärtsilä 750SW12 diesel generators with a total capacity of 28 MW. Generators supply electricity to four electric motors with a total capacity of 14,6 MW. Electric motors are connected with two propellers, two for each screw. In the bow of the ship there is a bow thruster. Such a power plant allows the landing ship to reach speeds of up to 12 knots.

Cruising range at an economic speed of 12 knots - up to 6000 miles. The crew is 128 people. Troopers - 600 Marines. If necessary, this landing ship can carry over 30 tanks or up to 170 armored personnel carriers. Air wing - from 4 to 6 helicopters.

UDC: domestic experience


The USSR did not build the UDC, however, it designed as an answer to the American UDC “Tarava”. We are talking about the UDC project 11780. These ships were supposed to have a normal displacement of 25 tons; as engines, a boiler turbine plant with a capacity of 000 hp was assumed; maximum speed - 180 knots; cruising range - 000 nautical miles; landing - 30 people, up to 8000 tanks; wing: landing option - 1000 Ka-40 or anti-submarine version - 12 Ka-29.


BDK project 1174 "Rhino"

It is also worth saying a few words about those who went to the BDK series of project 1174 "Rhinoceros". These ships were built for the USSR Navy in 1973-1978. They had a total displacement of 14 tons; engines - 060 gas turbines with a total capacity of 2 hp; speed - 36 knots; cruising range - 000 nautical miles; crew of 20 people; landing - up to 7500 people, up to 239 PT-500 tanks, or 50 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, or up to 76 vehicles; air wing - 80 Ka-120 helicopters.

UDC Construction: Pitfalls


As can be seen from international experience and from the experience of the USSR, UDC were widely used and are used in fleets around the world. In this context, the desire of the Russian Navy to have such ships in service is quite understandable.

UDC can be used:
• for landing on the enemy’s coast;
• as a command ship;
• as a light aircraft carrier;
• as a hospital ship;
• as a ship of strategic projection of force;
• as a floating airfield for anti-submarine helicopters.

Such multifunctionality evokes sympathy for ships of this type, however, there are pitfalls in the construction of such ships for the Russian Navy.

1. Is industry capable of overpowering the construction of these ships? Is the Gulf Shipyard ready to build such large ships in an acceptable time? Given the novelty of the project, ten years for the construction of ships seems to be a very realistic term.

2. What engines will these ships run on? There is only one candidate here - the Rybinsk Saturn, where the production of gas turbines for frigates of project 22350 has just begun. Will the enterprise be able to ensure timely delivery of engines for UDC? Will there be a delay in the supply of engines for frigates?

3. UDC at sea requires reliable air defense and anti-aircraft defense. This means that each UDC in combat conditions must be accompanied by ships with modern and long-range air defense systems, anti-submarine ships, as well as several submarines. Is our Navy able to provide such an escort for UDC "Surf"?

4. Given the shortage of ships of rank 1-2, is it justified to build UDCs, which require engines with which there is already a shortage, occupy a place on the slipway, absorb money? Isn't it better to order additional frigates of project 22350 or 11356P or corvettes of project 20380?

5. What is the tactical use of these ships in the Russian Navy? Where are we going to land? What ship groups to lead? Where to project the strength of our Navy?

Conclusions


UDC - a widespread type of ship in different fleets of the world. The design decisions and performance characteristics of ships used in their design are varied. In size, they can vary from relatively small: UDC type "Rotterdam" or BDK project 1174 to the size of a light aircraft carrier, such as UDC "America". The propulsion systems on these ships are also diverse: diesel, diesel-electric, gas turbine.

The most interesting experience of the United States in the construction of UDC, since they are already operating the third generation of such ships. Since the 1970s, Americans have been building the same type of UDC with almost the same size, speed, range, power plant capacity, and airborne landing capability. The changes are mainly made by engines (replacing a steam turbine installation at a gas turbine) and an aircraft wing, replenished with new types of aircraft. The use of UDC in the NATO fleets is quite obvious and leaves no doubt. For the United States and its allies, UDC is an offensive weapon, which can be used in all areas of the oceans, reliably covered by a huge fleet of NK and submarines. But what about Russia?

