"We all laughed well": the West does not believe in the possibility of implementing Russian projects for a new aircraft carrier

The aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov returned to Murmansk for overhaul and modernization in early 2017. However, in October 2018, the only floating drydock capable of keeping the ship afloat sank, damaging the Kuznetsov. In December 2019, a fire broke out on board the cruiser. Since then, it has been moored at the Zvezdochka shipyard, and there has been practically no progress. In this regard, on the pages of the Western edition of Defensionem, the question is posed: is Russia able to finally write off "Admiral Kuznetsov" and replace it with a ship of a different type?

Many concepts

Back in 2015, Project 23000E "Storm" was presented: an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 100 tons for the Russian Navy.

The model was an excellent and serious upgrade compared to Admiral Kuznetsov: electromagnetic catapults, two islands [deck superstructures], a nuclear power plant, a naval version of the Su-57 on the deck ... This aircraft carrier was supposed to have an air wing of more than 80 platforms !

- points out in the press the observer, not believing in the possibility of the implementation of Russian projects of the new aircraft carrier.

We were delighted. Then we remembered that Russia had not designed or built anything larger than a frigate since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and we all had a good laugh.

- notes the journalist.

In 2019, the concept of a more modest LMA (light multipurpose aircraft carrier) with a displacement of 44000 to 60000 tons with a conventional power plant was demonstrated, which made it 4-6 times cheaper than the Storm. It has a single island, a springboard for take-off and is equipped with completely new, Russian-made gas turbines from Saturn, which were developed as a replacement for Ukrainian products.

The project 11430E "Manatee" also featured. The ship has a displacement of 80 tons, a nuclear power plant and uses existing weapons, radar, navigation and communications systems,

No experimenting or gambling with untested technologies [...] However, the truth is that no Russian shipyard has ever participated in the construction of anything commensurate and complex

- indicated in the publication.

Squabbles of admirals

Now there is a new project of a universal naval ship, in fact the aircraft carrier "Varan". Its displacement is about 45 thousand tons, the composition of the air wing includes 24 multipurpose aircraft, 6 helicopters and up to 20 UAVs.

However, everything depends on the issue of financing.

Some admirals want the [new] aircraft carrier to replace Admiral Kuznetsov in order to maintain prestige, aviation and the ability to project power, while others [military] believe that money could be spent on more pressing needs

- the conclusion is made in Defensionem.

[krot]

in the West they do not believe in the possibility of implementing Russian projects of a new aircraft carrier

In my opinion there is evidence of taking "weakly") Aircraft carriers are battleships of the 21st century. They are already outdated! And the cost is insane that the ship, that its content .. It is cheaper to send a hypersonic missile to fight such a NATO ship. We do not print dollars so that we can afford unnecessary expenses.

[Simon schempp]

They are already outdated!

It's just nonsense that is not supported by anything.

It's cheaper to send a hypersonic missile to fight such a NATO ship

According to this logic, any ships are obsolete. After all, why do we need a fleet when the enemy has missiles that have no analogues in the world?

[210ox]

Okay, battleships of our century. Why then modernize "Petra" and "Nakhimov". A huge target, perfectly visible in all ranges. After all, the same "Zircons" can be placed on less expensive ships.

[hydrox]

So after all, no one has ever undertaken to prove the meaning and purpose of the content of the Eagles in today's time and in the defensive doctrine (we will not pull another one for finance).
US nuclear submarines will line up for the right to thrust a torpedo into the bochin ...
But all this is superfluous: these ships will devastate the naval treasury with their only maintenance afloat.

[bayard]

Are you proposing to abandon the Fleet as such, leaving only minesweepers?
The cost of such an aircraft carrier (45 - 000 tons) will be included in the cost of two Yasen-M nuclear submarines. And we need such AB for the combat stability of the covering forces for our nuclear submarines in the "bastions", and not for "force projection." And such ships need about 50 pieces. - 000 units for Pacific Fleet and Northern Fleet. This is not at all ruinous and will equal the cost of the entire Yasen-M program.
Without the cost of the wing and basic infrastructure, of course.
Now a huge part of the naval budget is consumed by the programs for the construction of two types of nuclear submarines. And these programs are ending - most likely there will be no new bookmarks in the near future.
The new program for the construction of a submarine smaller than the Yasen VI will require less money. Therefore, a simple redistribution of the costs of the naval budget, while maintaining its size, will make it possible to build a series of AV medium VI (6 pcs.) At two shipyards simultaneously in 15 - 17 years. Without increasing the budget as a whole.

