Another 5 kopecks for the discussion about aircraft carriers. AUG or MRA?

1. General impression of the discussion


Recently, an intensive discussion of the need to build aircraft carriers has developed on the VO website. The intensity of the discussion is such that you are afraid that it would not come to hand-to-hand combat. But the opponents say almost the same thing. Supporters say: a great country needs an aircraft carrier. And the money for it, if you look, will be found. Opponents declare: the aircraft carrier would not damage us, but there is no money for it today, and in the foreseeable future it is not visible. And without money there will be no slipway, no workers, no AUG ships. Therefore, it is much more reliable to develop a naval missile-carrying Aviation (MRA), it will cost several times cheaper.

Both groups are well aware of each other's arguments. Consequently, the discussion boils down to questions of belief in a financial miracle "give / not give". Questions of faith do not lend themselves to rational analysis, therefore, instead of technical and economic issues, they begin to discuss globalist ones. For example, already now, it turns out, it is necessary to decide how, if something happens, we will bomb Sudan? One author claims that we cannot do without an aircraft carrier. Another says that there will be enough aviation - we will resume production of Tu-22m3. And from Khmeimim we will throw them with Calibers.

Such decisions are surprising - isn't there a lot of honor for Islamist groups? Waste Caliber on them, renew the long-range fleet and build aircraft carriers? That we have no cooks left who can solve issues without raising so much dust?

The largest volume is occupied by the political agenda - to what extent the influence of Russia should spread, etc. Do we really not have enough "politolukhov" on TV? The military solutions are impressive too. With one dashing throw we capture Svalbard, and from there we strike at the Greenland airbase Thule - and the North Atlantic is ours. Taking a breath, they begin their favorite pastime - develop an exchange of nuclear strikes.



We will have to disappoint such readers: this article does not cover nuclear scenarios. The author adheres to the point of view of A. Einstein: “I don’t know which weapon will be used in the third world war, but in the fourth there will be stones and sticks. " The Supreme Commander explained to us that we, as martyrs, would go to heaven, and they would simply die. Apparently, he knows the old way of winning a nuclear war - no missiles or a fleet are needed. We detonate all the warheads on our territory and immediately find ourselves in paradise, and they will die from nuclear winter and precipitation painfully and for several months.

Having left this brilliant performance, let's return to the boring specifics.

2. What aircraft carrier projects have already been announced? What are the budget requirements?


It is easier to discuss the question: by how much should the requests be reduced in order for the money to be given?

The requests turned out to be extremely varied. 3 projects appear: Varan, Manatee and Storm. Respectively 45, 80 and 100 thousand tons of displacement, carrying 24 + 16 UAVs, 60 and 90 aircraft.

The issue of the number of aircraft carriers has not been resolved either. First, should Kuznetsov be counted off or is it time to write him off? Most are inclined to believe that it resembles a suitcase without a handle. The initial amount for its repair of 60 billion rubles should increase due to the loss of the dock and the fire. However, MO is silent on how much it will increase. It's a pity for money - Kuzya is an obvious unlucky man. And even after repairs, it can only be used against militants or bantustans.

How many new aircraft carriers are needed? Most are in favor of two - for the Pacific Fleet and for the Northern Fleet. We build first one, and then on the same slipway - the second. Some require a third - to replace one of the two for the duration of the repair.

It remains to calculate the cost. Since the Ministry of Defense does not give figures, we will use the estimates of Andrey from Chelyabinsk “On the cost fleetthat Russia needs ”. Apparently, an estimate of 300 billion rubles is given for the medium aircraft carrier Manatee. What are the costs of the dock and infrastructure is unknown. Without serious costs for rebuilding the slipway, only Varan can be built, but its efficiency is also the lowest.

For any version of the aircraft carrier, you will have to build an AWACS aircraft, without which the aircraft carrier is blind. The helicopter AWACS Ka-31 cannot be seriously considered. Its airborne watch time (less than three hours, with longer flight preparation) and low flight speed with a rotating antenna make it too ineffective.

The Yak-44 was conceived in the USSR as a copy of the E2C Hawkeye. The development was not completed, and the prototype was never built. It is unrealistic to resume development - you cannot return those specialists. Who will make the engines is unknown. One cannot count on Motor Sich.

The radar situation is no better. A prototype in the 80s was developed and even installed on the An-71 aircraft. However, since then, 2 generations of radars have already changed on Hokai. The tube transmitter was abandoned. And the antenna, despite a similar appearance to the previous one, has become practically AFAR. The characteristics of detecting sea targets and noise immunity have increased significantly. From the element base used in the Soviet-designed radar, now there is nothing left. Therefore, the development of the radar also needs to start over.

The cost of development work and certification of the Yak-44 will probably be high. It is impossible to give an exact figure. But, taking into account the development of the engine, 100 billion rubles will not be an overestimate. For example, the Superjet cost much more. A batch of 10 Yak-44s will cost, according to Andrey's estimate, another 60 billion. We come to the sad conclusion - the price of each Yak-44 will be almost equal to the price of a corvette. It is undesirable to use the Yak-44 as a ground AWACS. First, it does not measure the elevation angle of the target. Secondly, the 7 ° * 21 ° radar beam width is too large. Because of this, the azimuth measurement error is also large. When tracking a non-maneuvering target, the error will be 0,35–0,5 °, and for a maneuvering target, 0,7–1 °. That is, you learn about the fact of a maneuver 20 seconds after it starts. In addition, the wide beam does not allow detecting small ground targets.

For jammers on the aircraft carrier, apparently, they will use ready-made carriers. For example, the Su-34. Then the cost of the R&D will be reduced to the cost of developing the REP (KREP) complex. Depending on the number of frequency letters, the price of OCD will vary. We will focus on 10-15 billion. The price of a serial producer is 6 billion. Andrey estimated Su-33 fighter-bombers (IB) at 3 billion apiece.

Summarize. Two manatees, together with air wings, but without ammunition and infrastructure, will cost no less than 1,1 trillion rubles. Now let's add the cost of the AUG escort. We do not have destroyers, frigates 22350 are inferior to Arlie Burke, so for AUGs we will have to use 3 frigates (40 billion each) and one torpedo nuclear submarine (40 billion), the price of auxiliary ships is unknown.

Operating costs are the hardest to estimate. In the 90s, the Americans published data that if Nimitz is not standing at the wall, but is actually being exploited, then the cost of AUG is $ 4 billion a year. Manatee is, of course, cheaper than Nimitz. And the maintenance of the crew does not cost us so much. But even if we spend 40 billion rubles on AUG per year, this will also impress the Ministry of Finance.

In GPV 2018–2027, the laying of an aircraft carrier is not provided. It is impossible to predict whether such a line will appear in the future GPV. When the final cost of the project approaches 1,5 trillion rubles, then you start to think that the opponents of the aircraft carriers are beginning to win. But what is their reasoning?

3. General conditions for the operation of naval missile-carrying aviation


The Tu-160m2 construction program is designed until 2035. Therefore, further we will consider the prospects for actions in the maritime theater of operations after this date. Then we assume that the initial conditions are as follows: Russia has no aircraft carriers, Tu-22m3, Tu-95 and Tu-142 have been written off due to their old age. 16 Tu-160s are still flying, but they are already close to the end of their service life. There are 50 TU160m2 and, probably, 10 new A-100 AWACS, and another 10 old A-50s are mothballed and are in reserve.

