It is reported about the preparation for the tests of the cruiser "Admiral Nakhimov"

The cruiser of the "admiral" series of the project 1144M "Admiral Nakhimov", as it became known, this year will be prepared for mooring tests. Reportedly, work is now underway with cables and other electrical equipment, which is part of the routine overhaul of the warship commissioned in 1988.

Mooring tests should be carried out at the berth, which is part of the Sevmash structure. After their completion, the cruiser will already enter full-fledged sea trials, which will be performed by its crew, which is currently undergoing training and certification activities.

It should be recalled that the ship was decommissioned fleet just 9 years after the start of its operation - in 1997. 16 years later, in 2013, contract documents were signed for its repair and modernization. That is, the overhaul and modernization of a warship in time is already comparable to the period of its operation in the USSR Navy and subsequently the Russian Navy.

Among the modernization procedures - equipping the cruiser "Admiral Nakhimov" with the latest weapons. As a result, the ship receives universal launchers that can be used for various missile weapons, including the hypersonic anti-ship winged Zircons.

It was originally planned that the modernization of the warship should be completed in 2020. However, a number of factors, including the pandemic, have made adjustments to the process. I would like to hope that the new schedule for testing and returning the ship to combat formation will be maintained in full.

You shouldn't be like that. In a ship of large displacement, much more can be crammed with weapons. As shock, as anti-submarine and anti-ship, and anti-aircraft and radio-technical. And the number and characteristics abruptly. Plus other nishtyaki in the form of autonomy, survivability and comfort

The cruiser is undoubtedly powerful, consider it free to provide air defense, missile defense on distant approaches to an entire naval compound. The rest of the tasks can be distributed among corvettes, frigates and submarines. If such a compound enters the Mediterranean, all NATO will nervously smoke at the berths of their bases.

And how will corvettes and frigates feel in a storm in the Bay of Biscay?
The combat value of the compound in such a situation tends towards the state of the weakest.

And yes, Middle-earth is also shot through from all sides, if you understand the location of the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, Crete, Cyprus, Balearic Islands, Malta, etc.

And the large size imposes problems of radio signature.

This means that there will be at least three times more of these missiles on the cruiser! Not 20 Granite rockets, but under a hundred Zircons and Calibers.

[Xnumx vis]

And ten karakurt is faster than 3 frigates of project 22350m

[PROXOR]

Write nonsense. Karakurt are pennants of the near sea zone, while the project 1144 and 22350m far. The only thing in which 1144 will be better than 3x 22350m is air defense, since 1144 carries the S-300F to the bot. The rest of 22350m is much more versatile than 1144. He can be both an anti-submarine gunner and against surface targets and ground targets. First, the fleets must be filled with frigates. And only then think about the destroyer of the Leader project. The leader will be the legal successor of the 1144 project. It is so large that it will most likely be equipped with YSU. But this is a perspective. In the meantime, our situation with the surface lovefleet is so catastrophic that we have to modernize the BOD 1155. Yes, and modernize it. Instead of calibers, onyxes, zircons, it is planned to install two PCs with X-35 subsonic missiles.

[Machito]

The Soviet Union actually challenged the US naval dominance. And now the expediency of such a cruiser is not at all obvious. You cannot send him on a long voyage alone, only as part of the KUG. And for the formation of this KUG, it will be necessary to send almost half of the surface ships and a couple of nuclear attack submarines, which are needed to cover the SSBN, to the distant sea zone. Well, for reconnaissance and target designation, he needs Kuzya in working order and with a combat-ready air wing, and Kuzya hovered at the pier for an indefinite period.

Great news!
We can safely say that in this historical segment, Nakhimov is the most powerful surface ship.

(Formally speaking, shock AB for Nakhimov is production, but he himself is production for an air wing, which can also be land-based).

How does Nakhimov know where the AUG is, where to shoot? But the aircraft carrier's aircraft will know. Aviation is a much more flexible tool, and from the heap of the same Harpoons, no one will be good, or the same LRASM. In the case of LRASM, aviation will not even enter the air defense zone of the cruiser.

Nakhimov from the series - one warrior in the field!

Even the Death Star is alone in a field of no war.

It goes without saying ...
AB alone is not capable of fighting by definition. He needs a warrant.
Nakhimov is very sharp on his own, both in attack and in anti-aircraft defense and air defense.
It is possible to carry Ka-31 AWACS on it, well, and a lot of other things in the "network-centric" war Nakhimov (and he was trained in it) may know about where the AUG hangs out.

Or near the Persian Gulf?

And for nuclear weapons, target designation is not necessary? Charges of the megaton class are not used in anti-ship missiles, and all others must be placed within at least a kilometer from the target.

Quote: Victor_B

Where will the AUG hide in the Mediterranean, so as not to "target" it for 1000 km?

First, it is not that small; finding AUG in it is also not an easy task. Secondly, in such areas, the AUG will easily hide in civilian traffic: you will have to pant pretty hard to understand that among hundreds of ships of different sizes it is an aircraft carrier, and not a neutral container ship, to be found and hit.