[hydrox]

Empires always needed a fleet when they waged wars of conquest or defended colonies from enemy conquests - this also applies to RI.
At the same time, there was nothing more shameful than the defeat of the fleets of empires at the time of their weakness and when the fleet did not meet the requirements of the time (Tsushima - when the battleships were sunk by cruisers).
Are you eager to bring our fleet to Tsushima?
And our nuclear submarines are only means of intimidation and carrying nuclear weapons ...

[bayard]

Quote: hydrox

Are you eager to bring our fleet to Tsushima?

Take a closer look at my text. We need such (medium VI) aircraft carriers not for expansion, but for the combat stability of the detachment of forces covering the "bastions" - the combat deployment zone of submarine missile carriers.
The main threat to the submarine is the submarine aviation, which is difficult to prevent from entering the "bastion" by only surface ships of conventional classes ... And the basic aviation will not be able to organize a constant air watch in the zones of combat deployment of SSBNs. Carrier-based aviation is another matter - it is always in place, fighters take off on alarm and provide isolation of the area from enemy submarines.
The second, no less important threat to SSBNs is the enemy's MPS. It is the support of the PLO that the surface ships of the cover squad are engaged in.
But it is difficult to do this without aviation.
PLO helicopters on conventional surface ships ... not enough.
But on AB they can be up to 12 pieces. - as on the Soviet "Krechet", which can organize continuous shift duty during the entire threatened period. Of course, along with the helicopters of other ships of the squad of surface forces.
And for better control of the air situation, including at low and extremely low altitudes, deck-based AWACS aircraft will be used. Without them, full control of the air situation in the combat deployment area is impossible.
All this can be provided only by AB, and the AV of the average VI will be quite sufficient and, moreover, optimal.

However, to strengthen the combat stability of the expeditionary forces, such ships can also be used, but not so much as shock ones, but as AB air defense.

[hydrox]

Oh well ...
The combat deployment zone of our nuclear submarines (SSBNs) is the Gulf of Mexico, both American and Canadian coasts, there are simply not enough boats for more.
But what the hell did our battleships forget there with their chufykalki Calibers?

[bayard]

Sit down - two.
Our SSBNs have long had sufficient range to confidently engage targets in the United States, even from their own bases.
And their (SSBN) ancestors went to the Gulf of Mexico (last time) in 1988 - 89, if memory has not changed. And these were very old submarines with missiles with a range of no more than 2000 km.
Our bastions come to us in the Barents and Okhotsk Seas - under the cover of our fleet and base aviation.

[Uncle lee]

Russia did not design or build anything larger than a frigate

And where is the publicized Zvezda plant ??? Where, where - in the star ...

"We all had a good laugh"

I would like to believe that the one who laughs last laughs well!

[210ox]

I understand that this is a commercial project and has nothing to do with the Navy. I would like to hope that it has not yet.

[Alex777]

I understand that this is a commercial project and has nothing to do with the Navy.

It has. But so far this is not advertised. For obvious reasons.

[Uncle lee]

In the Soviet Union, all shipyards built ships and other steamers ... And the Star is sharpened for tankers, drilling rigs, gas carriers and suppliers and assembles everything from ready-made sections ... What kind of construction of ships for the Navy is there!

[bayard]

For the next 5 years, there is no hope for the "Zvezda" - the shipyard will be established, reaching the design capacity and corny being completed.
Another superyard is being built - Kola, roughly equal in capabilities to Zvezda, but it is still several years away from launch.
There is also the Kerch "Zaliv", where it is also possible to organize the construction of aircraft carriers, but in the coming years it is busy with the construction of two UDCs.
In total, it will be possible to seriously talk about the resumption of the construction of aircraft carriers in Russia not earlier than in 5 years - when the slipways in the "Zaliv" become free and the "Zvezda" acquires the necessary competencies.
This is an expensive and slow business, therefore it requires a good study, defining tasks for these ships, choosing the optimal project, preparing the industry for the supply of power plants, EM catapults, lifts and other integral attributes.
If the Navy, the Ministry of Defense and the highest state authorities decide that such ships are needed, then in 5 years they can start laying them down at two shipyards at once - in Zaliv and Zvezda.
The easiest way to organize their construction would be on the "Zaliv" - for the organization of logistics, climate (important) and unloaded large-scale civil projects.
But this is only if the new "boyars" \ "aristocrats" need such a fleet.

[Uncle lee]

Quote: bayard

if the new "boyars" \ "aristocrats" need such a fleet.

This is the main question ... And financing.

