The ship is the same course, or why Russian fleet?


Office of the President of the Russian Federation.
- Just one second. Commander of the Navy fleet to me! Was there a loss in the fleet today?
- No, no!
- Hello, George? A-4, by


The service of the Russian admirals is difficult and dangerous. Stormy attacks of media representatives, accompanied by daily press conferences and reports in the offices of higher instances. The allegations of corruption, negligence and improper performance of their official powers, sounding from all points.

The people are eager for bread and circuses: are there many chances for the nuclear-powered cruiser Orlan to defeat the American aircraft carrier group? When will the battle with NATO ships off the coast of Syria begin? Will Russian sailors be able to defend the Kuriles in case of possible aggression from Japan?

The intellectual stratum of society requires an immediate presentation of a clear concept of development and use of the Russian Navy over the coming years. Where is the course of our fleet? What are its tasks and opportunities?

It is possible to understand well the brave officers with gold admiral shoulder straps: what could be the answer to the question about the concept of using the Russian Navy, if the fleet contains the entire 4 of a ship capable of providing zone defense of a squadron. No matter how strong Peter the Great's TARKR and the three Atlant missile cruisers are, the US Navy has 84 spacecraft equipped with long-range anti-aircraft systems.

Despite the terrible statements of the General Staff, the absolute majority of Russian ships are not capable of hitting tactical targets deep in the coast. In this sense, the only unique ship of the Russian Navy is the Dagestan patrol ship stationed in the Caspian Sea - it was the first to install a module from 8 launch cells for the Caliber family cruise missiles (similar to the American Tomahawk).

In the absence of real positive News, admirals engage in fantasy and shock the public with a statement about the sending of strategic submarine missile carriers to the South Pole of the Earth.


Russian SSBN Ave. 667BDRM

The strategic missile submarine cruiser (SSBN) is not intended for dashing round-the-world trips through NATO storms, reefs and anti-submarine barriers. Combat patrol looks much more prosaic - two hundred meters deep, five-node move, minimal noise. The entire SSBN campaign carefully writes out in the ice fog of the GXNUMX, hiding from anti-submarine aviation thick shell of arctic ice.

It is worth noting that all Russian 667BDRM, Sharks and Boreas are designed for seawater temperature close to 0 ° - leaks will open in the tropics and serious technical problems will begin. And why should they tropics? - The range of the Bulava and Sinevy allows you to cover the “likely enemy” right from the pier in Gremikha.
Finally, combat patrols of the SSBN in the Southern Hemisphere have no practical meaning. Who are you, dear admirals, gathered to punish with a "nuclear sword"? Unhappy Zimbabweans or New Yorkers?

And suddenly - like a bolt from the blue - a message about sending the Navy to the aid of the fighting Syria! Finally, the navy will take part in the present case.


Large landing craft project 775


A lot of surprise caused the squadron of the Russian Navy. The main part - the big landing ships. BDK - specific vehicles, completely defenseless in front of modern means of attack. They themselves need a reliable escort, which is usually absent. Then why are these ships included in the squadron? Is a landing operation planned in the port of Tartus? Of course, there is no mystery here: strong BDK Polish built - one of the few Navy ships who are able to get to the coast of Syria.

The decision to send the Navy to the Mediterranean Sea gave the most positive result. Despite the shortage of ships, the sailors brilliantly fulfilled their task - the Russian military presence did not go unnoticed by foreign politicians and the media. Noise grenade worked - the West abruptly restrained its ardor against Syria.

But every trip to the Arab-Israeli conflict zone is fraught with great risk. Unarmed BDK can at any moment be hit from the shore. In 2003, the Hezbollah fighters bought a batch of Chinese anti-ship missiles and sometimes entertained themselves by firing at the ships going far from the coast - it does not matter to them, this is a peaceful Egyptian long boat or Israeli corvette Hanit.


Damage to INS Hanit, 14 July 2006. Israel was lucky - a rocket hit the helipad.
The ship temporarily lost speed, the "total" 4 of the sailor died

What will happen if an Injee firefire hits the side of a crowded BDK? And who then will answer for this? Surely again that crank with golden epaulets, who in August 2000-th sweetly broadcast from television screens: “There is a connection with the crew of Kursk. Air is being supplied to the emergency submarine. ”
However, this is just a terrible tale. I am sure that our guys will get lucky and everyone will return home alive and unharmed.

***

It so happened that in the second half of the twentieth century, aviation, nuclear weapon and ballistic missiles seized most of the important functions from the Navy. Something the fleet was able to return (placing the SNF on submarines), but the general conclusion is disappointing - the whole surface component: powerful nuclear cruisers, aircraft carriers, destroyers and frigates - all these ships lost their strategic "defensive" value. The navy has become a purely tactical tool to solve pressing problems.

This is easily seen by looking at the fleet of the most warring power in the world - numerous US Navy. With the exception of the Ohio 14 missile carriers, the entire US fleet is used exclusively to support ground forces in local wars. In total, the US Navy has two key functions:

1. Delivery of personnel, equipment, food and equipment to foreign shores (including covering transports at transoceanic crossings, trawling fairways, ensuring security of delivery and unloading at destination ports).

2. Fire support - a massive strike with high-precision cruise missiles on the first day of the war.

Having provided the transfer of thousands tanks to the Persian Gulf region and having “knocked out” Iraqi command posts, airfields and air defense systems with the help of the Tomahawks, American sailors can safely go home and “hang out” nights in taverns and nightclubs in Norfolk. They have nothing more to do in the war - then the Air Force and the Ground Forces decide everything.


The main one who goes to the left. In a combined-arms operation, the value of an aircraft carrier is negligible, but it would be impossible to wage a modern war without the help of Tomahawks.

If we consider the issue in a broader sense - the naval forces of various countries of the world perform dozens of other, less significant, but quite relevant tasks:

-Egis destroyers are included in the strategic missile defense system as mobile launch platforms for interceptor missiles. Alas, a major “problem” arises here: the flight of Russian ICBMs takes place along the shortest and most efficient route - through the North Pole. Those. for effective interception, destroyers should be placed in the middle of the Arctic ice, and this, as you understand, is unrealistic.

However, the Yankees know what to do - the Spacedard 3 interceptor missiles can be used to destroy enemy spy satellites and emergency spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. The interception is facilitated by the emergency mobility of the platform itself - the destroyer can take a position anywhere in the oceans.



- Protection of territorial waters. Violators, most often, are their own poachers, illegal migrants and drug couriers - work for boats and Coast Guard helicopters.

- Protection of overseas possessions. This graph is relevant only for the United States and the former colonial power of Great Britain - our country has no such territories.


Open covers of MK.41 UVP launchers on the American Orly Burk destroyer
In each of them hid "Tomahawk"

- Control of marine communications. A foggy concept, consonant with the terms "blockade", "deblokada", "isolation" ... Much depends on the country's position on the world map - for example, it is impossible to block Russia from the sea, because Russia's vital interests are in no way connected with the sea routes. It is no less difficult to imagine how China will block the United States from the sea or the Indian aircraft carrier Vikramaditya to go raiding the Atlantic. In this sense, the fleet lost its strategic function - a more reliable means appeared in its place - the “nuclear club”.

However, the concept of “blockade” is still relevant for a number of small players in the geopolitical arena. An example is the Israeli blockade of Gaza from the land and from the sea.

- The notorious "demonstration of the flag." The presence of a warship in any part of the ocean unambiguously hints that the state has its own interests here and is ready to protect them. However, everything is not easy here. The demonstration of power must be supported by political will and readiness to use this force. You need to be clear about your requirements and just as realistic to formulate your threats. Just to drive the cruiser to the shores of India or France, in the hope of "scaring" these countries, means throwing money away.


TFR "Fearless" on a long hike

- Special operations: ensuring the safety of navigation, covert surveillance of the coast, point landing of sabotage groups, search and rescue operations, delivery of humanitarian aid, the fight against maritime piracy ...

Sometimes as one of the most important functions of the Navy is called the task of "covering areas of combat patrols SSBN." In fact, this is a purely “disservice” - the underwater bomber does not need any help, and the ships and aircraft circling near it only unmask its position. In addition, in peacetime, it is impossible to prevent the flight of foreign anti-submarine aircraft in any way (unless they violated the airspace of the Russian Federation).

In the old days, the fight against strategic "city killers" was actual - alas, in our time it has become useless to put barriers in the way of submarines, modern missile carriers can launch missiles without leaving territorial waters.

***

What is the meaning of the existence of the modern Russian fleet, taking into account all the above circumstances? What is the most realistic scenario for the development of the Russian Navy? What does the Russian seafarers expect in the near future?

It is often said that the fleet should be well balanced. Correct, in its essence, the statement does not help in determining the future appearance of the Navy. The term “balanced fleet” merely means the compliance of the ship composition with the tasks facing the fleet. But what specific tasks facing the Russian Navy are not known even in the General Staff.

However, some conclusions can be made now:

The submarine component of the Russian Navy is one of the key elements of ensuring the sovereignty of our country and the most important factor of strategic nuclear deterrence. It is for these tasks that the Borey-type submarine cruisers are created - this is the basis of our fleet, its Main Task and the main purpose.

As for surface combat ships, let us be honest: despite the loud reassurances of the need for the emergence of "ocean combat groups" of the Russian Navy, no one is able to give a concrete answer: what role will these connections play and what tasks will be assigned to our sailors.

"We will fight in these waters, we have no others, and here we must make every effort, but try to solve this problem"

- Order of Admiral Essen on the Baltic Fleet

The glorious admiral well understood the limited capabilities of the Russian Navy, which are limited, first of all, by the geographical position of Russia. For a purely continental power, the fleet has never been a priority for the Armed Forces, usually performing auxiliary tasks on the flanks. In difficult times, Russian sailors preferred to sink their ships and fight the enemy on the coast - the fate of Russia was always decided on land.