There are few doubts that our industry will be able to build such ships. Most likely, with proper financing in ten years we will receive these ships. Engines for them can build Rybinsk "Saturn", it is possible, based on units for frigates of project 22350.

As for the tactical use of these ships, it is not entirely clear. We, by and large, have nowhere to land an airborne assault; moreover, in the event of a conflict with a serious enemy, 900 men and a couple of dozen helicopters will not do the weather, but they themselves will be in a very vulnerable position. The Americans can provide their landing with a powerful cover from the sea, but we are not able to do this.

UDC at sea is a very vulnerable target and requires powerful air cover and from enemy submarines. For the Russian fleet, allocating such an escort for UDC is now a difficult task.

The only function that UDC “Surf” can unambiguously perform is the function of a floating airfield for PLO helicopters.

Perhaps the best solution would be to postpone the construction of the UDC for ten years and now concentrate on saturating the fleet with ships of 1-2 ranks, multipurpose nuclear submarines and diesel-electric submarines and only after solving this problem proceed with the construction of large aircraft-carrying ships. However, we are not looking for easy ways.

It remains only to add that the construction project of UDC “Priboy” has its advantages: the shipbuilding industry receives the largest order in recent years and the opportunity to gain new competencies in the construction of large surface ships. Helicopter manufacturers also receive a new order, which is also good for our industry.

    Now we are barely building ships, and in 10 years the Chinese will ask us to build them? We have a personnel shortage for specialists in the construction of such ships, and the succession of generations is not nearly visible! So, it was necessary to lay and build the UDC yesterday! By the time they reach 90 percent, they will get an engine!

      We have a shortage of staff for the position of managers. There are many who want to command, but their abilities are far behind desire ... Something when the Mistrals bought agreed to pay the workers French salaries, and at domestic enterprises the equipment was old, if not antediluvian, and the workers live in poverty. ..It is natural that the overwhelming majority of hard workers are pensioners and there is no change, since living on a salary + pension is still somehow possible, but living on a single locksmith's salary is no longer realistic ... and if it’s real, it’s very hungry ... You need make youth go la to factories, and her salary of 15 - 20 thousand rubles per month for heavy dirty, not prestigious work can not be lured ...

        Shadow041 - over the past years, many hard workers hurt or retired, or died! And, for the Mistral, we built only Stern - that is, part of the ship! And, between the construction of the part and the entire ship, the difference seems to be not only in size!

        You are funny. Do you think that a plant that needs a worker, in the event of personnel starvation, will not begin to increase the supply of salaries? Find a good welder or crane operator right now, and for another 15-20k.

          The problem is that the natural change of generations is now disrupted in industry. Previously, before leaving the factory, pensioners had time to prepare a shift for themselves, and young people who studied to work at these factories (received a specialty, yes, they took after school, for example, a locksmith's apprentice and taught at the expense of the factory) received, though not large, but sufficient for that. to get by with your money. Today it is impossible to live on 15000 rubles, and even on 20000 rubles, this is poverty. The hucksters are not ready to pay young people for studying, they don't want to pay normally to people with little experience either, like they don't earn that much, and experienced old people are not paid so much, and old people will soon run out of business and then your business will be over.