[bayard]

Quote: Uncle Lee

... And funding

If the "boyars" decide what is needed, the matter will not get up to funding.
The industry has estimated such an aircraft carrier (45 - 000 on gas turbines) at $ 50 billion. From my bounty I will throw in the unexpected - up to 000 billion dollars.
A total of 6 aircraft carriers (excluding the air wing and basing infrastructure) in 15 - 17 years will cost ... 15 billion dollars.
That is, the construction of six aircraft carriers will cost 1 (one) billion dollars a year!
Total .
Another about 1 billion dollars. the air wing will cost each of them.
And the infrastructure in two fleets.
In total, somewhere else 10 - 12 billion dollars.
Total - 25 - 27 billion dollars. for 15 - 17 years. For SIX aircraft carriers in two fleets with all base and airfield infrastructure and air wings.
But this is the cost of only two (!) New US aircraft carriers without an air wing and other extras. expenses.

Kuznetsov is being repaired, not abandoned, as they say here, everything is going according to plan - the sunken dock and the fire have made their own adjustments, postponing the planned return to service for 2022, but no more - he will still serve Russia, and sharpen the fringes, do not roll bags!

[Vadim_888]

Take into account the age of the ship, corrosion around the welds has not been canceled, the problem has been solved by the aerofinishers? Are the aircraft for the aircraft carrier underway?
It is more logical to build a new one with a nuclear plant and a catapult instead of a springboard

[Aerodrome]

so far, the sad statement of the fact that Russia will not have aircraft carriers and destroyers, in the foreseeable future, for objective reasons, is not a wild "Wishlist", a wild lack of funding for the fleet, a wild shortage of personnel, then over the years, a loss of competencies, and ala-ulyu - we are the "coast guard" .. - this is our fleet. just do not start about "submarines that no one sees" .. they see ... even how many potatoes they loaded. in fact: there is no Baltic for us, the North and the Quiet remain, everything is under our supervision. where are we all good then?

The military leadership is still unable to decide whether we need an aircraft carrier and why. Just to be, because others have? Correctly written:

Some admirals want the [new] aircraft carrier to replace Admiral Kuznetsov to maintain prestige ...

It is possible and necessary to maintain the prestige, only for this you need to have PRESTIGE and the means to maintain it, and today let the boh pants support, and not restore prestige

[Kalmar]

Quote: Theodore

And what for is he to us !?

Yes, this seems to have been dealt with more than once. In short: in our time, fighting without air support is a bad idea (especially if the enemy has such support). And an aircraft carrier is, in fact, the only way to provide such support in the absence of friendly airfields nearby.

It is another matter that such projects at the current stage are too tough for us, and out of place: the fleet has a huge mass of much more pressing problems that require a prompt solution.

[Vladimir1155]

Quote: Kalmar

why fight so far away? where there are neither friends nor their own shores, what have we lost there? and if the adversary is so far away, we will get him with wounds, and not lose our people there

[Kalmar]

Quote: vladimir1155

why fight so far away?

In one of the articles of the VO, it was calculated that this "so far" is not so far: coastal aviation can cover the fleet at a distance of about 300 km. Those. already in the far sea zone, it will not help the fleet much. And the interaction between various branches of the armed forces is traditionally not up to par.

Quote: vladimir1155

where there are neither friends nor their own shores, what have we lost there?

This is already a matter of military doctrine. For some reason they climbed into Syria; perhaps we will lose something elsewhere. But a sensible thought: to build AV for the sake of "so it was" is stupid. You need to understand the goals and objectives.

Quote: vladimir1155

and if the adversary is so far away, we will get him with wounds, and not lose our people there

Firstly, the missiles need to be guided somehow, and here the capabilities of aviation in terms of reconnaissance and issuance of control commands will be extremely useful (at times, there are practically no alternatives).
Secondly, the adversary has his own "long arm" in the form of carrier-based aircraft and (in the future) long-range anti-ship missiles; these means must be resisted somehow.

[Vladimir1155]

Which fighter has such a combat radius? And how long will it take for him to overcome these same 3000 km: from the ships that he will rush to defend, by that time some chips will remain. No, I did not lose zeroes, it was just about a couple of hundreds of kilometers.

Those. to the declared 3000 km here, as we can see, is quite far. Plus, it will still fly: 2390 km / h is the maximum speed with full afterburner, which the Su-35 can develop for a short time. Its cruising speed is subsonic.

