The NITKA ground complex in Crimea will receive the second carrier-based aviation regiment of the Northern Fleet

So far, the only aircraft-carrying cruiser of the Russian fleet "Admiral Kuznetsov" continues to be under repair, deck pilots aviation do not stop training, using the training complex "NITKA" in Crimea instead of the deck of the cruiser.

The Northern Fleet is rotating individual shipborne fighter aviation regiments (OKIAP) of naval aviation, currently conducting trainings at the NITKA ground test training complex in Crimea. As reported TASS citing a source in the Russian defense industry, the 100th OKIAP will arrive in Saki on MiG-29K / KUB aircraft, replacing the 279th regiment with the Su-33 and Su-25UTG.

According to the source, the ground-based complex will be used for the first time to train two regiments of carrier-based aviation at once. The repair and modernization of the NITKA complex was able to get off the ground only after the direct intervention of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Nikolai Evmenov. The situation with the training of deck aviation pilots for a long time remained unsatisfactory, the ship was put up for repairs, and both ground complexes in the Crimea and in Yeisk could not provide full training due to their unavailability.

In May of this year, information appeared about the conclusion of a contract for the repair of a complex located in the Crimea. It was reported about the conclusion of a contract in the amount of 500 million rubles. Work on the complex was supposed to be completed by the end of the summer, but there was no information about this. However, at the end of August, the 279th OKIAP arrived in Saki.

The NITKA complex in the Crimea completely repeats the take-off deck of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" and is used by deck aviation pilots for training. The second onshore complex, under construction in Yeisk, will be commissioned no earlier than the beginning of 2022.

and both ground complexes in the Crimea and in Yeisk could not provide full training due to their unavailability.

They built, built and finally built, but something went wrong. Russia!

[seregatara1969]

So not everyone wants the army for good. For example, the word "rotation", what does it mean, rotation? This is a fashionable nowadays non-Russian word, soulless. Invented in a thought, the more incomprehensible words, the easier it is to hide idleness. We give up our native language, what can we say about the provision of the army. Part of the government was sold abroad, the second part sympathizes with the first

[Sergey Averchenkov]

The use of a foreign language In modern times, there is no comparison with tsarist Russia - there all the nobility and more or less literate people chatted in French.

[seregatara1969]

Language or individual words? Speaking the language and inserting different words is a different level of culture! The deputies push their speech for an hour, without saying anything specific, with the help of words that are not clear to anyone from different languages ​​of the world, the more incomprehensible, the smarter they seem to themselves

[Serg89]

The funny thing is that he served in Yeisk in 2007-2008, in the training of military air defense 37115, and when they were thrown into the troops, they already began to build this springboard, where everything went

So, according to the assurances of the MOE, the NITKA complex should have been commissioned back in 2016.

On March 22, 2016, at that time, the head of the naval aviation of the Russian Navy, Major General Igor Kozhin, reported to the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu that the complex in Yeisk would be commissioned by the end of the year

But, as always, something went wrong and the timeline shifted to the right.

In March 2014, Crimea returned to Russia, and the Nitka complex in Saki was again at the disposal of the Aerospace Forces. So the complex under construction in Yeisk turned out to be superfluous - the Saki are much better suited for this (in terms of weather, climate, the number of sunny days and the proximity of the sea. The equipment prepared / ordered for Yeisk went to repair and modernize "Thread".
And Yeisk ...?
For a country that has only one non-working aircraft carrier, as many as two complexes of land imitation of an aircraft carrier ... it will be too much.

Doesn't fit.

The key is highlighted. That is, the terms for the Yeisk complex and the decision to put it into operation were announced 2 years after the Crimean complex returned to us. Moreover, in the fall of 2015, MiG-29KR and KUBR arrived in Yeisk for the 100th OQIAP.
PMSM, MO once again decided to suffer from excessive optimism, having put into operation two complexes at once - and once again it was overstrained.

The Ministry of Defense once again decided to suffer from excessive optimism, putting into operation two complexes at once - and once again it overstrained.