      Our industry really did not build such ships, but was planning to build (Mistral). A set of documentation for them was preserved and could be taken as a basis. GEM - from 22350, or 22350M (purely gas turbine). At the price they will come out approximately like frigates 22350-100 billion rubles for two ships. In Kerch, slipways and a huge dock make it possible to build even full-fledged aircraft carriers, and before that Soviet supertankers and lighter carriers (even one nuclear) were built there. The whole question is personnel and technical equipment.
      And the main misfortune and scourge of modern domestic capitalism is theft. Theft of allocated funds and disruption of orders ... Requires tight control and support of the project from the very top.
      The potential for the "Zaliv" in the future is great - it can become the second, and maybe the first (in terms of time) superyacht in Russia, but doubts remain.
      Doubts about the sufficient competence of the contractor (they never built large ships and did not have such large capacities), whether they will cope. Will the available equipment and technical equipment allow normal construction? After all, the shipyard was plundered during the period of Ukrainian domination ... It was even owned by one of the main crooks of the independent - Poroshenko ... So far nothing has been heard about the technical re-equipment of the shipyard for such a serious order, and people are dismissed from there with insult - "steal". It would not hurt Zaliv to have such powerful overhead cranes that Zvezda received in Bolshoy Kamen ... and just a sufficient number of trained personnel who will be paid a good salary for shock work ... and not withdraw funds into afshores, portraying for several years "stormy activity" followed by retreat to the West.
      Need control and support of the project.
      Including - the prosecutor.

        It would not hurt to pay for gas debts to shake the shipyards in Nikolaev from Ukraine. And whoever is the boss chooses orders, at least UDC, at least even atomic aircraft carriers. And which is typical, it will cost less than in Russia, due to cheaper labor. Do not hesitate in the workers, they will work hard to earn real money, there will be neither time nor effort, and most importantly moods with a Download from a pan on his head.

      Are you aware that in 1940 the USSR fulfilled the plan for the production of the T-34 by only 15%? Fifteen, Karl! Instead of 1000 tanks, only 150 were built. I wonder what they would have written on the Internet if they had existed then. And you can't blame the "comprador elite". Failure of plans is, unfortunately, a rule, and it is possible to reach the level that Sukhoi plants demonstrate among our producers, in which the "drying" was broken at the end of the year, count the first small breakdown in 10 years, only by working comments.

    How beautiful everything is on paper and in layouts ... fellow One can only hope that the construction project of UDC "Surf" does not turn into a project of "Rotterdam" ...

            I believe that these two ships are needed by our fleet. Or maybe even more than two. Moreover, they will be useful and the Black Sea Fleet and Pacific Fleet. Therefore, they need to be built. The question was where to build ?!
            Indeed, of course, the choice of construction also matters. Do you disagree with this? We returned home a very large Soviet center for the construction of military and civilian ships with a huge dock. Yes, everyone there is in a deplorable state, but does that really mean that you don’t give a damn about all this? Yes, there will have to invest serious amounts, it is possible to bring specialists. To carry out modernization .. There is money in the country. There is a desire to produce. And the main thing is наш factory on our the earth. They work there our people. In principle, this enterprise is already undergoing modernization. Other shipyards are full of orders and they are overloaded. It is a fact. There are problems with components and power units. This is also a fact. But a few more years of downtime and this shipyard can finally degrade. My opinion is that the idea of ​​creating such large ships in this particular enterprise is not accidental. And this is only the first swallow. Need acceleration. Look how much this plant has produced over all its years .. I hope to create no less. With uv.

              Absolutely agree. If the fleet really needs ships, then they need to be built where the factory is engaged in the construction of ships. And not own restoration at the expense of the customer.

            Yes, most likely the task of this order of UDC is to preserve the plant and the remaining competencies for the construction of ships of large displacement.
            But why not try on less valuable orders?
            So just this order, judging by its discussion, is not the most urgent and key for modern Russia and its fleet, and therefore, from the very beginning, the leadership understands that it will be built for a long and painful time, and by that time the mass production of engines will be debugged.

      Perhaps I, too, in the current situation, would have stopped at something like "Rotterdam" or 1174 "Rhino". True, the UDC has much more potential functions. Perhaps that is why our top military leadership is so eager to acquire such ships.

        In fact, if the fleet does not have such a ship, then there is no experience of its operation in general. That is, the meaning may be in this, if you have to drive such products as a series, then there will be at least some idea of ​​them.