The fundamental disadvantage of the Tu-160, regardless of its novelty, is its increased visibility (see the article "Tu-160. Is it worth restarting production"). The visibility of the Tu-160 is almost an order of magnitude higher than the visibility of its prototype B-1b and approaches the B-52. Accordingly, he is not able to break through any air defense, including the AUG defense (see "The effectiveness of the air defense of an aircraft carrier strike group. Is a breakthrough possible?"). Its capabilities are the same as those of the B-52 - to bring missiles to a given safe area and launch them at an external control center. Who lobbied for the resumption of aircraft production 50 years after the start of its development? The Americans gave birth to the idea of ​​an airplane with variable wing geometry, and they killed it. Should we continue to cling to it in the 98st century, if XNUMX% of the time we fly subsonic?

If someone in the United States declared that it was necessary to produce B-2035 or B-52b by 1, then they would immediately begin to check for sanity. We, as the hero of "Mimino", it turns out, "cannot eat" if we lack the third component of the triad. How do the French manage to sleep well without the triad? China, with its powerful economy, only started talking about the triad after it had built a full-fledged navy. Kim Jong-un does not even have one full-fledged component, and Trump was more afraid of him than of us. Let psychotherapists answer such questions better, the mind cannot understand Russia. And we finally get down to business.

3.1. What quality of control center can be considered acceptable?


It should not be expected that in 2035, the current level of reconnaissance means available to the Russian Federation will provide a control center of an acceptable level, the launch of an anti-ship missile system on which it will be quite effective. Reducing the weight and size characteristics of the REB equipment will allow the enemy to place it on light UAVs, which will divert the anti-ship missiles to the side.

Passive interference is also improving. The clouds of dipoles are a thing of the past - modern GOS anti-ship missiles can get rid of their influence due to the difference between the speeds of the ship and the dipoles. The ship goes in one direction, and the wind carries the dipoles in the other. If, for example, we take an inflatable balloon with a diameter of 1 m and a length of 3 m, which contains inside corner reflectors made of metallized film, then it will be able to simulate a target with an RCS of up to 1000 sq. m.

If 3-4 such balloons are connected in a bundle (“sausage”) with a step of 10–30 m and the bundle is towed using a UAV at a distance of 400–600 m in front of the ship, the RCS of which is much less than the RCS of the bundle, then the seeker will retarget to the bundle. If there is a second bundle, it is advisable to carry it forward a few kilometers. These bundles can be offered for our corvettes and frigates. For ships "Stealth" the size of the balloons can be reduced by 3 times. You can do without the UAV and tow the bundle behind the ship, but the seeker is easier to recognize towed decoys located behind the ship than in front of it. The simultaneous action of active and passive interference leaves the radar seeker with little chance of choosing the right target.

Unfortunately, some experts do not take into account the interference and believe that for the launch of the anti-ship missile system it is enough that the target during the approach of the anti-ship missile system does not go beyond the search zone of its seeker. The typical width of the search area of ​​the seeker, depending on the RCS of the target, is 10–30 km. If the seeker is allowed to search for a target in such a strip, then it will capture any of the decoys in this strip, as long as the false target imitates a larger one than the EPR ships.

Hence, the conclusion follows - the anti-ship missile system should receive radio correction after turning on the seeker and with an error of no more than 0,5 km. It is desirable that the RK line would work in the opposite direction - it would transmit information about the detected targets to the carrier.

3.2. Possibilities of using Tu-160 against AUG


When attacking the AUG, the Tu-160 will be detected by the Hokai or IS officers on duty at a distance of 600-800 km from the AUG. And he will be able to get out of the horizon and detect the AUG only at a distance of 400-420 km. At this time, the security officers on duty will already go out into the attack.

Suppose that the Tu-160 has nevertheless reached the horizon and is trying to issue a control center for an anti-ship missile. At such a long range, it is already difficult to detect ships without interference, and the AUG will definitely turn on the interference. If the jammers have not yet been lifted into the air, then the ship's KREPs will turn on and create an illumination sector with a width of about 160 km on the Tu-20 radar indicator. If a couple of directors also act, then the zone in which the true targets are hidden by interference, and the false ones are visible, will expand to 50 km. Welcome! Start up your RCCs!

As an example, consider only the aviation version of the Onyx anti-ship missile system. Its weight has been reduced, compared to the ship's, from 3 tons to 2,5 tons, and its length - from 8 m to 6 m. In fact, this is Yakhont, the range of which has been increased due to the launch from high altitudes. GOS Onyx is capable of detecting large targets at ranges of more than 50 km. If you do not give the anti-ship missile high-precision radio correction and allow it to freely search for a target, then it will grab, for example, the signal from a remote jamming transmitter - a repeater installed on a UAV located at a distance of 10–20 km from the AUG. Passive decoys can also be caught. Then the anti-ship missile will not target, in general, any AUG ship. Not to mention correctly aiming at the main target. The only way to overcome the effect of interference and give an accurate control command to the anti-ship missile system is to reach the Tu-160 at a range of less than 100-150 km and open the situation with two planes at once, separated by tens of kilometers. Obviously, this scenario is unrealizable in the case of an AUG attack.

Only desperate optimists can hope that the anti-ship missile system will be able to not only highlight the aircraft carrier in the interference, but also, having flown past Arlie Burkes, at the end also overcome its air defense system.

Other RCCs are even less likely. The X-35 has a range of less than 300 km, that is, it will not reach the AUG. Zircon needs an accurate control center, since it must lock the target while still on the march, that is, at altitudes of 30–40 km. To descend to a lower altitude, for example, 10 km, and continue to search for a target, he will not be able to because of overheating. Let us also take into account the fact that it is difficult to detect a target at steep angles due to an increase in the reflections of the sounding signal from the sea surface. The plasma cloud around Zircon further complicates detection. When independently searching for a target, Zircon's high speed becomes a disadvantage, since it takes 5-10 seconds to make a decision to start a dive at the target.

3.3. Possibilities of using Tu-160 against KUG


The absence of Hawkeye AWACS in the KUG makes it easier for the Tu-160 to reach the horizon, but the amount of interference will not be much less than in the case of the AUG. Only jamming planes will be absent, but less powerful UAVs will be present.

The main danger for the Tu-160 is the Aegis air defense missile system. The firing range of the SM6 is estimated at 400 km, so it is dangerous to approach the KUG at a shorter distance to get a more accurate target control. Theoretically, it is possible to place a powerful KREP on the Tu-160 and, by organizing a flickering interference from two sides, swing the missile guidance loop, but given the increased visibility of the Tu-160 and its low maneuverability, it is better not to take such a risk.

What kind of radar is installed on the Tu160m2 was not reported, but the dimensions of the fairing make it possible to obtain a rather narrow beam with a width of 1,5 °, which corresponds to a search zone width of 10 km with a range of 400 km. Thus, interference located outside this width will be attenuated tens or hundreds of times. Since the KUG has no production planes, it can be assumed that the area covered by interference will be ± 5 km. Of course, it is easier for anti-ship missiles to search for a target in such a zone than in the AUG zone, but the destroyer's RCS is an order of magnitude smaller than that of an aircraft carrier, and it is easier to create false targets for camouflaging it.

The formation of the control center could be significantly simplified with the use of the A-100 AWACS aircraft, which, from a range of 450 km, would receive a significantly more detailed picture than the Tu-160. The AWACS radar beam has a width of only 1 °, which narrows the width of the search area to 7 km. A100 radar uses a range of 10 cm, in which shipboard KREPs do not work. The KREP of this range, placed on the UAV, has a much lower power than the shipborne one and it will be difficult for it to suppress the powerful AWACS radar. The main disadvantage of the A-100 AWACS is a small combat radius - 2000 km. It is extremely difficult to organize its refueling due to the huge fuel consumption - 6 t / h.

The result here is disappointing - the Tu-160 attack on the KUG will be ineffective.