Therefore, there is no point in taking an example from the US Navy or the Royal Navy of Great Britain. It is equally pointless to refer to the former glory of the USSR Navy - the Soviet Union had satellite allies and naval bases in both hemispheres of the Earth, the fleet served as a powerful link that allowed to link all the separate components into a single combat network. Now this, with all the desire, is not observed.



Following the precepts of Admiral Essen, tasks for sailors are always there - and recent events off the coast of Syria are a clear confirmation of this. The main thing is to try to clearly distinguish the functions of the Navy and build up power in the chosen direction.

First of all, a demonstration of the military presence in the zones where the state interests of Russia and foreign powers collide. Of course, for this purpose it is not bad to replace the BDK with more suitable means — for example, the upgraded heavy nuclear cruiser Orlan or the helicopter carrier Mistral. Despite their seeming uselessness, both ships have a formidable monumental appearance and solid dimensions - what is needed to display the St. Andrew’s flag. Escort - a pair of modern frigates or upgraded BOD.

Of course, there can be no question of conducting any wars far from home shores - for such operations, in addition to the Eagles and Mistral, hundreds of warships and support vessels are needed, which, of course, now there is no place to take. But you should not despair - Russian sailors are not faced with the task of “democratization” of countries on the other side of the Earth.

How all this will look in reality - time will tell, to make any accurate predictions about the future of the Russian Navy is completely ungrateful. As is known, in the Russian Navy they plan one thing, do another, and report the third. To understand what is actually happening is almost impossible.

        It seems to have dug deep, but the article does not leave a feeling of the surface of the article.
        Too one-sided: it’s good for them, it is bad for us. They can, we cannot.
        Minus because it’s impossible, with all our capabilities, we have ... People!
        People who do not need to be persuaded to defend their homeland - this is the first.
        The second - for demonstration, not such a large fleet is needed, for the Syrian missions the fleet does an excellent job, and this, I'm sorry, is the fighting! Well, who is brave to shoot boats? This is a sovereign state. And you need to be a dibil to cause a blow of his weapon on yourself.
        Third, Russia fought a little behind the cordon, where so many ships are needed - they are all on land, therefore, there wasn’t so much needed of the corresponding fleet, but they are always hunted for this, since they are cut off from everyone and this is their only fist, and against yus ship grouping, it is necessary to create a lethal non-swimming weapon - shot at - forgot = -1 100% (99.9%)

    -can buy from the states a used aircraft carrier, raise a hefty flag on it and show it to the small ones!

    Of course, there can be no question of waging any wars away from their native coasts - for such operations, in addition to the Eagles and Mistral, hundreds of warships and support vessels are needed, which, naturally, nowhere to take from.

                The charges must be substantiated. How am I involved in the sale of an aircraft carrier? What do I have to do with plutonium sales? In general, I am a believer and try to lead a righteous lifestyle, exposing evil whenever possible. Of course, it doesn’t always come out, but I try. You absolutely unreasonably and unreasonably attribute me to those people against whom I am ready to stand to death at any level and apply, if necessary, my entire resource, regardless of the proportionality of my actions.

                You played with words and for good should take your words back. Despite the fact that speech has moved to the plane of honor and dignity, I do not hold you angry because it’s not worthy in principle, and if you get lost, then you can’t be mad at you all the more. I ask you to continue to be careful in expressions and once again I ask you to justify your position, for the sake of your own good. The more you say without justifying your position, the more you discredit yourself in the first place. I know perfectly well and without you who I am and where I am going, but do you know about yourself what I know about myself - a question. Weigh what you say.

                  It was especially interesting to read about the BDK to Syria. Because as follows from the article, there are simply no other ships and they send the BDK. This is of course interesting. And the fact that these BDKs can carry a certain load in themselves, for some reason, does not occur. And that these ships were under the guise of armed comrades, did not sound either.
                  And about boats aimed at the south pole of the planet - this is generally a song)))) Rather, the author confused the poles a little. Nothing happens.

      Chegozh is not clear then? Perform prosaic transportation

      In 2007, Syria ordered 24 MiG-29 combat aircraft from Russia, but they have not yet been delivered, since international sanctions were imposed on the Bashar al-Assad regime. In connection with this, it was decided to sell part of them to other countries, for example, to Serbia.


      In the summer of 2012, Russia postponed the delivery of 20 Mi-25 combat helicopters to Syria until the "normalization of the situation" in the country. An informed source from Interfax then stated that Moscow was concerned about the aggravation of the situation in Syria and the military activity of the opposition, in which the Syrian authorities "cannot guarantee the safe acceptance of helicopters."



      "As for the S-300, this is really one of the best air defense systems in the world, if not the best. The best, probably. It is, of course, a serious weapon. We do not want to upset the balance in the region," the Interfax news agency quoted Putin as saying.


      On May 30, the website of the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, affiliated with Hezbollah, announced that an interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will be broadcast on Al-Manar and on Syrian TV, in which he, in particular, will announce the receipt of Russia's first batch of S-300. But Assad did not make such statements.

      Syria has a lot of Iskander complexes, T-90 tanks and other modern systems? The fact is obvious: Assad is fighting with outdated weapons, with those that were set back in the USSR and in the 1990s. The only exception is Shell C1, but they were delivered legally from 2008 to 2011 - as soon as international sanctions were introduced, the supply of SPRAK was turned off

      So you can tell tales about "secret transportation" of military aid to Assad on the BOD in kindergarten. Maximum - they brought two zinc cartridges and a package of aspirin

      "As for Russian supplies, let me remind you that Russian arms supplies to Syria are carried out on the basis of transparent internationally recognized contracts. They do not violate any international provisions. And they are carried out exclusively and entirely within the framework of international law," Putin said.

The only exception is Shell C1, but they were delivered legally from 2008 to 2011 - as soon as international sanctions were introduced, the supply of SPRAK was turned off

        And what's actually reprehensible? Well, they get that weapon with which they have long been familiar and trained to handle, as well as spare parts for the equipment that is. Vaughn and Najib in Afghanistan and Saddam in Iraq were left without spare parts, so what? The spirits entered Kabul on foot, while the Iraqis buried the planes in the sand and sold Saddam for a fraction of the price. Everything is going smoothly so far, they do not tease the geese with special "status" species, leaving room for diplomatic bargaining and do not leave without help, but what is being supplied, so, by and large, it should not be especially advertised. So there is no need to make much noise and demand, it is desirable to actually do what he said on time or in a timely manner.

          The man forgot to mention that at a critical moment, the supply of anti-ship complexes to Syria saved it and covered it from the sea. I forgot that the appearance of "Moscow" with, according to unofficial data, special. combat units to the main armament, greatly cooled the ardor of the "Western partners". The commentator forgot that the appearance of the Russian fleet relieved tension in relation to the 6th US fleet, which, apparently, decided not to go to the bank at that time. Much of what was delivered to Syria, we will never know because brought it on warships and under the guise of exercises. The author forgot a lot.

But it was through this "window" that England, at a critical moment of the war with the USSR, when Warsaw was surrounded by it, began to supply weapons to Poland, which would take a very long time for Pilsudski to arm the newly formed reserves and strike into the rear of Tukhachevsky's army. So, does the 150 km coast play a role in the war or not? :)))

Despite their seeming futility, both ships have a formidable monumental appearance and solid dimensions - what is needed to demonstrate the St. Andrew flag. Escort is a pair of modern frigates or modernized BODs.
                        And if this company included two modernized nuclear submarines of pr.941 "Akula", where each would have 250 cruise missiles on board, then there would be no smiles at the Russian fleet. As a last resort, if scientific thought in Russia is not able to modernize it for cruise missiles, then mine layers can be made of them.

    The answer to the question in the title of the article "Why does Russia need a fleet?" very simple: a fleet is needed insofar as potential adversaries of Russia have one. It is needed not to compete with them across the globe, but to defend its territory. A very good article by K.V. Sivkov on the significance of the Pacific Fleet: http://akademiagp.ru/kto-pravit-na-more-tot-pravit-i-na-sushe/. There is no question of building an expensive fleet, but the point is that it is necessary to have a fleet that can withstand a naval conflict near our borders and inflict maximum damage on the enemy. How will we, not having a sufficient composition of surface forces, defend against an enemy who has a strong surface fleet, for example, Japan? And the Americans will also come to the aid of the Japanese. Yes, we do not need aircraft carriers at this stage, it is probably cheaper to build ground airfields for naval missile-carrying aviation. But a sufficient number of versatile modern surface ships - missile destroyers, missile frigates and submarines - must be available, especially in the Far East, since there is now the most dangerous situation there.

But the Battle of the Philippine Islands, in which the Taiho was killed, fits very well into this list, since the Japanese also hoped for land based aviation there. But in the end, AB with half-trained air groups found themselves face to face with the superior forces of amers. Since the ground aircraft was destroyed during the battles over airfields in advance.

                        PLO has not yet been canceled. This is "one". Moreover, it is especially dangerous for attacking submarines, unlike SSBNs. Second, submarines have never won wars. Two attempts by the Germans failed miserably. Why do you think that something will change now? And third, no one is going to give up the PL. Below there are my posts, where I have described what ships our fleets should consist of. PLs are not forgotten anywhere. No diesel-electric submarines, no multipurpose nuclear submarines.

                        The Allied fleet off the coast of Okinawa consisted of 1 600 ships. Among them are 40 aircraft carriers, 18 battleships, 32 cruisers and 200 destroyers. - it would be a shame not to win


                        And what will prevent the Amers from concentrating such forces against one of our groups now? In the event of war, the Russian Federation will now be in the position of the Japanese at the end of WWII.
                        Those. victory amers you do not deny? Thank God. And there are always losses in war.