        If the hotels were to acquire ships, and not ship designs, then the country would increase production capacities like under Stalin. A center for marine gas turbine engine building would be created, like the Nikolaev "Zarya-Mashproekt" under the Union, which would take over the production of gas turbine engines and gearboxes !! then the shipbuilders would have something to build from !!! Money would be poured into Taganrog Priboi and Ladoga to compensate for the GAK plant in Krasniy Luch (Luhansk region) ... Under Beria, Kolomna could also receive control and maximum funding in order to quickly master 16 SD-500, (as a promising 10000 hp diesel), and much more ... BUT ?! More important than playing projects ?! .... The same 22350M, you can not invent at all, but simply re-digitize 11560 (in 3-D, draft) and re-equip with today's weapons systems. After all, 1155 showed good seaworthiness (like the predecessor project), and now do they want to modernize it on the example of "Shaposhnikov" ?!... Digitize 11560, it was already under 64 cells "Polyment-Reduta" (which was then still in development), and was already planned under 24 UVP UKSK, in the nose !!! If the width of 6 x 8 cells of the UKSK does not fit (which is unlikely, because on 22350M (!) This is exactly what they wanted on the layout), then you can install 6 x 6 cells (?!), And on the sides of the deckhouse, inclined PUs as suggested by the site "Agatmorinformsystem" (!) ...

If we can somehow organize air defense / anti-aircraft squadron squads, then how can we support the marines on the shore? To hit with calibers for each sneeze is somewhat problematic. And the infantry with a couple of dozen mortars, and a battery of howitzers, will carry out both the marines and the BDK at the landing stage. You just have nothing to fight with them.

The capacity of both the BDK and the UDC will not allow dismissing at least some serious number of people and equipment. And apart from aviation, the landing party will not feel very sweet. Well, here's Syria, for example, without khmeimi, troops of Assad, Ksir and Hezbollah. How long will one battalion survive, albeit with armor, but without air support? Day two. We have serious problems with the only aircraft carrier. At the output we have. The BDK, as an amphibious assault ship, can be used within reach from our airfields. That is, there is practically nowhere before the start of a nuclear war. Finland with Sweden, and Ukraine with Georgia. That's all. The rest is either NATO or nuclear countries. UDC, if not with 2-3 helicopters, but more serious, allows you to operate even in the Southern Hemisphere. It is clear that not against any enemy, but the possibilities are still an order of magnitude wider than that of the BDK. The only thing is that in pursuit of the UDC we need full-fledged supplies transports.

For on its two MLRS packages, in the depths of defense there is its own battery of howitzers, and even the anti-ship missiles are deployed.

          Own armament, anti-piracy, anti-shahidny, and the last frontier of defense against attacks by anti-ship missiles / aircraft (productive air defense systems MD).

              If you take the Chinese, there are several installations of their RIM-116 variant (for 24 MD SAMs), 11 MZA barrels and their universal launchers for jamming / depth charges:


              If you take Carlos - the best UDC of the last generation for today, before entering Bougainville and Trieste for sure (for America and Tripoli without dock cameras). 8 autonomous cannon and machine gun turrets from martyrs. Interference settings. Reserved space for a small runway under ESSM or 2 rotary installations on the same rocket.


              America - Rotary Units for ESSM, RIM-116 and Volcanoes


              The newest European is Trieste, the most toothy. 2 VPU Silver of 8 cells under Aster15 or x2 of their new promising SAM SAM MDM. 3 antiachoid guns KVA. And they abandoned the goalkeepers in favor of the latest version of Melara 76 + a rich family of shells for her. However, they position them as air defense - one above the docking camera and two in the nose sponsons.


              In general, for the last generation, the traits of all are the maximization of the air group, a displacement of 33 - 000 tons. Here Mistral already seems an outdated kid wink .

