The US press calls the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" "an old Soviet asset", but calls on "to take into account its equipping with the latest weapons."

American experts continue to assess Russian military power. At the same time, the same persons can issue statements that are diametrically opposite in meaning. It is said that Russia poses the greatest threat to the United States in military terms, it is said that the military potential of Moscow is based on "old Soviet weapons."

Opinions about the "old Soviet weapons" are held, for example, in the Popular Mechanics, which presents reflections on the state of the Russian Naval fleet.

The American author writes that Russia currently has only one aircraft carrier in the Navy, but that one has already been under repair for a year. The article, and once again in a relatively short period of time, indicates that "Admiral Kuznetsov" "clearly needs to be replaced, but Russia has neither the funds nor the industrial capacity to create a new aircraft carrier."

The aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" has been called "an old Soviet asset that brings a lot of problems to the Russian Navy."

The author recalls that the aircraft carrier should return to performing tasks as part of the Russian Navy in 2022 - after major repairs and related incidents, including the incident with the flooding of a floating dock.
At the same time, the US press writes that after the modernization "Admiral Kuznetsov" can go to sea with the latest weapons, including hypersonic missiles. It is pointed out that the United States needs to "take this into account and respond to it."

As you can see, the analytics of American observers is confusing - either “Russia has no funds for modernization,” then “it will go out to sea with a hypersonic weapons". And this is against the background of the fact that the United States, for obvious reasons, does not know what weapons the Russian aircraft carrier will receive after overhaul and modernization.

It should be noted that the United States itself cannot decide on the future of its aircraft carriers. After Joe Biden came to the White House, US Navy admirals began to declare the need to increase the number of aircraft carriers in the fleet. The minimum number of 11 aircraft carriers, prescribed in the US military law, does not suit the American admirals.

The aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" has been called "an old Soviet asset that brings a lot of problems to the Russian Navy."

So what, what's the old one?
It begs about the old horse and the furrow.
But really Kuzya ... after all, he was never a masterpiece of aircraft manufacturing ...

[Lech from Android.]

It would be necessary to cross it.
Painfully unlucky ship ... then it loses its fighters, then the crane falls on it, then the repair floating dock for its repair goes to the bottom ... it is not by chance that all this.

Yes, even priests ... if only Kuzya lived and worked as it should, and not freak out with incidents.

I can call it whatever you like! Even an old toad !! But if it is useful to our country, it means it poses a threat to the United States and their pack of "tobacco" All this pack of Britons and svidoukrov with the Poles.

Especially as part of one of the most powerful formations in the world - the Northern Fleet, plus the Arctic group and the icebreaker fleet, including nuclear-powered ships.

[TermNachTer]

Is de Gaulle a masterpiece?))) Or the British Invincible?))) An aircraft carrier is an instrument, at that time it corresponded to what it was built for.

In terms of armament, the unique, supersonic and powerful (including SBCH) Granit cruise missiles, plus equipping air defense / anti-aircraft defense capabilities,

Kuzya ... still has never been a masterpiece

then this ship is really a MASTERPIECE. How these huge anti-ship missiles were placed in the PU under the flight deck is a masterpiece. The very combination of such striking, missile power with an air wing is a masterpiece. There were no missiles like Granites, and neither the Americans, nor anyone else in the world. And the Americans run from the northern latitudes, like a snowball begins to fly, also with a certain excitement and precipitation, the Americans have a non-flying weather. Yes, and Kuznetsov at such a moment is not flying, but without the use of an air wing, he remains combat-ready, with his strike and anti-submarine weapons.

Obsolescence sounds interesting from the lips of those who recently wrote off the battleships of 1942. Yes, and they were taken to the reserve when the Union collapsed and stupidly fell under the reduction and optimization, they say the Cold War is successfully over. I'm talking about Iowa-class battleships, including Iowa itself, Missouri, New Jersey and Wisconsin. Nothing, Tomahawks with Harpoons installed and quite themselves were powerful strike ships. served half a hundred years and the USSR did not collapse, they would still go. Although kept in reserve almost until the 21st century and converted into floating museums. And here only the same age as the Russian Federation. VPU will accept both strategic and not only, Caliber, the most powerful Onyx and Zircon. With anti-aircraft and anti-submarine weapons, it is relevant even without an air wing. All we have is a full-fledged cruiser, and not just a floating airfield.

But at the same time, they did not torn apart, as, say, USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier-museum in Manhattan, and the main mechanisms were mothballed. And the spare barrels of the main caliber were not handed over to scrap metal. So if it is really necessary, in theory they can be put back into operation.

Well, if the observers are like that, then it's not surprising!

[Starover_Z]

the US press writes that after the modernization "Admiral Kuznetsov" can go to sea with the latest weapons, including hypersonic missiles. It is pointed out that the United States needs to "take this into account and respond to it."

Since they are afraid of one Kuzya, they should include aircraft-carrying ships in the Arms Treaty and equalize their number "one to one."

[From Tomsk]

It is inconvenient to poke the Americans with their faces, but theirs "Dwight Eisenhower", 15 years old "Kuzi" .... and he is the pride of the pindoflot)))

[novel66]

catapult, planes with full load take off. AWACS aircraft are present ... much better ... and ... yes, he's at sea

[taiga2018]

As the Taliban have shown, if the Americans have at least 11 aircraft carriers, at least 111, they can be beaten and defeated ...

[novel66]

on land - no question. where there is no direct support from the sea

[mojohed2012]

You can beat and win, but asashay is such a country that it still climbs wherever it is not asked for.

[Adimius38]

In fact, Kuzya was never an aircraft carrier, but was a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser with strike weapons that American aircraft carriers never dreamed of, if you do not save money on modernization, Kuzya will be a very formidable platform equipped with advanced strike missile weapons and besides everything also have an air wing on board.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Here, too, we cannot decide on "Kuznetsov ..." How to count him, what is his place in the doctrine ...
And even more so from across the ocean!

[mojohed2012]

Yes, it is necessary to the Pacific Ocean. There is space, there is the United States at hand and Japan.

Really believe in the Russian hypersonic?

[lis-ik]

Well, it’s true, it is on the Soviet models that the army of the Russian Federation is held, nothing fundamentally new has been created.

[Barberry25]

Interestingly .. and the missile system is still reanimated .. or will it end with the repair of the power plant?
