"Wrong" Soviet fleet

Judge the sins of others. You rush so hard, start with yours and you will not reach others.
- W. Shakespeare


The Iron Curtain collapsed, and the established Age of Glasnost allowed millions of Soviet citizens to learn many new and shocking secrets related to history their former country.

For example, the free press found out that the Soviet Navy Fleet ruled by completely mediocre and incompetent people. Instead of developing an American-style fleet (with emphasis on carrier-based strike groups), the insanity from the Soviet General Staff set about searching for “asymmetric answers,” spending tens of billions of people's rubles on building expensive but ineffective submarines, cruisers and supersonic missile carriers.

Against 14, the American Nimitz, Kitty Hawk and Forrestal, which formed the US Navy's combat core in 1980, the Soviet Navy set up an incredible variety of “squadron” consisting of:

- 15 surface missile cruisers - from the simplest "Grozny" to the incredible nuclear "Orlan";
- numerous series of SSGMs: 659, 675, 670 “Skat” projects, “aircraft carrier killers” of the 949 and 949 Ave. - only about 70 submarines with cruise missiles;
- the monstrous titanic boats “Anchar”, “Lira”, “Fin”, “Condor” and “Barracuda”;
- dozens of "ordinary" multi-purpose submarines and diesel-electric submarines;
- rocket boats and corvettes (IRAs);
- missile aviation Navy - hundreds of Tu-16, Tu-22M2 and Tu-22M3;
- anti-ship missile systems - from the primitive "Termite" to the fantastic "Granites", "Volcanoes" and "Basalt".

Obviously, this impressive set weapons he had an enormous cost, but he could not solve the task entrusted to him - the problem of effectively countering the American AUG remained in question.

Many claims are the Soviet system of issuing target designation of missiles. American AUGs moved in the ocean at speeds of 700 miles per day — tracking and taking on such moving objects was an exceptional task. And without qualitative information about the current location of the AUG, the formidable "aircraft carrier killers" became helpless.



And try to shoot him down!

Any reconnaissance Tu-16Р or Tu-95РЦ who risked approaching the AUG in wartime will inevitably be shot down by an air patrol many hundreds of miles from the warfare carrier order. The only acceptable solution is space reconnaissance. The Soviet Maritime Space Intelligence and Targeting System (MKRTS) "Legend-M" was a real nightmare - every 45 day US-A satellite, equipped with a small-sized nuclear reactor and side-looking radar, burned in dense layers of the atmosphere, and along with it burned millions of full-fledged Soviet rubles.

The list of comments on the organization of the service of the USSR Navy usually ends with a statement about the need to build a huge number of airfields for naval rocket-carrying aircraft (MRA) of the Navy, reconnaissance and cover fighters. Again, considerable costs without any useful returns.
Each solved problem opened a series of new difficulties: the leadership of the Soviet Navy drove the fleet to a standstill. Having spent insane funds on "asymmetrical weapons", the Soviet fleet remained an extremely inefficient system, unable to fight on equal terms with the US Navy.



The outcome of this dispute may be a simple and logical conclusion: to the leadership of the Soviet fleet it was necessary to learn from the experience and start creating carrier strike groups modeled on the US Navy. It would have turned out to be more powerful, more efficient, and most importantly - cheaper (according to a well-known legend, the cost of two submarines of the 949 project exceeded the cost of the Kuznetsov aircraft-carrying cruiser).

Or should not?

Various speculations about the exorbitant value of the Navy of the USSR are broken, as if about a rock, about the only fact:

The budget of the Soviet fleet was less than the budget of the US Navy.

Expenditures on the Soviet Navy in 1989 amounted to 12,08 billion rubles, of which 2993 million rubles for the purchase of ships and boats and 6531 million for technical equipment)

- directory “Soviet Navy. 1990 — 1991 ”, Pavlov A.S.

For the purchase of weapons and military equipment for the US Navy, it is planned to allocate 30,2 billion dollars, of which 8,8 billion will be used to purchase aircraft, 9,6 billion - combat ships and auxiliary vessels, 5,7 billion - missile weapons, artillery and small arms weapons and torpedoes, 4,9 billion - other military equipment.

- Foreign Military Review, #9 1989 year

Even if you do not go into the details of exchange rates (official and real), pricing, corruption and features of the implementation of military programs on both sides of the ocean, the fact remains the same: despite its titanium submarines and super-cruisers, the Soviet fleet was cheaper several times!



Actually, on this wave it was possible to finish the narration, but the public is interested in the main question: was the Russian Navy capable, as it was, to neutralize the carrier groups in the North Atlantic?

The answer is obvious: YES.

According to calculations carried out on both sides of the ocean, in the event of war, the submarine and the USSR Navy's MRA drowned the American fleet, while the Soviet sailors and pilots themselves suffered heavy losses — after the attack of the AUGs by the Navy of the USSR Navy, it would in fact cease to exist.

Whenever anyone tries to write about the confrontation between our and the American fleets, the mantra is surely pronounced: “for the destruction of one AUG, three aviation regiments of rocket-carrying bombers were allocated”! Usually the mantra is pronounced in an ominous tone, frighteningly goggling in order to convince everyone in the “invulnerability” of the American fleet.


Supersonic bomber bomber Tu-22М3

Although if you look, you can’t do without losses in a war. And the destruction of an aircraft carrier, five cruisers, frigates and 50 ... 60 units of enemy aircraft in exchange for the loss of a hundred Soviet aircraft (take the most pessimistic scenario) - the exchange is more than fair.

Or someone seriously hoped that to counteract the powerful US fleet, for the maintenance and development of which the Yankees spent $ 30 billion a year, a pair of supersonic Tu-22М is enough?

All-seeing eye

Another misconception associated with the detection of the enemy: it is considered that deprived of high-quality intelligence ships of the Soviet Navy helplessly circled around the expanses of the oceans, like blind kittens. And the Americans? Americans are great! The US Navy has both deck aircraft and DRLO sea planes - flying radar E-2C Hawkeye will instantly detect the enemy, and deck Hornety will tear apart any surface or air target, not letting it go to AUG closer than 500 miles.

In this case, the theory is very different from practice.

Of course, being in an ideal “spherical vacuum”, aircraft from an aircraft carrier should be the first to detect the enemy, and the first to strike. Having come under continuous attacks of carrier-based aviation, any of the atomic “Orlans” will die, not even having time to go the launching distance of their missiles.
Supporters of such scenarios usually do not take into account the fact that the Soviet "Orlans" and submarines DO NOT NEED to break through anywhere - Soviet warships were constantly in the most important areas of the oceans:

- 5-I operational squadron - the solution of operational and tactical tasks in the Mediterranean;
- 7-I OpEx - Atlantic;
- 8-I OpEx - The Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean;
- 10-I OpEsk - Pacific;
- 17-I OpEsk - ensuring Soviet interests in the Asia-Pacific region (mainly - the South China Sea and Southeast Asia), the appearance of the squadron is a consequence of the Vietnam War.

The Soviet Navy practiced tracking the “probable enemy” ships — missile cruisers and submarines were always on duty somewhere close to American AUG and NATO warship formations, ready to open fire. In such conditions, deck aircraft lost its main advantage: a large range. Soviet "Skates", "Orlans" and "Antheus" securely kept the "gun" at the temple of the American fleet.


Launch of anti-ship missile complex "Vulkan" with RKR "Moscow"

It only remains to add that in addition to warships, with strike weapons, the naval forces of the USA and NATO were continuously monitored by numerous naval intelligence officers of the USSR Navy - large, medium and small communications vessels (CER), more than 100 units. Modest ships, outwardly almost indistinguishable from fishing trawlers and dry cargo ships, whose tasks included visual observation of the “likely enemy”, radio-technical reconnaissance and retransmission of signals. Despite the lack of weapons, the Soviet CER unceremoniously strolled alongside the formidable Nimitz and Ticonderogs, measuring the electromagnetic fields and noting the current coordinates of the American compound.


The Soviet submarine wound a screw on a secret American TASS antenna and lost its course. The first to help came CER-506 "Find". In the background - the US Navy Peterson destroyer. Sargasso Sea, 1983 year

The Yankees gnashed their teeth with annoyance, but it was forbidden to offend “kids” in peacetime — the security of the CER was ensured by the military and political might of the Soviet Union. In the event of war, the CERs became pure suicide bombers, but before their death they would manage to contact the strike force and transfer the coordinates of the "elusive" American squadron. Retribution will be cruel.

Handyman

Sometimes the Soviet Navy is criticized for its “one-sidedness” - allegedly the Soviet fleet was focused exclusively on a global nuclear conflict, but was completely useless in solving tactical tasks.

It is worth noting that prior to the invention of high-precision sea-based cruise missiles, any of the modern fleets played a purely episodic role in local wars - except for super-large-caliber guns on the four surviving battleships of the US Navy, the fleet could not provide any real help and fire support. In all local conflicts of the twentieth century, the main role was assigned to land forces and aviation.
You see! - supporters of the creation of AUG will exclaim - the fleet cannot do without aircraft carriers in local wars!

Fans of flying from the deck, please do not worry: the air - this is the scope of the Air Force. Decker wing wings are too small and weak to cause significant damage even to such a small country as Iraq. "Desert Storm", 1991 year - the six US Navy carrier strike forces provided the entire 17% of the Coalition's sorties. All the main work was performed by ground-based aviation - on their side were mass character, qualitative superiority, and special equipment for solving complex issues (E-8 J-STARS, RC-135W, stealth planes, etc.).

During the bombing of Yugoslavia, the only American aircraft carrier Roosevelt landed only on the 12 day of the war - without it, the 1000 of NATO aircraft certainly would not have coped. Libya, 2011 year - none of the Nimitz 10 didn’t even lift a finger, but the US Air Force "frolicked" in the Libyan sky. Comments, as they say, are superfluous. The value of aircraft carriers in local wars tends to zero.

The only significant function of the American fleet in local wars is the delivery to the region of several hundred Tomahawk SLCMs, with the help of which the Yankees “endure” the most difficult and highly protected targets - positions of air defense systems, radars, command centers, air bases, etc. objects.

As for the domestic fleet, he did everything that a normal fleet should have done, with the exception of striking targets in the depth of the coast.

The fleet did an excellent job of escorting ships during the tanker war in the Persian Gulf - of course, of which, and destroyers (large anti-submarine ships) as part of the Soviet Navy were always well off, more than 100 units.

The fleet was highly praised during the trawling and clearance operations of the Suez Canal and Chittagong Bay (Bangladesh). Naval sailors provided military and humanitarian aid delivery to countries in Africa and the Middle East, in passing being a clear demonstration of the military power of the USSR. The ships took part in suppressing the coup in the Seychelles, rescuing the crew of the American intelligence officer Alpha Foxtrot 586, driving the cruiser Yorktown out of the Soviet territorial waters — thanks to their large number, universality and global network of naval bases, the Soviet Navy ships were always operational in the right place at the right moment.

Soviet KIK (ships of the measuring complex) regularly kept watch at the Kwajalein (Pacific Ocean) missile range, observing the trajectories and behavior of the US ICBM warheads, and monitored launches from foreign launch sites - the USSR was aware of all the “likely enemy” missile innovations.


Anti-submarine cruiser "Leningrad"

The Soviet Navy was responsible for assistance within the framework of the Soviet space program - ships were repeatedly involved in the search and evacuation of spacecraft landing in the Indian Ocean.
The Russian fleet did not have bulky and monstrously expensive docking helicopters, similar to the American "Wasp" and "Taram". But in the composition of the Navy of the USSR there were 153 large and medium landing craft, prepared parts of the marines, as well as 14 old artillery cruisers and 17 destroyers with automated 130 mm guns for fire support. With the help of these means, the Soviet fleet could easily conduct a point landing operation in any corner of the Earth.

This is the "one-sidedness" ...

The Navy of the USSR was ruled by competent people who understood their goals and objectives perfectly: despite their smaller budget, the Russian Navy could adequately withstand even the mighty American fleet - the ships performed tasks anywhere in the oceans, defending the interests of their homeland.

      That's really, really, who is talking about what, and we have again "chm * ryat" aircraft carriers. In the capital work of V.P. Kuzin and V.I. Nikolsky "The Navy of the USSR 1945-1991" provides calculation data that show that instead of building in 1960-1990 anti-aircraft forces, including 16 diesel boats with anti-ship missiles, 37 nuclear submarines with anti-ship missiles, 19 cruisers, plus basic long-range missile-carrying aviation , it was possible to add 20 full-fledged aircraft carriers to our fleet, and move from a defensive task to the task of conquering supremacy at sea. If we really remember the Soviet Union, where did the author of the article have lost the plans to build our aircraft carrier ships, and the USSR began to build nuclear aircraft carriers of the Ulyanovsk project? We are covering the "wrong" Soviet fleet somehow, dear Oleg. Alas, today's Russia is not a mighty Soviet Union, calm down, mattress showers, sabotage, lobbies and betrayal finished off our aircraft carriers, "thank you" and the CIA, even what could be converted into aircraft carriers was destroyed, and the best for its time VTOL Yak -141. Now the main thing is money, and this is another song, according to someone else's notes, in which, unlike the USSR, it is unlikely that everything will be so cheaper here.

        The question is, how many escort ships are needed for 20 aircraft carriers? Look ...
        The problem of creating AUG is that the USSR could not make it quickly. It's not just about money or doctrine, it's about timing. Chamberlain needed an answer urgently.
        One should not overestimate the aircraft carriers, but they should not be belittled either. The USSR began to build them when it was ready technologically, economically, and the concept of its application matured. But the USSR-collapsed, not having time to implement plans ...