                        there was "Hermes" on Ceylon - did it help a lot?)))


                        Which was not a single fighter. And how could he help? In addition, it was used very ineptly. Instead of attacking Japanese ABs with swordfish under the guise of coastal fighter aircraft, he flew with the rest of the English fleet.

                        What does "Taiho" have to do with it? it was scored by the submarine Cavella


                        Yes Taiho nothing to do with. I just thought that I could have incorrectly indicated the name of the battle. I’m writing from memory. It was about the fact that the amers destroyed the Japanese coastal aviation, which was supposed to level their superiority over Japanese aircraft carrier aviation.

                        Did you know that most Amer aircraft in the Pacific were based on island ersatz airfields?


                        And you do not confuse with the Japanese? This is precisely how aviation was scattered about them. As a result, amers aircraft carrier groups destroyed Japanese airfields individually. Amers from land had a lot of aircraft. But basically they acted in the last stages of the war, when they actually bombed Japan. But how many amers lost planes on Guadalcanal when they acted from the coastal airfield against the Japanese fleet - this is not an advertisement for land aviation.

                        In the end, what are you trying to prove? What land aviation is weaker than deck?))


                        I am trying to prove that defense must be balanced. And include both land and sea components. That's all.

                        So you are not trying to understand that no one is stopping the Amers and our other well-wishers from setting up as many PLO corvettes as the Angles set up drifters in PMV and frigates Amers and Angla in DVD / If we don’t have another fleet other than submarines, then they will not need to spend money on counteracting it. And they will throw all their strength into the construction of PLO ships. After all, on the same Doenitz got burned. And "enigma has nothing to do with it." They were caught by aerial reconnaissance when they were recharging the batteries. Incl. and using radars later.

                        Of course flattened without the help of the fleet. Stopudovo. And Okinawa confirmed it well. Because the amers were able to concentrate SUCH forces due to the fact that there was no need to oppose the Japanese fleet, which actually eliminated due to losses and lack of fuel. It will be the same with us if we do not have a fleet.

                        Not just Taiho. IT on the Pacific from the submarines killed the heavy aircraft carriers Sekaku and Shinano, the American Wasp and the damaged Yorktown by then

                        So this, you probably are not aware that the amers deployed during WWII on the islands a huge number of rear units that were engaged in providing military operations for strike groups. They were engaged in logistics so that the advanced troops did not feel any infringement. Amer do not like to deny anything to themselves. In general, this operation is really quite instructive. but I’m afraid it would be too wasteful for us.

What islands and how many aircraft were based and at what time? Or links to research. Because one photo is one basing fact, which may well be an exception. Or it can be a Japanese airfield, used for any purpose, for example, to distill aircraft as a jump airfield.

                        June 3, 1942 The Americans struck the first blow: nine heavy B-17 bombers, rising from Midway Base, at 16:23 struck the transport ships of the Japanese group. As it turned out later, not a single bomb hit the target.
                        At 4:30 a.m. on June 4, the first wave of Japanese bombers and cover fighters launched. At 4:45 a.m., the planes landed and set off on a given course - 36 Nakajima B5N Kate torpedo bombers from the Hiru and Soryu aircraft carriers, 36 Val dive bombers from the Akagi and Kaga aircraft carriers and 36 Zero fighters , 9 from each aircraft carrier. Cover fighters were commanded by Lieutenant Sugani Minoru. At 6:20, an attacking group of 108 aircraft reached the atoll and hit the base, causing significant damage to it.
                        American fighters F4F-3 and F2A-3 (under the command of Major Parks and Captain Armstade), who were at the base, entered the battle and, despite heavy losses, shot down several bombers and at least three Zeros. Most of the American cars were shot down by Lieutenant Suganami fighters. 10 out of 25 planes returned, with 4 crashed during landing. The 221st air group was destroyed.
                        Anti-aircraft artillery achieved greater success: about a third of the attacking bombers were shot down.

                        This is, excuse me, stupidity. It is simply impossible to build ships faster than they will be drowned without effective anti-ship warfare.

                        During the war years, the States threshed planes, more than the Reich, Japan and the Soviet Union combined - in such circumstances, the axis was doomed


                        Not planes fight, but people on them. And the command that uses them effectively. On the 22 of June the USSR had more than ten thousand tanks, and aircraft superiority is not frail. However ... all this remained at the border as scrap metal. In the RPE, Russia in two TOEs had 14 full battleships against 6 among the Japanese. The result is Tsushima and Port Arthur. The Franks had more tanks than Hitler, with it, heavy and medium. You know the result yourself. So no argument.

                        Let Poplar and Mace fly, visit Washington
                        And it's a shame to die just like that ... right?


                        Isn’t it difficult to die so offensively? maybe life is better to live? In fact, the task of the armed forces is to protect the population, and not its death at the same time as the enemy population.

                        Because the Yankees built 160 aircraft carriers and 850 destroyers during the war years))) AMERICA INDUSTRY WINS WAR


                        I said that this is not an argument. There were victories over a stronger opponent in the history and I brought them. And I myself can attest from the experience of KSHI that 3-multiple superiority still does not guarantee victory, and at sea even five-fold.

                        What, even with 10 superiority, did the Yankees suffer huge losses from coastal air strikes?


                        That without a fleet, it is impossible to resist a landing by air alone. No need to look at one operation from the point of view of the whole war. It's not for nothing that I cited the example of the battle for the Philippines. The Japanese had a real opportunity to disrupt the amers' landing with the help of the fleet. In operations in the Philippines, they already had no such chances.

                        Please fight at about. Midway


                        Again, you are trying to illustrate a trend in one battle. The fact of the matter is that before the appearance of strong aircraft carrier groups, the amers also used island airfields in the same way. in the Philippines, on Guadalcanal, on Midway. For example, I don’t know that amers use aviation from island airfields heavily at the end of the war. With the exception of basing long-range bomber aircraft. Maybe you have data on the amer operation at the end of the war, in which large ground forces would take part?

                        The Yankees' problem was not in the land airport, but in poor preparation and weak aircraft


                        The Yankees' problem was in the minds of their stupid admirals. Which superior aviation forces could not use normally. They were just stupidly lucky.

                        In general, you pose the question incorrectly. If you rivet ten thousand aircraft, set up airfields for them, then perhaps they will be able to repel an invasion from the sea. But will it be cheaper than building a balanced fleet? I doubt it very much.

                        So yes. But you give several months to aircraft carriers. But the tanks, I think, will last longer, though the fuel will quickly end. During this time, survivors need to pack up and move as far south as possible.

                        Yes, a lot of that. Even in modern condition. By and large, if we reduce everything to the KSHI, then the confrontation between Russia and the United States and even NATO in a war using conventional weapons can be a very interesting war, at least for me, for the Russians. And if you create a normal fleet - not a Soviet monster, of course, but a normal enough fleet, then there will also be chances to fight back. But there is no point in talking about it, since everyone plans subjectively and believes that his plan is the best. But wagering gives 100% result. But ... I'm afraid this is too global a project. Although I would love to participate in it.

                        As for Okinawa, the Japanese were doomed. The ratio of forces is 1:10, with equal training, nothing will help here. No matter how "balance" the fleet - the battle is lost


                        That's exactly what they were doomed there. because the fleet was no longer there to draw back forces, or reduce the enemy’s advantage.
                        And compare with the same battle you mentioned about Samar. There, like a rakh, the Japanese fleet inflicted losses on the Amers and, if Kurita had not lost nerves, it could have put an end to - destroying the landing. Of course, this would not have stopped the amers for long. And they would still have gathered a new troop. But for this battle, the fleet was still the only option to win it. Even that was no longer in Okinawa. Not counting the Yamato kamikaze. But it would be better if he became a kamikaze in the Philippines. More sense would be.

                        The war was a deliberate adventure - the possibilities of industry in the USA and Japan were disproportionate. On 1, the Japanese ship amers answered 10. For one Japanese plane - a hundred.

                        Sherman was enough for me.

                        There was a small nuance - aircraft carriers refueled and replenished b / c at the airports of Leyte Island. As a result, the aircraft carriers did not have to adjust their course under the wind - therefore they were saved (+ help from the destroyers)


                        And what is it for? How does this confirm the strength of land aviation in front of the sea? That from the sunk AV planes escaped on land?

                        These are a pair of A-20 "Havok" attack aircraft, one of which was shot down by anti-aircraft fire during a raid on Japanese positions (Kokas Island). Where did land planes come from in the middle of the ocean ??
                        The answer is simple - they flew from the nearest air base


                        Who argues? Just TWO planes - compared to the seven hundred of the 3 fleet - that's cool. They cover the turtle like God.

                        The amazingly obvious answer is that you must be able to fight. The USSR, by the way, was able and tentatively inflicted 1,5-1,8 million losses to the Germans only in the 41st year, not having a numerical superiority in the troops actually participating in the battles.

                        When will you learn to count factors together, and not either-or?

                        If you rivet ten thousand aircraft, set up airfields for them, then perhaps they will be able to repel an invasion from the sea. But will it be cheaper than building a balanced fleet? I doubt it very much.


                        Will be. And it will take 10 times fewer cars to send all American vessels to the bottom, or to the docks.

                        Is it possible to calculate? in principle, there were such calculations in the Union. And they came to the conclusion, on the fact of the existence of the fleet, that the fleet is also needed.

                        about "balance", there is such an axiom - when the enemy has multiple numerical superiority, it is preferable to bury himself underground, be covered with armor and concrete, or hide under water.