      Here I disagree with you from the word "absolutely". But too lazy to once again write what has already been said more than once. In short, then:
      Military conflict with Georgia in 2008. What ships, besides "Moscow", were involved in it? A couple of RTOs and half-dead BDKs? And now imagine the same conflict, but if Russia has full-fledged universal amphibious ships capable of landing several battalions of marines with equipment on the enemy's coast, covering the whole thing from the air. Capable, in the air, to carry out an assault landing deep into enemy territory.
      Syrian Express. Yes, basically, landing ships only work as bulk carriers. Only they are exhausted, both morally and physically. That is why we had to urgently purchase civilian cargo ships and launch them under the Andreevsky Flag. It is good that Syrian government forces control the coast. And if not?
      I completely agree with you that our missile carriers enter the sea without proper cover, we remember, for these purposes, back in 2009, the then commander-in-chief of the destroyers promised to build (but what he did not promise, of course). But still it would be wrong, I believe, to give all the priority to only one direction of the development of the fleet. I remember that the union also once thought that aircraft carriers and UDCs did not need to be built; grandfather Lenin would not have approved of this. But during the Caribbean crisis, it became clear that there were no stupid ships to demonstrate power (which is an important task, it turns out). It was then necessary to lay the flag on the submarines, which smacked of suicidal nonsense hi

Although I am sure that there are reports to the government of the country, signed by the top military leaders, which indicated the need to purchase Mistrals, and I would very much like to know - these reports were prepared by order or on personal initiative by the naval fleet.
      But since then everything was decided unambiguously, then I consider the construction of these ships to be a boon for domestic shipbuilders - even though the benefits are obvious. What does this give the fleet and the country - hell knows ...

        Build later, when the priority tasks are at least somehow solved. In the Far East, they will not be completely redundant, as it seems to me. The coastline there is really big without proper protection / control. Having a well-equipped, mobile unit will not be superfluous.
        In the waters of the Baltic and the Black Sea, it is very doubtful, except to be able to send them somewhere far away? But then a fleet of power support and cover is needed! In short, one without the other is not effective.

              Before moving on to the armament program, it is first necessary to determine how we represent future military conflicts with our main and secondary opponents, and based on this, it is conceptual to determine what the fleet should be and what it will be in priority. And after that, while developing a new weapons program, plan the construction of various ships. At least that was what Soviet military science did when it formed the doctrine of a future war and determined priority weapon systems. Now this can only be sadly recalled, because after Serdyukovism we still have not recovered, and the quality of military knowledge of our Supreme leaves much to be desired, and the current Moscow Region is weak for its position.

    They tried to break the contract on the helicopter carriers. In March 2020, the general director of the Ak Bars shipbuilding corporation Mistakhov spent the night in a temporary detention center on Petrovka in a criminal case on bribing for agreeing in 2014 contracts of the Ministry of Defense for the supply of ships, initiated back in 2017 on the basis of the testimony of the head of the 2nd department of the department audit of the Ministry of Defense of Russia Yuri Efimov, retired colonel. Efimov said that in 2014 Mistakhov turned to him and asked him not to underestimate the cost of future contracts of the plant with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and most importantly - to agree on them. At first, Mistakhov allegedly gave a deposit of 30 million rubles, and a year later - another 35. The reason for the bribe was two government contracts concluded in 2014-2015 for the supply of components for anti-sabotage boats "Rooks". Mistakhov, already knowing about the criminal case, hinted at possible complications: "... There are other fears. It is clear that now we are reaching another level. When we were just thinking about the corporation, I was warned: you will face certain pressure, you will have serious opponents."
    The judge eventually decided to release Mistakhov in the courtroom, without any bail. The refusal of the petition to the investigators who asked to send Mistakhov to the pre-trial detention center until April 27, 2020, the judge explained by the fact that the accusation is based only on the testimony of one person. Mistakhov's words in court "I head a large team: 17 enterprises, 11 thousand people. It's amazing! I was summoned yesterday. I thought it was just for interrogation. Tomorrow I have a visit from the deputy head of the government Borisov Yuri Ivanovich, I am signing an agreement. I am signing a large a contract worth more than 100 billion. Now I am preparing two ships on the "Zaliv." This is a Russian-scale event, there will be celebrations, the signing of the contract. It's scary for me if the design bureau, which I have, and the plant lose such the contract due to the fact that their leader got into such a situation. I have a team of thousands. People would say: “This is because of him.” We initially fought for this contract, presented products, told which project is better. it took us a year to defend and fight for this project with several bureaus and factories. And then it suddenly comes out that I should be arrested. "