          Excuse me, but what - "vooot"? :) It was in the early USSR, the stigma "weapon of aggression" all the time wrote that an aircraft carrier needed a huge escort, and when they began to write about our TAVKR Kuznetsov and Ulyanovsk, it was somehow unexpected it so happened that our AV escort is not needed at all - they quote from memory "complement the existing ship groupings, strengthening them and increasing their combat stability"
          The point is that there is no need to perceive the aircraft carrier as some kind of passive kalik who needs a huge escort, without which he can do nothing. This "escort" itself solves the most important tasks (such as striking cruise missiles on enemy territory, or the functions of an anti-aircraft defense system or the destruction of enemy ships, covering its own assault forces, etc.) - and the carrier aircraft provides reconnaissance, performs air defense, helps to solve issues PLO, and strongly strengthens the shock functions of the joint

            Yes, the question is complex, but still without cover the aircraft carrier oh how not just have to. And in the USSR, plans for escort ships for aircraft carriers were developed - the same projects of nuclear destroyers. The question is the implementation of the plans and the conclusions reached by the Navy theorists.
            To the point of absurdity, if the USSR had initially built many aircraft carriers, they would have to become the main striking force. And they would need to be covered (like the United States). But the reality is different. Aircraft carriers had to "fit" into the existing structure of the USSR Navy. Hence, somewhat different tasks - the aircraft carriers themselves, to a certain extent, became a guard for the squadrons.
            Well, about "vooot ..." - the fleet could be left without pants, because not only aircraft carriers are alive ...

            drinks I agree completely. But all of them (both destroyers and aircraft carriers) are a little "kaliki", only together, complementing each other, they become a strike group. It is then that it acquires stability and combat effectiveness. And who "plays" the first violin depends on the concept of fleet development and combat use.

                Strongly said, from the heart. You were late, however, in this Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev thought deeper and broader, and was sure that here a cruiser is not needed, really, fuck it, if a rocket is a rocket without a cruiser. Another proposal, by the way, from our beloved author, is the replacement of aircraft carriers with basic aviation, a network of airfields on the islands and the coast, which is essentially the same - to leave the weapons "in another place." How much the network of such fixed airfields will cost, their maintenance and security is another question. The United States has 85% of all world military bases, nevertheless, these mercantile guys do not rely on land airfields. Come to an end, men, suffer garbage, an aircraft carrier will be needed as long as there is military aviation, war at sea.

              Dear Andrey from Chelyabinsk and Bronis! Your dispute is very interesting, but the absence of aircraft carriers in the USSR and Russia is caused not only by the amount of money for the construction of ships, aircraft and weapons. Let me remind you that any unit from the unit to the army is worth nothing without rear support. Now let's see the geography. The United States, like England, is a true maritime power. The USA is surrounded on three sides by ice-free seas and oceans, plus satellite countries: Canada, Panama and others. All cities on the coast - all ports. Now let's look at the USSR. 2 ports in the north: Murmansk and Arkhangelsk (the rest are freezing); 3 ports in the west: Kaliningrad, Kronstadt and Leningrad (partially freezing); in the east of the 3 port: Vladivostok, Yu-Sakhalinsk and P-Kamchatsky (the rest are completely freezing); in the south now Sevastopol, Novorossiysk. The USA has 10 aircraft carriers now. We have nowhere to maintain this armada of ships, we do not have such a number of ice-free ports. In addition, geographically almost all of our ports are easily blocked, which was felt during the 2-th World War. Therefore, we do not have the infrastructure for providing AUG. To do this, you need to build new ports, new cities, factories and the entire infrastructure, but the question is - where? That is why in the USSR, the Nazis did not break up to the Volga with the AUG!

                Under Vissarionych, infrastructure and basing issues were dealt with very seriously. In fact, almost more was spent on the same infrastructure for the planned Sovetsky Soyuz aircraft than on the battleships themselves :) Well, I have such a question - if someone was already laying the cruisers of the Stalingrad project with more than 40 thousand tons of displacement, then what prevented the placement of smaller ABs?
                This is if you take the situation on after the war. And in the future - there is the Pacific and North of the USSR, and there and there it disposed of the GIANT fleet. And infrastructure is needed even for nuclear submarines, even for AV

                I would add - the AUG did not quite correspond to the ideology of the USSR. AUG is a weapon of colonial wars that were alien to us. And to maintain these colossi in case of some Vietnam or Angola is a little expensive, they were single. So the composition of the Navy of the USSR was quite reasonable - we could snap back anywhere in the world’s oceans, and to whom it seems a little - there is SSBN.

            Actually, a considerable cover is needed, but unlike the Americans, our aircraft carrier has a lot of weapons on board, including not quite defensive ones, and even without airplanes it is a ship that is quite capable of snarling.

                Any ship has both defensive and offensive weapons.
                In the warrant, each ship has a primary and secondary task.
                As a rule, the destroyer’s job is to protect cruisers and aircraft carriers from submarines, aircraft and anti-ship missiles.
                Sometimes, due to their versatility, they are attracted to shock operations, such as firing tomahawks on ground targets.
                In principle, no ship can be sharpened for a single task, there is simply a certain specialization, the exception is probably only minesweepers that are sharpened by search for and destruction of mines and also their deployment, nevertheless even they have certain combat capabilities to repel an air or underwater attack.
                So in answer to your question, I can say the following: there are no ships fully and completely tailored for one single task, as a rule, certain classes of ships are simply better suited for certain tasks, therefore their capabilities in this matter are increasing.
                Well, since the aircraft carrier itself will not be engaged in the search and attack of the submarine, the destroyers are engaged in this task, it is clearly better for them, and it is cheaper to lose the destroyer if by chance it runs into a defensive torpedo from the stern vehicle than to lose the aircraft carrier.
                If we take our fleet, then pay attention to almost all the ships were called anti-submarine !!! from the frigate to the cruiser, however, this did not stop having weapons on board from which entire AUGs shy away.

                  Uh-huh, what was the anti-submarine Viking squadron doing on the aircraft carrier? You see, a ship's anti-submarine capabilities are largely determined by the number of helicopters based on it. Simply because, in theory, both the submarine and the destroyer can hear each other both 30 and 40 km away, but only the US destroyer with its ASROK is able to declare itself from a distance of 10-20 km (and even then up to 20 km seems to be quite recently finished shot, it was 10 earlier) but our nuclear submarine, without hesitation, is able to slap an anti-ship missile into it so that the sky seems like a sheepskin. And the pepelats is capable of checking thousands of square kilometers with seapoons and treating the submarine with a torpedo at a safe distance from the destroyer :))) But the destroyers were usually based on 2 helicopters, but the aircraft carrier carried at least 8 of them plus the same number of anti-submarine aircraft, which were even more effective than helicopters. So who and whom covered from the submarine is a baaaal question :)))

                  1) Supporting the coastal flanks of the army and delivering strikes on the coastal infrastructure of the enemy

                    Uh-huh, what was the anti-submarine Viking squadron doing on the aircraft carrier?

                    I took the brackets out of aviation because I answered a relatively specific question regarding the specialization of ships, not aviation.
                    The submarine always hears further by definition, surface ships have a lot of noise.
                    The targets of the submarine defense are not limited to destroyers alone, the distant submarine patrol on the air group.
                    A combat mission is what needs to be done, and how exactly this is already being solved by the ship / unit / AUG commander.
                    The combat mission is a priority, but nevertheless this is not the only task of the ship, in addition to it, the tasks of submarine defense, air defense, mine danger, navigational guidance, and so on are constantly being performed.
                    Several ships with good air defense can scare away anyone who wants to watch the submarine. It is not necessary to carry an entire operational connection for this; for the SSBN, the best cover is an attack boat, and not surface ships.
                    Although this question is probably all the same to submariners.
                    And actually the main thing, our military doctrine does not imply a treacherous attack, it is of a defensive nature.
                    This doesn’t stop the honey from dragging our missile cruiser for each of the American aircraft carriers, so that they wouldn’t relax!

            When looking at naval manuals for the most likely ally, you always come across air defense frigates, air defense destroyers, air defense cruisers, an air defense ship and other surface ships with the addition of air defense.
            Do not recall how many specific ships specifically for air defense were in the fleet of the USSR?

            And why is it so extolled by the super-expensive Aegis Americans began to arm every vessel suitable for accommodating Aegis in a row?
            But the Aegis equipment greatly limits the possibilities of using a ship armed with it - it does not have electromagnetic compatibility with the standard weapon guidance systems of her. Despite the fact that it cannot directly control the armament of the vessel. Those. if a certain escort ship pulled out its anti-aircraft / missile defense missiles and drowned or simply turned off - missiles without a missile system were forgotten. Or if the ship's commander decided to show off and perform a feat - he can simply ignore Aegis's recommendations. Then maybe there will be a trial, if something stays afloat from the AUG.
            A close examination of Aegis itself is primarily just an information network system. Better than our Redoubt (the code data transmission to Aegis Absolute and the communication facilities themselves are specially adapted for it, while any of Reduta's radio stations can become a BIUS suppression station, the inclusion of a combat unit in the Aegims system is fully automated, when in Redut you need to dance with tambourine, manual support of the switched field telephone network in Redoubt is generally something). Aegis is primarily an information system.
            And all superradars, supersonars, Aegis superweapons are part of the armament of the carrier base vessel.
            And with all this, the central vessel in the AUG can only be one ship in the AUG. Because of this, it is impossible to increase the probability of intercepting a group target by simply building up AUG vessels. Even with a simple combination of AUGs, the number of simultaneously tracked and fired targets does not radically increase.
            That's why cruisers like PetrPervy and PLARK pr.949 are called the killer of the AUG - any such unit of missiles can neutralize more than Aegis and there is enough remaining volley to complete the main mission. Yes, after a volley of them krants and eternal memory. But the task is completed and the ratio of losses in lives is not in favor of the enemy.
            Well, whose fleet is wrong?

              Sorry, but here I don't even know what to say. Aegis, in fact, is a combat information and control system (BIUS), and as such it simply cannot interfere with "other weapons". Aegis integrates the control of almost all control systems and ship armament, including air defense. To consider Aegis as an air defense system that interferes with something is at least strange ...
              Aegis is installed on ships for one simple reason - because it increases the power of the ship, and very significantly. We are also trying with might and main to introduce BIUS on our ships, although we have not yet achieved a similar level of system interaction. In any case, Aegis has nothing to do with escorting an aircraft carrier - it is useful both on the AUG ship and on the KUG ship, i.e. it is valuable in no way tied to an aircraft carrier

              Sorry, but this is far from a fact. Granite (if it does not shoot from 125 km) will go along a high-altitude path. AUG order he will copy kilometers from 70 (well if) and only then will go down. I don’t know where Spy-1 will draw it from, but American ships will have kilometers 80-100 of Granite’s flight. And at the height of the Granite - nothing more than an ordinary supersonic aircraft, the defeat of which in general is not particularly difficult. I’m silent about the air patrol and air defense patrol AUG.
              Neither 949A nor the Great have their own means to detect AUGs at a distance of a Granite volley. At the same time, our KUG aviation is capable of detecting over 900-1000 km. And destroy.

                And why can not assign the tasks of detecting the AUG and pointing missiles at helicopters and vertical take-off aircraft? Almost all modern ships (including those built in the 70-80ee) have a helipad, and some Soviet ships, such as Moscow, also had a hangar with a short flight deck.

                As far as I understand, such an aircraft / several aircraft from different KUG ships can operate under the cover of the KUG air defense, or, for its protection, a separate air defense ship can be put forward to protect it from air patrol. But, in the worst case, he will have time to detect the enemy and make target designation for launching missiles with KUG ships.
                Such tactics were followed, for example, by the Japanese during WWII, when seaplanes ejected from SRT were used for reconnaissance.
                You can also use large AWACS aircraft, for example A-50 under the guise of fighters operating from coastal airfields with the support of a tanker.

                Personally, I am against "pure" AB in principle. Because anti-ship missiles are much more effective and cheaper in attack than aircraft. Therefore, "Kuzya rules" (c), it has both K-K missile armament and a flight deck from which fighters that enhance the long-range air defense of the KUG and RLO aircraft can take off.

                  Because both of them will be knocked down long before they can find something.
                  The standard air defense patrol of an enemy aircraft carrier is an 1 early warning radar (AWACS) EW aircraft (capable of also conducting electronic reconnaissance) and an 2-4 fighter. And all this is moving forward in a dangerous direction. Patrol line - 300 km from the aircraft carrier. At the same time, the DRL does not include its radar. In case of increased danger, two such patrols rise - one at 300 km from the aircraft carrier, the second at 600 km.
                  In order for a helicopter or VTOL aircraft to detect the enemy from afar, it is necessary that he turn on his own radar. But her work will be immediately detected by an electronic warfare aircraft. After that, the AWACS radar is already turned on (and it is much more powerful than anything that can be placed on a helicopter or VTOL) and directs its own fighters. Everything, there was a helicopter - and there is no helicopter.

                  And how will he protect him, sorry? A ship can use its own Zur only if its radar sees an enemy aircraft. At the same time, a helicopter hanging over a ship can be shot down by a plane hiding from the ship behind a radio horizon. In addition, the helicopter, even having climbed 10 thousand meters above the ship (and he is not capable of it) will have a radio horizon of the order of 430-450 km. Well, the air defense patrol will detect you from the same 450 km + 300 km - the distance from the patrol to the AUG. And even further.