                        You will tell about this to the French on the Maginot Line, dates on the Mannegraham Line, the SWF troops on the fortified areas of the Old Border, the troops of the Western and Reserve fronts near Vyazma, the Baltic Fleet sailors at the Riga MAP in the WWI, the sailors of the 1st TOE, which was afraid to stick out its nose and Port- Arthur, Royal Navy sailors who died on barrage drifters in the English Channel and Italians who drowned when Austrians hit the Otrant barrage. Etc. etc. Blind defense is the worst type of warfare. The enemy must be forced to fight in an unfavorable situation for him. A very good example is the attack by the Japanese Combined Fleet of the American amphibious forces to invade the Philippines. When the Japanese, with small forces, almost thwarted the actions of the enemy landing forces. But here it was just stupidly unlucky and the nerves passed. The battle for Midway Atoll is also an excellent illustration of active defense. An example of an extremely successful active defense on land can be the combat path of the 5th Army of the South-Western Front in 1941, but its death just became possible after Potapov was ordered to "bury".

                        This indicates the low training of the Yankees pilots, and nothing more


                        This suggests that without air supremacy, coastal aviation cannot withstand the enemy fleet.

                        At the end of the war, the Japanese tried to use aircraft carriers against the Yankees, but they died before even reaching the DB zone. In contrast to submarines - the largest loss of the US Navy in terms of casualties: the cruiser "Indianapolis", sunk by submarine I-58 on August 16, 1945


                        At the end of the war - a loose concept. The only Japanese AV that did not get to the theater is Shinano. But he has not even entered service.

                        After the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Japanese no longer tried to use their AB. Even with the reflection of the landing on the Philippines, the connection of Ozawa was already only a bait. And the main blow was delivered by artillery ships. So I don’t see where your statement is true.

                        When the enemy is numerically superior, it is preferable to use highly protected ships (cruiser / battleship) or secretive (submarines). They have a chance to inflict considerable damage to the enemy, unlike aircraft carriers, which will come from one bomb.

                        And now we open at least Vicki and look at the balance of power at the beginning of the war.
                        The personnel of 1: 1,6 on guns and machine guns 1: 5,4. Total superiority only in aircraft and tanks. Which, as subsequent events of the 41 year have shown, does not guarantee success. Without creating sufficient superiority in manpower. Moreover, in wooded areas and off-road conditions, tanks play a very small role, and aircraft greatly reduce their effectiveness.
                        By the way, the most impressive successes were achieved by maneuvering warfare, and not by sitting on the defensive.
                        And about "defended independence" - it's not even funny. Stalin did not need this "Phenicia".

                        I still didn’t talk about defense, but about ship classes


                        Ah, well, that’s another question. Simply, aircraft carriers can also be made armored, the Angles, for example, bother with this. But the amers did not want to repair armor on the flight deck after each battle. It was better to remake a light flight deck. But the amers were not badly armored. For example, the Lexingtons retained a significant amount of armor when remaking from battlecruisers. Yes, and essexes also had an internal reservation. By the way, not one of them, probably due to this, was killed. Unlike unarmored independencies. Only Japanese AB were cardboard. By the way, the armor did not help Lexingtn. Yes, and not a lot of hits were needed to send him to rest. As well as the armor and Musashi, who failed during the attack of Kurita, did not help. As she did not help his sidekick Yamato, when he was trampled under Okinawa. Well, earlier Ripalsu and POW. So also not a panacea.

                        And what should I do?)))

                        Well, not all, some of the small ABs were finished off during the bombing of Japan. But I mean, after all, the battle where Taiho died. after him, the Japanese still had ABs, but the Japanese mainly engaged artillery ships in the assault on the landing. Since for all the remaining ABs they had more than 150 aircraft with underestimated crews.

                        But the submarines were used until the end of the war


                        Because they are more difficult to detect than AB :).

                        The aircraft carrier is a specific vehicle. Due to the minimal combat resistance, it is suitable only for "raiding operations" (Ceylon, Pearl Harbor, raid on Tokyo) - where the chance of getting hit by return fire is minimal

                        In heavy offensive battles (Philippines, Okinawa) - where the chance of getting hit by an enemy is high, aircraft carriers suffer heavy losses

                        In defensive battles, with multiple superiority of the enemy, they die like houses of cards, not having time to inflict any serious damage to the opponents

                        forger. Burnt ruins are add-ons that ANY ship has. The armored flight deck meant that the ship was very easy to bring to a combat ready state by removing burned aircraft. What does the ability to fly your wing into the air mean - the main task of an aircraft carrier would be completed. So armor played a role. Destroying ALL aircraft carrier aircraft is not an easy task and this was extremely rare. In addition, if the aircraft carrier is not alone, then the surviving aircraft of the damaged aircraft carrier can be used from other aircraft carriers (as it was in the Pacific Ocean), even if unarmored aircraft carriers are used

A kamikaze blow and subsequent bomb blasts suspended under the wings of ready-to-take-off planes pierced a 6-meter hole in the armored flight deck. 11 planes burned in the fire; 8 dead, 51 wounded. The aircraft carrier crashed for 5 hours, losing speed, all radars and the ability to receive and send aircraft

                        the fire occurred on January 14, 1969, 70 miles off the coast of Hawaii, the Enterprise urgently returned to Pearl Harbor for repairs
                        Holes urgently patched, and on March 11 of the same year, the ship went on a military campaign to Vietnam
                        It is typical that the accident was not in vain - on August 12 of the 1969 of the year, Enterprise got up to the present repair in a dock lasting until the 1971 of the year


                        it is clear that it was not in vain. But at the same time, this aircraft carrier fulfilled its function. By the way, you have forgotten about the "Enterprise" of the Second World War, which was just as quickly patched up (because only he could close the holes at that time) and it went into operation, although in an amicable way it should have been scrapped.

                        Torpedoes are different. Underwater explosion of a couple of hundred kg of torpex + underwater damage - really dangerous situation

                        I could not find cases where heavy cruisers and LK died from one small-caliber bomb ("Arizona" can be omitted as an example, in Pearl Harbor the fleet was standing with "pants down" and open hatches) - usually WWII armored artillery ships did not pay attention to bomb explosions with a caliber of less than 500 kg

                        bad when 30 decked aircraft refuel


                        Well, amers were perverted with "fireproof" partitions, fire extinguishing systems. Etc. And I understand them. After all, they give a crew to drink, which will die, women give birth to new ones. But AB that is so out of order that when the armored deck is defeated without ignition in the hangar. And to fix it much faster in the first case. They said it themselves.

                        In defensive battles, with multiple superiority of the enemy, they die like houses of cards, not having time to inflict any serious damage to the opponents


                        Again. If you understand defense as a battle on the fly, or standing in a port and releasing aircraft from coastal airfields, yes. And if you strike at the flanks and rear of the enemy and spray his strength - NO!

                        That's the whole trick. Under conditions of enemy domination at sea and in the air, submarines work best


                        That's just what they did not affect. as well as AB and LC. So to talk about their effectiveness is not necessary.

                        Sorry, but you are bullshit. Having lost the initiative, it is necessary not to defend, but to intercept it. Or retreat, if this is not possible yet. A great example is the battles of the summer of the 1941 year.
                        Tactically, a sudden strike by the Nazis allowed them to take the initiative. Which our tried to return in the border battle with the help of counterattacks by mechanized corps. But unsuccessfully, there were reasons for that. Then they made a strategic retreat. Then there was another attempt to seize the initiative during the Smolensk battle. Which, by the way, almost succeeded. GA Center was stopped and our troops fought offensive. But the Germans were again able to seize the initiative, striking at the South-Western Front, which was in stiff defense along the Dnieper. After that, our troops switched to a tough defense, which led to the disaster near Vyazma and the enemy’s breakthrough to Moscow during a new strategic retreat, during which ours were able to find an opportunity to re-seize the initiative and strike at Rostov and Moscow.
                        And look. Everywhere where stupidly defended - a disaster. Kiev boiler and Vyazemsky (and also was Bryansk) - the largest boilers. And strategic retreats with an interception of initiative made it possible to stop the enemy (battle of Smolensk) or even go on a counterattack (Moscow, Rostov).

                        I would not underestimate the armor, the battleships went to the bottom after such severe damage that a ship like the same "Peter the Great" would not withstand in principle. Many types of weapons, such as "exocet", which in the wars of the second half of the 20th century were sent to the bottom from one hit by frigates and destroyers on the armor of "Iowa" will simply crack without much damage. 50k tonnes of displacement is serious, you can have on board hundreds of millimeters of armor steel, anti-torpedo protection, an excellent hospital, a cinema, and a brothel. Here you need a more powerful weapon, like the ZM-80 "Mosquito", but you can't hang it on every airplane.

                        The Finns fought with dignity - they exhausted the 10-multiple enemy forces and maintained their independence


                        Bullshit, the ratio of forces at the beginning of the war was almost 1: 1, as soon as the ratio of forces was brought to 3: 1, all the pillboxes were simply broken up by artillery and the Finns ran to surrender. The main losses of the Red Army fell on the parts performing forest detours, where there were no decisive commanders. In this case, even in such conditions, tons of weapons and ammunition allowed to stay. Finnish losses themselves may well be equal to Soviet ones, because artillery does not like to joke.

                        This suggests that without air supremacy, coastal aviation cannot withstand the enemy fleet.


                        But nothing that gaining dominance in the air is one of the main tasks of aviation, and any, even land, even deck. And if it does not reduce the enemy’s presence in the air to insignificant, then it’s just not up to the ships, but in modern conditions, when fighters can make up 100% of the Air Force all the more.

Allied losses were high, and the ability to sink boats just increased, along with the development of techniques for detecting submarines and their destruction. What affected in the future. So the 42nd year was precisely the turning point. And the United States at that moment, by the way, did not actually deal with the Atlantic.