3.4. Use of tactical aviation (TA)


It makes sense to use TA where the coastal complexes Bal and Bastion are missing. Let's assume that this is the first 500 km from the coast. On the other hand, the range of a TA usually does not exceed 1000 km from the airfield. Of course, refueling can also be used, but we still do not have enough Il-78, but how many will there be in 2035?

Let's look at a specific example.

3.4.1. TA actions against AUG


Suppose that the AUG approached our territory and is located 800 km from the TA airfield. We will assume that the question of the suspension of an anti-ship missile with a mass of 2,5 tons on Su aircraft has already been resolved. Then one Su can carry 2 aviation Onyxes. It remains to figure out how to give them a control center? For the commander of the AUG, the location of our airfield is known, so the AWACS Hokai will be moved 300 km towards the airfield and will be able to detect the Su at a distance of more than 600 km from the AUG. Therefore, it will be about gaining air superiority. It is advantageous for the AUG to engage in battles when our IS approach a range of 250-400 km. In this case, they will have the support of their own air defense systems, radars and jammers. The advantages include the ability for the AUG IS to take off with half the fuel supply. Consequently, winning aerial battles is possible only due to a large numerical advantage and is associated with large losses. If the battles took place at a distance of 500-600 km from the AUG, then the advantage would be on our side.

The beam width of the radar on Su aircraft exceeds 2 °, therefore, the quality of the control unit delivery, even from a range of 300 km, is no better than that of the Tu-160 with a range of 400.

The situation can be improved by using a pair of AWACS A-100. They should be located at a distance of 450 km from the AUG at an altitude of 12 km, which corresponds to the horizon range. The distance between the A-100 pair along the front should be 150-200 km. This will make it possible to determine with high accuracy the position of the placed jammers. The range of 450 km ensures the non-defeat of the SM6 missiles. But to protect against the enemy's IS, you will have to use a pair of IS, which will ensure the protection of AWACS from UR AMRAAM. AWACS is capable of detecting these URs immediately after starting with IS.

Since light UAV directors usually emit interference in only one wavelength range, the interference for IS and for AWACS will be emitted by different directors. Joint processing of signals received by AWACS and IS will make it possible to separate the issued directors from the true targets. The effectiveness of air combat between IS when controlled from AWACS will also increase significantly.

If we assume that, as a result of the battle, it will be possible to bring our IS to the line of 300 km and get a control center, then the quality of such a control center from an information security system will not be better than a control center from an AWACS, therefore it is easier to provide security for AWACS and get a control center from them, unfavorable conditions. In the event of a massive IS attack specifically against AWACS, the A-100, having noticed the attack, can simply step back under the cover of its IS. The IS officers on duty from the airfield or coastal air defense systems will help to finally repel the attack. Then the AWACS returns to a range of 450 km, and the number of available sorties on the aircraft carrier is reduced. Since the accuracy of the control center will be approximately ± 4 km, a lot depends on the availability of the GOS RCC's ability to dump a picture of signals and interference on the IS.

3.4.2. Using TA against KUG


The absence of AWACS and IS of the enemy allows you to get a more accurate control center using IS. The main danger to IS is the Aegis air defense missile system, which is capable of intercepting IS flying below the horizon. Therefore, it is possible to approach the KUG, for example, at a distance of 150 km, only at low altitude, when the KUG's radar does not yet detect the target.

To obtain such a more accurate control center, you will have to form a reconnaissance group of 4 information security, armed with the R-77-1 missile defense system. The first two ISs follow at an altitude of no more than 1 km, with the task of reaching the line of 150 km and, having made a "slide", reconnoitre the IBM. The distance between the IS along the front should be 30-50 km. Aegis radar will detect the first IS and launch missiles at them. Having completed reconnaissance in 5–10 s, the first IS descend below the horizon and fly to the side. Having lost the target, the Aegis radar switches the missiles into over-the-horizon mode and turns on their seeker. Then the second IS, located 15-20 km further than the first, turn on the radar and detect the missile defense at a distance of 60-70 km. Further, the second IS tie the trajectory of the missile defense system and determine whether the missile defense system can intercept the first IS or whether it is directed towards the place where the slide took place. In case of danger, Ur R-77-1 are launched in the direction of the missile defense system, and the IS return back.

4. findings


Due to the lack of a series, the construction of aircraft carriers will be very expensive. The French also failed to bring the reliability of a single aircraft carrier to the required level. Looking at Kuzya, do you think we will somehow succeed? Two medium-sized aircraft carriers, taking into account the cost of development and infrastructure, will cost 1,5 trillion rubles. The actual operation of two AUGs costs at least 80 billion rubles a year. Even if the construction of AUGs takes 20 years, then instead of that, you can build a full-fledged destroyer per year.

The rejection of aircraft carriers in favor of naval missile-carrying aviation also does not solve the problem of the far sea zone. When attacking AUG Tu-160m2, due to increased visibility, it will not be able to reach the horizon and issue a control center, without which an anti-ship missile attack is ineffective in conditions of interference. When attacking the KUG, Tu160 will be able to reach a safe range of 450 km and form a control center. But a detailed picture of the KUG, due to interference, cannot be obtained at such a distance. Therefore, the effectiveness of launching anti-ship missiles, although it will be higher than with the attack of the AUG, will still be small.

In the near sea zone, it is much safer to use TA instead of Tu-160. When attacking the AUG TA, it can receive an inaccurate CO on its own, but it is much safer to use a pair of A-100 AWACS for reconnaissance. When attacking a KUG, AWACS is not required. Conventional IS are capable of reaching a range of 150 km and forming a more accurate CU than AWACS.

It follows that the tasks of the MPA will be very limited, and the cost of 50 Tu-160 plus the cost of 10 A-100 will be at least 900 billion rubles.

As a result, you don’t understand what to choose: two aircraft carriers will perform some tasks, but they are very expensive, the MPA is cheaper, but it has little combat capability, and the tasks for it need to be tortured. In BMZ it is much more efficient to use TA.

The leader of the peoples to the question "left or right deviation is worse" - answered: both are worse. Apparently, we will also have to resolve the issue of AUG or MRA. A third way is needed.

The author has already proposed one of the options in articles about the concept of an aircraft-carrying cruiser and AWACS aircraft. But these questions are not the subject of this article, since it is necessary to put forward the concept of increasing the combat effectiveness of the entire surface fleet. At the same time, we will have to take into account that the surface fleet is clearly not a favorite among our leadership.

      An article about the fact that there are a bunch of problems, and they cannot be solved simply because. ....! That is, the author chose such a direction of discussion, how to highlight all the problems when creating an aircraft carrier, but there are no ways to solve them? The Yankees would even have a pie with such an approach, not like a destroyer, but about an aircraft carrier, I am silent - they would never have been built! There is only one question - the Kremlin's DESIRE to allocate money for the construction of aircraft carriers, of which 4 -2 are needed for the Pacific Fleet, and 2 for the Northern Fleet. And the problems with proper funding can be solved, the fleet should receive aircraft carriers in the foreseeable future.

        In my opinion, the infrastructure of the Zaliv CVD in Kerch is quite suitable.

    The author of the article is a clear supporter of the AUG.
    Russia does not need aircraft carriers in principle.
    And the American AUGs cannot fight against Russia. If the US AUG approaches the Russian coast closer than 700 km, then it can be destroyed from the coast. At the same time, the planes from this AUG to our shores simply will not reach our shores - they will shoot them down on the way.
    US AUGs are only suitable for the war with the Papuans.

