The Varan project and its technologies: groundwork for the future

147

A family of promising ships and vessels from the Nevsky PKB. The system is headed by an aircraft carrier "Varan", on the flanks - universal amphibious ships

Not so long ago, materials about a new development of the Nevsky Design Bureau called "Varan" appeared in the open press. This project proposes the construction of an aircraft carrier with broad capabilities, and in the future, on its basis, it is possible to create a multipurpose unified platform for the creation of ships of other classes. This potential of the Varan project is determined by the use of a number of interesting solutions of one kind or another.

The appearance of "Varana"


According to the published data, to date, "Varan" has passed the stage of creating a preliminary design, and now the preliminary design of individual elements of the ship is being carried out. Plans for the construction of such ships, for obvious reasons, are not yet available.



An aircraft carrier or a universal naval ship (UMK) of the "Varan" type should have a length of approx. 250 m, deck width up to 65 m and displacement of about 45 thousand tons. It is proposed to equip the ship with an angular flight deck to ensure the operation of aircraft. The UMK should have a flat deck without a springboard typical for domestic aircraft carriers. For take-off, catapults are provided, landing should be performed using an aerofinisher.

The ship should receive a gas turbine main power plant, unified in units with modern combat units of the Russian fleet... The maximum speed is estimated at 26 knots.

Aviation the group is proposed to consist of 24 fighter-bombers of the MiG-29K type and 6 helicopters. It is also possible to base up to 20 unmanned aerial vehicles.


Based on the developments in the Varan UMK, a universal amphibious assault ship can be created. It should be 30 m shorter than the aircraft carrier and have a displacement of approx. 30 thousand tons The payload must be placed inside the hull, and seven positions for helicopter take-off and landing can be arranged on the wide and long deck.

Construction approach


At the heart of the preliminary projects of the UMK and UDC is a unified platform, which includes a hull, a power plant and a number of general ship systems. If there is interest on the part of the customer, it can be used as a basis for ships and vessels of other types. In particular, a hospital ship and a support ship for the Arctic zone are proposed.

When forming the appearance of "Varan", the production capabilities of the Russian shipbuilding industry were taken into account. The main dimensions and displacement make it possible to build UMK or other ships on a unified platform at all major domestic factories. A radical modernization of facilities for the organization of production is not required.

The Varan project proposes to use a modular architecture. It is envisaged to manufacture separate sections of the body with all the necessary equipment inside, which must then be joined into a single structure. A similar method can be used in the construction of any ships on a universal platform.


Additional benefits in the course of construction and operation should be provided by the use of a number of ready-made units already mastered by the fleet. UMK "Varan" is proposed to be equipped with engines, other elements of the power plant and general ship systems that have already found application in the fleet.

It is assumed that a modular approach to construction, maximum unification and the launch of serial production will reduce the time and cost of building ships. In this respect, the construction of "Varan" will not fundamentally differ from the construction of other modern ships of the same size and displacement.

Combat capabilities


The proposed UMK in the version of an aircraft carrier can have quite wide combat capabilities, but its potential is limited by the available volumes and displacement. Obviously, the aircraft carrier "Varan" should be inferior to larger ships in all main indicators, but modern technologies make it possible to achieve maximum results.

The projected aircraft carrier can carry up to 24 aircraft and up to 6 helicopters on the flight and hangar decks. There are two onboard lifts for moving equipment. It is also proposed to accommodate a large number of UAVs on board, incl. different classes and types.


UAVs of one kind or another are able to take on part of the work of manned aviation. However, they may have some advantages over airplanes and helicopters. By choosing the right unmanned vehicles, you can organize constant watch in the air with reconnaissance, ensure strikes without risk to people, etc.

In addition, the dimensions and weight of the UAV are of great importance. Modern heavy-duty drones, showing fairly high performance, are more compact and lighter in comparison with full-fledged aircraft. In carrier-based aviation, this factor is of particular importance.