The number of the air group is small, the speed of the aircraft’s rise into the air is again lower, because it is slower to start from a springboard than from four American catapults. Kuzmich cannot carry AWACS in principle, because they cannot take off from a springboard, they need a catapult. If a dozen Granites warms your soul ... And who will let him go 550 km to the order? The States are well aware of the presence of these missiles (while they were), therefore, with the introduction of Kuznetsov, they seriously began to practice the application of massive air strikes at a distance of 1200 km. The aircraft carrier has a much longer arm, and the presence of AWACS points gives Americans such global advantages over which even the superiority of the Su-33 fades over the Hornets

But you must admit that fighters and RLO and EW aircraft can be based on it, which will 100% enable shipborne air defense systems to shoot down enemy aircraft "beyond the radio horizon." Instead of attack aircraft, he uses missiles.

                        Yes, there are no catapults on Kuznetsov, something else is interesting, in the conditions of flights, for example, in the Barents Sea or in the Okhotsk Sea, any American aircraft carrier is a piece of iron, aviation is on the deck. Since the restrictions on pitching - 1,5 ... 2 degrees, and onboard - 3 ... 3,5 degrees, rolling, wind speed above the deck is not more than 20 m / sec., Takeoff and landing operations for horizontally taking off aircraft are impossible , at a temperature of 0 degrees, and below freezing of the tracks of steam catapults can quickly disable the catapult. Kuznetsov received and released aircraft on December 20 in the Barents Sea, therefore it is entered in the Guinness Book of Records as a ship providing the most winter and high-latitude flights in the world. Therefore, the aircraft carrier "Essex" was once in the Norwegian Sea in the 70s and only in August.

                        Excuse me, but officially Nimitz provides a rise in aviation with a roughness of 5 points, and experienced crews can take off up to 7 points (flights stop at 7) That up to 20 m / s is somehow even surprising, since the speed of an aircraft carrier is 30 knots - 15,4 m / s and aircraft usually take off at this speed of an aircraft carrier. And they feel good :)) As a matter of fact, WWII planes took off at such speeds.
                        About freezing - there are a lot of rumors, but there was no reliable information. Moreover, if anything, then clearing the track is an order of magnitude easier than clearing the Kuznetsov springboard.

                        "Nimitz" may provide aircraft takeoff, but there is no landing on the AF, with a wind of more than 20 m / s there will be a breakdown of the flow behind the stern, and with pitching 2 degrees, the vertical course of the stern will be 2-3,5 meters with a ship length of 330 meters, with a passage height of the stern of the aircraft 4-5 meters, there is a high probability of hitting the stern. "Nimitz" is certainly a large ship, but it is not immune from strong winds and rolling. But the freezing of the catapult track leads to breakage of the shuttle and the failure of the catapult, ice will have to be chipped after each takeoff, ice is formed very intensively in places where superheated steam escapes, and the springboard does not freeze during flights at subzero temperatures. "Nimitz" will not go north in winter, he never went north of France.

                        Keep in mind that when firing catapults, the shuttle moves along the track, and a special tape follows the shuttle, closing the gap in the track so that steam does not escape from the catapult cylinders and does not get into the air intakes of the aircraft, overheated steam at the entrance to the aircraft gas turbine engine is take-off surge with all the ensuing consequences. So these units, shuttle, track and tape, are very carefully adjusted to each other, they are afraid of any mechanical damage, including ice. By the way, in Norfolk during the Cold War, nasal fittings for aircraft carriers in the form of springboards were stored in case of catapult failure from combat damage.

                    Excuse me, but did I run over you? I want to find out how applicable these or those options. If you do not want to answer, if this is above your "I", then it is better not to do it at all.

                    Who told you such nonsense? :) Only a dozen "Super Hornets" are capable of striking 24 really cheap Harpoons at a distance of 1100 km from AB without entering the air defense zone of the enemy formation (over-the-horizon launch). The same 12 Hornets at a distance of 650 km will strike with 48 Harpoons. Well, the "Great" can attack the AUG only from 550 km, and its "Granites" in size and cost correspond to a light combat aircraft.


                    I said. And this is not stupidity. Air defense systems of the S-300 type have the ability to hit over-the-horizon targets, having external target designation. Which can be produced in many ways. One of which I would like to discuss with you as a person "in the subject". So a dozen super hornets will be lying at the bottom 1100 km from AB or 650 km, no difference.
                    Given the development of air defense systems, most aircraft are "disposable".

Those. theoretically, it is possible to put the illumination radar into the helicopter, but then it will not perform any reconnaissance functions - for this, a general view radar is needed, which cannot direct the missile defense system.

                      Almost all C-300 missiles, such as 48Н6E, 48Н6E2, 9М82, 9М83 have a semi-active seeker, which means that a special radar is required to hit a target. Those. such missiles can hit the enemy EXCLUSIVELY within the radio horizon. There is also 9М96Е1 and 9М96Е2 (are there any? Or are they still being developed? I don’t know for sure) - these have an active GOS, but the fact is that it turns on some kilometers in 10 from the target, and on the march section (like all SAM ) It is adjusted according to general-purpose radars or specialized radars. Which, in order to adjust the flight of SAM, again you need to see the target crying
                      You see, at one time I also had an idea - it would be great to take and put the radar to direct active missiles with active seeker into a helicopter or UAV and even hang it over the ship - and then it’s really a shy who will sneak up. But the problem is that nothing like this yet exists in any fleet of the world (and it is not clear when it can exist)

After that, a pair of "Khokaevs" hangs for 300 kilometers from our KUG, and strike squadrons at low altitude go on the attack, launching missiles from distances of 70-100 km, from under the radio horizon, i.e. out of sight of shipborne radars.
                        Suppose A-50 even survived somehow, hanging over our ships. So what? All he can do is communicate multiple goals from such and such a course. It's all. From what you know about the presence of enemy aircraft, the ability to destroy them is not added to you.

                        Hawkeye controls the sky. Those. he has a conventional general detection radar. But due to the equipment placed on it, it keeps a multitude of targets (and its own aircraft) at the same time escorted and also issues target designation to its fighter aircraft. Those. the pilot of an enemy fighter, who is "led" by the "hockey", knows about the location of the enemy without using his own radar. Without turning on the radar, it is practically invisible to the aircraft it is attacking, since the fighter radar operates in a certain sector and it is possible to plan the attack so as not to fall into this sector. So the hockey player controls the AIRPLANE, but not his weapon :) But when an enemy fighter reaches the range of using weapons, then instead of scanning the entire space in front of him along the sector that is maximally accessible for his radar, he traces the target - i.e. directs a narrow thin beam to the location of the enemy aircraft - after all, he knows. As a result, even if the planes are equipped with radars of the same performance characteristics, the fighter that Hawkeye directs will have an advantage. As a result, he attacks, while his target still does not see who came after him. Those. takes Hokai to the target, and points the weapon - the fighter itself

                        And there is. The harpoon has an active GOS (AGSN) and an inertial guidance system. Those. if Hokai gives out (and he gives out) the exact coordinates of the enemy compound, then the inertial system of the harpoon leads the missile exactly to the point where the order should be (taking into account the speed of the order, its course and the time of launch of the rocket) - and there the harpoon cuts its AGSN ( that is, he carries his radar with him) and begins an active search for targets.
                        Unlike Harpoon, SAM can’t afford such a thing - the plane is a much faster target, and GOS Zur is smaller and weaker than that of Harpoon, and the Zur’s target is much smaller. the harpoon is capable of capturing the target in 4-5 tens of kilometers and even more; SAM - 10-15 km. Therefore, missiles cannot be launched simply on an inertial, its flight must be adjusted. This is what a general-purpose radar does - seeing the target and position of the missile launcher (their courses, speeds, etc.), it transmits this data to the computer, which adjust the course of the missile launcher so that it goes exactly to the target, and when the missile is brought to it at 10 km - cuts AGSN
                        I clearly explained?

                        Another thing is that Russia has mathematics and there is no technology, and mattresses have technologies, but there is no mathematics (for now). At the same time, mattresses do not really respect math.

                        Since then, silence is dead. And suspicious.

                        By the way, any USSR air defense system was able to work and is guided by the radar of a remote position. At the same time, they used detection and illumination with a single radar. Hitch a radar or three to a helicopter - the same Harmony - what's the problem ?! There would be communication channels - fuels and lubricants, TsDMMA, LTE.

                Something about 40 anti-aircraft missiles and 4 or 5 anti-ship missiles - you want to call it a frigate of guided missile weapons, but the main task (by which they are classified) of its weapons is air defense.
                And his radar is excellent in all respects.
                With the rest, practically the same.

                Aegis, in fact, is a combat information and control system (BIUS), and as such it simply cannot interfere with "other weapons".

                Radio transmitters interfere with each other, unfortunately. Especially working in pulsed mode, transmitting pulsed signals and with high power.
                Historically - the Yankee code division of channels (CDMA) was not held in high esteem - there were good high-quality analog filters on quartz and the task of channel compression by analog compression was solved simply and therefore easily fell into the MILS standard.
                The problem is that the compaction and digital signal transmission equipment creates a bunch of pulses with a lot of out-of-band noise.
                In our land redoubt, this is decided by frequency diversity. Aegis has the same.
                Physics doesn’t care what language the student has and what flag is prettier to him.
                There are few frequencies in the transceiver and not always enough for everyone in the escort (and radar too).
                Our fleet and the BIUS troops also need to - look at the picture of the squadron in line-by-line formation - you can’t skip the flag - our screws will rinse - when there is no BIUS, it’s impossible to use weapons without risk.

                Neither 949A nor the Great have their own means to detect AUGs at a distance of a Granite volley. At the same time, our KUG aviation is capable of detecting over 900-1000 km. And destroy.

                Why do they need to know their AUG coordinates to the nearest mile?
                Granites are bulged to the area of ​​the last reliable coordinates of the AUG and then hunt in a pack on their own.
                Up to the point that the first rocket that found the AUG specifies the coordinates for those coming from behind who "knowing" that where they go into a supersonic flight in the zone of radar noise from waves.
                Where are the coordinates from? From communication vessels constantly dangling within sight of the AUG. This is their main function. Everything else - data collection, radio interception, field measurement - so that the service does not seem like honey.
                Yes, it is theoretically possible to detect them in 2000km.
                The question is how many goals and data will the BIUS be able to digest.
                Anyone who tries to run counter-strike on a very weak machine will be able to see the Aegis behavior with too many targets.
                That is how mattresses with the help of Aegis blocked the Iranian passenger Boeing - there were too many goals.
                Low parallelization of calculations in Aegis in the presence of several fairly powerful on-board computers on several order ships - so far, remains the main complaint of NAVI.
                By the way, LTE technology was the answer to this claim. Not just because its range is almost the same as that of GPS. Transfer as much data as possible from one processor to another - the only way to parallelize the calculations in Aegis and conduct more goals. But the military did not accept the technology. (Or maybe they did, and all of this is part of the plan.)

Georgia will put its ass in this topic under the US, add a problem in such a black Black Sea, especially if Russia also leaves Sevastopol, into which NATO will gladly climb. Nuclear weapons are, of course, a good thing, but for insolent rodents at 08.08.08. they were not allowed to shoot, but similar provocations, which in our history were called "border conflicts" and "military incidents" were and will continue to be, as at the CER, Khalkhin-Gol, Khasan, Damansky. Secondly, the United States will make every effort to reduce nuclear arsenals (we already have missiles with multiple extended periods, the USSR made them in dozens and hundreds, and capitalist Russia did it piece by piece). There is also a strengthening of the missile defense system (including sea-based ones) and the gloomy prospect of the militarization of outer space. I would like to believe in the best, but if we also get a new traitorous president who refuses or does not dare to use nuclear weapons, remembering his relatives in London, real estate and accounts in foreign banks, nuclear weapons will no longer help. No, dear Bronis, it's better to do local prophylaxis than to be comforted with a phrase afterwards - it's hard to treat, easy in a coffin.

Well ... and we must remember that the development strategy of the Kuznetsov-IVS fleet under Khrushchev was thoroughly forgotten. In fact, they began to recreate the fleet from 1964-65. And after 25 years of building the fleet, they came to Kuznetsov, Varyag, Novorossiysk.
        So ... an assessment of the Soviet naval commanders themselves — they could destroy the Americans, but they could not conquer the sea for themselves.

              Well, it depends on how you look at it, under the ice of the Arctic nuclear submarines have not disappeared anywhere, except for our long-suffering "Sharks". It was not in vain that the Americans sought to destroy them. All these songs about its "ridiculous" size and "noisy" are nonsense, the boat was created for operations under the Arctic ice, the base of the deckhouse was specially reinforced for surfacing in ice, and the boat's mass made it possible to break through almost any ice. The boat has one of the lowest noise levels, which, together with the natural crackling of ice, made it very difficult to detect. In addition, the boat, in addition to powerful weapons, has excellent autonomy and comfort for the crew. The boat could stand at anchor under the ice. Yes, now there is a problem with missiles, but it is solvable, there would be a desire not to break, as the Americans want, but to return the boats to service. As for the surface fleet, it is also not worth waiting for Chinese or NATO icebreakers to come to the Arctic. All the same, these are the sea borders from which all of Russia opens. For clarity, a photo of the boat of a potential enemy.