      Oh, come on. Have you forgotten the Far East in the region of Kamchatka and the Pacific Ocean? This is how the US AUG is ideally used against Russia, more precisely against the facilities of the Pacific Fleet, which is already (except for the nuclear submarine) barely breathing - there are only a few really combat-ready ships there and all outdated samples.
      And the AUG will operate in the second wave of the strike - the first is Tomahawks from submarines and strategic aviation. When they suppress the air defense forces and part of the strike assets, then the AUG aviation will join.
      And this aviation will also cover the deployment areas of its fleet from our aviation. Although there is no such word at the Pacific Fleet at all. (See Vozdvizhenka)

    The author is very optimistic. But you need to call things directly.
    If we leave everything with the Naval Aviation as it is today, then in 2025-2026 it will be possible to put an end to it and transfer the remaining few new aircraft to the Aerospace Forces.
    We look at the facts:
    1. Prospects for leaving the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" from repair are rather vague. If it comes out in a few years, then by that time almost all of the Su-33s will have developed a resource and will be decommissioned. The remaining MiG-29K will not do the same with their range. In addition, while the ship is stationary, specialists, including experienced pilots, leave the deck aviation. They have not been flying from the ship for a long time, they are degrading, and so there are only a few of them. Most likely this topic will be closed. There is nothing more to base there. The MiG-29K will most likely be “fired” ashore completely. Su-33 production is paralyzed.
    2. Anti-submarine aviation will cease to exist. Il-38 and Tu-142 will be massively written off, although there are very few of them left. There are even fewer modernized ones. Absolutely outdated against American Poseidons and even promising Japanese PLO aircraft. And here is a very deplorable situation;
    3. There will be no more naval missile-carrying aircraft. There are very few Tu-22M3 left and they will not fly for long. They will be needed in the videoconferencing. There is no adequate replacement. There are, of course, promising variants of the Su-34. But even this will not solve the problem - there is a weak combat load and range against the Tu-22M3. And the new Su-34s will also be needed by the Aerospace Forces.
    So, with this approach and this situation, our Naval Aviation will not exist for a very long time. Only new fighters Su-30SM and MiG-29K. But there are few of them and most likely they will become part of the VKS.
    State Duma deputies and the military should ask the authorities harshly about such a state of the fleet.
    Why in 20 years they could not create an anti-submarine aircraft on the Tu-214 platform and why did they curtail the production of the Su-33 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. It could still be done. At least a couple of pieces a year. Then the meaning of the aircraft carrier and its modernization would be of some kind for sure.

      A very correct comment. I believe that the first step is to repair Kuznetsov and use him as a combat training aircraft carrier. We cannot lose the modest aircraft carrier that we have, otherwise it will be possible to forget about the construction of aircraft carriers in the Russian Federation for 30-40 years for sure. And, of course, we urgently need to develop a project for a new anti-submarine aircraft and a helicopter, without them, our fleet will have nothing.

        Do not forget that this aircraft carrier already has 2 THREAD training complexes in Yeisk and Crimea. Billions of rubles were spent on their construction and maintenance. And why are they now if there is no ship?
        And they began to build Yeisk even before the Crimea returned. Therefore, we have both.
        And if we lose this ship (it is advisable to postpone the repair of all other ships for the sake of him alone), we will forever lose not only deck but also Naval aviation as a whole. Forever and ever.
        The production of the Su-33 heavy fighter and its two-seat version (it was almost ready) was restored. On the basis of dozens of Tu-214s with a resource that the airlines have abandoned and they are worth, it is possible to create an anti-submarine aircraft.
        There is not even a naval aviation school to train personnel for the naval aviation.

        the comparison is not correct, even if we take purely shock functions and lead to a common denominator, then it is far from the fact that the rocket will be more expensive, because you need to take into account the probability of the destruction of the pilot and, therefore, its cost (and this is much more expensive in time and money than the electronics of the rocket)

    On the one hand, he seems to think correctly.
    On the other hand, we will have one aircraft carrier, and what will it change?
    Will he dramatically increase the combat capability of the fleet in the face of complete numerical superiority of the enemy?
    It is unlikely if everything else remains as it is (i.e. no, and soon even this will not be left). And to achieve even an approximate hint of parity is not realistic for us in the foreseeable future.

    Here's what I completely agree with the author, so it's about the resumption of the construction of the TU-160 - nonsense.,
    But I don't see any problems with target designation - we are building 22 normal drones, we attach each one to the AUG, from time to time we change them without losing sight of the wards ... and voila, there is always information that is accurate and up-to-date.

The air is lost, the ocean is lost, the electronics are lost, space is lost ... All that remains is dry land, but most of our tanks have not gone that far from the Iraqi ones. Guerrilla? The rancor who ate in counter-partisanship, from the Arab countries to Afgan, NATO members, most likely, will make us here too. And what to fight for? For the capital of the oligarchs? Will it not turn out that NATO rule will be easier for the country and the people than the oligarchic yoke? Is it worth fighting when there is no opportunity to win from the very beginning and, despite all efforts, the enemy will win anyway? If you surrender, the enemy will take too. Only without the huge sacrifices and destruction inherent in war. That is, if in both cases we do not win, the order of the invaders is unlikely to be worse and the only question is the number of victims that can be avoided - is it not better to surrender, to win peacefully?

By the way, after several explosions of nuclear charges at an altitude of 100 km, this very "electronics" from NATO and everyone else will also be lost throughout the theater of operations!

And military doctrine should clearly indicate these measures ...
      PS: for the record: if you haven't noticed, then we, the USSR, have already surrendered once! As a result, the losses (both human, economic / resource) from this step were much higher (at times!) Than from the hostilities on Soviet territory during World War II ... So not a step back!

        That is, you admit that in a conventional war we will lose without a chance? And about the end of the USSR ... I have slightly different thoughts. It was not the evil west that ruined the country It's just that the Soviet economy was deeply unprofitable. Enterprises worked for a warehouse, released uncompetitive waste. Plus, the enterprises themselves have an outdated machine park, there are even a lot of German trophies. No organization of labor, whole departments where aunts drive tea ... Plus, these enterprises are hung with a bunch of obviously unprofitable objects that do not bring profit and do not even participate in production, I mean sanatorium camps. Plus, enterprises are regularly robbed, all the time they overwhelm the socialist camp, allied republics and national entities within the RSFSR with nishtyaks. Here is the bureaucratic apparatus bloated beyond all measure, moreover, the nomenklatura did not refuse benefits to itself - and dared to hypocritically call the people to asceticism. Returning to factories and products, it turned out that when no one began to support the factories, their poor products could not withstand the competition, and the factories naturally disappeared.

          I agree with this unconditionally.
          It's just that the Soviet economy was deeply unprofitable ... they released uncompetitive garbage ... their poor products could not withstand competition

          Truth? I wonder who told you this ... ghm ... false information? At the time of the collapse of the USSR, it was the second largest economy in the world. The USSR's GDP was about 20% of the world (the United States is now less than), the external debt of the USSR in 1985 was $ 29 billion (the United States had 1 trillion 823 billion in the same year) If we take the USSR GDP (GNP, as it was then called in the USSR) in 1928 for 100%, then in 1988 it was 7651%. In the late 80s, we experienced a slowdown in economic growth. Growth in 1988 amounted to "only" 4% (And how much do you know about the RF now? If not, then take an interest).
          Most of Russia's infrastructure came from the USSR. Plus a hydroelectric power station, plus a nuclear power plant.
          Our great Bizdin Elbasy of All Russia at every corner never ceases to talk about hypersound and about aviation. True, he is modestly silent that the reserves of today's achievements were laid in the USSR. The USSR had an ocean-going fleet. Where did it come from in a country with a "loss-making" economy? And the aviation? And space? And the socialist camp? Was this all of the losses financed?
          Where the story about the allegedly unprofitable Soviet economy came from is clear. It was necessary to lie to the gentlemen of the privatizers when they were taking sweet pieces into their pockets. But why repeat these lies now?
          As for the poor products ... So poor Soviet trucks and cars still roam the roads. But Russian cars are somehow not enough ... More and more foreign cars, yes foreign cars ... Apparently, because of the highly efficient Russian economy. Sure sure...
          The bureaucratic apparatus, overblown beyond all measure, is also here, and the nomenklatura did not refuse benefits to itself - and dared to hypocritically call the people to asceticism.