The media mentions the fundamental possibility of creating an aircraft-carrying cruiser, i.e. ship with an air group and missile strike weapons. Hull volumes allow you to fit multiple launchers for modern weapons... Also, the ship should receive air defense missile systems.

Other ships based on the Varan platform should have corresponding features and capabilities. So, in the case of the UDC, a significant part of the internal volume of the hull should be given to the crew and tank deck. In this case, it is possible to remove equipment intended for aircraft or horizontal take-off and landing UAVs. A unified hospital ship does not need to accommodate armored vehicles, but should have areas for accommodating patients and a deck for receiving helicopters. Similar requirements may apply to a transport ship.

Projects and their prospects


It should be noted that "Varan" from the Nevsky PKB is not the only modern development of Russian specialists in the field of the aircraft carrier fleet. Over the past years, other organizations have repeatedly proposed various options for aircraft carriers with different features and capabilities. At the same time, none of such projects has yet received approval and has not been brought to construction. A similar situation was previously observed in the context of universal amphibious assault ships.


Design look of a universal transport and hospital ship

The reasons for this situation are simple and understandable. Despite some interest in this topic, the Ministry of Defense has not yet initiated a full-fledged development and preparation for the construction of a new aircraft carrier. As a result, the proposed projects from different organizations do not yet have real prospects, and their future remains in question.

However, new warship designs such as the Varan are not useless. As part of this project, the Nevskoye Design Bureau is currently working on the technical and technological aspects of the construction of promising ships. The potential and perspectives of the universal platform as a concept and as a specific product need to be explored. You also need to work out various aspects of modular construction. The Russian Navy does not yet have full-size deck UAVs, and this area also needs to be studied and developed.

Thus, the main goal of the current advance projects, incl. "Varana" is the study of new ideas and solutions to create a reserve for the future. Accordingly, when the armed forces decide to develop and build an aircraft carrier, shipbuilders will be ready to start creating a project with all the required features and qualities.

Apparently, the project of the UMK and UDC "Varan" will remain at the level of proposals and partially worked out projects. However, its main result will be the well-studied and ready-to-use concepts of a universal sea platform, an aircraft carrier with a mixed manned and unmanned air group, etc. And already on the basis of these ideas, real projects of ships for various purposes will be developed - after receiving the corresponding orders.

              Yeah, out of anger. The aircraft carrier not only without catapults, but even without a springboard, the deck length is less than 300 m, take-off only for one, displacement suggests that aviation has bombs and fuel only for 1 departure ...

      the current officials are afraid to take risks, and suddenly it will not work. But if someone else, from abroad, offers then money will be found to buy ready-made.

    In my opinion, we are now at the point where such a project can not only be implemented in metal, but also work out (including infrastructure issues) all problem areas in this area in the fleet on it. And the most important thing is the right project. For the first time in a long time, the project from the Nevsky PKB does not irritate me.

        In all likelihood, project UMK and UDC "Varan" will remain at the level of proposals and partially worked out Projects. But the main result will be well researched and ready for implementation concept a universal sea platform, an aircraft carrier with a mixed manned and unmanned air group, etc. And already based on these ideas will be developed real Projects ships for various purposes - after receiving corresponding orders.

          A strategy without ideology (goal-setting) is not possible, so for now ... the president's task of "forming an ideological model of the state" is being fulfilled.
          But in the last few days, the Foreign Ministry began to snap at the enemies, Shoigu stirred - he went to the military-industrial complex enterprises to accelerate the launch of the series and production of products ... In the VTA, he was going to bring the number of IL-76 to 250 units. ... And then Iran also announced its desire to join the Eurasian Union - an almost forgotten and almost ... favorite idea of ​​structuring the geopolitical space of Eurasia ...
          So the smoking-room is still "alive" ...
          And just this project of the medium VI aircraft carrier looks quite acceptable - both in combat capabilities, and in the industry's capabilities for implementation, and in price (including the cost of operation / life cycle).
          But we must first build the already laid UDC in the Kerch Zaliv and understand that we can still build something large. Within a reasonable time frame and for a reasonable price.
          And it would be good to make sure that we have learned how to make marine engines and gearboxes for them.