        The Fisher Space Pen was developed by the private firm Fisher Spacepen Co., which had no affiliation with NASA. The pen was originally created not for astronauts at all, but for the free market in order to cut money on the worldwide space euphoria

        The writing ball is made of tungsten carbide and is very precisely installed to avoid leakage. Inks are thixotropic - solid in the normal state and liquefy when writing; squeezed out with compressed nitrogen at a pressure of about 2,4 atm. A sliding float separates the ink from the compressed gas. It is claimed that with a pen you can write three times more than a regular ballpoint pen (but this is conditional). She can also write at heights of up to 3810 m. The operating temperature range is from −35 to 120 ° C. Service life is 100 years.

      our geography is an objective reality. Well - stupidly compete with the United States in the number of AUGs of course they could not. But according to our calculations, in 198X they could no longer block shipping through the Atlantic. And precisely because the fleet was in fact imprisoned for only one scenario - a sudden strike before the start of the war against American AUGs. Because our naval commanders themselves did not believe in the destruction of more than half of the operating ABs, it is clear that after that the remaining 6-8 AUGs installed + SOSUS + BPA established undeniable dominance in the Atlantic and the Pacific. And there was nothing to oppose - none of the admirals hoped for the stability of our KUG without air support (which without AB can be provided on its shores).
      And actually at this time, simultaneously with the adoption by the Americans of the "Naval Strategy", ours at sea became clearly defensive - covering Kola and Kamchatka.

      The problem was rather that the USSR, in fact, had no coherent plans for the development of the fleet. As the top commanders did not have an understanding of the role and place of the fleet.
      IVS - began the gradual development of the fleet, with access to the 60th to AB. A few years - Khrushchev - all under the knife. We are building a submarine. A few years - we begin to build large NK, a few years later - AB (albeit in a wretched form of Kiev co-comrades).

      In the USSR (however, as now), the country was not fools. The composition and size of the fleet were scientifically determined and verified depending on the challenges, economic, human, scientific, technical and other capabilities of the country.

      Yeah ...
      see Nikolsky - the first, right in the book, in my opinion had a story about how naval scientists brought a scientific justification for two mutually contradictory attitudes of two General Secretaries for 2 years. wink

            You understand that the militia with the grenade and "Charles F. Adams" are completely different things.

            Impromptu Militia
            "Charles F. Adams" in the 1980s - a pile of scrap metal worth millions to operate. Moreover, his capabilities (and physical wear) are such that he is unable to perform any of the tasks assigned to him.

              ... whose life in combat conditions is calculated literally in hours of combat use (if they did not drown at the pier earlier). A battleship is not a Liberty-class transport ship, you can't slap three pieces a day. And in conditions when the main combat strength on both sides of the front has already been knocked out, it is better to have one than none at all. And yet, almost any warship has good autonomy. So it is quite possible to use it as a floating barracks or hospital. Not necessarily in a war, in case of global cataclysms - too. For example, the likely awakening of a hypervolcano in the Grand Canyon will instantly leave a not too large bitten bagel from the territory of the United States. And what to do with the crowds of refugees?

      Although ... this fleet strategy logically followed from the completely land strategy of the USSR. In other words laughing Zhukov is to blame laughing , with a strategy of throwing armored tanks to the English Channel.
      The fleet in his approach did not have a place at all, and they came up with the idea of ​​blocking communications across the Atlantic. In other words - to save the fleet, we went to Doenitz’s strategy. Well ... and then - smart people were, they understood that the submarines and nuclear submarines themselves would not achieve the goals without the support of the NK. Well, then the growth of the Soviet empire already suggested where to move.

    Various speculations about the exorbitant value of the Navy of the USSR are broken, as if about a rock, about the only fact:
    The budget of the Soviet fleet was less than the budget of the US Navy.

    Something really broke about the rock ... As I understand it, these were the remains of common sense. This is not even a kindergarten. Take the budget for one year and judge it about the cost of the fleets ... Only Oleg can write this.
    What is the cost of Project 949A SSGNs (our famous "Antei", killers of aircraft carriers ")? Huge nuclear ships of almost 15 thousand tons of standard displacement, equipped with two nuclear reactors and carrying 24 shafts for huge granites and 6 torpedo tubes 650-mm and 533-mm caliber cost as much as 226 million Soviet rubles http://www.deepstorm.ru/DeepStorm.files/45-92/nsrs/949A/list.htm.
    But the cost of one frigate, Oliver X Perry (four-four-trough trough with the usual power and the only installation MKNUMX) amounted to 13 million dollars. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/ffg-194.htm
    The cost of our destroyers of the 956 project. ships one and a half times larger than Perry and immeasurably more dangerous and formidable ranged from 90 million rubles at the beginning of the series to 70 million rubles in the middle. Those. the mighty destroyer was almost three times cheaper in rubles than Perry in dollars. http://topwar.ru/19455-poslednie-esmincy-sovetskogo-soyuza-proekt-956.html
    Just don't ask me why. I will not be able to answer the question of how our ships in rubles were cheaper than American ones in dollars. (although there are thoughts on this). But the fact remains - even the most superficial acquaintance with the topic simply cries out to the fact that the ships of the USSR and the USA CANNOT be compared by the cost of their production.
    If the author wanted to make a truly impartial analysis - he would try to calculate differently - either the construction of a fleet similar to the American one but at Soviet prices, or the construction of a fleet like the Soviet one - at American prices.
    Alas, according to the rules of the Russian language, the words "analysis" "impartial" and "Kaptsov" cannot stand side by side. At least - when it comes to aircraft carriers

And the aircraft carrier, which in the United States passed at a price of $ 3 billion, would cost us about 1 billion rubles.
            Although real labor costs (in man-hours) and material costs during the construction of an aircraft carrier in 100 thousand tons will be comparable, build it even in the USA, even in the USSR

        Because prices in the Russian Federation and the USA were determined in completely different ways.
        And the exchange rate of 0.6 was established artificially and actually acted only on a narrow layer of people (business travelers), or as a simple settlement tool, without managerial consequences. There was no convertibility. For the procurement of enterprises, foreign exchange resources were allocated targeted (i.e., excluding the exchange rate).
        And in fact, one could probably only compare as written above, or even taking the whole economy of creating a ship: the amount of labor (we, they), material consumption in tons (with the division by type of materials and setting uniform prices for them - for example, the London Metal Exchange) , energy intensity in nat. expression, etc.
        It is unlikely that anyone did this, but I think this is the only way to count honestly.

      The subtext of the article, it is quite understandable, with a lower resource intensity of the Soviet fleet (both during construction and during operation), it could quite effectively oppose (not compete) with the American one. In my opinion, this was because the financing of the fleet in the USSR occurred on a residual basis (the exception is the construction of SSBNs). Before asking something, the command of the fleet had to substantiate it ten times. At the same time, the political leadership of the country demanded that the Ministry of Defense strictly link the concepts of development (combat complexes) of the Navy with all sorts of doctrines, strategies for in general, and twenty times it was forced to justify everything (count the resources) before refusing / agreeing. As a result, the most "optimal" systems received the right to life. Transferring the analysis of the combat effectiveness of fleets to the sphere of analyzing the exchange rate, it seems to me, will not bring objectivity, since the value of PAPER money is always from the evil one.

                    For the construction of an aircraft carrier about 100 thousand tons of displacement is needed (you will not believe Kars!) About 100 thousand tons of metal and other materials :))) In order to produce 100 thousand tons. metal and other materials (from ore to shipbuilding and other types of steel and other materials) you need a comparable number of man-hours, since the technological level is approximately equivalent (it does not differ by orders of magnitude) and the ore mining conditions are also approximately equivalent. In other words, the materials and labor in 100 thousand aircraft carrier that in the USA and the USSR will be invested approximately the same amount, and how much American / Soviet workers will receive cut paper will be the tenth thing.

                        Why did she turn out to be expensive, Kars? I’m not malicious, because I repeat, I don’t understand tanks. But the high cost / low cost of a product depends on two criteria - firstly, supply and demand for the product, and secondly, the cost of its production. Those. if the device is technically complicated and a lot more material and (or) labor resources are spent on it, then, of course, it costs more - in these same resources, and in cut paper, of course.
                        I’ll try to explain with a simple and very conditional example. Suppose there is a certain tribe in which 10 are people of workers and 5 are dependents (old children). They have only 1 need - food (fish) So, if each worker a day is able to catch 1,5 daily portions of this very fish, then 10 workers will catch 15 portions a day and everyone will be full and happy, but the tribe will do nothing other than catch fish can not. If suddenly one of them came up with a network that allows you to catch more fish and now in one day the employee catches not 1,5, but 2,5 portions of fish - then in order to feed the tribe, only 6 workers will be enough. And 4 employees can do something else (or do nothing at all) - there is still enough food for everyone.
                        So, Kars, you can load these four with some work, but only the kind that 4 people can do. If you try to require them to work for which you need 5 people, then it will not be completed.
                        The same thing with turbines - the high cost indicates that production requires too much material and labor resources, which you do not have, or rather, they are, but they are engaged in other things. And you are preferable to organize the production of, say, cheaper diesel engines than to make turbines diverting resources from other projects.

                        Okay, Kars. Tell me what you say. Here Oleg writes - they say, the Americans built a carrier fleet, but we did not. And therefore, in 1989, the costs of the USSR for the construction of the fleet were much lower than in the USA. Do you agree with this or not? Will you support Oleg’s point of view? Or are you arguing with me for the sake of a dispute? Or do you have some other opinion?

                        Well yes. That's what Antey is estimated at 226 million rubles and Perry - under 200 million dollars ... The level of innovation, the amount of know-how, the complexity of instruments and weapons of the frigate Oliver X Perry is simply 8 orders of magnitude superior to our submarine missile carriers of Project 949A, and about 956 destroyers and there is no question. That there is some kind of "Granite" with some kind of underwater launch ... Here is an American beam Mk-13 - THIS IS YES! :))) A genuine breakthrough in science and technology :)))) And, of course, the American frigate's suspension compared with some kind of antediluvian reactors, Anteev is just an unattainable level of technology ... like a space station in comparison with a Cro-Magnon hut, like a ballistic missile in comparison with a stone hammer, like a gas turbine engine in comparison with a diesel engine .... yes, Kars ? laughing

                        Then what is there to talk about with you at all, Kars? :) But you don’t understand boom-boom in the basics of the economy.
                        The exchange rate of 63 cop to the dollar is artificial, it’s clear to you. And the price of 226 million for Antei is as artificial as the dollar exchange rate - it won’t reach you. Why is that? Yes, because allow the ruble free conversion, i.e. if everyone in the USSR could try to exchange rubles for currency, then the dollar would immediately become much more expensive. Why so, Kars?
                        Yes, for one simple reason - because the amount of competitive goods that the USSR could offer for sale does not correspond to the quantity of goods that he would like to buy. You, Kars, do not understand anything in the economy and think that money is worth something :))) But they are not worth a damn. Do you know how the exchange rate is determined? A country has a volume of goods that it is ready to sell, while in other countries people are ready to buy this volume for currency. That's the whole currency at the disposal of the state :)))) This is a dollar offer. And demand, Kars, is formed from the desire to buy foreign goods. Well, if a country wants to buy imported goods in an amount greater than it can sell its own, then the currency begins to rise in price. It was so in the USSR.
                        You, Kars, don’t understand that the cost of a product DOES NOT AT ALL be compared through the dollar exchange rate. Because the exchange rate shows the ratio of those who would like to buy a dollar and those who would like to sell it. All this has nothing to do with the cost of producing a particular product.
                        And what does the appreciation of the dollar mean?
                        The only thing is that for an imported product (since dollars were bought at an exorbitant price for it), the reseller starts asking for a much higher price than they would for a similar Soviet product. Because the LIKE goods produced in the USSR BEGINS TO COST CHEAPER imported.
                        And what happens in this case? But it’s very simple - own goods begin to rise in price to the level of import :)))
                        If you, Kars, would have thought at least a little yourself, and not with newspaper cliches, then perhaps it would have come to you - since the days of the USSR, in Russia the cost of goods as a whole has come close to similar imported ones. Now a kilo of cooked sausage 300 rub costs, i.e. 10 bucks, about. And in the USSR it cost 2 rubles 90 kopecks and if you take the exchange rate at least 10 rubles for a dollar, it turns out that in the USSR sausages cost only 29 cents :))) Kars, if the REAL cost of our goods were so low, as you thought up to yourself, the USSR, after being introduced into the market, would become the ruler of the world :)))
                        If a miracle had happened and the USSR would have introduced the free conversion of the dollar in 1989, of course, the ruble would have collapsed from 0,63 to 15-20 or maybe more than a dollar (the buffoon knows what the exchange rate would be). Do you understand that? . But what you didn’t understand - the cost of the same Anthea would immediately soar from 226 million rubles into heaven.
                        Yours (and all those who measure the value of goods of the USSR and the USA through unofficial rates), the big mistake is that you take the MARKET dollar rate and compare it with the NON-MARKET price of the goods. Yes, if a market exchange of currency were suddenly introduced in the USSR, but at the same time non-market mechanisms of product pricing were left, that would be true, but such a comparison is completely incorrect.

                  In addition, a number of technical measures taken by the Germans to interfere with the operation of the radar and sonar stations of the ships allowed the submarines to carry out combat operations with almost the same efficiency.

                  Increasing the submersion depth of the submarines, reducing to a minimum the time required to change the depth of immersion, and increasing the speed underwater by the end of the war, made it possible to achieve a situation in which the probability of their defeat remained almost the same.

                  Thus, technical innovations in the issues of anti-submarine defense turned out to be most effective only against submarines of an old design, which had low submarine maneuverable elements.

And the supply of Britain was carried out by ocean, on the American ships "Liberty", which were threshed by the Yankees at a rate of 3 transport / day (a total of 2710 units during the war years) - all to cover the losses of the British merchant fleet.