                        Yes, there is delirium there by 50%, especially since they are not particularly worth believing in memories, because they were published after the 45th, i.e. under the occupation regime of the Anglo-Saxons in West Germany, and many memoirs in general in the USA and Britain scoffed! What else could they allow to publish then? :)
                        And about the memories of English submariners in general laughter. What can they know about their German colleagues? And what did they themselves sink during the 6 years of the war? :)
                        in the 42nd year there really was a significant turning point in the battle for the Atlantic, I do not argue. But this was not a Germans' loss, but a consequence of the adoption of new tactics in the Anglo-Saxon PLO, the connection of IBA shaving to combat submarines, a number of technical innovations on the detection of submarines, and the use of air-based radars. The Germans simply lacked their own IA to cover submarine-based locations in northwestern France, because they fought a war on 2 fronts, which is their main strategic miscalculation! But in September 1939, the Kreismarin had 57 submarines in service and how they fucked them up, didn’t they? :))
                        And you are kind, my dear, that from the middle of the 44th they began to receive submarines of the new generation, XXI and XXIII projects, with which the fleet would be saturated (and in the absence of an eastern front) I would not put Anglo-Saxons at all! They simply did not have enough time, they started the war early!

                        and this, in fact, why? Yes it was. This is just an indicator that the British kept their PLO at the level of the First World War, when they still did not know how to deal with submarines. By the 41st year, the Germans had much more submarines, and drowned them already almost more than they managed to build

                        I just do not deny that the Germans could have won the submarine war if they had not been drawn into the war with the USSR and the USA. The blockade was almost complete. If my memory serves me, then in Britain there was a moment when some supplies remained for a month or two. And all because of the submarines.

                    Nothing like this. Direct battles between aircraft of the USSR and the USA took place many times, and only the appearance of air defense systems drove the Yankees out of the Soviet sky. Plus all sorts of ridiculous incidents, which were then settled. The Yankees will not bring down each anti-submarine approaching an aircraft carrier. They will be trained in interception, but making sure that there is no threat will be left behind.

Then a pair flew up to meet, first one was squeezing from the side, and the second was from below, covering the lenses of the standard photo optics with its fuselage. And then, apparently, they got the go-ahead for shooting, so they began to press from the sides / from above, bringing our Tu-16 clearly to the aircraft carrier (they said which one, but I don't remember exactly). And when we got on the course, they showed us from the cabins to take pictures. The pictures turned out to be gorgeous, I saw them at the division headquarters several years later. This case then turned out to be quite noisy, since all this "acrobatics" spent a lot of fuel and had to go back in a straight line through Scandinavia.

How will we deliver these weapons? It is with the help of the BDK, but they need a strong escort, and there are almost no ships to escort - everyone is out of date.

        Some do without a head, apparently. For reference, 2/3 of global shipments are at sea. Amers use their fleet to defend their economic interests and project power. Who owns the sea - owns the world. Russia needs an ocean fleet to protect its interests.

In short, everything is in the past, coastal life, forget to compete with the maritime powers, although China and India do not complex here. If you, Oleg, remember Nikolai Ottovich von Essen, it is useful to recall how he, having become the commander of the battleship Sevastopol, prepared for a single breakthrough from the already doomed Port Arthur to join the 2nd Pacific squadron. Essen, a supporter of Admiral Makarov, could not imagine Russia without an ocean-going fleet, and if you pull phrases from history, you can quote anything you like to support your conclusions. Long-distance campaigns are needed, this is not only a demonstration of the flag, but also combat training. Order, simply, it is necessary to establish in the country, to end with thieves and bandits, to send good American advisers to three signs, then the fleet will be revived. For provoking the topic +.

            The second longest maritime border (16 997 kilometers) runs along the coast of the seas of the Pacific Ocean: Bering, Okhotsk, Japan. The southeast coast of Kamchatka goes directly to the ocean. The main non-freezing ports are Vladivostok and Nakhodka.
            Railways go to the coast only in the south Primorsky Krai in the port area and in the Tatar Strait (Sovetskaya Gavan and Vanino). The coastal areas of the Pacific coast are poorly developed and populated.

            No, this is a statement of a geographical and political fact. Yes, Russia with its "facade" goes out to the northern seas, but the zone of interests of many countries, including China, is now shifting to the Arctic. The ice in the Arctic is melting, this has already been recognized by scientists, including ours, in the foreseeable future it is assumed the possibility of navigation without the help of icebreakers, that is, ice ceases to be an obstacle for foreign ships. There is no point in competing with the United States in terms of the number of warships, but the fleet should not be castrated, but full-fledged in order to perform all the functions assigned to the Navy. A country like Russia cannot do with a coastal fleet. In addition to the Arctic, we also have the Kuriles, and national interests in other seas cannot be limited to one demonstration of the flag. These are obvious things, if for you such populist slogans, in working for the public, there is no point in discussing this, especially since, rather, the denial of the role of the fleet for Russia can be considered populism, with an appeal to the suffering ones to have sausage instead of the army.

            The project of creating an armored car “Kozak”, taking into account the experience of leading countries of the world, is currently frozen. An army SUV with a purely Ukrainian name was first shown in 2009.

            He was personally presented to Viktor Yushchenko on Independence Day of Ukraine. And although there was a lot of talk about the active use of this car in the army, it didn’t go beyond words. There is information that two Kozaks are waiting for a “good future” on the outskirts of Kiev.

            "Kozak" was developed for the forces of special operations by the scientific and production association "Practice". The car has an anti-mine bottom structure, and the body is made of three parts, which are fixed to the chassis separately from each other.

            This car could be used as part of the army and peacekeeping units, in use during special operations.

            But unfortunately, the leadership of law enforcement agencies did not find application for this car. Although during Euro 2012, security officials were in dire need of such a car, it was decided to purchase civilian versions of the Hummers and L-200 pickups that were completely unprepared for special tasks.

And they forgot about the grenade cruise missiles, they fly 2000 km. True submarine fleet can only be used.

    The author’s analysis is correct - there is no clear and precise role of the Navy in the muddy modern military doctrine of the Russian Federation. The conclusion is also correct - in any case, it is necessary to improve the SSBN as the main part of the nuclear triad. As for the surface fleet, the copying of the US Army AUGs is indeed a dead end. They simply have no other choice - all world problems are brewed and solved in the Old World, which means that the United States is forced to drag across the ocean to take part. What have we forgotten on both American continents? To defend their coast and inspire respect, neighbors need to have new means of landing amphibious assault forces and ships that can provide fire support, air defense and protection from the enemy’s Navy.

    The article is very entertaining, like many others of Mr. Kaptsov. I believe that the frequent provocative message in his articles is not accidental, but has a hidden specific meaning to make people think about global and strategic issues not only among members of the forum (who are mostly only letters with Jews ... to compete on the topic of whose tanks are better) but also people with gilded admiral's shoulder straps, who, perhaps, from time to time read this site. :) To the author "+", for tireless attempts to get away from the routine of speculating the performance characteristics of various military engineering structures and provoke a lively discussion of the current and future strategic tasks of the Navy.
    Let me voice my understanding of the tasks of the fleet today. :)
    Alas, we can't compete with the guys under the flag of the prison uniform in the ocean. Even more so with NATO. Your shores, islands in the Far East and offshore economic interests around the Russian Federation can and should be protected by ships of the SKR class (frigates), MPK, border corvettes and patrol boats. But these are the daily tasks of the near sea zone, which, in general, is nothing more than the defense of what we have! The presence of a powerful multi-type MA, both patrol and IA, IBA, helicopter with an extensive coastal-based network, is essentially the same, i.e. support of their NKs in their near sea zone. For small showdowns such as the 2008 war, possible further Norwegian claims and the Baltic claims of former "friends", these forces will be quite enough. But the ships of the far sea zone, the ocean, are also needed, albeit in a more limited number than the USSR had them, than the USA has them. Protecting one's interests in the 200-mile zone is nothing more than defense, by analogy with a combined-arms frontal battle, and the presence of ocean-going UGs and a squadron of multipurpose nuclear submarines is already at least a counteroffensive. I think the priority is now clear. The author says that now we have no allies in the distant seas and countries, but since only the treacherous orientation towards Zionist America will leave the "minds" of the country's leadership, then, I assure you, allies and true friends will immediately appear. And to have a serious oceanic military fleet, albeit a very small one, in order to be respected in the international arena, is it worth it, isn't it? :) After all, when we leave the house on business and wear clean, high-quality generally accepted in society and sometimes beautiful and fashionable clothes, not because they are warmer or more functional than drawn, leaky leotards and an old worn sweater, but because we are not indifferent to what other people think of us and how business partners will look at us. So why should everything be different with the country? :)
    Today our country is not ready in principle for real, possible DBs in the ocean with the world's leaders of the planet! Neither economically, nor technologically, nor politically in the first place! But if you try again to primitively "catch up" with the fleet of leaders in terms of the number of units, as Tsarist Russia once did, then this is an unambiguous dead end! what is needed is an asymmetric response, the creation of a new one both in armament and in the tactics of its application, which will nullify the current superiority of a number of countries at sea. The history of the 2nd MV and the German path of war at sea is a vivid example of this. Or, the heyday of aircraft carriers at the beginning of the 2nd MV in spite of the prevailing dominance of shock artillery ships (battleships, main warships).
    The author somehow passed by the multipurpose nuclear submarines and submarines, which is very strange, having only touched on the SSBN. But in vain! The function of multipurpose nuclear submarines is very multifaceted and profound, and the frightening effect is no less effective than the presence of an Orlan-class cruiser at sea. Your dearly beloved war for the Falkland Islands is an example of this - the sinking of the Argentine cruiser by the British nuclear submarine.