        And this task is much more complicated than the creation of UDC and VTOL combined
        According to VTOL aircraft, there are at least some groundwork, they remained in Nikolaev for possible aircraft carriers, but even there they did not build a single traditional aircraft carrier under the USSR, they only managed to lay it down.

So you correctly noticed that in the aircraft industry our situation is better than with ships. In the medium term, UDCs with VTOL aircraft used as light aircraft carriers are a more realistic option than the creation of classic aircraft carriers with a full-fledged air group.

          In aviation, everything will run into the engine.

            I would not call Gorshkov a classic aircraft carrier.
            Kuznetsov did not confirm the ability of an aircraft carrier of this type to operate in real combat conditions.
            The Chinese also see it as educational and transitional. What Indians think about this is a mystery. Moreover, they can probably try to take the finished catapult from the States, as well as the French.
            Ulyanovsk was to become a classic. But it was not built, so there is no such experience in principle.
            Typing it right now on this type of aircraft carrier is simply unrealistic
            Actually, the Chinese are completely repeating the Soviet way - from springboard to springboard and ejection and then to purely ejection and plan to go it on 4-5 ships.
            How much it all costs, and how long it will take even the Chinese, is unknown.
            Initially, both Gorshkov and Kuznetsov, were under the designed VTOL aircraft, like other ships with a springboard, existing in the world.
            But due to the accident of the VTOL prototype and the assertiveness of the Migovtsy and Sukhoi, the Yakovlevites were pushed from their Yak-141.
            If type 30 is brought to mind, and he really will give 18000 on the afterburner, without the afterburner 11000, as promised, it will be possible to try to make a single-engine aircraft based on it according to the F-35 type, especially since there will be no need to do it at once of three types , but only VTOL, and this is simpler and will provide better performance.
            In any case, the development and construction of VTOL aircraft is incomparably cheaper than a full-fledged classic aircraft carrier.
            Even if it does not have a combat load of 9 tons (according to the "foreign press" smile ), like the F-35, and 4,5-5,5 like the MiG-29K, it will still be a real plane and a real light aircraft carrier or UDC, which can be used in a combat situation.

              No. Initially, "Kuznetsov" was designed for catapult take-off aircraft and was supposed to have two catapults and not have a springboard.
              Of these options, the NPKB recommended for further design a fifth, minimum displacement version with a power plant of the 1143 type and two catapults, one of which, with a reduction in the main dimensions, it became possible to place only by removing the Granit SCRC. The bureau proposed to consider the MiG-11435K fighter and the Su-29K attack aircraft as the main types of catapult takeoff aircraft for the aircraft carrier pr. 25 (the dimensions of the Su-27K fighter required a 35% reduction in their number). The area of ​​the flight deck of the aircraft carrier pr. 11435, according to the technical proposal, exceeded that of the aircraft carrier aircraft pr. 1143-11434 by 1,6 times, and the hangar - by 1,3 times. The presence of one catapult on an aircraft-carrying ship, if damaged in combat conditions, practically deprived the aircraft carrier of the opportunity to use the main power of its aircraft weapons. With a total number of LACs up to 42 machines, the ship provided for the basing of 18-28 aircraft (depending on the type) and 14 Ka-252 helicopters. The technical proposal considered the basing of 18 Su-27K fighters or 28 - MiG-29K (Su-25K) or 16 VTOL Yak-41 and 12 MiG-29K (Su-25K).