          You are confusing something. It is now constantly urged to be patient, but they say that we need to understand everything correctly. In the "unprofitable" USSR, there was no need to raise the retirement age.
          And you don't seem to be aware of the number of officials either. There are much more of them in the Russian Federation than there were in the USSR as a whole, and the benefits of the Soviet nomenklatura cannot be compared to what those in power now have.

            Indeed. The Soviet economy was unprofitable. There is a very simple indicator: if a product does not succeed in the Western market and personally in the American market, it means that it is shit. A really good product will not be held back by any barriers - neither duties, nor political prohibitions. And I don't see that the volume of sales of Lada was comparable to that of Ford. You can also recall something else: I saw beautiful diagrams where the consumption of meat and butter in the USSR was much higher than in the developed countries of Europe ... But in fact, there were huge queues for the blue bird. So trust the propaganda about the second economy of the world less. What is the use of the size of GDP and economic growth, when a citizen has been standing in line for decades for a poor Khrushchev and no less poor Zhigul. So, per capita GDP is more honest, and it is nominal (GDP based on PPP is also a lie - according to it, Colombia is almost catching up with Germany, it's ridiculous). Here is the huge militarization of the economy - in the States it did not exceed the average NATO 2% of GDP. In the USSR, there is a legend that it was 30. And still they could not cope and the main emphasis was placed on nuclear weapons. Although it seems to be perfectly clear: if you cannot win a war with conventional weapons, then nuclear weapons will not help. And if you can, then nuclear is redundant and unnecessary. But we have inflated a weapon of retaliation out of him, just like one failed artist. That is, there is a pyramid of parasitism: the soldier ate the citizen, the nuclear was devoured by the soldier. And the army itself was not so effective: hazing, fellowship, officers' arbitrariness - all this has been going on since Soviet times. In the west, there is definitely no such abomination, there the soldiers do not paint the grass. Now about the officials. Senior citizens remembered the Stalinist times, when officials were regularly thinned out. The oldest remembered tsarism when the apparatus was very small. That is, they had something to compare with, many in their lifetime found a sharp rise in the bureaucracy after Stalin's death. And now there are even more of them, really.

              E-he-he ... Your evaluation criteria are interesting ... "Poor Khrushchevs" ... And the communal apartments that were before the Khrushchevs, do you want? And they gave Khrushchev free of charge. And now, like, a mortgage for 25 years with real prospects of being left without an apartment if you lose your job, this is probably a grain of good ... Well, oh well. It's not about the criteria.
              You see, what a thing, at different periods of its history in the USSR there was a different economy. And again, it has NEVER been unprofitable. Modern "privatizators" are still devouring what was founded under the USSR.
              Now about a different economy. I don’t know about you, but I managed to catch the economy of the 80s at a quite conscious age. I had to "smell" both the deficit and not the optimal organization of production and the hazing of the army, by the way, too. I, by a sinful deed, in my youth, thought that it had always been this way. Throughout Soviet history. But when he rummaged in the sources, and asked his relatives and friends, the picture turned out to be completely different.
              The economy that we all saw in the 80s was "presented" to us by Khrushchev. It was he who began to destroy the economic system that was built by 1929 and worked very effectively. For example, economic growth from 1929 to 1955 averaged just under 14% per year. This is despite the fact that when calculating the average indicators, the years of the Second World War were also taken into account. Growth of 14% per year for over 25 years! Now we can only dream of this in sweet dreams.
              Further ... There was no shortage. Since there were artels and personal subsidiary plots (in the countryside), that is, the private sector. Yes, they provided less than 20% of the total gross output, but at the same time provided up to 90% of the commercial variety. In the USSR, for a very long time, state-owned factories did not make children's toys at all. The need for them was completely covered by the artels. Moreover, the artels also carried out government orders. Do you know that during the Second World War, Sudaev's submachine guns (PPS-43) were also produced by the Primus artel? After the war, one of the artels, commissioned by the state, produced electronics for the military industry. Collective farmers used their own money to buy tanks and aircraft for the front. That equalization in income, which I saw in the 80s, did not exist at that time. In the economy, inventive and rationalization activities and money for inventions and rac were encouraged in every possible way. the offers were not paid very small. Production planning was carried out centrally in physical terms (tons, pieces, liters, etc.) with the subsequent infusion of the necessary funds into the economy (because the money was our own, they printed it themselves, and did not use someone else's, as it is now). And so on and so forth.
              And the competent organization of the economy gave a sharp leap in the development of the country ...
              With the arrival of Khrushchev, everything changed. Artels and similar farms in the village were destroyed. A period of general state control and leveling began. Until the mid-80s, the country's economy was rolling on the same growth that was achieved by the mid-50s. And then the inertia of this growth ended ... And ... We have what we have ...
              Yes, I almost forgot. About the fact that the USSR was the second economy in the world. This is not propaganda. They are not satisfied with Soviet economic research - read Western ones. But the fact that in the USSR the militarization of the economy was 30% is just propaganda for the illiterate. No economy, even if it is a diamond, will not be able to withstand such a share of unproductive expenses. As the saying goes, don't read liberal newspapers before dinner.

                These are all numbers that are very divorced from reality. Real economic growth is when a citizen can afford more and better quality for the same amount. For example, prices and salaries do not change. But at the same time, last year a person could not afford to go to the sea, but this year he can. And not pathetic Turkey-Egypt. This is real economic growth, not an abstract number in a newspaper.

        They are not the same thing at all. The Reich longed to destroy us and even enslave us, the entire people. The West, too, does not burn with motherly love for us, but the States have never had such cannibalistic plans for the country and the people, believe the propaganda less. The difference is roughly the same as between Philip and Alexander's views on Persia: Philip had an option of the Reich - to explode into those lands and commit massacre and robbery ... And in the eyes of Alexander, Persia was a valuable prize that should be tried to be kept as less damaged as possible. Little joy in reigning bare ashes. So the West also had exactly the view of Alexander - the United States needs a strong and rich satellite, if only because much more (in absolute terms) of the colonial tax can be levied from the second economy of the world than from the bottom of a hundred. Again, a strong country in its vicinity maintains a solid order, which is much more beneficial than the pacing gangs that hate the civilized way of life.

          Speaking several years ago, Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of England, dropped a cryptic phrase: "According to the world community, it is economically expedient to live in Russia for 15 million people." The translator thought he misheard and translated 50 million. But Thatcher immediately corrected him. There were another 150 million of us at that time. Where are the other 135 million? And the rest will go under the real knife of madness, lack of culture, debauchery, drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

          Two years ago, this very Madeleine Albright, who was then the US Secretary of State, came to our country in person and, speaking, dropped the same mysterious phrase: "According to the world community, it is economically expedient to live in Russia for 15 million people." Where are the other 130? There were 145 million of us already then. As you can see, the misanthropic program has just set a course for its implementation.

      The United States in the early 50s of the XX century had hundreds of nuclear bombs and their carriers, while the USSR did not have a single bomb suitable for combat use and not a single delivery vehicle. But for some reason the United States did not begin to realize its absolute and indisputable advantage, although it had the opportunity to destroy all large and medium-sized cities of the USSR with practically impunity. Why are they going to conquer us now, when there is no longer such an advantage?
      There are no fools in the west to fight the Russians, because everyone there knows that we can fight better than do anything else. We have a peaceful life worse than a war. We go to war - yes, voluntarily and in line. Women in tears, and men in a dance. They went to Donbass so that the authorities got scared.

      a rather dubious necessity, because if "someone" tries to destroy some significant part of the SSBN, then this automatically means the beginning of a war and a volley of nuclear weapons. The main thing here is to have a sufficiently large number of SSBNs so that there is no possibility of "mowing down by chance" (to prevent the enemy from disguising their actions as "accident").