      Just don't ask me why. I will not be able to answer the question of how our ships in rubles were cheaper than American ones in dollars

      Well, how so))) After all, you love the economy so much))

      Soviet ships were cheaper due to cheap labor. The standard of living in America and the USSR was different
      The greed of the shipyard top managers is growing towards the cost of US ships - here, according to your link:
      Two primary factors causing this increase were the addition of equipment that was not included in the original cost and much higher than anticipated shipbuilding costs.

      Plus do not forget to take into account different tax laws
      Plus, it is not known what the Yankees are hiding under the words program cost (after all, the cost of 194 million per frigate is derived from the cost of the program 10 billion / 52 ships.). But what do these 10 billion mean?
      R&D, there may be repairs and upgrades, infrastructure for the construction and operation of ships, m. operating cost? (as is customary in aviation)

      The fact remains that the US Navy was much more complicated and expensive than the Soviet Navy. At the same time, he did not particularly distinguish himself anywhere. This is evidenced by both the figures of the budgets for 1989 and the actual ship composition. The same Perry Yankees riveted 53 pieces (Soviet analogue - Petrel, built "only" 32 ships)

            One of the "loaves" at the very end of 1985 was slightly damaged by a storm in the plant. A neighbor on the quay wall was slightly "moved" to the mooring lines. And with his propellers he broke the nose cone fairing for the "loaf". Two dock operations, replacement of propellers and fairing. And two new nuclear submarines have been moved to next year's financial plan. As a result, the Arkhangelsk region did not fulfill the five-year plan. Estimate the level of sums ... what

Most likely, he was aware of the REAL value. Do not forget that at that time it was quite a popular phenomenon to "spread" the cost across different ministries.

If we build submarines cheaper than in the USA, destroyers are cheaper than in the USA, then we will build aircraft carriers cheaper than in the USA.

            I just used to be quite closely associated with "Fiolent", they did quite a lot for us. And then for about 10 years he worked in the Crimea at an enterprise together with a large number of factory workers from there (they left when the factory began to turn sour). Naturally, we often talked (and about salaries too).

            And the generals, by the way, didn’t get that much. Net salaries were not striking in size. And on one of the submarines of our division, he knew the midshipman, who received more than the cruiser commander (Pole, length of service, etc.) ... By the way, the Soviet military never received much. It was just that there was practically nowhere to spend in the remote garrison during the year, and there was nothing to spend on it, so they left all the expenses on vacation ...

      The required force of forces was defined as the delivery of two coordinated attacks by forces of two Tu22M regiments, with the support of reconnaissance and electronic warfare. (Tu22, Tu95)
      Those. 3 regiment is a common required outfit of forces. And not just attack aircraft.

    The Navy of the USSR was ruled by competent people who understood their goals and objectives perfectly: despite their smaller budget, the Russian Navy could adequately withstand even the mighty American fleet - the ships performed tasks anywhere in the oceans, defending the interests of their homeland.
    As for the domestic fleet, he did everything that a normal fleet should have done, with the exception of striking targets in the depth of the coast.

    Everything is correct in the article, I practically agree with everything, but I want to add that due to the fact that Literate people controlled the Navy of the USSRit was assumed, for the balance of the USSR fleet, the construction of a series of aircraft carriers pr. 1143.7 "Ulyanovsk", as well as the Yak-141 was created, which was to be placed on ships pr. 1143.1-4 (Kiev • Minsk • Novorossiysk • Admiral Gorshkov). In this case, the Soviet fleet would be in no way inferior to the American one. And only due to the fact that another revolution took place in our country (the top officials wanted to live in a new way) the plans were not implemented.

            Don't just build. ours were negotiating the sale of the Zeppelin in the USSR or the construction of such an aircraft carrier in Germany for the USSR. Germany refused.
            In the shipbuilding program 1946-1955, Mr. Kuznetsov requested the inclusion of 6 large and 6 small aircraft carriers. Stalin rejected and left only 2 small. But under Vissarionych they didn’t have time to lay them down either - he had an advanced in the big cruisers, so they laid them out (although I wish they had been completed, though there were stupid ships, but they would have found use - to accompany the same AUGs )
            Kuznetsov, however, did not accept, and when in 1951 he was returned to the commander-in-chief he continued to demand aircraft carriers - at least small ones. This is how Project 85 was born - under 30 thousand tons, 2 catapults, 40 aircraft and helicopters. Kuznetsov wanted at least 9 of these, but the "great naval commander" Khrushchev Kuznetsov removed and the construction of large ships stopped. Demanding them under Khrushchev became dangerous to health
            But a few years after Khrushchev left, the sailors again begin to demand aircraft carriers. In 1969, the design of an 80-ton nuclear power plant with catapults and an air group of 70 aircraft began. But now a new "naval commander" appears on the scene - Ustinov, and instead of normal aircraft carriers, our sailors have to be content with a Kiev-type aircraft carrier Gorshkov does not give up, and already by the mid-70s he is pushing through Project 1153 - an atomic AB with catapults but less than 1160. But in 1976, Gorshkov dies - and the project is shredded again, and only 10 years later Kuznetsov was laid
            In general, our sailors CONSTANTLY requested aircraft carriers. And here are the high leaders in the person of Stalin. Khrushchev, Ustinov and others - who knew little about the fleet at all - constantly opposed the sailors in this matter.

Put on conservation, wait for years until we develop a jet carrier-based aircraft, then rebuild the Zeppelin a little more than completely - dismantle carts and weak catapults, install an angular deck ... Or in 1946, develop a deck-based propeller fighter for it? Do you even remember that the ship's turbines were blown up (it was actually possible to commission 2 of 4) - and the same applied to power plants and elevators?
                And even in spite of all this, Kuznetsov asked him to finish building - he went to the shipyard of the shipbuilding industry and even secured the consent of the Baltic Shipyard to carry out the necessary work. the decision to destroy Zeppelin was by no means taken by sailors.

(although not a fact, I know not by hearsay when serving on THREAD about troubles with catapults) But could you build? Is it ok to keep it after construction? Well, we did not have the infrastructure for these ships ... And it cost much more to create it than to build the ship itself. And without this there were enough troubles even with those, as you put it, "non-aviation carriers" ... Was it worth it to "open the beak" for something more under these conditions?

The fundamental difference is that if in those days the victory in the war was decided by the weapons that were produced during the war, then the modern war will be decided by the weapons that were produced before the war. Now it’s impossible to deploy Su-35 production out of nothing and dozens of aircraft carriers and battleships like the USA cannot build in WWII. What they did before the war, they will have to fight.

                      Nobody will win a nuclear war ... non-nuclear ... we will have the same alignment in the economy. Mob reserve and the ability to quickly make up for losses will be decisive.

                      The nuclear submarine, with all their complexities, is still a much more compact machine than even the aircraft carrier. (I’m not talking about a full-fledged AB. So it’s simpler with docks and boathouses. Do not forget that the complexity of construction grows exponentially along with the tonnage. And it’s not because of "harmfulness" that they always tried to limit the tonnage.

                      And the problem with the nuclear submarines in the south was precisely in their power plant and the "status of the straits." After all, we could carry out TAKRs there only by completely disarming them. It is strange that you are not aware of this "feature". Turkey is a NATO country if anything ... And now we don't have the Nikolaev shipyards either ... There is more or less only Severodvinsk left - but it is not capable of much without a very serious modernization.

      I support = +. The article is not objective and essentially pursues the goal of weakening the country's defense capability. The role of aircraft carriers in the Pacific War in WWII is enormous, and it would be nice to remember the author of the Falkland War. The USSR did not build aircraft carriers under Stalin on the basis of a lag in understanding of their need for balance fleet (for example, anti-carrier ships would be useful in guarding convoys in the Second World War), later guided by political motives (aircraft carrier-weapon of aggression). According to the author, the American military leadership is suckers, since huge funds were squandered into useless AUGs, I doubt it very much. Somehow, we suspiciously cut and sold our aircraft carriers in the 90s, probably not without clues from across the ocean. The significance of aircraft carriers and other high-tech weapons: stealth aircraft, avax; - All this significantly increased the prestige of the United States. The USSR lost in the ideological struggle, which led to an increase in Westernist sentiment. The result is tragic, the formation of prerequisites for the collapse of the USSR.

    The Second World War showed the role of aircraft carriers, the fact that in the USSR they finally decided to make them in the classic version (Ulyanovsk) already says that the Navy did not have enough of them. Another thing is that the creation of a similar US fleet of the USSR was not affordable. As now, Russia cannot afford to maintain and build an aircraft carrier fleet. So the bet on an asymmetric answer was rather logical. The economy, material and technical base did not correspond to the USA and now it does not correspond to the USA, China ...
    Was the asymmetric answer of the USSR successful? Probably, one can judge by the possibility of realizing the main goals. Well, with the submarines, it’s clear that the Americans would strike with their Ohio practically without problems. Ours would have done too, but I don’t know how many boats would have been lost before the strike. The secrecy of our submarines was worse, as was the ability to detect American submarines.
    As with the USA AUG. Perhaps some aircraft carriers sank. Well, of course, not all. I read somewhere that every submarine of the USSR, after leaving the base, passed the US nuclear submarine, maybe not one. And Oscars, of course, too. I think it’s not worth seriously considering the capabilities of other carriers of guided missile weapons — surface ships, airplanes, and they are unlikely to be able to approach the launch line even without the influence of ACG.
    And most importantly. Large-scale war is the final and unlikely version of the conflict. During the Cold War, the fleet had other, not apocalyptic, tasks. Including projection of force, impact in a local conflict. And here the US fleet was and is out of competition.

Now the Soviet Navy is also dragged into this. And the Soviet Navy did not have aircraft carriers because they decided so "at the top", and he got out as best he could without them. And he got out of it ... But why didn’t you come up with a simple idea that it was much easier to do it with aircraft carriers ... Probably you didn’t think about it, Oleg? .. Or maybe you pretended not to thought ...

    The author makes the same mistake as many others before him. Well, you can’t compare the fleets of the United States and Russia so flat. All American ACGs are a threat to third world countries, but not Russia. Because in the water surrounding Russia, the average annual sea swell does not allow the use of carrier-based aircraft. In the Barents and Okhotsk seas, the variability of weather is such that it took off, and there is no where else to land. It is not without reason that our Kuznetsov goes to the Mediterranean Sea for training pilots. And in the Baltic and Black Seas, the American AUG is too vulnerable. The main threat to Russia is the multipurpose nuclear submarines with cruise missiles on board.

    In Soviet times, there was talk among the officers that in the United States the cost of building a ship included the cost of building piers and the entire base structure. And only in the beginning of the 80s did we begin to build at least housing for a new crew.
    The article is very good, our fleet, from my technical background, was balanced and allowed us to solve all the problems of that time. But this phrase is completely incorrect:
    "Soviet KIK (ships of the measuring complex) were regularly on duty at the Kwajalein missile range (Pacific Ocean), observing the trajectories and behavior of the warheads of American ICBMs, they were monitoring launches from foreign cosmodromes - the USSR was aware of all the missile innovations of the" potential enemy ". Such a duty was only in the early 60s in a very short period of time. KIKi performed tasks agreed with the Strategic Missile Forces, but not with the intelligence of the Navy.

    The main problem of the Soviet Navy (however, now the situation has changed little) was not its seeming "low efficiency" and not the lack of AUG (I personally believe that the idea of ​​the aircraft carrier is much more consistent with our doctrine) but the neglect of the coastal infrastructure. We have always formed it according to the "residual principle". The enthusiasm for the "number of keels" with a very unclear system of their further operation and repair did not lead to anything good.
    Another point is also vaguely formed "terms of reference" - as a result, a new ship had to be riveted for each new weapon system. These ships, "sharpened" for a specific type of weapon, were practically not subject to modernization.

    It's offensive. Because in reality the Soviet Navy was the only fighting force capable of challenging (and accepting) the Anglo-Saxon domination of the seas. In principle, not so much is needed for this. And it does not require (even now) the deployment of the next "tonnage" race.

    The article frankly surprised me, I just do not understand why? Why did the aircraft carrier move Oleg’s affiliation that frank r already started ... Some comparisons of cost in different coordinate systems, completely incomprehensible statements about the effectiveness of one and the futility of the other. Type phrases
    “The domestic fleet did not have bulky and monstrously expensive helicopter docks like the American Wasp and Taravas.” But the USSR Navy had 153 large and medium landing ships, trained marine units, as well as 14 old artillery cruisers and 17 destroyers with automated 130 mm guns for fire support "are generally awesome (you see 184 large ships cost the USSR nothing, but the Wasps ..)))
    That can explain why one person considers himself smarter than analysts of the US Navy (well, dibs, okay), analysts and sailors of the USSR who constantly demanded aircraft carriers (aa, well, fools, okay here), smarter than analysts of many fleets of the world, who are massively build or order aircraft carriers (well, these are generally downs, the position is clear).
    Why does a person not understand that a balanced fleet cannot consist of submarines alone? Well, the USA, it has bases all over the world, but what about the rest of the countries?
    Yes, and I think about smart, honest and knowledgeable admirals, it was painfully fast and fiercely they sold everything they could reach in the 90s, and these same naval commanders, commanders-in-chief, etc. stole.

      Just now you need to look not at the aircraft carrier, but at the plane on this aircraft carrier. The main advantage for commercial aircraft carrier years before the 70s was its massive and instant use on remote TVDs, which was achieved by a large number of relatively cheap aircraft on an aircraft carrier. Now this plane has grown three times in price by 10 times, and the ship has remained the same, problems have been identified for their effective combat use.