              Ensuring the combat stability of the Fleet: KUG, a detachment of surface forces in the areas of combat deployment of missile submarines, disperse enemy anti-submarine aircraft with its own wing, provide air defense in the far zone and fight anti-ship missiles and other CDs in its zone of responsibility.
              In the Northern Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, such ships are very much needed, because these functions cannot be performed with the forces of basic aviation ... at least with due speed and efficiency.

                with what note, I am not saying that they are not needed, I am saying what you need to know FOR WHAT

                a simple example you want to split a log and for this you need an ax or a cleaver
                you can buy just a cleaver for 300 rubles, you can buy a branded universal ax with a short handle for 2000-3000 you can buy a long-handled axle 4000-5000 you can buy a very good cleaver for 6000-8000
                the only question is what kind of log you have 10-30 cm, 20-50 cm or knotty under 90 cm
                and only after you figure out what to inject you will go and buy it anyway, either spend extra money or you will not be able to complete the task

                  I do not say that they are not needed, I say that you need to know WHY

                  Well, at least don't say that.
                  The first task is to provide air defense. This is the main task, and for this it is necessary to have AWACS aircraft / helicopters on board.
                  The second task is to provide the ASW with anti-submarine helicopter forces (the number may vary depending on the specific mission to the combat exit / campaign. Accordingly, take on board more aircraft or up to a squadron of ASW helicopters. Such tasks (with an emphasis on ASW) can be performed in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk (cleaning "bastion" from enemy submarines and displacement / destruction thereof) and in the Barents Sea (with similar goals and objectives).
                  The third is the strengthening of the KUG / AUG by carrier-based aviation forces in strike operations with the main emphasis on reconnaissance (including AWACS aircraft / helicopters) and providing air defense of the KUG.

                  Our Fleet will not soon be able and will want to "project force" into the DMZ \ OZ, therefore, in the medium term, the tasks of such AB will be:
                  - providing air defense on distant lines from the sea direction of our naval base and the coast as a whole,
                  - strengthening the anti-submarine forces and the forces of the Fleet, as such, in the adjacent waters,
                  - and only in the third place - representative functions with "flag demonstration" and "force projection".
                  However, when these ABs are built (if they are built), there should already be a sufficient number of surface ships of the corresponding classes in the ranks for escort to the distant and oceanic zones.

                  yes, this is not their task, their task is to solve the political goals of Russia and you think that their task is to shoot missiles

                  Aircraft carriers do not "bullet" missiles. This is a naval aircraft carrier platform with near-zone air defense. AB has no other missiles.
                  As for "political tasks" ... politics is the business of diplomats, and war is the continuation of politics by other methods. The very presence of such (and not only) ships is already a political factor and exerts a certain pressure on reality. And how to use this factor for politicians is up to politicians. And for the Navy and the military leadership as a whole, these are combat units for solving a specific spectrum of tasks.
                  These are the tasks facing the Fleet.
                  Such a tool is needed.
                  Other forces and means do not solve such problems or are poorly solved.
                  The choice is with the political leadership.
                  There are funds for this program and the spreading of their expenditures for 15 years (the approximate time of the program implementation) will make the program completely burdensome for the budget. And it will bring a lot of benefits.