They can. Rather, they could, when the MRA still existed. Only the problem of air defense does not solve it in any way. If the AUG managed to covertly approach the range of using its aircraft against our ships, the "carcasses" would not have time to rise and destroy it in time, if they wanted to.

Quote: vladimir1155

As well as the fleet in general. And all the armed forces. They do not sow or plow, but they demand a lot of money. Therefore, any project in the military field (ideally) should be carefully calculated and substantiated - including from an economic point of view.

So I thought. But it would be fair to single out these ITs in a separate category (men, women, and genders!) And let them compete with each other. Everyone would have looked at these transformers!

Damn, our Olympic Committee should have come up with a similar initiative so that the Yankees get confused with this problem in an adult way, and not Rodchenko with his insinuations untwisted ...

Russia needs an aircraft carrier. But not for a big war, but for local operations like Syria. And to preserve the competence of Russia in the field of carrier-based aviation. If we have learned something, it cannot be lost. But of course, no "races" in this area can be arranged with anyone. Two relatively small aircraft carriers, one for the Pacific Fleet, the second for the Northern Fleet, no more. And of course no 100000 tons. Maximum - like Kuznetsov.

[Roma 1977]

Given the absence of naval bases around the world, the aircraft carrier will have to be built atomic. Given the absence of short / vertical takeoff aircraft, steam or electromagnetic catapults will have to be arranged - that is, again, they need an atomic source of steam or electricity. Nuclear aircraft carrier with a displacement of 30/40 thousand tons? - Inefficient spending of funds. We start from 80 tonnes and an air wing of 000-60 units, including AWACS aircraft. And you need 80 of these - two for each ocean fleet, so that when repairing one, you always have the other ready. No? Then there is no need to build at all, there are more priority tasks both in the navy and in the armed forces as a whole.

[Pavel73]

Then you get a suitcase without a handle. Kuzya will die sooner or later, and we will no longer have carrier-based aircraft. And four aircraft carriers are too heavy. Izmail, the Soviet Union, Kronstadt, Stalingrad, Ulyanovsk are immediately remembered. Projects that exceeded our capabilities.

Why? And do we need a presence "all over the world"? We just can't afford to be a plug in every barrel (like the USA).

Atomic pr. 1144 felt ashamed of its 25 thousand tons)) Seriously, we now have great difficulties with the production of gas turbines for large ships. But we can do nuclear power plants. They say that pr. 23560 was proposed precisely from these considerations in the atomic version.

Beautiful, but unrealistic in the foreseeable historical perspective. So far, even corvettes and frigates have been built for several years; It will take decades to build an 80 kiloton AB at this rate.

Quote: Roma-1977

No? Then no need to build at all

"The path of a thousand steps begins with the first step": we must start with something if we really want to have AB. Most likely - from something not very ambitious, in order to get a real ship at the exit, and not a project for developing budgets.

[Roma 1977]

I may be wrong, but the unit cost for a ship with a large displacement will be lower than for a ship with a small one. That is, one aircraft carrier for 80 aircraft will cost less in construction and operation than two for 40 aircraft. Plus, the presence of AWACS aircraft is an urgent need for full-fledged combat work, and they will not be able to accommodate on a light aircraft carrier (probably). And just an aircraft carrier, "whatever was" - well, that is.

[Kalmar]

Quote: Roma-1977

Probably yes. But here we run into the harsh realities of domestic shipbuilding: we simply cannot pull a ship of 80 thousand tons of VI (in any case, now). 40 thousand look a little more realistic.

Quote: Roma-1977

Plus, the presence of AWACS aircraft is an urgent need for full-fledged combat work, and they will not be able to accommodate on a light aircraft carrier (probably)

There is neither a horse nor a cart here: we have no AWACS decks. But you can immediately design a light AB in the calculation, if we stop at it. "Hawkeye" may not work, but still much better than nothing at all (like now).

We were delighted. Then we remembered that Russia had not designed or built anything larger than a frigate since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and we all had a good laugh.

Better Zumwalt "cheer" and "laugh"

[donavi49]

But the funny thing is that America Zumwalt chewed and forgot. Just like LCS - the first 4 of which are already being written off, and a queue of vassals lined up behind them, buy inexpensively.
They have Flight IIA TI berks - 9 in the process.

And 14 more newest Flight IIIs in progress

Another 3 Fords are paid for and at work.

Virginki are baked like sausages, even the first Block IV has been passed.

Oregon will pass this year - 20 boat project. You can count how many nuclear-powered ships of all classes are in the Russian Navy.

Therefore, spending 2-3-5 lard dollars on a failed project for them does not mean anything at all.