    There is no anti-submarine aviation, no submarines with vnau, no minesweepers, no destroyers, no airborne battleship, no normal torpedoes ... but a lot of other things are still missing. But for many years they have been drummed into us that without a floating airfield we will all die out. I can already imagine how many hundreds of yards will be asked for development, the same amount for the adaptation of production, the same amount for construction ... then they will make, remodel, complete, test and put into operation for 20 years. Then we will spend the same amount of money on the development of carrier-based aircraft, its purchase and training of pilots and crew. And when, in 30 years, we get all this, it turns out that all reasonable ones have long written off their buckets and are betting on long-range hypersound. So maybe we will finish first a full-fledged series of "Pot" and "Superpot". Then a series of "Varshavyank" or "Lad", "Ash", minesweepers in the required quantity. We will finish the torpedoes and underwater robots to fight mines. On the basis of the Be-200 we will make a fighter against submarines, and on the basis of the MS-21 we will make an inexpensive AWACS aircraft. Let's create a new opposite helicopter. We will make modern anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft defense corvettes. Several helicopter carriers. But only then you can think about the aircraft carrier.

    How many new aircraft carriers are needed? Most are in favor of two - for the Pacific Fleet and for the Northern Fleet. We build first one, and then on the same slipway - the second. Some require a third - to replace one of the two for the duration of the repair.
    A dozen. Just so that at least one aircraft carrier in the fleet was at sea.
    For any version of the aircraft carrier, you will have to build an AWACS aircraft
    If we undertake to build an aircraft carrier, then we should build a complete set of carrier-based aircraft, and not just AWACS.
    For jammers on the aircraft carrier, apparently, they will use ready-made carriers. For example, the Su-34.
    There is no deck version of the Su-34, the Su-34 cannot be based on an aircraft carrier.
    10 new AWACS A-100
    Doubtful: the sanctions knocked down this plane.
    The fundamental disadvantage of the Tu-160, regardless of its novelty, is its increased visibility.Accordingly, it is not able to break through any air defense, including the AUG defense
    Tu-160 will not be in naval aviation. Never. This is a strategic missile carrier. The fact that the Tu-142 is similar to the Tu-95MS does not at all mean that it is one plane.
    The Americans gave birth to the idea of ​​an airplane with variable wing geometry, and they killed it.
    EMNIP, the idea of ​​an airplane with a variable wing geometry was killed by computers, which made it possible to calculate such an integrated center section, which is well suited for both subsonic and supersonic.
    Should we continue to cling to it in the 98st century, if XNUMX% of the time we fly subsonic?
    And if, without this feature, the plane will be shot down, and 2% at supersonic will allow "to save the majesty from all sorts of unnecessary meetings"?
    If the seeker is allowed to search for a target in such a strip, then it will capture any of the decoys in this strip, as long as the false target imitates a larger one than the EPR ships.
    Smart, multichannel heads have now begun to be made (see LRASM). You can't fool her that way.
    As an example, consider only the aviation version of the Onyx anti-ship missile system.
    But he is not. The Indians have, but we do not.

          1) landing gear legs should be reinforced to work from the ground and shitty concrete
          2) the insides must already be resistant to water and salt to work from coastal and island airfields
          3) a large wing and a reinforced fuselage either already exist or it is easy to put on the Su-34 (fortunately, it is based on the MFI concept),
          There, if anything is needed, then engines with UVT, and so the Su-34 is originally a super-low-altitude super-maneuverable front-line bomber. Another thing is that it is desirable to have a large aircraft carrier with large hangars and lifts in order to use land-based aircraft (Su-34)

    Let us compare the impact potential in terms of the available resources in the assessments of the capabilities of the AUG and the MPA.
    The country is limited not only in material, but also in engineering, design and production areas.
    The cost of 4 AUG will be 4,5 trillion rubles. And taking into account the real KOH, our Navy will be in service only in the best case, 2 AUG.

    The same 4,5 trillion rubles can be produced together:

    SU-57 (price 2,5 billion) 600 pcs
    A-100 (price 15 billion) 40 pcs
    IL-78M-90A (price 5 billion) 60 pcs
    TU-160M ​​(price 15 billion) 60 pcs (of course it is outdated, so it is better to produce PAKDA instead)

    Plus 1,2 trillion will remain for the technical re-equipment of production facilities, an increase in the payroll of workers, the arrangement of airfields and service systems.

    How many US AUG are able to withstand this?

    Plus, we have an operational concentration of striking power in a threatened direction.
    NOT for weeks in case of 5 fleets and fleets spread across all our seas.
    And within 24-48 hours.

    Plus, we also have the ability to use these forces in any land theater of operations.

    Plus, we have a solution to the problem of the Boeing P-8 Poseidon and other NATO submarines for the safe exit of our SSBNs to the launch areas.

      > The cost of 4 AUG will be RUB 4,5 trillion. And taking into account the real KOH, our Navy will be in service only in the best case, 2 AUG.
      So the AUG does not need to be kept at sea all the time. Well this is not an SSBN :) There was a task for several months - they sent to carry it out. Therefore, in fact, almost all countries have 1-2 such ships. Russia itself does not need more than 1-2.

      > Plus, we have a solution to the problem of the Boeing P-8 Poseidon and other NATO submarines for the safe exit of our SSBNs to the launch areas.
      Suppose we want to provide a continuous view of the Bering and Okhotsk seas. To do this, you need to continuously keep 2 aircraft in the air. From Wikipedia: "A-100 is capable of staying in the air at a distance of 1.000 kilometers from the base for up to 6 hours." Assuming one flight per day, we get 8 aircraft. Taking 0.25 aircraft KOH from the ceiling, we get 32 ​​A-100, which roughly corresponds to 16 22350 frigates. The latter will provide similar airspace control if we are talking about peacetime, but at the same time they will additionally provide high-quality ASW and can, if necessary, be used for other tasks.

      In general, you propose to solve very narrow problems with very specialized tools. Yes, for these tasks (AUG attack) these tools (Tu-160M) may be more effective than more universal ones. But for all other tasks with this approach, you will have to create your own tools.

      Moreover, Gorshkov's fleet and how quickly it ceased to be effective, perfectly shows the ineffectiveness of relying on highly specialized systems.

    Well, here again the suffering of Hamlet "to be or not to be". Far-fetched facts and complete fictions. 1. I grab the cons of the "aircraft carrier lobby" but in the USSR the problem of aircraft carriers was solved by long-range aviation. Previously, the Navy had its own. Now assigned to strategists. And Tu-22M3M, and "Daggers" and X-35, and "Bastions", and much more if you think about it, this is all for "who" ???
    2. The very fact of aircraft carriers is, in principle, controversial today. The Americans have already wondered whether they need so many aircraft carriers, but if they remember the composition of the carrier-based aviation of 1980-1995, and now for those who think you can understand everything.
    3. The USSR was able to resolve issues in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and if you think a lot else where, and without any AUG. But how he began to build them, and ..... So, as the famous movie hero said, "The devastation is not in the toilet, but in the heads." For those who think everything said, for the rest, learn history.

      all right, first of all, why is the question of DMZ being raised? Of course, if we are talking about Africa, then there MRA is not effective against ships, but surface ships are even less effective there, at least the plane can physically fly and return, and the AUG is just so cumbersome and requires so much that it cannot reach Africa .. In general, the totalitarian destructive sect of aircraft carrier witnesses is so weak in brains that it does not understand the simple truth of no money !!! , but people like AUG are worth, there will never be money ... and they still have not understood, but what is the task of the fleet in the Indian Ocean? and in general, does AUG have any tasks for the Russian Federation ?, ...... they do not.