                  I already wrote about the funds above - the Ministry of Finance last year underfunded the economy by TRILLION rubles ... "saved money." This amount is enough for the construction of 6 (six) such aircraft carriers without an air wing and basic infrastructure. To finance the acquisition and create the missing one, you will need about the same amount.
                  FOR 15 - 17 YEARS !!!
                  All other plans for the construction of surface ships DM / OZ, already approved or agreed by the military and political leadership, will make them an escort. During the same time.
                  And do not forget that all the funds spent on the construction of the Fleet will be spent in Russia and, through cooperative chains, will feed the economy with life-giving financial juices. This is essentially an investment in your economy. This will increase GDP and tax revenues. The benefits will be for the economy as a whole.
                  By the way, the USA always got out of crises this way - pumped up the economy through military spending.
                  Stalin acted in exactly the same way, but with much (!) Greater efficiency.
                  Yes, and the Soviet Union was ruined not by military spending, but by the mediocre management of the economy as a whole, by those who later surrendered the country to the enemy. That is, the economic difficulties of the late Soviet Union were artificial and malicious.
                  We won the economic race.

                    THE FIRST AND ONLY task is to promote the interests of Russia, everything else is games
                    it is possible that AUG is more important for promoting interests, and perhaps the work of cruisers on communications or pressure on the psyche through the nuclear submarine
                    As for "political tasks" ... politics is the business of diplomats, and war is the continuation of politics by other methods. The very presence of such (and not only) ships is already a political factor and exerts a certain pressure on reality

                    and politicians and the military must act to achieve the interests of the State
                    you really are not able to paint on why AUG is needed or not needed, but you already claim that you cannot do without them

                    without any smearing on the plate

                        When I was an officer, I was an officer in the combat directorate of an air defense formation as part of the RIC (intelligence information center), but left the service as a young man ... I thought into science ... but then the Union collapsed.
                        And at one time I met with ministers (for a long time), and with deputies, and with generals ...