[Victor_B]

Well, Nakhimov will use not only his onboard target designation means in the modern "network-centric" war.

Quote: Victor_B

What is civilian traffic during the war?

In the sense - what? The economy does not turn off in wartime. Even in war, civilians want to eat, dress, and warm their homes, and the dependence of the modern economy on shipping is very high. The intensity of this traffic will certainly decrease, but far from zero.

Quote: Victor_B

Well, Nakhimov will use not only his onboard target designation means in the modern "network-centric" war.

This is understandable, with onboard means, he will not see anything for 1000 km. But out of the "network-centric" spacecraft in the same Mediterranean Sea, we have only 4 spacecraft of the "Liana" complex, whose capabilities in terms of reconnaissance and (especially) issuance of control commands are far from unlimited.

There is a suspicion that the range of detection of surface targets by the cruiser's own means is still much less than 300 km. Radio horizon and all that.

Radio horizon and all that.

Helicopter AWACS Ka-31.

[Kalmar]

Quote: Victor_B

Helicopter AWACS Ka-31.

The Ka-31 is undoubtedly better than nothing, but it will not physically be able to conduct constant (or simply prolonged) patrols. Not to mention the fact that we have, in principle, 2 such helicopters for all fleets.

[SovAr238A]

the radius of combat patrolling of the Ka-31 from the carrier ship is no more than 110 km.
The maximum target detection range by the Ka-31/35 helicopter is 220 km.
The width of the same middle-ground is 200 km from point to point. Subject to work at an altitude of 3,5 kilometers.
The presence of a helicopter in Mediterranean at such an altitude and such a distance from the cruiser in the event of a combat collision will lead to the instant destruction of the helicopter.

Be honest.
The enemy in the Mediterranean has Total:
- advantage in radar coverage of the entire territory.
- superiority in the number of AWACS aircraft.
- a total advantage in PLO aviation.
- a total advantage in the number of strike aircraft.
- a total advantage in the number of attack and anti-ship missiles.
- a total advantage in air defense systems.
- the interaction of the combat arms, worked out among the NATO structures, outside their territorial affiliation.

The presence of such a ship as "Nakhimov" there - in case of a clash, it gives it no more than 5 minutes of combat.
no matter how powerful and armed it is - just Mediterranean is the complete fiefdom of NATO countries and their African "partners".

And yes, to Mediterranean - he still needs to go.

US ships are not frequent visitors to the northern seas. Over the past 30 years, American aircraft carriers have visited the Arctic twice. In 1991, the USS America CV-66 aircraft carrier arrived here (it was decommissioned in 1996). At the end of October 2018, the USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75 aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman set off to conquer the North from the Norfolk naval base. He took part in NATO maneuvers "United Trident".
However, the Harry Truman could not advance beyond the coast of Norway due to bad weather conditions and soon went to a warmer place - to the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can make a small remark - an aircraft carrier becomes useless in a storm of 5-6 points, since aircraft, its main weapon, are unable to take off and land on the deck. In addition, the "Harry Truman" in the Arctic is trite icy, part of the equipment is out of order.

Nakhimov from the series - one warrior in the field!

I would reformulate in such a way that the AUG is unlikely to be able to drown the Nakhimov at one attempt, and at the same time it is unlikely to survive if it hits a missile salvo: surviving the attack of several dozen Onyxes is not only given to everyone. In other words, even alone "Nakhimov" can perform more or less on an equal footing with the AUG, and then intelligence and competent tactics will decide.

Quote: Victor_B

That is, if Nakhimov is accompanied by the same order as the American AB, it will be something very unusual.

"Oh, if only, oh, if it were not for life, but a song."
Alas, we have not been building destroyers for a long time, with modern nuclear submarines (project 885 (M)), too, so far everything is going pretty tight. Although, even with three or four frigates 22350 as an escort, it would have turned out an ICG that could make the Americans extremely nervous.

It is desirable that "Nakhomov" became part of the AUG with "Admiral Kuznetsov" at its head.

It seems that it is optimal for Russia to have 4 AUGs (2 each in the Federation Council of the Russian Federation and in the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation) to protect the areas of SSBN combat duty, as well as to gradually bludgeon any petty scoundrels (except for the scoundrels who are part of NATO).

In its current state - nothing. Unless it will distract the enemy for a while. A normal AB with a full-fledged air group would greatly help reconnaissance (had it at the disposal of AWACS aircraft) and air defense: fighters can meet enemy aircraft before they reach the launch lines of anti-ship missiles. Well, the enemy "Hokai" would have to stay away, which would prevent the enemy from conducting reconnaissance and organizing an attack.

[Aleksandr1971]

In a direct confrontation with the US AUG, "Nakhimov" and "Kuznetsov" will do nothing. But if their area of ​​combat duty is the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, then, as the previous member of the forum correctly expressed, the enemy's PLO and EW aircraft should be resisted there. That is, against the United States, the function of our AUG will be purely defensive to support SSBNs so that they have time to shoot.

But in the short term, a major war with the United States is not obvious. Therefore, the AUG is useful for projecting the forces of the Russian Navy against relatively weak opponents that appear from time to time here and there.