              Kuznetsov’s current appearance is the result of a compromise between the Navy and the Ustinov-Amelko group, which threw out catapults and rewrote the composition of the air group on VTOL aircraft.
              In early 1980, the Minister of Defense signed the directive prepared by the General Staff, which set the Navy, Air Force, SMEs and MAP tasks to reduce the displacement of TAKR pr. 11435 and reorient its air group, mainly to aircraft of vertical and short take-off and landing (NE / UVP) . To ensure the takeoff of short-run aircraft, it was proposed to provide a springboard instead of catapults on the ship. This was followed by instructions to ensure the take-off of VTOL Yak-41 with a short take-off.

              And only by the joint efforts of the aviation design bureau (high thrust-weight ratio) and the Nevsky design bureau (springboard geometry for a short take-off) did normal fighters be put on deck 11435.

                Maureen writes about preliminary estimates for design. There were several such estimates in different versions, they went the difficult way of long disputes, this struggle is a separate topic for discussion, all these intrigues and other things.
                In fact, it was the project that Ulyanovsk later became, with two catapults, on which the use of ejection deck aircraft was justified, naturally, with catapults.
                After the death of D.F. Ustinov (1984), the NPKB was instructed to begin designing the atomic TAKR pr. 11437 with ejection aircraft (stipulated by the military shipbuilding plan 1986-1995) with the total number and types of LAC recommended in 1973 for further Design AB pr. 1 160.

                We can say that it was necessary to immediately build the future Ulyanovsk. But no such decision was made.
                Specifically, Kuznetsov was actually designed and built specifically for VTOL aircraft, without catapults.
                And only then, not only did the catapult squeeze as the main ones, without any catapults, but they also supplanted the Yak-41.
                Once again, look, I’m not discussing plans and preliminary estimates now, and the reasons for all these disputes, and why such a decision was made on the construction of Kuznetsov. But this decision was made, Kuznetsov from the very beginning of construction was built specifically for VTOL as the main ones, and already at this stage it was deeply wrong to push the decision to use ejection aircraft without catapults on the ship, and using the Yak-41 accident to throw them out of the ship altogether, that we are now observing in the form of real combat capability of Kuznetsov. If VTOL were brought to mind, it would be possible to use Kuznetsov as combat with VTOL and training as transitional to the development of catapult to Ulyanovsk, but replacing VTOL with catapult without catapults was a clear mistake.

          Today, only one country in the world is capable of building traditional aircraft carriers on its own, and it will not help, like the French

          Russia, India, China, France, Britain and the United States have aircraft carriers, so which country, in your opinion, is the "only one" capable?
          Building large aircraft carriers is prohibitively expensive, and equipping them even more expensive, however, no super technologies are required for this. VTOL is another matter, the creation of which with one success or another could only be mastered by Russia, Britain and the USA.

    Of course, I understand that the capacity of modern UDCs for the "partners" is somewhere in the region of the optimum achieved through suffering. But I categorically do not understand our domestic zeal for ships of the same displacement / capacity / power of the GTU. This despite the fact that UDC is needed "the day before yesterday"! Despite the fact that it is not clear what the development of production of new domestic gas turbines will be, for these "2-battalion" UDCs, we would "satisfy" our frigates. It would be more logical and wiser to go closer to the "Chinese" version - 4 UDCs for 400-500 assault forces and then "half less" in terms of parameters, although the turntables need to be "maxed out" within this framework .. "1-battalion" UDCs with reinforced helicopter fleet - this is 1) shorter construction time, 2) it is more realistic GTU, 3) it is more flexibility in military planning, 4) it is more stability of the UDC grouping in the "express" mode (1 left, 3 remained). What confuses us is the "titanic" swing for our small experience in relation to ships of this class, persistently pulling "into the Mistral".