                        [quote = Vasilenko Vladimir] you have not been able to say what exactly and against whom specifically will AUG be engaged under what conflict YOU are planning them [/ quote]
                        This topic has been around for many years. I wrote about this three and two years ago, and later, there will be several good articles. The topic has been beaten for a long time. after the twists and turns with the ideas of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Storm" and the nuclear-powered destroyer "Leader", how much effort it took to make this whim fall off ... Those plans did not fight with the economy. And with combat use too.
                        It makes no sense to have one or two aircraft carriers - it is not possible to organize a permanent presence in the desired zone. On one theater of operations, you must have at least 3 such ships, based on the calculation: one on duty / on a cruise, one in the base ready to go to sea for several days, and one under repair.
                        There is no other way.
                        It is impossible to organize this on atomic monsters - it is expensive, unjustified, excessive in terms of combat power. because we now need to think not so much about the projection of force, but about the fulfillment of urgent tasks about the defensive lines made in the naval theater of operations (Northern Fleet and Pacific Fleet). Therefore, the idea of ​​an air defense aircraft carrier with a catapult (for launching an AWACS aircraft) of moderate VI was born. Just 45 - 000 tons. On gas turbines. Such an aircraft carrier will be 50 - 000 times cheaper to build and an order of magnitude cheaper in the life cycle than the atomic one hundred thousand-ton "Storm" or "Nimitz". But he will have enough combat capabilities for all possible tasks, having on board up to 5 fighters of the MiG-6K \ KUB or MiG-24K class, two or four AWACS aircraft of the Yak-29 type, and up to 35 PLO helicopters (all together will hardly fit , but by slightly reducing the number of fighters, you can increase the number of PLO helicopters, depending on the combat mission).
                        The main task of the Navy today is to ensure the security of the areas of combat deployment of missile submarines in the so-called. bastions. Covering them from the air from enemy anti-aircraft defense aircraft (which is extremely difficult to accomplish with the forces of basic aviation and limited effective means of air defense of surface ships), which are the main and most terrible enemy of submarines. SSBNs are nuclear deterrent forces, and by definition they cannot be left unprotected.
                        The second task of the surface fleet is ASW in the "bastions", because the enemy's MAPL is there for spawning cod. And this distracts very significant forces.
                        Without this it is impossible.
                        So it is precisely to provide air defense and anti-aircraft defense of combat deployment areas that aircraft carriers are needed, and not heavy atomic monsters, but air defense / anti-aircraft defense aircraft carriers of moderate displacement. This topic has long been calculated and played up, without them enemy aircraft will sink surface ships and SSBNs covered by them in a short time. In addition, the interception of the PK KR with a low-altitude profile is effective ONLY by the forces of fighter aircraft, and at the distant lines and under the guidance of AWACS aircraft (for a surface ship, the KR appears above the horizon at a distance of 15 - 25 km. And if the volley is massive, then the air defense simply cannot cope - not enough time to react). So for effective work you can't do without AV in any way.
                        It is for these purposes that "Admiral Kuznetsov" is valuable, no matter how his critics find fault. We still have no other.
                        The idea of ​​the need for AV medium VI has been pushed for a long time, and I have been writing about this in the comments for far from the first year, the topic is already quite hackneyed. Therefore, when the first rumors about such a project appeared, and now its appearance is known, I will say that this is exactly what our Navy needs.
                        The number of required, I repeat, 6 pieces. - 3 pcs. to the North and Pacific. This is the optimum for organizing constant combat duty.
                        Can such aircraft carriers be used to strengthen the expeditionary forces?
                        And how .
                        And the proposed number of ABs is quite enough for this.
                        About the escort.
                        All critics, saying that there are no escort ships, lose sight of the fact that today only 22350 frigates have been built, laid down and are being completed - 10 pcs. All processes must be viewed in dynamics - in 5 years all these ships will already be in service ... And the aforementioned aircraft carriers, most likely, will only be laid down. Considering that at the present time 2 frigate-class ships are laid down every year, and if this tradition continues, then in 10 years Russia will have a quite powerful fleet. Excluding aircraft carriers. And the first such aircraft carrier will enter service, most likely, not earlier than in 12 years. So this is a long-term perspective - medium and long term.
                        But that's how it should be - the Fleet takes a long time to build.
                        It will take 6 - 15 years to build a series of 17 such ABs at two shipyards at the same time.
                        And this is taking into account that the first bookmark will occur (if it happens) not earlier than in 4 - 5 years.
                        Previously, the industry simply would not be ready.
                        The cost of six such ABs will be about 15-17 billion dollars.
                        No air wing.
                        With an air wing and coastal infrastructure (piers, piers, barracks, warehouses, a boiler room, possibly a power plant for powering off the coast) - about the same.
                        Dividing this amount by 15 - 17 years (the period for the implementation of the program), we get annual expenses for it of about $ 2 billion, or from 100 to 150 billion rubles.
                        And this is not at all ruinous for the budget. In addition, these spending will stimulate industry and the economy as a whole - through cooperative chains.

                        And do not be offended for harsh words, I took you for an ordinary troll.

There are already corvettes, frigates, and even FSB patrol ships were built for the possibility of basing Ansat, but they are not. And the hull can then be riveted in a couple of years, the industry has already mastered it, the current is useless if it hangs around the seas with an empty deck.

              And also to design and test catapults for aircraft, without steam, by the way (the Soviet backlog will not work).

              You can do without steam, and there is a Soviet groundwork in this - for "Ulyanovsk" they designed two types of catapults at once - steam and electromagnetic, for insurance. Both turned out. But they still wanted to put on a steam room.
              But in order for Russia to have aircraft carriers, Russia itself needs to continue its existence. Judging by the latest peacetime events, we have very little left.

    An aircraft carrier or a universal naval ship (UMK) of the "Varan" type should have ... a displacement of about 45 thousand tons. ...

    The ship should receive a gas turbine main power plant, unified in units with modern combat units of the Russian fleet. The maximum speed is estimated at 26 knots.

    The aviation group is proposed to consist of 24 fighter-bombers of the MiG-29K type and 6 helicopters. It is also possible to base up to 20 unmanned aerial vehicles.