    In general, the article in my opinion is correct + The Soviet fleet had other tasks (unlike the American one), and even in the absence of the AUG adequately represented its country. And with all the (indisputable) power of the American, it was the only force in the world that could adequately resist it .And the USSR always managed to resist the threats with "less blood" than Ameram. Yes, and now I think "tearing the navel" of the building is also not worth it. I am sure that now (or in the near future) Russia will find a "symmetrical" answer "not chasing tonnage" as the Taoist correctly noted.

    Obviously, this impressive set of weapons had an overwhelming cost, but could not solve the task assigned to it - the problem of effective counteraction by the American ACG remained in question.
    The effectiveness of American AUG is questionable. Except for it is very expensive to shake your muscles. I have a question for the author, but how was this "impressive set of weapons" supposed to solve the assigned task? Sink the AUG to hell or what?

    mmm guys, but logically, where can we get an aircraft carrier from? only from the Pacific Ocean. in the North, he has nothing to do, or combine him with an icebreaker. In the Baltic, he will scrape all the shallows under the bottom, and where is he going? Denmark will not let it out; will smelt in St. Petersburg be protected? The same situation with the Black Sea, only from Turkey. Also, there is little room for maneuver in the Baltic and Black and his aircraft will lay down very quickly despite all the cover.
    Speaking of the submarine - the story is quite famous in my opinion how our submarine wrapped their ultramodern submarine detection system on the screw. So swearing that the submarines are noticeable is not worth much.

        It is not a shame, but we must finally admit that in the event of a major war, our fleet in the world’s oceans does not shine even with aircraft carriers, even without. Against the fleets of the United States, the rest of NATO, and allies such as Japan. Therefore, the main role of the fleet is to protect the coast, closed marine territories (the Northern Sea Route, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the Baltic with the Black and Caspian) and solve problems in local conflicts. Carriers are needed, but we have less damn land aviation than amers aircraft carriers. Be realistic.

          What would have stopped them? Maybe the fact that the US AUG, instead of grazing in the Mediterranean, preparing "tomahawks" for shelling our infrastructure, would be wound somewhere near Greenland? And that part of NATO fighter aircraft would have to be sent to cover anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters? And, accordingly, all this splendor would no longer prevent our tanks from going to the English Channel?
          By the way, where does such terrible pessimism come from? In contrast to our AMG, the United States would be able to deploy the 3-4 AUG from the force - and given the fact that Anthei would be part of our submarine squadrons ... in general, I’m not so envious of the United States

        Operation Atrina is a military operation conducted by the USSR Navy in 1987. It consisted of secretly (bypassing the previous exit routes) deployment of the 33-th submarine division of the Northern Fleet in the Atlantic Ocean with the aim of revealing patrol areas of US SSBNs.
        The operation demonstrated the ability of the USSR Navy, in the event of a threat of conflict, to deploy a large submarine group with SLBMs on board off the coast of the United States - thus balancing the US Navy’s naval system around the world. This fact was of great political importance - before the Atrin operation, Soviet nuclear submarines were accompanied by American observer ships all the way and could be immediately destroyed if the war started.
        The operation also revealed the strength of the US PLO in the Atlantic (the American command was aware of the fact that the boats entered the Atlantic, and considerable forces were thrown at their detection, including the British KKE led by the aircraft carrier Invincible) and the tactics of their joint actions to find the enemy.

          2) NATO's PLO forces were still much weaker than those that would oppose our fleet if the war broke out
          3) Our submarines had the task of secretly passing to a certain point. They have passed. But such a passage only makes sense for shelling with Granites from the JBCH coast of the United States. Walking with a quiet mouse, not even able to swim up for a communication session ... And when will the combat tasks be solved?
          4) operation was performed by the best of the best - 33-I division. Not everyone had this level of training.

            Very worried that the USSR’s nuclear submarine division was moving toward the shores of America for unknown purposes, moving stealthily and uncontrollably, the Pentagon threw dozens of patrol aircraft and powerful anti-submarine forces to search for the veil.
            It was a real hunt using all means of search and detection of submarines. Radio direction finders and radars worked, sonars of surface ships were probed by ultrasonic rays of the depths of the Atlantic.
            Airplanes of base and deck patrol aviation circled the ocean around the clock, exposing the barriers of sonar buoys, using on-board search equipment in all modes: magnetometers, heat direction finders, bio-sequence indicators ... The SOSUS hydrophones located on the elevations of the ocean bed, and space reconnaissance equipment worked. But a day passed, the second, the third, and the disappeared division of nuclear-powered ships was not noted on any screens and displays. For eight days, our ships were practically inaccessible to the American anti-submarine forces. They entered the Sargasso Sea in the notorious Bermuda Triangle, where the K-219 nuclear missile boat died a year ago, and, not reaching several tens of miles to the British naval base Hamilton, where, incidentally, American ships and planes are based since 1940. abruptly changed course.
            Soon, the chief of intelligence of the Navy reported "Six nuclear submarines came out of Norfolk to search for Shevchenko's detachment." This is not counting those who were already on routine combat patrols in the Atlantic. Three squadrons of anti-submarine aircraft, three naval search and strike groups, one of them being British led by an aircraft carrier of the Invincible class, and three long-range hydroacoustic reconnaissance ships, were thrown into opposition to us. The American sailors did not quite correctly classify our submarines, defining them as purely missile - the division operated in a mixed composition. US President Reagan was informed that Russian missile submarines are dangerously close to the shores of America. That is why such a large search and strike force was sent against the Soviet submariners.
            The successful operation of the Aport and Atrina operations confirmed the assumption that the US Navy, with the massive use of modern USSR nuclear submarines, will not be able to organize any effective countermeasures against it. At the deployment stage, our submariners are quite capable of actively overcoming all barriers both east of Greenland along the main route using various tactical developments and west of Greenland through the Canadian archipelago due to the excellent seaworthiness of our submarines. After entering the North Atlantic in one way or another, the submarines gained freedom of maneuver and the opportunity to fulfill their main tasks - to disrupt the nuclear strike on the territory of the Soviet Union and to disrupt strategic military transport from the United States and Canada to Europe. In the course of the operations described, submariners successfully found and escorted both American SSBNs (the quietest and most protected targets), and other ships and submarines, and military, and even more civilian - and, therefore, had the opportunity to destroy them with the outbreak of hostilities. It should be noted that, from a military point of view, both Operation Aport and Operation Atrina were carried out almost flawlessly.

    our apls died very quickly in the event of a real conflict, the sailors themselves admitted it and no one ever argued with this, everything is in numerous memoirs and memoirs. One of the key elements ensuring the rapid death of apl is the complete superiority in air of a probable enemy (opponents). Read the memories of submariners and what do we see? Maybe submariners dreamed of a super torpedo? or about a meter thick case made of titanium? maybe they dreamed of diving for many kilometers? Somehow there are no such thoughts. On the other hand, one thought goes by, the bitches are circling above us, they are throwing buoys and magnetometers are working, and our boats are huge, if only we could cover it, drive it away, but we don’t have our aviation in the ocean and there are no bases at all corners, we’ll have some kind of aircraft carrier . And the naval commanders of the USSR understood this and there is no sadder story in the world than the history of the Soviet aircraft carrier)
    I'm not even talking about the fact that the aircraft carrier has a bunch of other tasks, from a sharp reinforcement of any surface formation for actions against enemy ships, along the coast, to reconnaissance and additional reconnaissance of targets, as well as providing target designation at huge ranges, and all this - very promptly with an extremely short reaction time + this weapon is in the hands of the direct commander (say, an admiral), in contrast to how to drive the Legend system satellite (which cost a hell of a lot, and the life span of a zilch, also a nuclear reactor at startup)

    First of all, it is worth noting a good and easy language of the author, and an excellent photographic selection.
    As for the essence of the issue, the "asymmetric" strategy for the development of the Soviet fleet adopted in the 50s was a consequence of the economic and technological impossibility of building a fleet similar to the American one and the fact that the main danger for the USSR was a nuclear missile strike from a potential adversary. Hence the emphasis on nuclear submarines and anti-submarine warfare And this, of course, was completely justified (although there were problems - unimportant coastal infrastructure and a variety of ships).
    Another thing is that many Soviet sailors dreamed of a "global fleet" and asked the Central Committee for aircraft carriers.
    And finally, in the 80s, after the creation of the nuclear missile shield and the corresponding production facilities, their dreams began to come true.
    So if it were not for "perestroika", most likely in the USSR they would have started to create full-fledged atomic AUG.

        Well, the Soviet economy, first of all, was crippled by an extremely inept (and in fact criminal) transition to "market rails".
        As regards military programs, aircraft carriers could be useful in the event of a struggle for influence over the countries of the 3rd world, although of course this was not a priority program. The space program was generally extremely useful, both from a technological point of view and from the ideological side.
        But the strategy of large-scale preparation for a global war after the formation of a sufficient "nuclear shield" by the beginning of the 70s was fundamentally wrong. It was clear that a large-scale war in Europe was suicidal for both sides, so that further rearmament of the Ground Forces and the Strategic Missile Forces was clearly excessive ...
        Well, the Khrushchev conflict with China was also at the top of idiocy, because of which we had to concentrate huge forces on the Far Eastern theater.

In the Baltic? In the North? Look at the map, open your eyes. In Black and Baltic The aircraft carrier is LOCKED !!! North? And, have you seen the northern storm? Compared with it, the Bay of Biscay kitten. So where will OUR aircraft carrier come in handy? At the Pacific Fleet? In principle, it can. You just need to somehow slip our AUG past Japan, so as not to be found. [/ quote] "

    .. partly agree, partly object .. the use of Kuznetsov in the Northern Fleet shows the possibility of having such a class of ship in the Northern Fleet, there are purely technical problems: 1. Aerofinishes - we have dealt with this, but there are no Americans, therefore their AUGs, they are simply not functional in the Northern latitudes :)
    2. The use of a steam catapult is impossible, ours has long been told about this and require, if a project appears, it is only electromagnetic :)
    3. A clean aircraft carrier is still a very "controversial weapon" because of the useful range of carrier-based aircraft, but the armament layout of the Kuznetsov TAVRK is more successful in its flexibility .. air group + anti-ship missiles ... it was not for nothing that our designers received salaries in Soviet times .. :)
    .. in the Pacific Ocean, the presence of AUG is definitely necessary .. but all this is more a "demonstration of the flag" and a subject of show .. :)

    What is this article about? Yes, nothing! How can two different fleets be compared both in composition and in tasks ?! This is up clinical idiocy! I don’t understand what to discuss here!
    PS For the gifted - the USSR did not need a fleet the same fleet as in the USA - our countries have different tasks and different geography.
    PS2 I see the value of ACG exclusively in counter-warfare. Actually, for this, the United States used them. The USAG does not pose a threat to Russia - an ordinary giant guarded barge. Drum and ICL nuclear submarine our all.

    Khrushchev, not Khrushchev, it's not about him. And in the ideologization of our then state. Party, i.e. The secretary general or the Politburo decided that we would wage the war with little blood on foreign territory, and in the academies and in the troops, the same firmly forgot what defensive operations are. And whoever tried to remember - so the stigma of a defeatist and an enemy of the people, and a bunk at best. The same thing happened with aircraft carriers, they were declared a weapon of imperialist aggression. After that, it was simply not comme il faut to build aircraft carriers ourselves - it turns out that we are also the same aggressors. But we were so peaceful that we established peace in Afghanistan. By the way, there were rumors in the Navy that Sergei Georgievich Gorshkov then said something like "it's good that there is no sea in Afghanistan!"
    Yes, an aircraft carrier cannot provide such a large number of sorties as ground-based aviation. But what water area is controlled by AUG in three dimensions at once! And underwater with the help of multi-purpose submarines, and on the surface of the water, and in the air with the help of AWACS aircraft, and even the satellites here must be added. Moreover, if we take into account that all this is connected by a computer network, that is, a lighting system for underwater, surface and air conditions, you get something so complex, very suitable for modern network-centric wars. Anyway, deploy under cover of AUG SSBN, control large areas of the oceans. They weren’t great naval commanders as idiots, they understood everything very well - just imagine 5 OPESK in Middle East in the 80s, headed by a real aircraft carrier, and as a part of a cruiser, several destroyers of the 956th project and the 1155th BOD project.
    The fleet twisted out as best he could - built some semblance of aircraft carriers, stuffed them with anti-ship missile systems, and called them cruisers. Well, yes, planes fly, but it’s so, the main thing is that the ship has strike weapons, it’s a cruiser, guys, we, peace-loving, need planes so simply for entertainment.

    ZY I recommend re-reading V. Pikul. "Requiem for the PQ-17 caravan" There he described how our sailors SPECIALLY laid out the pallet space with bricks in order to get out of the critical roll point. Because during a storm in the north, such excitement arises that a ship or vessel could easily overkill.

    what combat duty? Have you seen the device of steam catapults? They CANNOT operate at air temperatures below zero. in a minute the deck will be an ice rink, like the cart itself. the British, by the way, for the same reason cannot build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the French de Gaulle is panicky afraid of even moderate latitudes.
    In addition to these reasons, I would like to recommend buying a globe to all Russian amateur aircraft carriers. to compare the location of the USSR (eastern block) and the United States, to measure with ruler the distance from the borders of the eastern block to Africa / Asia and compare the same distance from another point, from the United States.
    I would also like to ask where they were going to land massed marines. to washington? in London? or maybe Osaka?