    MRA is a highly specialized instrument... In practice, the MPA is able to perform only one task - the fight against large surface ships, and not everywhere, but only where there is enough range. That is, this is a "defensive game"

    In turn, aircraft carriers are a versatile tool, who is able not only to heroically die in an apocalyptic battle, but also to solve the usual political tasks of peacetime and during the notorious local low-intensity conflicts that are now going on constantly... Yes, it's expensive. But once created, this tool will prove to be more than 1,5 times more useful than the MPA.

    By technique:
    1. Deck DLRO. In my opinion, there is about one realistic option: to try to negotiate with the Chinese, to join the project of the deck-based Xian KJ-600 (clone C-2 Greyhound / E-2 Hawkeye, first flight last August) and supply our own electronic stuffing. The alternatives in the form of the revival of the Yak-44 or the creation of a DLRO UAV will obviously turn into a long-term construction.
    2. Fighters / Jammers / etc. as I understand it can be done on the basis of the same platform. I suspect that the fastest way will be to depress the Su-30SM ("Su-30SMK"). The rest of the options are either completely outdated (Su-33, MiG-29KUB), or it will not be clear when (conditional Su-57K). There is less sense in discouraging the Su-34 than the Su-30, since at the exit, instead of a universal platform for different tasks, we will get a narrowly specialized aircraft. This option is supported, for example, by the experience of the Americans with the F / AE / F-18 Super Hornet.
    3. MRA. The most interesting thing is that if, on the one hand, you follow the path of freezing the Su-30SM, and on the other, you learn how to hang anti-ship missiles from it, then you can assemble a couple of regiments on the basis of ordinary land aircraft. As a result, in theory, there should be a significant unification with the deck version in terms of weapons, navigation and training.
    4. Security ships. Indeed, there are no options other than 22350. In case of successful construction of 22350M in sufficient quantities, you can gradually switch to it. These ships are needed regardless of the aircraft carriers.
    5. Lost moment: naval helicopters and UAVs. In any case, they will have to be created for 22350 (M).
    6. The number of aircraft carriers. I believe that no more than two and according to the principle "we build the first, then on the same slipway the second" based on the construction time of up to 10 years.

    In general, it seems to me that the comparison of the cost of AUG versus the cost of MPA in the article is somewhat incorrect. The main reason is that almost all the components of the AUG, except, perhaps, the aircraft carrier itself, the carrier-based version of the multipurpose fighter and the carrier-based DLRO aircraft, in any case, will have to be created at least to ensure the stability of the NSNF.

    In addition, the indicated operating cost of 80 billion per year significantly overlaps with the spending on the operation in Syria - creation and the operation of Khmeimim and the work of aviation from it.

    Thus, I believe that the choice in favor of abandoning aircraft carriers is fully consistent with the saying "the miser pays twice." And so far this is confirmed both by numbers and by the experience of all countries that have at least some significant fleet over the past 75 years.

    For some reason, all the disputants forget about such a seemingly inconspicuous side of the matter as logistics and provision of everything necessary at sea. Do we have tankers and suppliers who can supply the AUG with everything it needs in the ocean? Let's say an aircraft carrier is nuclear (which is far from a fact) and does not need fuel. And his escort? And all ships will need many other completely unheroic things, including toilet paper.

      From Andrey's side from Chelyabinsk - the infrastructure will be useful for other ships.

      The answer was something like this
      1) Refueling 1 aircraft carrier is like refueling 50 (!!) Tu-160 AT ONCE (up to the "neck")
      In my calculations, I have always appealed the third of the planes, i.e. if we have 50 Tu-160s, then we can count on 16 vehicles at a time (+ -).
      What other ships need such refueling capacity? Yes, none.

    (not special, only imho)
    Apparently, we will also have to resolve the issue of AUG or MRA. A third way is needed.

    That is why, for the "transitional period", how to build full-fledged AUG ...
    [and in the course of discussions even amateurs, as I understood, - for which more thanks to Timokhin, Vorontsov, Konovalov and others, and to the author of this article in particular, - that there is no sense at all to talk about an aircraft carrier per se. There is no "aircraft carrier", but there is an AUG - a cluster that includes cover ships, supply ships, submarines, with an aircraft carrier as a core. This is followed by the "outer layers of the onion": logistics in the form of docks, overseas bases and transcontinental supply chains (surface / submarine transports, air transport). Information support (satellite constellations, aircraft repeaters, ground communication and correction stations around the world). That's what "aircraft carriers" are. And without any of these elements, the whole system is significantly depreciated, despite the incredible cost] ... and perhaps it is better to focus on:
    - Radical improvement of naval aviation. Without her cover, NK, submarines will not be able to work.
    - Tasks PLO, AWACS, surveillance, search and rescue, etc., from manned aircraft to shift to swarms of UAVs.
    - To calculate once again the prospects of using manned VTOL / SUVP aircraft from aircraft carriers (possibly in combination with mooring UAVs - "tugs", "active aerodynamic deck") as a strike force of naval aviation to protect the areas of duty of our NK and submarines
    - This will presumably reduce the requirements for the runway length and the overall dimensions of the aircraft carrier.
    - And therefore it will allow the use of "surrogate aircraft carriers" on the basis of standard modular UDC (which must be initially designed for these purposes). And this is exactly the same large batch for a variety of needs (transports, tankers, hospitals, rescue ships, "expeditionary" ships, helicopter carriers and UAVs, etc.), but much cheaper and more versatile (to the point that civil and military ships can be built on one "platform").

    Guys Tu-160 is a WEAPON CARRIER.
    Its task is to deliver weapons to the launch line. And that's all.

    There is no need to engage in obviously unnatural things comparing 1 aircraft with a strike GROUP ... the key word. By grouping.
    DIFFERENT TYPES OF VESSELS. Each of which fulfills its role.


    Tu 160 can FAST deliver missiles of impressive size to anywhere in the world.
    This is his task.
    Now for the missiles.

    As an example, consider only the aviation version of the Onyx anti-ship missile system. Its weight has been reduced, in comparison with the ship's, from 3 tons to 2,5 tons, and its length - from 8 m to 6 m.

    Yes, the size of the compartment is 12 meters and we will consider 6 meter missiles.
    Why not one meter? Why are these half-measures?

    This is Timokhin's craving for everything small, and since on Su-type airplanes ... you cannot hang anything more than 6 meters, it was about the aviation version.
    No accelerator.
    But the Tu-160 CAN carry larger missiles.

    I understand that the task of many authors is to "FORCE" the Tu-160 to fly into the zone where it will be shot down.
    And do not care that he has a compartment of 12 meters.
    An ingenious plan. Just super ...

    PS
    In the future, stealth drones will aim a salvo at the terminal site via satellites and a relay rocket.
    The role of the Tu-160 will end with the launch of missiles from the 1000-2000 km line "on the move".

      Or maybe a ballistic missile like the Chinese DF-21D flies from the depths of the continent towards the sea and looks out for AUG in the ocean from an apogee height of 500-700 km, then it begins to decrease while continuously adjusting its trajectory and so on until it enters the dense layers of the atmosphere, dense it overcomes layers without adjustment in a time period of less than 1 minute, during this time a ship with a length of 350 m at a speed of 15 m / s will not be able to leave the design point of the missile fall, of course the missile can be shot down on approach by the AUG ships, but if two fall on the aircraft carrier a dozen crowbars of the anti-tank type, only larger, then it will be a waste of work.