    An interesting project, but in my opinion with a relatively small displacement for such an air group. Kuznetsov is 50% larger and can accommodate about 30 aircraft.
    There are also doubts about the turbines. Is Russia currently producing turbines that allow such a ship to reach speeds of up to 26 knots?

        This is the Yankees - they fence the "floating air bases" with a whole air division on board. This is understandable: they are "world gendarmes"!

            ======
            Yuri! Here is another arithmetic! A nuclear submarine with a nuclear reactor is already expensive in itself! And this is only in the building! And in operation - oo-oo-oo-oo! Do not forget - vigorous fuel needs to be produced (and this is expensive), then stored (also not cheap), then stored and disposed of ... Moreover, the reactor must be stored somewhere afterwards (300 years, if not more) ... ..
            Therefore, to (from my point of view, and I at least understand this) there should be as little as possible robberies from nuclear power plants! And only where they are really NECESSARY (several icebreakers and strategic submarines, accompanied by multipurpose nuclear submarines).
            And "rivet" 3 instead of 1 - it will be too ruinous!
            Now about aircraft carriers: we have - 4 (four, Hans!). At least two (SF and Pacific Fleet), aircraft carriers are badly needed! Moreover, they are needed for air cover of naval operations (deployment of SSBNs, amphibious operations, cover for convoys and strike groups aimed at destroying the enemy's AUG). Do you need "supergiants" with an entire air division on board for these purposes? No, they are not needed! The Americans need this for the presence of a "floating air base" anywhere in the world.
            Here is the question: What is BETTER for us: to build 1 (one) "supergiant" (which will turn out to be: "sew a mare's tail"), or for the same money provide at least TWO (or maybe three) fleets with light aircraft carriers, which they do you need "like air" and already "the day before yesterday"?

                But no! And that's why:
                1. Do we have a lot of shipyards capable of building warships with a displacement of 100 thousand tons ("large" aircraft carrier), and even with a nuclear power plant (building such a colossus with a gas turbine or diesel installation is nonsense!)? De facto - only ONE! This is the Baltic plant. Far Eastern "Zvezda" does not count (it is focused on civil shipbuilding and does not have military competencies, and orders there - for years to come). The Kerch "Zaliv" also disappears - the Turks do not allow ships with nuclear power plants through the straits.
                2. A light aircraft carrier is not only smaller than a floating monster, it is also gmuch easier, both in production and in operation. Moreover, the difference may be half an order of magnitude!
                3. One The supercarrier seems to us unnecessarily - we need at least 3. And the military budget obviously will not pull such expenses!
                4. The construction of 3 nuclear supercarriers at the Baltic Shipyard (taking into account our pace) will take 20 years, if not all 30!
                Question: what to do? The answer is 3 light aircraft carriers for a little over one "super" ....
                Somewhere like that!

                  If we are to build aircraft carriers, then at least 12 (if everything goes well, then 8), since this is the minimum number of ABs, which will ensure the constant presence of AB at sea in the areas of responsibility of the Northern Fleet and TF (1 at sea, 5 under repair or in readiness, for the states: the service cycle of AB is 33 months, of which at sea - 6). And without the constant presence of AB at sea, we will also have to build ships that will perform the tasks of AB while it is docked or at the berth.

                      We won't do it. There are two options for using aircraft carriers: as with "Kuzey", when it exists to create hemorrhoids for enemy admirals ("What if they use their aircraft carrier, it is necessary to include means to neutralize it in Fleet 6!") And for solving the daily tasks of the fleet (PLO, Air defense, cover for the deployment of SSBNs).
                      Work on the first option costs less money in total, but much more expensive in terms of exhausting: the project of AV roads, development and creation of an air group, training of crews and pilots, escort ships, even basing.
                      For the second option, AB must be at sea. AB is a complex ship, it spends a lot of time in repairs. In order for AB to be constantly at sea, there must be a lot of these ABs (if KOH is 0.25, then 4 ships, if 0.15, then 6, etc.).