Apparently yes. They regretted the funds and efforts already spent on Yeysk, and decided to complete it and modernize the Nitka. A very dubious decision, but it was precisely with such arguments that they explained it. True, the idea was to send the equipment prepared for Yeisk to Saki for the modernization of Nitka, and only then finish building Yeisk.
The existence of two such complexes could be justified only by plans to build a series (namely a series) of new aircraft carriers, to prepare air wings for them on two complexes at once.

Quote: Alexey RA

Doesn't fit.

And our MO does not agree not only in this.
They start "serial construction of the Su-57" and do not build (depict some activity).
They announce that ... serial production of the Su-75 will begin in ... 2026 - 2027. ... and he does not even have a prototype, only a mock-up ... And the Ministry of Defense does not declare its desire to purchase such an aircraft.
... The Ministry of Defense, the government, the UAC, the USC, the UEC, Rostec, etc., etc., declares a lot of things.
As well as our "Unique Strategic Advantage" (according to Volodin) ... also declares a lot, promises ...
Words don't mean anything.
Even the words about the achieved achievements.
It's all rubbish and dust.
This is all for fun.
Really quite different.

Recently I returned from Novofedorovka (Saki region of Crimea), the pilots trained every day, the planes circled with the landing gear extended, probably practicing the landing approach. Except for SU-25 and SU-33. there were also SU-24s and it seems mostly SU-30SM. We flew strictly from 7-30 and until lunchtime, probably, so as not to interfere with vacationers, there was rarely a single aerobatics. Question. Does the SU-30 have additional plumage in front of the wings ?.

[alexmach]

Does the SU-30 have additional plumage in front of the wings?

Both he and the Su-33 have PGO

[Jacket in stock]

How did you distinguish the Su30 from the Su33?

That is why he asked that he thought that only the SU-30 had a PGO. Not sure, but on the dual wheels of the front chassis.

[BABAY22]

Twin wheels ....
Have you tried to count the pilots? On the Su-33 - one, on the Su-30 - two.

The Su-30SM has, the Su-30M2 does not!

[Maz]

Good news.

[Roma 1977]

HM. The best aircraft carrier is the one that cannot be sunk. Putin said and annexed Crimea.

[Bez 310]

The pilots of the 100th regiment also want to see the "velvet season" in Crimea.

[bayard]

Saki has wonderful beaches.
And a wonderful mud bath.

[Jacket in stock]

Funny.
There is only one aircraft carrier in Russia, but there are two ground complexes.
True, neither the aircraft carrier itself, nor any of the complexes are operational ...
But you can use a lot of money from the budget.

[1-Patriot]

I grab dislikes, but still ...
If you think so, an aircraft carrier is a WW2 ship that transported corn workers!
And in the modern world where, why?
in Syria, in fact, crap - 2 fighters drowned and went home!
In the same Syria and in general where necessary they can fly under their own power!

but they may not fly, especially if the neighboring countries do not give the go-ahead, which has already happened more than once.
If there is a task to fight overseas, then it is much more convenient to do it with an aircraft carrier.
The question here is goal-setting, i.e. But is it really necessary to fight there.

Where aviation from a coastal airfield will not have time to fly to repel an enemy air raid. And the border of this area is already 350-400 km from the nearest airfield.

[yfast]

Are they also practicing a short landing there? This seems to be the most difficult and emergency.

[Magog_]

On such a complex, the conditions of an avian-carrying ship are simulated, and the morning and evening breezes are used for various exercises: takeoff or landing.

[Alexfly]

Gorgeous, there are no decks, but training is supposed to ..... Are they flying through the outskirts?

Yes, I live in Saki, they fly almost every day! THREAD 9 km from me,
I don’t know why you write before lunchtime, they fly in the evening, and it looks like there were night flights too !!!

[dima314]

The first question is, for which aircraft carrier are the crews trained? Or is Thread the meaning of vigorous activity?
