In Britain, they called the condition under which the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth could turn "into an easy target for the enemy"

51

Recently it became known that the British aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08) begins training with fifth-generation fighters F-35B. A British Navy aircraft carrier left Portsmouth.

The British aircraft carrier will conduct training with fighters assigned to the 211st Squadron of the US Marine Corps. The squadron is based in Arizona, at Yuma Airfield. They will be used for training, which are called GroupEx.



Squadron spokesman Lieutenant Zaicheri Bodner:

GroupEx will allow you to establish the compatibility of aircraft with an aircraft carrier at this stage. In turn, this will help eliminate possible risks in the interaction between the British Navy and the fighters of the US Marine Corps.

Bodner said the long flight required "tremendous skill from both the pilots and the technical staff."

Meanwhile, in Britain, experts note that the British aircraft carrier fleet is actually becoming more dependent on the American fighter aviation... Any training for the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth must be coordinated with the Pentagon for the use of modern US ILC fighters.

It was noted that this could lead to "increased risks when performing a task at sea." It is stated, for example, that "the enemy is capable of interfering with the flight of fighters from the United States, which will force them either to change course, or" even put their joint training with the British aircraft carrier at risk. " In addition, it is indicated that if an aircraft carrier moves to the shores of the United States without a fighter wing (for training using American F-35Bs off the coast of the United States), then it will need several cover ships at once. This is an important condition, otherwise it will turn into an “easy target for the enemy”.

          Yes, the planes have been purchased, and they are still being mastered by the flight crew, but how many of them arrived in England? Somewhere 16-18 pieces,. And for each aircraft carrier you need 24, well, yes, this number is planned for each AB for the duration of hostilities. In peacetime, only 12. This means that one AV group will be in full force. The same amount should be received by 2022. So I say that while the aircraft carrier has not been manned to a regular state with aviation.

            You're right. The F-35B is in high demand. Orders for all types of F-35 are scheduled for 7 years
            forward. And with the popular vertical bars "B" they complete or assemble
            completing their light aircraft carriers in Japan, South Korea, England, Italy, Spain.
            Thinks Singapore and others.
            There are not enough planes. Given that Italy and Japan will add from their own
            factories, plus the main American.

          Not certainly in that way. Former dominions, Canada and Australia are quite toothy countries with military budgets of over $ 20 billion a year. Although nothing threatens them, tk. do not border either China or Russia, but they have very large ambitions, for example, in controlling waters far from their territorial waters.

            You mean the Commonwealth of Nations (or British Commonwealth). It's really
            serious military and economic strength.
            But this support for Britain by former colonies
            or dominions - voluntary. Britain can ask for help
            but cannot claim it.
            But in fact, in the event of a crisis, Britain can quickly mobilize large
            military, economic, raw materials, financial resources from
            Canada, Australia, New Zealand. And even India, which,
            oddly enough, it also includes.
            It is even more interesting that the British Commonwealth is asking
            new countries. belay Rwanda was admitted in 2009.
            But a number of African countries have left the Commonwealth.

          Just. Covering SSBNs from above, scare off Poseidons, as well as NK escorts. No wonder in Soviet times there was a grouping of ships in the Mediterranean Sea. Its task is to hold out for 40-50 minutes, but ICBMs must be fired. It includes aircraft-carrying cruisers pr 1123 of the Kiev type. It was believed that they live for about 40 minutes.

            They are frightened off by other means from the shore: interceptor fighters, which fly into the deployment area in advance, and the S-400 air defense system, the range of which is 400 km. In order to destroy the submarine from above with an anti-submarine aircraft, this aircraft must enter the air defense zone. These measures are enough for a strategic submarine missile carrier to leave the base.

                  Khmeimim is not rubber. Even when there were 50 boards, she was already suffocating. And around KSA, KUWAIT, Oman, UAE, Turkey, i.e. dozens of bases and allies. Turkey has 200+ aircraft, KSA has more than 70 Typhoons and the same number of F-15 SAs, in the most modern configuration. Israel has 300+ aircraft and the most trained Air Force in the world. Question for connoisseurs: How long will Khmeimim last?
                  Of course, if torpedoes, then necessarily nuclear

                  We have just begun to receive torpedoes comparable to the Mk48 arr 80gg. The United States builds more Virginias per year than our old diesel-electric submarines 636,6.
                  All routes of our 955A and 667 BRDM access to the DB (today there are about 5 aircraft in the Pacific Fleet) are known. They will be opposed by 20+ diesel-electric submarines of the MSS Japan, and the Korean Navy, plus 30-40 submarines of the US Navy. This is optimistic. Really more.
                  Therefore, first, release the DB route, then cover it from the Orions and Poseidons (which are exactly covered by the aviation of Japan and Korea, together with the US Air Force) and withdraw the SSBN. If they are not destroyed at the bases.