Firstly, it will not "hang over the aircraft carrier", but will fly forward ... And secondly, its task is to warn in time about the approach of enemy aircraft at ultra-low altitudes (in the radar shadow zone), the rest can detect ship radars, and at a distance 500 km and even more!

                  Well, of course, it was imperial ambitions that influenced the size of the new British and planned French and Chinese ABs. Even Ulyanovsk did not escape megalomania. Or, nevertheless, when creating, proceeded from an understanding of the tasks of these ships?
                  It's not about what we can, but what we need. The fact that Karakurt is much easier to manufacture and operate does not negate the need for at least project 22350M.

      An interesting project, but in my opinion with a relatively small displacement for such an air group. Kuznetsov is 50% larger and can accommodate about 30 aircraft.

      In general, it is not clear whether this is a normal displacement (45000 tons) or full, in the process of construction it can grow. And it is not much less - 45 tons versus 000 tons. The take-off deck is shorter, but there are catapults, not a springboard, and the landing deck is definitely not less, if not more than Kuznetsov's. As a concept, it's not bad at all, and you can build the required number without ruining the budget.

      There are also doubts about the turbines. Is Russia currently producing turbines that allow such a ship to reach speeds of up to 26 knots?

      If we take turbopairs M-90FR / FRU for two shafts, we get a power of 110 l / s. This power is quite enough. And if not enough, you can consider a three-shaft scheme, or tie three turbines to one gearbox.

      The Defense Ministry identified the manufacturers of cables for aircraft finishers produced by Proletarsky Zavod PJSC back in 2006 at a special meeting with representatives of the metallurgical industry, dedicated to the repair of the aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov. Then it was decided that the final products would be produced by the Volgametiz enterprise, which is part of the Severstal-metiz group, wire rod for cables would be supplied by the Beloretsk plant (Mechel group), and the Zlatoust metallurgical plant - square billets of 180 mm profile (grade steel "100") .... according to the information on the website "Goszakupki", in January 2016 PJSC "Proletarsky Zavod", which produces aircraft finishers, entered into an agreement with JSC "Redaelli SSM" for the supply of steel rope A-36.5-GL-Zh -L-N-T TU 14-4-1594-89.

      Conventional air defense systems fight them badly - too little time for a reaction. And if you overload the ship's air defense systems in number, then there will be a rout. It is fighters that are best able to fight the CD. Controlled by AWACS aircraft. Because for them there is no "radio horizon" and closing angles.
      And this type of AV medium VI will just be in place. At a cost, it will be 4 - 5 times cheaper than a heavy nuclear one, and it has enough capabilities to provide air defense in the zone / area of ​​combat deployment.

      Yes, you just need to build the Fleet and ships for it, based on the tasks at hand and the available capabilities.
      It is necessary to solve YOUR problems, and not to measure up with ambitions.
      The cost of such a ship will be about $ 2 billion. Divide by the construction time and multiply by the number of ships needed. And you will see that this is not at all a rash idea.
      Because of the losses from the "coronavirus" hysteria, we get much more in a year.
      The Ministry of Finance won, last year UNDEFINED (!!!) the economy (government programs) for (drum roll) TRILLION rubles !!!
      THIS alone is enough for the construction of the entire required fleet of medium aircraft carriers (6 pcs. - 3 pcs. For each) for TWO fleets! For the Pacific Fleet and the Northern Fleet.!
      For ONE year the amount has ALREADY been saved. Yes
      It remains only to dispose of this.
      And in 15 - 17 years to build all 6 AB.
      And in one SUCH year, you can save on air wings and coastal infrastructure for this armada. Yes