    Everyone knows the sayings of Peter I and Alexander III about the fleet, that without it in any way. But we must honestly admit that then these words were spoken in a different situation. Then there was no aviation and missile weapons.
    Following the results of the First World War and the Second World War, the following should be said.
    Black Sea and Baltic Fleet locked off their shores and destroyed once or twice. Their capabilities are very limited.
    Northern Fleet. Most of the time is locked in ice. Freely, relatively, only submarines can act. Surface ships are extremely limited in scope.
    Pacific Fleet. Locked by Japan. And the point here is not the notorious Kuril Islands. The Laperouse Strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido is completely frozen. In addition, he shoots well with Japan. The only good strait is the Tsugaru Strait, between the Japanese islands of Hokkaido and Honshu or to the south, but again completely under the control of all the same Japanese.
    It makes no sense to compare with the United States - their coastlines are not covered by ice, they are actively navigating. Plus huge overseas territories and satellites. So it goes.

      You apparently were not in the Sea of ​​Japan and the sir didn’t even open it! The Strait of Laperouse never freezes at all!! The Tatar Strait freezes in winter, for 5/6 months between the mainland and Sakhalin Island!
      Northern Fleet. Most of the time is locked in ice. Freely, relatively, only submarines can act. Surface ships extremely limited space

      One of the main reasons for the creation of the Arctic squadron in the 30s under the USSR, which was later renamed the Northern Fleet, in the most difficult conditions of the Arctic and the most difficult conditions for ships and parts of the Navy based there, was precisely the fact that the Kola Bay is located in that part of the Barents Sea, which does not freeze, partly due to partial washing by the warm Gulf Stream. The bay itself is partially captured by ice, but not when this western part of the Barents Sea itself. The exit from the main bases of the CSF is not limited by anything, neither by ice, nor by countries. I think we won’t count Norway, a country with 7 million people is not a rival to us! The fact that the passage to the north and east along the Northern Sea Route is closed by ice 9 months a year does not mean that the fleet is locked in its bases! The problem of access to the Atlantic for the NK fleet exists at the turn of the islands of Britain-Foresike-Iceland, yes, this is true. But the exit from the base in the Barents, Norwegian seas is not locked by anyone or anything!
      The Black Sea and Baltic Fleet are locked off their shores and are destroyed for one or two. Their capabilities are very limited.

      They are not "locked" on their shores, but in the event of war, they are blocked in the waters of their seas, i.e. cannot leave them through the natural straits. And then only if these straits are closed by the countries that control them, such as Turkey and Denmark. But these seas themselves are at their disposal. Destruction of these fleets on these MTVDs is a very controversial issue and concerns the tactics of using these fleets, the thoughtfulness of the actions of the command and the preparedness of the coastal support structure.

    Here, I agree with you on the effectiveness of nuclear submarines, which can also deal with the enemy fleet and get enemy territory with ballistic missiles.
    At the same time, the coastal zone should be left to the "border guards", the FSB Coast Guard and, possibly, the Ministry of Emergencies.

    1945-1955 - support of ground forces in the coastal direction;
    1955-1960 - violation (disruption) of ocean-sea communications;
    1960-1970 - destruction of enemy naval strike groups and destruction of ground targets;

    Does Russia need a fleet? The question is stupid.
    The normal question is: WHAT fleet does Russia need?
    To understand which fleet we need, we must understand what tasks our fleet must solve.
    I see the following tasks that the Russian fleet must solve.
    1. Coastal defense and base defense.
    Russia has huge landing coasts. The most important in this regard is the Black Sea coast. Since the Black Sea Fleet together with the Caspian Flotilla covers the flanks of our Caucasian group, the most modern and combat-ready. Which may set offensive tasks. Therefore, the landing on the Black Sea coast, or on the Caspian, withdraws enemy troops to the rear of this group. Or makes it weaken its impact force to protect the coasts. Not to mention the developed transport infrastructure, which can allow development of active hostilities in the most economically developed regions of the Russian Federation.
    The coasts of the northern seas are less important economically, but they have a significant infrastructure of merchant and military fleets (ports, shipbuilding and ship repair yards). The same can be said about the Baltic, however, there are already anti-Russian bridgeheads in the Baltic states without landing here.
    The defense of the coast of Kamchatka, Sakhalin, Khabarovsk and Primorsky territories, not to mention the Kuril Islands, is possible almost exclusively by sea forces. Since the land road network is underdeveloped in the Far East.
    How is this defense carried out at present? As for the bases, the main part of the defense is to ensure air defense against attacks by missiles and enemy aircraft with the help of air defense systems, including air defense systems, air defense systems and IA. To counter the enemy naval grouping, land missile systems and attack aircraft can be deployed.
    But it’s impossible to defend all airborne hazard directions with these forces. Land anti-ship systems do not have sufficient mobility to cover all possible landing sites. Against the same air force striking units, the enemy can concentrate superior forces of sea-based aviation. Apart from striking at airfields based.
    To delay the landing of the enemy, you can use minefields. But without cover from the shore, or by the fleet, mines quickly settle out.
    I also draw attention to the fact that modern ships have very high protection against missile weapons and air strikes due to the use of naval air defense systems and breech systems. In Soviet times, a regiment of long-range bombers was painted to destroy the AUG alone, regiment for the destruction of the AUG, i.e. the loss of the regiment would be tantamount to its destruction. And this is in the presence of a powerful Soviet Navy.

    2. Providing shipping.
    This, of course, is not about anti-offensive operations during the WWII or WWII. Here we can rather talk about ensuring the delivery of goods to the union states such as Syria or Cuba. Which may be blocked by administrative measures.

    3. Anti-piracy actions.
    Unfortunately, this is the reality of our days. Moreover, there are already at least two pirate areas - the Philippines and Suez.

    4. Support for special operations in regions remote from the territory of the Russian Federation.
    Those. in the event of a threat to the interests of Russia, or its citizens (for example, the evacuation of citizens and property from the conflict zone), the fleet should be able to ensure the transfer and deployment of special operations forces and provide fire and air cover for their actions.

      Unfortunately, the Black Sea coast has remained with Gulkin x ... th! Anyway, today you need to protect your coastline from the sea landing and not at all with the fleet, but IBA MA, coast-based missile defense system, mobile coastal batteries and minefields of course! Namely, the presence of a perfectly armed and trained 58 army in the Caucasus makes a sudden landing operation on our Black Sea coast extremely unlikely. And in general, the Caucasian coast is pinned to the mountains, which is not a buzz, we will not expand normally. Good landing sites in the Novorossiysk region and on the Sea of ​​Azov, but hardly anyone will snoop into Azov, if not suicide.
      Therefore, the landing on the Black Sea coast, or on the Caspian, withdraws enemy troops to the rear of this group.

      And who will arrange for us naval landings in the Caspian, if not a secret? Iran? Interesting. :) Why would he suddenly? Maybe Azerbaijan? Very funny! Forum users from Azerbaijan let them answer for their cunning plans! And most importantly, what kind of melt. will he do this with amphibious means? On fishing vessels? Or Kazakhstan? Even funnier.

        Mobile BBs are much less mobile than the enemy’s fleet. And coastal aviation is vulnerable at airfields. Therefore, mobile anti-ship missiles are more profitable to use after all, in the defense of bases and areas adjacent to them. And no one refuses from coastal aviation. But, again, at present, the ships of all fleets are just well protected from aviation and missile weapons by air defense systems.

        Namely, the presence of a perfectly armed and trained 58 army in the Caucasus makes a sudden landing operation on our Black Sea coast extremely unlikely


        And if 58 I go to chase rodents, aisers and help the Armenians against the Turks? Who then will cover its rear from the landing?

        And who will arrange for us naval landings in the Caspian, if not a secret? Iran? Interesting. :) Why would he suddenly?


        Of course, Iran. Iran plays its games. Today we are on his way against the Amer and for Syria. And tomorrow, the question of dividing the oil reserves of the Caspian Sea may be raised. And Iran has, to put it mildly, far from the last armed forces in the region, including and ship grouping in the Caspian.

        That is exactly what, therefore, maneuver by defensive ground units is not possible. Those. you must either inflate the defense in all important directions, or make it maneuverable by sea.

    Thus, the Russian fleet should include the following permanent operational formations.
    1. Northern Fleet. Black Sea Fleet, Caspian Flotilla. The composition of these compounds should provide maneuverable coastal defense under the cover of land-based aviation and land-based anti-ship missiles. Rapid transfer to dangerous areas of the Marine Corps and land systems of RCC. With the provision of anti-aircraft defense and air defense. These tasks can be solved by small artillery and missile ships (corvettes and boats) of the coastal zone, diesel-electric submarines, mine-layers, minesweepers. And also MDK.

    2. Pacific Fleet.
    Given the size of the potential theater of operations, covering Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands is uneconomical. Since it will require deployment of maximum forces in all these directions. Therefore, the Pacific Fleet should be aimed at carrying out counter-landing, together with land-based aviation and airborne forces. This is especially true of the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka.
    For this, the Pacific Fleet must have a powerful group of surface strike ships in the ocean zone. The structure of which should include ships of the destroyer class, a frigate, perhaps several large missile cruisers. As well as multi-purpose submarines and diesel-electric submarines. Which, in cooperation with land-based aviation, can briefly gain dominance at sea in a selected area in order to carry out an operation to destroy an enemy landing force, or a base that provides enemy landing operations. And provide fire support for the landing. Naturally, TSh, MZ and BDK are necessary.

    3. Given the developed shipbuilding and ship repair base in the Baltic, as well as the size of the theater of operations and the presence of bridgeheads in the Baltic states, a permanent fleet there is not particularly needed. It is quite possible to get by with temporary formations of ships sent for repair, modernization and undergoing combat training after construction.