    Respect to the author! Fans of breezing about the fact that our Navy in Soviet times is nothing, more often than not they themselves know little about this subject, safely having dismissed both from service on it and from work there. And with all the flaws of the long-standing Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of Gorshkov, he managed with a reliable team to form the backbone of the ocean fleet. And the fact that everything was not going smoothly, so in the beginning of the 80s I had a chance to see myself and to hear from naval officers exactly :))

    The USSR at one time and Russia even more so cannot have and maintain a decent carrier fleet due to its geography !!! America is washed by 2 oceans inhabited by millions of people and the entire infrastructure for the creation and maintenance of AOG has long been built - in Russia, only the territory of the Far East is suitable for the construction of shipbuilding capacities - but for this it is necessary to invest tremendous money in the development of this region + to attract people the masses, as the USSR did at one time for the development of the North ...
    Further America, the Carrier Fleet is still necessary to control its vast Pacific possessions - to control the islands and coast of Russia, a fleet would be enough and more modest ...

    And so - for the sake of reporting, Russia can of course build a couple of aircraft carriers - but who will you surprise with this? It seems to me that Russia still needs to look for its own asymmetric response to the threat of AUG-ok potential "friends" ...

    I think that Washington will be very happy if Russia starts playing catch-up games with the West again !!!

    I just did not understand one thing - our sailors and pilots could have sunk an aircraft carrier (without using atomic weapons). In some publications they write that aircraft carriers are unsinkable, in others - that `` one pill is enough '', and what in reality. Although it is not necessary to sink it, it is enough to inflict damage to create a roll, and not one plane will take off.

      Your question can be answered unequivocally YES. Suffice it to recall the incident off the coast of Vietnam. Then there was a spontaneous launch of a Zuni missile (this is like our C-5) from an aircraft block on one of the aircraft carriers (unfortunately I forgot which one). As a result, the fire raged for several days and the ship was barely saved at the cost of heavy casualties among the personnel. The main armament of the Tu 22 M3 is the Kh-22 rocket. Even if we take the OCH charge, then the approximate damage is a hole of 20 square meters and burning through the interior of the ship at a distance of 12 - 25 m. I will not talk about the newer missiles Kh-29, Kh-32, Kh-35, etc. and missiles such as Mosquito, for example. Even the old missiles carried by the TU 16 are KSR-5, of various modifications had the minimum warhead of 450 kg. This is quite enough. Remember 82, the war in the South Atlantic over the Falkland Islands. It was enough to hit one "Exoset" and the modern (at that time) destroyer URO "Sheffield" went to the bottom. You can also recall the Hit of "Aix" in the US frigate "Stark", such as "Oliver X Perry" in Pesidi Bay from an Iraqi plane and how it ended. Compare the performance characteristics of the "Aksa" and our missiles - it will immediately become clear to you.

        To the above, I can add about the X-35. This is a light rocket. Its warhead is only 150 kg and even a fighter can carry it. However, its speed is about 1 km per second. The kinetic energy of its impact is approximately equal to the impact force of a 15-inch shell from a battleship during World War II. This shell sunk Hood in May 1941. "Hood", unlike modern ships and aircraft carriers, had an armor belt of 30 cm. Draw your own conclusion. This missile is guaranteed to penetrate the sides and decks of any modern ship when hit, to the most vital centers.

              I agree, the remark is correct, the memory failed. The X-35 is subsonic, I mean the X-31a. This rocket has a maximum speed of M 3,1 i.e. about 1000 - 800 m / s depending on the altitude. Mechanical strength is a moot point here. Open Vika and look at the section of the X-29 rocket. Here is about the same type of warhead design. In the Kh-29, the warhead was originally intended for highly protected targets, I started it myself and saw the result at the range, and the Kh-31a has an emphasis on high speed. It does not need to pierce the armor belt, which is not available on the small ships for which it is intended, and the durability of course is less than that of an armor-piercing projectile of 15 inches, I did not confirm this. I spoke about the force of the blow, i.e. about kinetic energy when the target hits the side. Well, as for physics, it "has not been canceled yet." Back in 90 or 89, this issue was considered at the seed for combat use. If my memory serves me, then it turned out 75 or 80% of the impact force of the projectile "Bismarck" in "Hood". That's why I gave this example. If interested - count it yourself.

I did not claim that a rocket can penetrate a 30 cm armor belt. I said that a rocket will pierce the side of modern small ships that do not have an armored belt. Perhaps you did not understand me.

                  it is not necessary to compare an armor-piercing projectile and a missile warhead head on. They have completely different methods of hitting the target. The projectile does not maneuver and strikes the target along a ballistic trajectory (the angle of encounter with the armor determines the heading angle and distance to the target), the missile usually hits the ship in the most vulnerable places. (in any case, all our anti-ship missiles, before hitting, make a slide and hit the target on the deck. Second, the mass of the projectile is practically only metal - the mass of the explosive charge is a maximum of 10% of the projectile weight. After all, it is necessary, firstly, to ensure the strength of the projectile when fired, and secondly when The anti-ship missile warhead has the opposite ratio. Armor (or structural protection of the ship) is affected due to the "camulative effect." armor belt of a battleship of the Second World War ... but this is not necessary ... hitting the deck is guaranteed to destroy everything within a radius of 20-30 meters, with a 90% probability it will lead to a loss of progress and failure of all radar equipment (you cannot book an antenna system) Well, if on the way of the "shock core" there is a fuel tank or a shell cellar then ... you understand. Modern structural protection is still capable of "removing" lung hits Anti-ship missiles such as Harpoon or X-35 ... but the hit of Granite is guaranteed to "lay down" any ship.

                        sank 12 minutes after being hit. "


                        How was it? This was the first launch with military equipment and not inert, before that the cruiser was launched several times with inert.

                        In June 1953 he was sunk as a target while testing the Kometa anti-ship missiles of the air-to-sea class

                        there is another option

                        The experiment was built according to this plan. The rudders were laid and fixed on the ship so that it cruised in a circle. The cruising speed was developing. The entire team was filming from the "Red Caucasus" and on torpedo boats retreated to a safe distance from it. After the completion of this procedure, the carrier aircraft prepared for a combat flight rose from the airfield, and then everything was performed as in flight with an analogue: the carrier's radar operator detected and took the target for autotracking, the projectile aircraft operator prepared it for launch, at a distance of 130 up to 70 km, the projectile was detached, entered the carrier's radar beam and went to the target. As a rule, the shell hit the middle part of the ship and "pierced" the cruiser through and through. There were three holes on the attacked side - one large, the size of the fuselage of the projectile plane, and two small ones, the diameter of the cargo at the ends of its wings. The wings of the projectile were cut like a piece of paper with scissors. At the exit, a side with an area of ​​more than 10 square meters broke out. However, the "Red Caucasus" remained afloat and continued to move in a circle.

                        After each such launch, the cruiser crew quickly returned to the ship and carried out urgent and urgent emergency work. Then the "Krasny Kavkaz" went to the base, was repaired within a very short time and again went out for tests at sea. Meanwhile, naval experts, when asked whether the cruiser would sink when one hit the shell with the adopted warhead, answered that it is impossible. Well, if so, they decided during the final experiment to launch a projectile with a warhead.
                        http://www.ng.ru/history/2002-11-22/5_caucasus.html

                        On November 21, 1952, at the end of testing the Comet rocket complex (KS-1 on Tu-4K), the tested cruise missile was equipped with a warhead. As a result of a missile hit, the ship broke into two parts, which sank in less than 3 minutes. Estimated location of the ship’s death: 15 miles south of Cape Chaud, the Gulf of Feodosia.
                        In 1955, the Guards training ship "Red Caucasus" was excluded from the list of naval personnel of the USSR Navy. The name "Red Caucasus" was transferred to a large anti-submarine ship (BOD).

                        An extremely unrealistic story. From the category of hunting tales. Target with a displacement of a cruiser on the move and without control? In any case, the journal of the "sandy balka" landfill did not mention such delights. When shooting at moving targets, boats with telecontrol and size simulators have always been used.

                        Perhaps, but not necessarily. Here is a description of a similar test with a similar outcome.

                        "In June 1961, the cruiser" Admiral Nakhimov "was withdrawn
                        in tow from Sevastopol and set aside for 45 — 50 miles in
                        side of Odessa. The deserted cruiser drifted slightly.
                        Project rocket ship fired from a distance of 68 km
                        56M "Perspicacious." The missile hit the junction of the spardeck and the side
                        cruisers. A hole formed in the
                        inverted eight with a total area of ​​about 15 m2.
                        As Yu.S. wrote Kuznetsov: “Most of the hole was
                        on spardeck, smaller on board. The hole in the Spardeck belonged
                        Marching engine, on board - warhead
                        in inert equipment. This hole alone is not about
                        it went. The missile "flashed" the cruiser from board to board and went out
                        from the starboard side of the cruiser just under the foremast. Day off
                        the hole was an almost circular hole with an area
                        near 8 m2, while the bottom cut of the hole turned out to be
                        30 — 35 cm below the waterline, and until we got to the cruiser
                        emergency service ships he managed to take
                        inward about 1600 t of sea water. In addition, the cruiser
                        the remains of kerosene spilled, and this caused a fire,
                        which was put out about 12 hours.
                        Prepared for decommissioning the cruiser did not have on board
                        nothing wooden, even the wooden deck was removed, but
                        the fire literally raged - the iron burned, although it is difficult
                        imagine. "(c)

                        “Come out
                        at sea for a second launch. Shooting was carried out by the destroyer, etc.
                        57bis "Wrathful" (captain of the ship, captain 2 of rank Morozov,
                        commander of the warhead II-captain lieutenant Yaskov) with bow

                        side of Odessa. The target (destroyer "Vigilant") on the barrels is not
                        set. The target constantly changed its position due to drift
                        in relation to the shooting director.
                        At the time of the launch of the rocket to the target, both were in one
                        diametrical plane. It’s like a missile was catching a target,
                        therefore flew up to the target from the stern. All this
                        It was recorded as a scheduled survey made with
                        a helicopter that hovered over a target at an altitude of 1500 m.
                        The missile hit the target in the joint of the deck and sides at the base
                        stern flag racks. The result is a rebound and a rocket
                        went along the diametrical plane of the ship above the deck,
                        sweeping away everything in its path. At first it was fodder
                        gun turrets, then superstructures with located
                        on them with a rangefinder post, then aft
                        torpedo tubes, etc. Everything was swept overboard, right up to
                        to the forecastle.
                        Then the rocket entered along the forecastle, cutting it along,
                        like a can opener. Motion generation slowed down a bit
                        and the rocket stuck in the area of ​​the bow 130-mm guns.
                        At the same time, the dock mast fell on one side, and the bridge with
                        KDP and another weapon of the main caliber - on the other.
                        If the commission on the XI-61 did not take a picture
                        the target before launch, probably no one would have believed
                        what can be done with a ship with one missile, yes
                        still rocket in an inert state. It should be noted
                        that the target was burning in several places. "(c)

                        This is certainly not a battleship, but it is a very illustrative example of the power of heavy Soviet anti-ship missiles. The hit of even 1 such fool, if it did not sink, was guaranteed to turn a ship of any tonnage into a pile of unusable scrap metal. It’s scary to me even to imagine getting such a missile into the hangar deck of an aircraft carrier. Moreover, even theoretically, there is no protection against Granite-class missiles when they are launched in salvo ... The time from the moment the missile is discovered until it hits is too short. Another question is that in order to carry missiles of this class and ships, it was necessary to build the appropriate ...

                        In these cases, the armor was almost not used. One question about the outlet part of which was below the waterline.

                        As for the hits - for example, an Israeli corvette or something there (I'm not talking about Eilat) I got an analogue of Termite of Iranian production in a helipad and did not lose combat readiness.

                        Once such a conversation started, I will ask a question that interests me - how do you personally feel about using armor from 50 to 200 mm thick integrated into the skin (well, use it as skin) on new ships to protect against subsonic anti-ship missiles of the Harpoon / exoset class and minimize damage from more powerful missiles and fragments of anti-ship missiles after their destruction by artillery-missile systems of the ship.


                        And about the Cumulative High-explosive warhead (although you may have more complete information), I believe that this is a warhead with a cumulative wide-focus funnel designed not to break through armor and form a pest from the cladding, but to give the general direction of the explosion into a block of the ship's hull.

                        That corvette was insanely lucky ... The helipad is a light construction at the very tip of the ship ... Apparently, the entire "force" of the strike went past the hull and only the platform was damaged. However, in the war at sea there are many examples of the opposite kind. (the same Hood - flew into the air due to an extremely unlikely coincidence of circumstances)

                        However, this is unprincipled. Constructive protection (including booking) certainly needs to be applied (though they do). I think Sheffield’s fate was quite indicative. Armor, of course, will not protect against serious toys, but it will increase combat stability.

                        And you are absolutely right, the cumulative effect of warheads of modern anti-ship missiles is not so much designed to penetrate armor as to the maximum depth of damage. However, in order to withstand even such a warhead it would be necessary to have deck reservations of completely unacceptable thicknesses. Or to have structural protection like PTZ - which is also unlikely.
                        But considering probabilities is a thankless task. In any case, in the same textbook on naval aviation tactics that we taught to disable the AUG (not sinking, but "guaranteed incapacitation"), it was considered sufficient to break through the air defense of the compound and hit only 3-4 X-15 missiles. (From 15-18 missiles in a salvo). On Granites, to defeat the AUG, one "half-salvo" was required - 12 missiles ... (again, in the presence of stable target designation. On Mosquitoes, everything is more interesting there - every second missile in a volley was guaranteed to break through. (the range of 100 km is in the close-guarded zone ...) However, Luni (especially near our shores) were quite capable of this. (They were almost not detected due to the effect of the "underlying surface" and the damping of radio waves by water dust. ... thank God, not tested in practice.