          Head, of course, will be more expensive. but the Nevskoye PKB promised to present a medium-sized VI (45 tons) to AV with gas turbines worth 000-1,5 billion dollars a year ago.
          For my part, I put another half billion on unaccounted expenses, that is, $ 2-2,5 billion. And this price quite beats with the assigned price of new UDCs with a displacement of almost the same (36000 - 40000 tons) - 100 billion for two ships. If we take into account that the unit cost of a metric ton for AB will be two times higher than that for UDC (due to more complex saturation), then 100 billion rubles (or even a little more) shows the correctness of the calculated price of "Varana".
          And this is just a very comfortable price.
          For it allows, for the cost of a heavy nuclear aircraft carrier with an air wing, to build all the necessary 6 (SIX) Varan-class aircraft carriers.
          Without air wing and coastal / basic infrastructure.
          The air wing and the entire infrastructure will require about the same amount of money. But since the entire program can be implemented within 15 - 17 years, the costs for one year will not exceed $ 1,5 - 2 billion. USA. Or 100 - 150 billion rubles.
          And this is quite a bit for such a purpose and task.
          And we have the capacity for such construction.

And not a single building has yet been laid. I suggest: the next publication on this topic should be done when there is a bookmark. Well, or at least when the funding is approved. And best of all - after the acceptance tests.
    And then the news is the same (they drew, made a layout, presented), and the comments are the same (a beautiful ship, an interesting idea; they will never build, just words; aircraft carriers are not needed; destroyed the country / fleet).

    "It provides for the manufacture of separate sections of the hull with all the necessary equipment inside, which must then be docked into a single structure. A similar method can be used in the construction of any ships on a universal platform."
    This is more likely not a sectional, but a large-block construction method. Well, that is ... Not the point ...
    "The ship should receive a gas turbine main power plant, unified in units with modern combat units of the Russian fleet. The maximum speed is estimated at 26 knots."
    From this place, I would like in more detail ...

A similar method can be used in the construction of any ships on a universal platform."
    To the beloved modular scheme.
    Is it really assumed that somewhere there will be some ready-made blocks, from which steamers will be sculpted at the request of the customer?!. How do you imagine that?
    The ship is not a Lego constructor. It just won't work.
    "In particular, a hospital ship and a support ship for the Arctic zone are being proposed."
    In particular, even this moment speaks about it.
    Vessels of the Arctic zone have a fierce ice class.
    That is, completely different thicknesses of the outer skin / set. And this is, forgive me, the different cost of materials / qualifications of workers at the SZ. This is a different piece of equipment after all.

            Let's start apparently all the same with the fact that even the section (to hell with it) needs to be made.
            Who, how much and at whose expense will they be made?
            After all, you need to pay money to assemblers, welders for their manufacture. These are only those who directly make it. And, there are still a lot of people preparing and providing all this. Or how?
            This is a section. The finished block must still be assembled.
            Then installers, ERA, insulators, painters, etc. will work there. etc.
            They all need to be paid salary. Or how?
            Then this block must be stored somewhere (until better times).
            Who will do it and where? Who will pay for it?
            And, then suddenly Bam! And the military doctrine has changed!
            And no one needed the block even close.

    Initially, as soon as the project was published, I was skeptical about it. Some kind of "non-aircraft carrier" with the capabilities of an icebreaker (and not the most passable). But now I see the reason for this unusual layout - standardization and unification. As some will remember, we are now developing the northern sea route. The bottom line is that this "universal platform" borrows a lot from the ships built for the northern route. This not only reduces the cost of arbitrariness, but also allows you to quickly establish construction on existing production facilities or those that will appear soon.
    But most importantly, unification will allow, in the event of the outbreak of war, to quickly make / repair new aircraft carriers and UDC using built or unfinished ships of another class of the same series (rescue, cargo or supply). This leads to a position in which our aircraft carrier may still be weaker than the American ship, but the cost of loss, recovery and mobilization allows us to quickly make up for losses and mobilize forces.