                    And this whole armada, of course, will simultaneously attack the Russian bases in Syria, having previously reconciled and agreed with each other. Losing several dozen aircraft due to the S-400 and Russian interceptors is worth it and is acceptable damage. For what? Probably in order to take over Syria by driving out the Russians. But how to divide it among themselves? It will equally fail because of the United States. In general, the further I develop your thought, the funnier it becomes to me.

                    Khmeimim may not hold out, but enemy airfields will be destroyed along with our base. It is foolish to expect that such an attack will not remain without a counter-strike. Russia will pull up bombers with long-range missiles ...
                    All routes of our 955A and 667 BRDM access to the database are known.
                    Stop making me laugh! To withdraw the strategists from the bases, appropriate anti-submarine monitoring activities are being carried out, and far from the coast, the submarines disappear. Finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack.
                    They will be opposed by 20+ diesel-electric submarines of the MSS Japan, and the Korean Navy, plus 30-40 submarines of the US Navy.
                    The enemy will not let all his submarine forces in one direction, exposing others. And the combat readiness of enemy submarines is clearly not 100%. I will once again hint to you: Japan and / or Korea will not go to war against Russia alone. Only together with the USA. And if the United States attacks, it will receive a nuclear strike in return. In all other cases, the Russian Federation can cope without nuclear weapons.

                  Albatrosses? So they have been crying for a long time - they have been out for 30-35 years.
                  And yet there are no new IPCs even in the draft.

                  7 pieces for two fleets. With the same problem - "Kulakov" can soon be awarded the medal "40 years in the ranks".

                  and of course anti-submarine aircraft.

                  What kind? Upgraded IL-38 with gliders from the time of "dear Leonid Ilyich" and development equipment of the late 90s? Or ... or everything. The Russian Federation has no other basic machines for the PLO aircraft.

                    In practice - 8-9 (including repair), which, in addition to providing SSBNs, will have to deal with the enemy's NK. Now we have one SSNS for the entire Pacific Fleet.
                    This is enough to scare away enemy submarines from SSBNs along the route from the base. And then the strategist will disappear, finding him in the sea / ocean is like finding a needle in a haystack.

                    Nevertheless, they are in the ranks and carry out combat missions. They will definitely serve for another 10 years.
                    And yet there are no new IPCs even in the draft.
                    With the advent of Project 22380 in the fleet, new IPCs will not be needed.
                    BOD 1155 7 units for two fleets. With the same problem - "Kulakov" can soon be awarded the medal "40 years in the ranks".
                    Nevertheless, they are in the ranks and effectively carry out combat missions. 10 years will serve for sure. And in the future they will be replaced by frigates 22350 and corvettes 22385. By the way, the oldest US destroyers are also 35-40 years old.
                    Upgraded IL-38 with gliders from the time of "dear Leonid Ilyich" and development equipment of the late 90s? The Russian Federation has no other basic machines for the PLO aircraft.
                    There are enough of them to carry out search activities off the coast of the Russian Federation and withdraw strategic nuclear submarines from bases.

              They are scared off by other means from the shore: interceptor fighters, which fly into the deployment area in advance.

              Uugu ... on duty. To which, in which case, reinforcements from the shore come. Or it is not suitable - if the time of approach of the detected enemy forces at the launch range is shorter, this is the time for the approach of reinforcements. That is, the patrol line cannot be moved further than 350-400 km.

              and the S-400 air defense system, the range of which is 400 km.

              You just forgot to add: "for targets at altitudes of 8 km or more." Because the Earth is round, and nobody canceled the radio horizon.

      The aircraft carrier will turn into an "easy target for the enemy" if it decides to approach the shores of Russia or China. In all other cases, almost nothing threatens him.

      Britain and the United States are essentially one state, what kind of dependence is it not clear? This is the same as Ukraine in the USSR was dependent on Russia.

      Fighting such aircraft carriers and other uber-killers is simple
      the presence of a guaranteed possibility of erasing their points of registration and deployment from the map.
      That is, the aircraft carrier went out to sea, fought ... but there is simply nowhere to return and there is no need.

      Extremely ugly ship negative
      How is it necessary to be so dependent on the United States as to humiliate oneself and in fact place the command of one's own Navy in the hands of a foreign state ?! I am sure the English sailors disgust it.