[three]

Absolutely. Support in 2.2 trillion (!) And they do not care about the national debt at 26, everyone is running from risk in their shares, the market was inflated, the dollar was lowered (to serve the debt) - and well, you can build and spend on anything ... (without irony and sarcasm, something sad somehow, honestly ...)

[Thrifty]

But we have this laugh with tears in our eyes, an attempt to present Kuznetsov to society as ballast for the country's military fleet is stupid and inappropriate! The Kremlin simply MUST go to bed, but modernize the ship as soon as possible, and at the same time qualitatively update it. Otherwise, it is truly a shame for the state, the man said correctly!

MUST go to bed, but upgrade the ship in

The Kremlin should go to bed, sell the palace in Gelendzhik as ownerless and build a couple of aircraft carriers. And from Kuznetsov to make a museum.

Not necessary if you are smart about it. Those. clearly define goals and objectives and design ships for them, and not to "catch up and overtake".

[7,62x54]

No aircraft carrier needed. We will fight America from Alaska, we will establish a crossing over the strait and overland to California.

If Russia sends one of them to the shores of Syria (instead of the "Admiral Kuznetsov" who was carrying out the mission there), would that be correct? If the power of Russia wants to consider the country a sea power worthy of the glory of Peter I, admirals Ushakov, Nakhimov and other brilliant commanders:

[Siberian54]

Hello everyone! The country needs an aircraft carrier (preferably ice-class, sarcasm, or maybe not), especially at the Pacific Fleet, but it will not be in the near to medium term - the state has tuned in to the lunar race and, accordingly, the shipbuilders will be given money for 20 years on a leftover basis. And Wishlist-one hundred thousand with full escort in the east completely and completely closed the topic of islands

[Dmitry V.]

No money for an aircraft carrier
The "Kremlin prisoner" hardly scrapes up the palaces ... and then the sailors with their Wishlist!

[Andrew 40]

With this power, any aircraft carrier or a sufficient number of the latest aircraft and tanks will be dear to us. "No money, but you hold on." Although, reading the news, we sell more of the same gas and oil than in the Soviet Union. Apart from the uncontrolled export of other resources of the country. Apart from the constant rise in the price of gasoline. Only the palaces of the "supposedly" chosen ones and the growth of capital outflow to offshore companies are growing. Hence the conclusion, until we add "2 + 2", we will consider what is necessary for the country through a pocket of holes.

A beautiful dear target! Everyone hand over the grandmothers for the curtains in the classroom! And we need it! Two 31miga-will deal with any trough! No offense to the Moremans!

[A_Lex]

Some admirals want the [new] aircraft carrier to replace Admiral Kuznetsov to maintain prestige, naval aviation and the ability to project power.

No. The goal can be strictly one. Either prestige, i.e. banal show-off, or real projection of power. Since in the Russian Federation primary attention is paid to show-offs, this means that some aircraft-carrying ship will of course be built. Moreover, one that purely outwardly will look formidable and powerful. But at the same time, the real ability to project force for such a ship will be an optional option. The most important thing is that it looks beautiful at parades and that it was possible to shoot spectacular documentaries about how regular aircraft land on a ship in the endless ocean.

[stepet]

"We all laughed well": the West does not believe in the possibility of implementing Russian projects for a new aircraft carrier

And they’re doing it right.
Russia cannot pull this project.
And she doesn't need an aircraft carrier.
There is nowhere to apply.

[Ivan Polozhy]

New developments and calculations of aircraft carriers are needed, at least to maintain the skill of the designers. Build or not? Of course not. Long-term construction for ... - eleven years and a shame.

[Ruvzh]

Military spending is a derivative of the economic power of the state. The more powerful the economy, the more funding can be allocated for defense needs without forcing people to tighten their belts and take off their last shirts .. Conclusion: we need to deal with the economy, take measures to stimulate the growth of production and domestic consumption, develop exports and make Russian goods competitive abroad. That is, budget revenues over 10 years should multiply, not increasing the burden of taxpayers, but increasing their number - large and small enterprises, companies and various LLCs and even individual entrepreneurs ... Introduce a tax on capital export from Russia. Economic growth will provide the same financial resources for new weapons in abundance. Sobsno, China has gone exactly this way - and now its military capabilities are already worrying Washington more than Russia's.

[xomaNN]

Just for scribblers and pSak with their opinions, you can put a BOOO BOLT! It is more important that the General Staff of the Navy have real long-term plans for building a balanced fleet. Will there be AV or UDC based on and the strategy will be clear