    4. To ensure maritime transport and anti-piracy operations, detachments of transport ships and ships of the oceanic zone, such as frigates, should be deployed in all fleets, which could ensure their safety from "accidents" that can occur in the ocean with an unarmed single ship. These ships should be able to provide the potentially necessary volume of traffic and presence in pirate areas. From these same forces, temporary and / or permanent connections can be formed for various small theaters of war - like the Mediterranean, where we do not need to hold strong positions.

    5. Fleet of the Open Sea.
    For special operations and for representative functions. It is necessary to have 1, and preferably 2 (in case of long repairs and modernization of large ships) shock groups. Which should include AB and several large missile cruisers with the corresponding escort from frigates and multipurpose nuclear submarines. For the transfer of special operations forces, it is necessary to have a BDK and high-speed transport ships.
    In addition to providing special operations, such a connection can provide, for example, moral and informational support to the allies, being directed to their coast. And to help them repel the attack, together with their fleet and aircraft.

    The article is sad, but in general, IMHO, dear SWEET_SIXTEEN is right. The dream of the "ocean fleet" should be postponed until better times and focus on the nuclear submarine.
    I only disagree with the fact that we need "ships to display the flag." Why waste money and energy on toys?
    And I think that for the Pacific Fleet on surface ships it is necessary to "make an exception." They are needed there.
    It is very doubtful that we will be able to keep Japan alone Ash. The nuclear weapons are not applicable against her. The cat wept over there.

      Of course we can't do it with Ash alone, I agree! But have you noticed that lately, after the tsunami and Fokushima, Japan has almost quieted down on the topic of the "northern territories"? :) And for some reason she constantly began to hysteria that "some unknown submarine seemed to be seen in their waters "or near. Have you ever wondered why it would be? Or maybe it was the tsunami that caused the Focusim tragedy of a non-natural character?

        The point is that since 1945, Japan, to put it mildly, has been very dependent on the United States, and for the Americans, China’s main opponent. Accordingly, Japan’s main efforts are now directed at confronting China. Plus, the Korean problem.
        But at any moment the United States can "give the go-ahead", and then all of Japan's attention will be turned to us.

          Intervention From above it is certainly not bad and tempting, but ... for some reason, the epicenter of that earthquake was a vokurat at the fault of tectonic plates, which is by no means obligatory and a rarity at all ?! In the vicinity of the epicenter, a release of cesium, a radioactive element was detected, which is very strange and indicates a nuclear explosion, don’t you think so? :) The team of the Amer ship that arrived there first (why should they climb into a simple earthquake epicenter) received serious radiation doses!
          Fiction say? :) Once upon a time, everything was fantastic: both airplanes, and submarines, and missiles and nuclear weapons! The fact that the USSR has been developing the theme of creating a management of tectonic shifts for 30 years and creating the strongest tsunamis with it is no secret. I did not expect such innocence from you, you thought more knowledgeable, I'm sorry. It is clear that no one openly admits this, but it is not necessary. Hinted, put in place. The Japanese hopefully realized that if something happens, 50% of Japan will simply be washed off into the ocean! The network is full of videos where our scientists, who used to be engaged in this Voros, openly say that creating an artificial wave (tsunami) of about 70/80 meters in height is not a problem today! The sensational tsunami in Southeast Asia in 2003 was caused by a wave of 10 meters! And in Indonesia, more than 300 people died from it. Look wider and the world will smile at you!

              I agree that earthquakes are accompanied by similar effects. But is the release of radioactive cesium, which is evidence of a man-made nuclear explosive and a sharply increased, dangerous for a person, radioactive background of the place are the accompanying factors of earthquake? And this is even taking into account the thickness of sea water and currents, which quickly neutralize the consequences of the application of nuclear weapons.

            In general, a rarity is an earthquake where there are no active faults. In Western Siberia, for example.
            The center of the earthquake was at a depth of 40-50 km. What processes occur at these depths and how to influence them, we present purely theoretically, based on geophysical data.

              No, 99% of earthquakes occur in areas with "unstable" geology, that is, with increased activity and so on. faults in this case are not a guarantee of cataclysm. Vaughn Ural, Mountains, fault line tectonic plates, so what? Are there often earthquakes? And just the epicenter of the eruption, clearly along the fracture line of the plates, is not deserted, rather not a fact!
              The deepest well, I recall, Kola is a little deeper than 12 km. By the way, she showed that the theoretical constructions about the deep structure of the Earth are not entirely true.

              I agree with you here more than. But I myself do not know this theory more than the average man. There, it seems that the places of the greatest stresses at the joints of the plates are determined, the minimum nuclear charge is used as a type detonator, the rest is done by the ready-made voltage energy of these tectonic plates, i.e. in part, everything naturally happens. Therefore, it is difficult to detect and prove anything! A fault shift forms a tsunami. The only question is to determine the fault lines in the sea (on land, on the territory of another state, it is problematic to lay nuclear weapons) and to find the places of their greatest stresses at this time.
              So for the creation of tectonic weapons there is not even a reliable theoretical basis. Earthquakes have not yet been reliably learned to predict, and you scare the Japanese with tectonic weapons

              Well, I would not be so categorical that there is no reason for that! The whole world after the 91st is concerned about this when leaks in our harrow together with specialists on this topic occurred. :)
              And I do not scare anyone, you shouldn’t, I read, analyze, come to conclusions, read the conclusions and assumptions of others on the network and conduct parallels. For me, this is a pretty clear picture, especially against the background of Japan's unexpected "pacification" on the issue that it has been talking about for 50 years!

                So I'm talking about the same thing, you just misunderstood me. Unstable geology just involves ACTIVE faults. And in the Urals, their activity has passed a long time. There is now no strong movement of the plates. Figuratively, you can compare the earth's crust with the skin. The Urals is an old, healing wound, a scar. If you move the skin, it no longer hurts, it can itch only slightly. But in the Far East, wounds are fresh and there is constantly shifting the skin, then stretch it. That wounds hurt and do not heal - earthquakes, volcanoes and other joy.

                On the scale of geological time in the Urals, meteorites very often fall! laughing
                And earthquakes happen, only mainly of man-made nature. By the way, even they have not yet learned to confidently predict and, especially, use. Although already at these depths everything has been studied in detail.

                And just the epicenter of crushing clearly along the line of breaking the plates is not painful, rather not a fact!

                Here, too, is not so simple. The fault itself, it's not some clear plane a meter thick. This is a zone up to several km wide, if it is a deep fault of great length. In addition, the epicenter is the projection of the center of the earthquake (hypocenter) on the surface of the Earth. And if the fault is inclined, and off the coast of Japan they are mostly such, then the epicenter on the surface of the earth will shift away from the fault. The hypocenter is still in the fault zone, at great depths.

                In theory, so far. But this is where the theory ends. If the places of the greatest tension can still be justified somehow, even with a pitchfork in the water, then the number of charges, the place of the explosion, the depth of the charge can be calculated or determined by fortune telling on coffee grounds with equal probability.
                So yes, while I am categorical - there is no reliable theory for the development of tectonic weapons. At this stage, one can throw atomic charges into a deep-sea trench and wait for an equiprobable event of three: 1) nothing will happen except radiation contamination of the ocean floor, 2) Japan will suffer to one degree or another, 3) both Japan and the Kuril Islands will go under water and even Sikhote-Alin, and the tsunami to reach the Urals.

                And a clear picture of Japan's "pacification" is emerging because our media, against the background of Fukushima, are simply not interested in the annoying Japanese screams. However, if you read the Japanese press in the original, then maybe ... but it cannot, the Japanese, I think, are also more interested in Fukushima than about the northern territories. Not only is something new, but also dangerous right in the house, what kind of territory is there.

                    Yes, it’s very interesting, for example, in Iraq from January 17-19, 1991 out of 4700 sorties 600 It was carrier-based aviation, and this is clearly more than 10% if you are friends with math, so minus the lies.

                    I really don’t understand, then you are promoting the US army, then vice versa .. what
                    During combat operations, on the contrary, AUSs with all the consequences can be created from the AUG, they are useless unless in Afghanistan because of geography ... it is effective to use carrier-based aviation 200 miles from the carrier ..

                      It seems you are beginning to understand something ...

                      4700 sorties: 4100 from coastal airfields, 600 from decks (14%)
                      It turns out that the main role is played not even by aircraft carriers - the overwhelming majority of sorties were made by ordinary air forces

                      At the same time, it is simply incorrect to compare the combat load of the deck "Hornet" with the combat load of the powerful F-111 or F-15E - in fact, the contribution of deck-based aircraft was even less!

                      Interesting details about Yugoslavia:
                      The only aircraft carrier took part (3000 sorties versus 30 sorties of the NATO group - only 000%). At the same time, "Theodore Roosevelt" arrived only on the 10th day of the operation (before that there was bad weather over the Adriatic).
                      Amer aircraft carriers did not participate in Libya (contribution - 0%)

                      2600 aircraft took part in Operation Desert Storm, not counting turntables, various Apaches, etc.
                      In Yugoslavia, the NATO group consisted of 1000 aircraft.

                        The main advantage of AUG = mobility can appear where there are no loyal countries and bases within the radius of a military solid fuel and good survival ... coastal airfields coordinates are known can be bombed with the same cruise missiles, damaged takeoff and everything, unless of course there is no vertical take-off .. and coastal aviation is limited to radius of action = it will need refueling in the air, of course, the bombers have a much higher range, but that without cover, they run into decks ..