It should be recalled that the ship was withdrawn from the fleet only 9 years after the start of its operation - in 1997.

9 years is nothing for such a ship, and therefore the withdrawal of an almost new ship from the fleet is a weakening of its defenses, which is a crime.

It was originally planned that the modernization of the warship should be completed in 2020.

Even before the onset of 2020, the date for the completion of the modernization of 2022 appeared everywhere, so the pandemic did not contribute anything. If the modernization is not completed in 2022, then it will be possible to say that the pandemic has made adjustments.

I understand that the press service of SEVMASH hires graduates of the philological faculty of NArFU (teachers of the Russian language and literature), I understand that in Severodvinsk and throughout the Arkhangelsk region since the 60s of the 20th century, the proverb was relevant: go to ped, there is no shame - go to honey, if there is nowhere to go, then go, my friend, to ALTI (Arkhangelsk Forestry Technical Institute) ", but routine maintenance is work and inspections during the operation of equipment that wear a scheduled preventive character. Honestly, repairs, and especially major overhauls, are not routine maintenance. In the morning we were pleased: "Reportedly, work is now underway with cables and other electrical equipment, which is part of the routine overhaul of the warship commissioned in 1988."
"Mooring tests should be carried out at the berth, which is part of the Sevmash structure." As you read this, questions immediately arise. Was it originally planned to drag the ship for testing by the Northern Sea Route to the Pacific Fleet? Or did you think to conduct tests in the Baltic?
"After their completion, the cruiser will already enter full-fledged sea trials, which will be performed by its crew, which is currently undergoing training and certification activities." Will there be representatives of SEVMASH and other counterparty enterprises on the Admiral Nakhimov during the sea trials? Where was the ship's commander sent to study and get certified? In December 2020, he was in Severodvinsk, normally he was in charge of the crew, he met with SEVMASH employees, he visited the headquarters of the White Sea naval base ...
About the terms of repair of ships in the Russian Federation at "VO" have written and discussed many, many times. Sadly enough, the COVID-19 epidemic in May-June and November-December 2020 in Severodvinsk affected many shipbuilders. The epidemic, of course, influenced the delivery time of the cruiser.
A huge request, gentlemen, journalists, please subscribe to the materials.

It was originally planned that the modernization of the warship should be completed in 2020. However, a number of factors, including the pandemic, have made adjustments to the process. I would like to hope that the new schedule for testing and returning the ship to combat formation will be maintained in full.

If we face it, a pandemic is in fact biological warfare, and covid waves are enemy attacks. They are carried out in order to destroy our economy. First of all, the military-industrial complex, but in the end, that would be bent all, all the rebellious people. Then divide the Russian Federation into bantustans of the Vukrainy type ...

Some attacks are very impartial: all of our potential opponents from the covid also got pretty bad.

I would like to see Lazarev at Sevmash too. And of course Peter.
Kirov, apparently, cannot be saved in any way due to problems with the power plant.
Very beautiful and powerful, really ocean ships. Swan song of the Soviet Union shipbuilding.

You can save ANY SHIP IN ANY STATE. This is a matter of desire and financial costs - the Americans in WWII could restore and restore ships in any condition, if this ship somehow got to the base.
As for the topic of the restoration of Lazorev and Kalinin, while reading the articles about the state of the fleet on this site, the thought more and more often comes to me: if you believe the articles from the Military Review, the command of the Russian Navy is occupied by either mournful minds or pests (as an option, agents foreign intelligence services).

twofold news, on the one hand it is good that the rusted and sentenced cruiser was rescued (and I personally was the initiator of this idea), on the other hand, it is clear that he will not have ocean missions, he will be the coastal leader of PLO frigates, on the third hand, the money for repairs was so much that it is unclear whether it was all necessary to start, and as a result Lazarev was ruined by cutting the budgets for the repair of Nakhimov ... and where does the coronavirus come from?

[dgonni]

It's a pity the ship got into timelessness! And it's good that everything went well for him. Things are much worse with Lazarev at the Pacific Fleet. These are epic ships that could last at least 45-50 years. But, unfortunately, they were simply not lucky. I am glad that they are returning to duty!

However, the old wisdom says: "God works in mysterious ways"... and the hero of one famous film said:"a dagger is good for someone who has it and bad for someone who does not have it at the right time ", and therefore, it would be better to have a modernized cruiser, but it would be better if all four !!!

A beautiful ship, you can't argue. But only the expediency of such a displacement with the current technology is in doubt. But nevertheless - the legend is alive and it's nice. Nobody canceled the effect of intimidation from size!

PANDEMIA PANADS USYO ??? Now it will be possible to write off anything under this demia ... and an invasion of aliens from a very distant galaxy is on the way. But I really want this magnificent cruiser from the USSR to develop and go on long trips

I am writing a commentary answer to Igor-Aviator to another article, because I can’t go there. What kind of aircraft "bypassed" the Su-24 in the history of aviation ??? He was catching up with the previously created F111, which, by the way, had already been taken out of service for 20 years, as it was flying off its