    Well this is.
    It is better to be beautiful and rich, this is certainly good.
    In my opinion, you need to build on reality!
    There is Kuzya! What no one but it is available!
    It's easy to get on pins and needles. The question is in the training system of the aircraft carrier's crew as well as the flight wing!
    Yes, there are problems. However, if Kuzi is not there, then the history of those flying from the ship will end.
    How does a British proverb say there? It takes 3 years to build a ship, 300 years to build a tradition!
    Kuznetsov was built after realizing the inferiority of Kiev and others like him, non-aviation carriers, with a pennant guarding wing!
    Therefore, Kuznetsov was commissioned and to work out the technology of takeoffs and landings as well as tactical use in the form that it is.
    The next aircraft carriers should be built in parallel with the creation of the basing infrastructure and, moreover, on proven basic elements.
    The nuclear power plant is similar to submarines. + In the preparation of oil bags. Well, in the same vein further.
    But you will not quickly form and prepare a deck team for the reception of aircraft and their release.
    And the efficiency of the aircraft carrier depends on their work.
    And if this school is interrupted. That recovery will cost a huge loss of time and resources.
    P.S. To understand what the technology of taking aircraft to the deck is, you just need to read the Amer history of the development of their air wing.
    How one type managed to shove more aircraft onto a flawed aircraft carrier. And at the same time ensuring their fast takeoff and landing.
    Yes, everything has changed. But the principles remained!
    In general, if Kuznetsov is done now? We will be able to talk about aircraft carriers in 50t years!

    Everything, of course, sounds beautiful and convincing. There are so many technical details that no one needs, but the main question is not voiced: "What is the goal, and how does it agree with the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation?"
    The times of World War II have passed, and the AUG has become a weapon of weakening states against very weak ones.
    Imagine a raid from the American AUG on the territory of Russia. The roof is moving ... And what will come of it? ..
    Further, there are very inconclusive comments about YES, especially about "Bears". I am sure that these machines will outlive the author of the article for many years.

      In the USSR, 949 loaves were created to combat AUGs and were quite successfully tested. Today, for the price of one aircraft carrier without an air wing, you can build 4 Ashes, so the conclusions suggest themselves.

    More 5 cents into a discussion about aircraft carriers. AUG or MRA?

    Quote: Artemion3
    Despite the obvious difficulties, I am in favor of building an aircraft carrier in today's situation, when Kuznetsov is still breathing.

    I heard this story a long time ago:
    When the Yapas at Pearl Harbor flooded a certain part of the US fleet,
    some big American navel has gathered their gurus
    (like our Tupolev, Lyulka - old, honored, redeserved,
    laureates of all kinds of awards) and said that the United States needs in a short time
    replenish what was lost in types and quantities, but with new weapons.
    How many years do you need to complete this task? They say -10.
    The US doesn't have that much time. You're all fired!
    And these old fighters have yachts, horses, estates. They work a day, two rest,
    rest on their laurels, as they say. And young people have been stepping on their heels for a long time,
    talented, but ... poor and very, very eager to have a yacht, horses and
    everything else, so we are ready to work 24,5 hours 7,5 days a week.
    In short, by the appointed time, everything they had planned had been built.

    Should we continue to cling to it in the 98st century, if XNUMX% of the time we fly subsonic?


    And with the landing gear retracted. Stop clinging to the chassis.

    ... If, for example, we take an inflatable balloon with a diameter of 1 m and a length of 3 m, which contains inside corner reflectors made of metallized film, then it will be able to simulate a target with an RCS of up to 1000 sq. m.


    And the men don't even know, they are doing all kinds of missile defense systems. And all you need to do is inflate the balloons on time.

    It makes sense to use TA where the coastal complexes Bal and Bastion are missing. Let's assume that this is the first 500 km from the coast.


    The key mistake here is that no aircraft carrier needs to be drowned; in the event of the destruction of its wing and especially the New Year tree in the dark at night, such as the Hawkeye hanging 300 km from our airfield, the AUG loses its combat effectiveness. And then all he has to do is hang the sausage from the airships. And the air wing itself will fly to our air defense, otherwise we can assume that the air wing was frightened, which means that our air defense has fully completed the task.

    Quote: Basarev
    That is, you admit that in a conventional war we will lose without a chance? And about the end of the USSR ... I have slightly different thoughts. It was not the evil west that ruined the country It's just that the Soviet economy was deeply unprofitable. Enterprises worked for a warehouse, released uncompetitive waste. Plus, the enterprises themselves have an outdated machine park, there are even a lot of German trophies. No organization of labor, whole departments where aunts drive tea ... Plus, these enterprises are hung with a bunch of obviously unprofitable objects that do not bring profit and do not even participate in production, I mean sanatorium camps. Plus, enterprises are regularly robbed, all the time they overwhelm the socialist camp, allied republics and national entities within the RSFSR with nishtyaks. Here is the bureaucratic apparatus bloated beyond all measure, moreover, the nomenklatura did not refuse benefits to itself - and dared to hypocritically call the people to asceticism. Returning to factories and products, it turned out that when no one began to support the factories, their poor products could not withstand the competition, and the factories naturally disappeared. Yes, their own rich people, former loyal party members, also had a hand, but, you see, the West is not involved here anywhere, the United States has nothing to do with it.

    It looks like modern Russia ...

    If anything, it's a laugh at yourself, and not at the respected author))
    I join the jokes about 5 kopecks, and I make a proposal that I have already voiced: let's create a fund and save real money there. Let's see what we save up for. Can we save 10 billion? This is 10 trillion per million people. Even during the war they did it. Okay, minus for now, and I'll write another comment.

    From time to time there is an artificial narrowing of the dispute about aircraft carriers. Only two things are discussed: price and efficiency (need). And in both aspects, there are a lot of unprovable assumptions. I have already thrown in the third aspect. It's about technology. Correctly it was said here that AB is the tip of the iceberg, and it is necessary to saturate the lower floors. And this is what is being done now.
    We are trying to imagine a situation in which we are building the upper floor without having the lower ones. However, this happened in the USSR many times, and this option is realizable. But is it worth doing? Sometimes, for the sake of technology, yes. This is an outstripping development, and the state has always been its locomotive. Now the state is doing it well in many industries, including the navy, so AB is next in line.
    We are lagging behind in terms of processors, but colossal efforts are being made to reach the required level. This is the construction of the upper floor at once, because we do not have a market for the constant sale of domestic processes and computers for accumulating money for gradual development. Priorities have been set, engineers are plowing. There will be several iterations and we will bridge the gap here.
    In other industries, we have the correct progressive development. For example, we are building huge processing plants, and we have begun to build ports. It can be seen that we are on the path of constant increase. This is how the Americans built and are building their fleet. They have a foundation, and they can develop aircraft carriers, and even build unsuccessful experimental ships to test new technologies. We do not yet have such a base. But.
    The strategist must look far ahead. The author views the future as a process of wilting, while the norm is development. And if today we cannot build an AB, then the idea of ​​it needs to be laid for the future, and not to describe money or terms in years, and not even combat effectiveness from the point of view of modern fleet and aviation, but the conditions (the state of the country, the fleet, and finance too), under which such construction can and should begin.
    In other words, the level of development of domestic technologies and production capacity should determine what we will aim at in the next step. Specificity on the enemy, combat capabilities, etc. - oddly enough, a secondary question (minus here). As soon as the industry says: "We will build an AV or AUG in the normal time frame, no question," the military will quickly tell you how to start all this correctly. Maybe at that moment it won't even be AB, because the power of production will give the military freedom.
    Now the country is simply pumping up muscle mass. We are not pitching yet, but we need to look ahead now.