      Displacement of 14000 tons, 18000 tons (full).
      It has helicopters and boats.
      But the Koreans have already announced that they will build a larger UDC for the F-35 base (although they are considering the possibility of placing them in Dokdo too).
      These are logical stages - at first a smaller size for helicopters, then, with the appearance of VTOL aircraft and experience in the construction and operation of UDC, a larger one.

        Koreans abandoned the hangar deck. And they will build a new one already with her. Therefore, they came out less. However, the nominal capacity for helicopters is achieved by abandoning the landing, and by landing - by abandoning the air group outside the flight deck. This is a so-so solution. All large uncles (China, USA, France, Spain, Italy) are built with a dedicated hangar deck.

                Affordable UDC is dangerous to build in Russia. Great risk - stay only with them. For they will build 7-9 years, revising the project, changing. And then, it turns out that there are no money for expensive ones and like for adult uncles, and how much will happen by the 30th?

                As a result, by the 30th, the choice is to get either a small ersatz UDC in less than 20k, or normal for 30k. It is better to choose the latter.

    Still, the terminology is very important. Because there is meaning behind it.
    That’s what UDC is going to grind on the Gulf. With a tank deck, with a docking chamber. And where are we going to land tanks with boats? To Libya (i.e. where are some riots)? Nafig do not need such happiness. To Syria (i.e. to an ally)? Here we need transports.
    We need clean helicopter carriers. Without a tank deck and dock chamber. First of all, for PLO. But also to support that NK, that it can be used for landing.
    And for the landing of the BDK and MDK. And it would be nice to place on them an analogue of the Smerch MLRS with cluster and thermobaric warheads.

      Definitely, however, is not so simple ....
      Moreover, helicopter carriers have the ability to find the location of submarines using air support. However, the rapid growth of technology and the emergence of nuclear submarines made the latter characteristic of helicopter carriers less important since nuclear submarines have torpedoes with a longer range of destruction and the depth of the submarine.

      I support. "Landing helicopter carrier", with a landing in the amount of NOT MORE than a battalion, necessarily with attack helicopters capable of operating along the coast - these are the maximum. Plus 2-3 PLO turntables. For tanks, self-propelled guns and BMPTs - definitely separate transports. The moral is that without attack helicopters the paratroopers don't need "tanks", they themselves need to be covered from the air.

    And if, as the author writes, he still decided to write
    The article turned out to be devoted to landing ships in general.
    then you could write about the American amphibious transport-docks like "San Antonio" ...
    He could also write about the British UDC Ocean (Queen Elizabeth II herself is considered the godmother of the helicopter carrier (in England there is a tradition to baptize ships before they enter service)) .....
    There were a lot of articles on VO in past years, there is something to analyze in modern conditions
    In general, we can arbitrarily distinguish three main subgroups of modern large landing shipshaving export prospects:
    - universal landing ships full displacement from 16 to 000 tons with advanced aviation capabilities;
    - multifunctional landing helicopter docks (DVKD) full displacement from 9000 to 20 tons, focused on solving the maximum possible number of tasks;
    - "Cheap" landing docks (DTD) и small landing helicopter docks full displacement from 6000 to 13 tons, focused mainly on solving airborne transport problems.

    Over the past twenty years, the Zaliv factory has been a XNUMX% export-oriented enterprise, supplying its products to leading Western European customers, which confirmed its technical potential and the availability of highly qualified specialists.
    During this period, the range of orders under construction was significantly expanded, the production of offshore vessels, container ships, drilling platforms for oil and gas production was mastered.
    In total, from 1999 to 2014, the plant produced 51 vessels (vessels for servicing and supplying offshore oil and gas platforms, dry cargo vessels and container ships), a floating dock, gas production platform and sections of chemical tankers with a total deadweight of more than 380 thousand tons; over the same period more than 100 ships were repaired (mainly bulk carriers)