                        In remote areas of the Earth, the Yankees operate even easier - they rent any civil airport for a while (as it was in the "Desert Storm" - they occupied all the nearby airports of the UAE, Saudis, Jordan)

                        So only because the United States has aircraft carriers and helicopter carriers, none of the coastal states can refuse to rent military bases and airports. In the old days, you could declare yourself a socialist country and get a reliable Soviet roof. And now all states that do not want to suddenly find out that they have problems with democracy have to provide bases, airports, and sea ports. And the US will not suddenly have aircraft carriers, so the Saudi monarch Obama will say:
                        -What base do you have aircraft carriers? Are there landing ships? Oh no, and who the hell are you, come on, bye!

    the fleet is unambiguously needed, but it must fulfill certain functions, you have to work, and not be a fun army, we don’t have a goal policy and a strategy for achieving the goals stated by politicians in Okeana, there is a tanga and it is directed towards the implementation of the USSR strategy, but there is no empire, and never will be,
    at the moment, it is most correct to create a zone of continuous defeat in the aisles of the 200-mile zone of the Russian Federation, which means that we do not need octopuses and grachenoks, but quite real destroyers of 3-5 thousand, with powerful plas and target designation systems for flyers, sharpened for detecting and destroying floats in the first place , and, accordingly, ensuring the passage of our strategists into the patrol zone under the ice, this is for the sphere, in quiet everything is much more difficult, there is a unique opportunity to swim up to take a direct shot to the coast of "friend-partners" and make the KARA OF THE LORD, that's where devilish ingenuity is needed, and the partners are well aware that the Pacific coast is the tastiest, based on this and it is necessary to build the ideology of the fleet, IMHO

Kaptsov's favorite joy, the so-called missile submarine cruisers (the name is also from the field of humor) are considered sufficient for solving the tasks of the fleet, well, like the general staff will form the tasks of the fleet))) but the fact that these miracle boats are deaf and dumb compared to surface submarines and submarines fleet (below there is an article on the real position of the deo in the sub-fleet of the Russian Federation), for example, the same Saxons, and therefore the author even thinks about sitting on their shores. For comparison, the nuclear submarines of the USA, France, Great Britain are patrolling in the ocean. It is necessary to tell Kaptsov, since these submarine ships are constantly on coastal patrols, it is not cheaper to bury them on the shore, cover up the S-300 and no "useless" avion carrier will pick them up. That is to say, bring Kaptsov's idea to "idealism" (as for me, to idiocy))))))))))))))))))))

    China completed tests of its own ekranoplan
    The flight tests of the Chinese-designed CYG-11 ekranoplane have been recognized as successful, according to the Hong Kong edition of Zhongpingghe.
    The ship was created by Inge and became the first model of ekranoplanes of its own Chinese design. It is capable of transporting up to 12 people, speeds up to 210 km / h at an altitude of one to four meters. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 28 liters, ITAR-TASS reports the Chinese media.
    According to Liu Guoguang, one of the leaders of Inge, ekranoplanes in China have a great future. Such vehicles, officially classified as marine vessels, have universal driving characteristics. “For them, there is no need to build special runways and other airfield infrastructure. A vessel can take off and land from a water surface, hard ground, ice cover, sand and wetlands, ”he said. High operational characteristics of this type of vessel are supported by indicators of carrying capacity at the level of up to 50 percent. from the mass of the ekranoplan, as well as the low cost of production.
    According to Liu Guoguang, CYG-11 will be especially in demand by the law enforcement agencies of the PRC, since it is practically not noticeable for radars and sonars. Currently, Inge has also completed the development of the ekranoplan CYG-40, with a capacity of up to 40 people. The other three modifications, CYG-100, CYG-150, CYG-200, are under construction. http://mil.eastday.com/m/20130424/u1a7348178.html

    In Russia, OOO EO Orion has received three government contracts for R&D on ekranoplanes for a total of 450 million rubles. In 2012, one ekranoplan crashed in Petrozavodsk. An eyewitness says: "Regarding Petrozavodsk. ... So they rested on EK-12 and that's it. But the car has undergone changes since the moment when Ivolga was and, judging by the tests, it became worse than it was. And the tests were not carried out as it should. , without programs and methods. The last accident in Petrozavodsk showed the absence of any kind of flight organization. No one checked anything, the pilot just got into the car and flew. Nobody paid attention to the fact that the aft compartments of the balonets are filled with water. the car just broke away from the water and made a candle, and then fell. And then transnational supervision, technical supervision, register and other controlling organizations are powerless, since the car is being tested by the company LLC. And the border guards do not manage this at all. They have withdrawn themselves. And by law they must were to create methods, require programs, coordinate them with the Navy, draw up test programs, appoint testers from the State Commission of the Navy !!!!!! ect Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 456 and Order of the Civil Code of the Navy No. 400. This became possible thanks to the connivance and negligence of the border forces. Obviously, the creation or reanimation of the Avangard plant pursues a completely different goal. Which one, I think sooner or later, we will find out. "As you can see, ekranoplanes in Russia are just HUMOR!
    Abroad, the most fruitful studies are developing the pattern of the tent-shaped wing of A. Lippisch conducted in Germany under the leadership of Hanno Fischer. As a result, a 50-seater WSH-500 ekranoplane, suitable for commercial operation, was built in the Republic of (South) Korea by Wingship Technology Corp. led by Hanno Fischer under license from German firms Fischer Flugmechanik and AFD Airfoil Development GmbH. The mass of the device is 17 tons, the flight altitude on the screen (this is an A type WIG) is up to 4,9 meters, cruising speed is -175 km / h, maximum speed is more than 200 km / h, specific fuel consumption is 29 grams / passenger-km ) Passenger capacity -47 seats + 3 crew members. Range-400 km. Diesel fuel consumption 250 kg / h. In 2013, the start of its commercial operation on the coastal line Gunsan - Jeju is scheduled.

    At present, the Lun ekranoplan-rocket carrier is being mothballed with the prospect of turning into a monument at best, at worst it will simply be cut into scrap metal. At the same time, ships in the air cavity of the Sivuch type (Bora and Samum) are in service. In connection with the systematic discrediting of the ekranoplan idea, we compare the fighting qualities of these two products.
    1. The main caliber: it is the same for both ships — it is the ZM-80 Mosquito anti-ship missiles. “Bora” carries 8 (eight missiles), “Lun” -6 (six). The Bora seems to have an advantage, but the maximum speed of the Bora is 55 knots (102 km / h), while the Lun has 450 to 500 km / h (according to various sources), let’s take a lower value. That is, having a high speed of 4,4 times, Lun is 1,5 times better than Bora in combat effectiveness.
    2. Additional armament: "Lunya" has 2 double-barreled cannons of 23 mm caliber, "Bora" has 1 × 2 launchers of the Osa-M air defense system (20 missiles), one - 76-mm gun mount AK-1х76 mm, 2 × 6 30-mm gun mount AK-630. It seems that Bora is more effective here. However, nothing prevented the Lunya's armament with the Osoa anti-aircraft missile system. The combat weight of the complex without missiles is 6850 kg, with missiles (20 pieces) is about 10 tons, that is, with the Lunya's carrying capacity of 138 tons, its placement was not a big problem.
    3. Labor: crew "Lunya" -11 people, "Burs" - 68 people.
    4. Range: Lun has -2000 km, Bora has 45 knots -800 miles (1482 km), 12 knots -2500 miles (4650 km). But how rocket-carrier ships are considered, one must first of all keep in mind the speed limit, especially since there is nowhere to go for 4,5 km on the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea. And with the high-speed mode “Lun wins” at “Bora” 1,4 times.
    5. Energy (fuel) efficiency. Consider the energy costs in kW / h for the delivery of 1 ton of full displacement or one Mosquito missile to a distance of 1000 km. At "Bora" engine power -2 GTU M10−1 36000 hp (for tandem screws, in lowering columns) 2 diesel engines of economical travel M-511A 20000 hp (for 2 screws); 2 diesel engines M-504 at 6600 hp (for discharge fans), that is, for the delivery of 1 rocket at a speed of 55 knots per 1000 km, energy costs of 69,5 thousand kW-hours will be required.
    Lun has an engine power of -8 turbojet engines of 13000 kg of thrust; this is equivalent (According to the methodology of the Central Institute of Aviation Motors named after Baranov P.I. In this regard, for the purposes of taxing the transport tax, the following relationship between the numerical values ​​of the power (in hp) of turboprop engines and thrust (in kgf) of turbojet engines is recommended: N = 0,75 x P, where N is the power (in hp) and P is the thrust (in kgf) Thus, the power of the Lunya engines is equivalent to 57,6 thousand kW, that is, for the delivery of 1 rocket at speeds of 450 km / h per 1000 km require energy costs of 21,25 thousand kW-hours, that is, 3,27 times less than that of Bora.
    6. “Lun” seaworthiness on the screen is 5-6 points, with a flight height on the screen of up to 5 meters. Bora has a formal seaworthiness of -8 points, but the speed of up to 55 knots is achieved at a wave height of not more than 2 m, and with a wave of 5 points (wave 3,5 m) - no more than 40 knots. However, the "Lun" in experimental flights switched to the "jump" (free flight) mode, rising to a height of 100 meters. On this basis, the "Lun" had no restrictions on seaworthiness.
    HERE AND UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC OF THE RUSSIAN ADMIRALS!

    In connection with the foregoing, the enthusiasm for the Dagestan missile ship located in the Caspian Sea is hardly understandable. Maybe it was better to reanimate and modernize Lun, including putting on it 6 missiles deployed on "Dagestan"? By the way, Iran already has three squadrons of 2-seater ekranoplanes armed with machine guns in the Navy. Of course this is humor, but the main thing may be, as MS Gorbachev used to say, "start!"

      What can the moon do in the Caspian?
      operating cost?