                        With a wide-focus funnel without a pestle - which is the main armor-piercing moment - the protection should not acquire a large thickness. The armor-piercing cumulative part of the caliber of 100-125 mm penetrates a hole of only 2-4 mm in diameter. I think a thickness of 50 mm minimizes damage, and 150- 200 will be able to reflect the shock wave.

                        Well, for sure I won’t answer you - there are no numbers or directories at hand, but keep in mind that the growth there is exponential. And if we try to cover at least 200 mm of armor with the deck of an aircraft carrier ... then it will not be an aircraft carrier, but something absolutely gigantic. Or its significance as an aircraft carrier will be minimized. Now booking is quite actively used (take our same Orlans ...). But they are booked very selectively. Armor will definitely lose to the projectile - so its use must be very, very seriously calculated.

                        Well, I can only say "learn the materiel" - the spread when firing cannon artillery is explained by different temperatures, shooting the barrel, and changes in external influences. In Railgun, this is perfectly readable and compensated along the way by a change in the current (equivalent to a change in the powder charge - but many orders of magnitude more accurate.) We also cover that with an increase in speed (and this is a square, the flight time of the projectile decreases and, as a consequence, the influence of the environment. all other things being equal, the railgun will always be more accurate.Well, at the expense of mother damp earth ... meteorites with their cosmic velocities are also just cobblestones - however nuclear explodes will envy ... Everything rests on the same component ... velocity. artillery, we already have a ceiling ... And by the way, no armor will help you, because if there is at least a pair of Bal, or Yakhont batteries on the shore ... then they will cover you before your trough makes a couple of volleys ... The radius is larger (For normal cannon even with an active projectile is 90 km limit) and anti-ship missiles hit by 2-3 hundreds ... Yes, the armor may not let you drown, but it will also be impossible to shoot, antennas, settings and everything that is not covered by armor will turn into a colander. if the ranges are comparable and you can count on that you will have time ... However, this is all pure fiction - no one will even think of building such monsters in the foreseeable period of time ... because they just don't need nafig. Expensive, but count the goals for them ... Papuans can be killed with much cheaper means ... but against a serious opponent this chest does not pull.

                        Glad for you that you can calculate all this. Especially - external influences :))) You, of course, know the air temperature throughout the flight of the projectile, the map of winds throughout the route was transmitted to you personally by the Lord God, with an indication of which millisecond in which direction and with what force the wind will blow in the moment of flight of the projectile. Of course, about such trifles as air humidity throughout the route will come to you with the personal signature of the Archangel Gabriel.

                        I am glad that you managed to learn the formula about e um tse in the square. But I want to note that with increasing speed, the flight time of the projectile does not so much decrease, but the DISTANCE on which the projectile flies increases :))) The projectile, if anything, can hit a ground target outside the line of sight only by flying along a parabola. And if you need to hit a target, say, in 200 km, then you need to either artificially reduce the speed of the projectile, or increase the length of the parabola - i.e. shoot at the mortar.

                        Well, in vain do you get excited - I understand perfectly well that a railgun is also never a wunderwafer. But with all this, he is able to tell the projectile an order of magnitude greater energies and, more precisely, to dose these same energies. And even if during World War I, without any computers and radars, naval guns managed to give a completely satisfactory percentage of hits for maneuvering targets at distances of twenty dozen, it is clear that the railgun will be at least no less accurate. Well, and how much energy will be released when braking into the ground discs weighing at least a hundred kg at a speed of at least 5-6 km / s is also easy to calculate - something tells me that it will explode ...

                        Yes, he will not have that speed :))) At the end of the shell, the speed drops about half of the initial one. The Railgun’s initial 7,9 km of speed is the absolute limit - not because it can no longer (it just can) but because the shell fired at that speed will not fall to the ground - this is the first space one, so even firing a shell parallel to the ground will go away to near-earth orbit :))) And a shot at a speed of 6-7 km / s will give a fall speed in 3-3,5 km / s. This is not so much.

                        If my memory serves me, it’s just ARSOM that makes a notch of the projectile’s flight path and adjusted for weather conditions gives the position of the enemy’s battery that released them.
                        That generally has nothing to do with adjusting your own fire. Because in order to correct something, you need to know where the target is located (and ARSOM does not know this) and you need to understand where your own projectile fell (during ultra-long range shooting ARSOM will not know this either, since only the insignificant radar will see it part of the projectile trajectory)

                        But this is no longer true. The station is capable of detecting its own shells. So, knowing the coordinates of your fire and target, i.e. ideal trajectory, able to compare it with the real one and provide amendments to the firing unit.

                        Moreover, there is already a station designed exclusively for this kind of work. Part of the Israeli FMS FERA. And allowing you to work with MLRS with a range of up to 160 km.

    Can not. The aircraft carrier, for all its disadvantages, is a more versatile weapon compared to the Republic of Kazakhstan. RK can strike at ALREADY SCOUTED targets, and AN can strike and SCOUT what and where. The main weapon of the Republic of Kazakhstan is anti-ship missiles, and the AN provides anti-aircraft missile defense and missile defense and air defense, and even with the help of aircraft it can also hit anti-ship missiles. Moreover, if my memory serves me correctly, it was planned to equip our aircraft carriers with their own anti-ship missiles, which would make their even more versatile weapons.

      The problem is that the more intense the war, the more profitable it is for the Republicans. That's why Bush got involved in all the wars he could. because the US military-industrial complex is behind the Republicans. if the next one, in 2016, is a Republican (and this is more likely than a Democrat), then we will have a “continuation of the banquet.” even now McCain is trying with all his might to escalate the civil war in Syria, by any means to drag the United States into this war. If we put aside morality, then it is to our advantage that the United States first gets in there, don’t mess around, and then also rake it in full. The problem is that the “second part of Marlezon’s ballet” may not take place. and without this, all sacrifices will be in vain. the best thing that Putin can do is to continue to put pressure “a la Snowden” on the United States, to continue to undermine their internal structure. force the Snowdens to work against the United States, as a result, give them the nineties. the difference will be that with their worship of money, they will not be able to get out of such a mess, they do not have personnel reserves similar to the “putin”.

    Lord! And what is the difference ...... can a missile cruiser carry out the tasks of an aircraft carrier?
    Instead of an airplane, a rocket, in my opinion, is much cheaper .....

    Can not. The aircraft carrier, for all its disadvantages, is a more versatile weapon compared to the Republic of Kazakhstan. RK can strike at ALREADY SCOUTED targets, and AN can strike and SCOUT what and where. The main weapon of the Republic of Kazakhstan is anti-ship missiles, and the AN provides anti-aircraft missile defense and missile defense and air defense, and even with the help of aircraft it can also hit anti-ship missiles. Moreover, if my memory serves me correctly, it was planned to equip our aircraft carriers with their own anti-ship missiles, which would make their even more versatile weapons.


    ... Guys, learn the materiel .. the Lord didn’t bring it, you’ll have to use it .. TARK “Peter the Great” weapons:
    "Granit" 20 SM-233 launchers with improved P-700 "Granit" high-precision anti-ship cruise missiles. The launchers are mounted under the upper deck of the ship, with an elevation angle of 60 degrees. The maximum missile launch range is 625 km, the missile flight exclusively along a low-altitude trajectory is 200-250 km. The rocket's flight speed is Mach 1,6-2,5.
    The ship's air defense is provided by an analogue of the S-300 land complex called the S-300F "Fort". The ship has 12 launchers and 96 vertical launch missiles, with a destruction range of up to 200 km. In addition, the ship's air defense includes an autonomous shipborne anti-aircraft system "Dagger". Each of the 16 below-deck drum-type launchers is equipped with 8 solid-fuel single-stage remote-controlled missiles 9M 330-2, the total ammunition is 128 missiles. Unified with Tor-M1 ground forces missiles, destruction range is up to 70 km. Equipped with 6 anti-aircraft missile and artillery complex "Kortik", which protects the ship from a number of "precision" weapons, including anti-radar and anti-ship missiles, aerial bombs, helicopters and airplanes, small vessels. In total, the ship has 6 ZARK "Kortik", each of them has 2x30-mm six-barreled AK-630 M-2 artillery mounts with a total rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute, as well as 000 blocks of 2 two-stage 4M9 missiles with non-contact fuse and fragmentation rod warhead. These missiles are unified with the 311S2 Tunguska army air defense missile with a range of up to 6 km.
    TARKR is also armed with 2 anti-submarine (5 PU from each side) missile-torpedo 533-mm complexes RPK-6М “Waterfall”, which can attack enemy submarines at a distance of 60 km. To combat enemy torpedoes, the cruiser has the RKPTZ-1 “Udav-1М” anti-torpedo complex (10 pipe-guides, reaction time - 15 s, automatic conveyor reloading, maximum range - 3000 meters, minimum - 100 meters, missile weight - XNXX ).
    equipped with rocket launchers, which are located as follows: one ten-pipe RBU-12000 (projectile weight 80 kg, firing range 12 meters) is located in the bow of the vessel and installed on a turntable, another 000 six-pipe RBU-2 “Smerch- 1000" (projectile weight 3 kg, firing range - 55 meters) are installed in the aft part on the upper deck on each side.
    .. so RK, the Aircraft Carrier is not a comrade, but an older and strong brother .. :)

    Well, you guys are burning) one proves the impossibility of basing in the north (although ships are based there), the other X-35 remembered and cited some unimaginable characteristics for this SUBSONIC missile and its armor is 30 cm on a battleship (learn the concept of an armor belt and everything else). The third cites the case of the spontaneous launch of a Zuni missile, etc., forgetting to say that literally a few hours later the aircraft carrier Enterprise received and sent planes (there was also the case with Forrestal, read at your leisure). The fourth is about the impossibility of repairing a deck at sea after battle damage, such as a destroyer or submarine at sea can be repaired normally) The fifth is about a nuclear war and the uselessness of aircraft carriers in it... This is called a scribe, here we come)

      Here I disagree with you. Regarding the X-35, they corrected me (they meant the X-31a missile, I relied on memory), but regarding the fire - this was what happened on the aircraft carrier Forrestal (here I agree) in 67 in the Gulf of Tonkin, and not on the Enterprise ". The culprit of the fire was an unguided Mk 32 “Zuni” rocket, located in the LAU-10 underwing canister of the F-4 aircraft. The missile flew across the flight deck and struck the outboard fuel tank under the wing of an A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft preparing for takeoff. After this, Forrestal was under repair for a long time. I think you won’t argue with this. As for the “armor belt” of HMS Hood, that was what we were talking about, and not about “everything else”. Vika also talks about the “305 mm inclined (12°) armor belt, 2,9 m high, mounted on a teak wood pad for 171,4 m.” What's the question?

        16 July 2013 15: 24
        about the rocket - it happens)
        I agree about Forrestal, they fought the fire for 13 hours (according to other sources, 14) and went into repairs for eight months, it was generally not a happy aircraft carrier for the Amers), but what does this prove? The aircraft carrier was not lost as a result of a severe accident, but 29 aircraft were completely destroyed and 42 were damaged, and their ammunition was exploding (127mm rockets and many 300-400 kg bombs), and burning fuel flowed like a river. From this incident I can only draw one conclusion, and it is this: the Americans’ struggle for survivability is well organized, and the aircraft carrier’s survivability is quite high.

        I am by no means saying that the aircraft carrier is unsinkable, but I cannot simply take for granted that it will be sunk if even a few granites hit it, or even simply lose the ability to use the air group for quite a long time. The constant increase in the mass of the missile and warhead, as well as the increase in missiles in a salvo on Soviet “anti-aircraft carrier” submarines, is an indirect but ironclad confirmation of this. Apparently, after major incidents on aircraft carriers in 1967/69 (Forrestal and Enterprise), the correct conclusion was made about the survivability of the ships. For example, 3 tons of aerial bombs detonated on the Enterprise (repairs took 3 months, but the use of the air group was already ensured after a few hours)

        Regarding battleships, you misunderstood me a little. You probably give the correct numbers, but by the phrase “everything else” I understood that 305 mm is not everywhere on the ship and you can get above 2.9 m from sea level). Although there is no doubt that a battleship is a VERY tenacious ship, and even when working along the coast, it still has no equal ships (non-aircraft carriers)

    The most valuable thing is that the USSR fleet had a sufficient complement of ships to fend off AUGs and all possible missile carriers, such as the Tomahawk. The same "Roaring Cows" could take out all the aircraft carriers of US NAVI and others like them, even with a loss percentage close to 99. In the seventies, our shipbuilding yield was per year! only 6 SSBNs, not to mention the products of the Sormovo plant, etc. And now there are just paper boats and three cruisers on the way after many years of waiting, which everyone is testing and testing. And where are the new diesel engines, almost silent, and even armed with “Club-S”. Just chatter and verbiage. Moreover, we are arming the funny Indian fleet, such are the realities.

      the problem is that all this is just a theory. No AUG has ever actually tried to repel such an attack. And even if they suddenly wanted to arrange an exam, the amers don’t have anything similar to Granites, and accordingly, the reliability of the tests would be so-so.
      In addition, both on cruisers and on submarines, some of the Granites were always equipped with special ammunition of the Yadren-Baton system. One such gift, even detonated at some distance from the target, is enough to give the AUG missile defense systems a high-quality “concussion.” Well, then it’s a matter of technology.

Personally, I evaluate this as a passion for fashion among young girls, a passion for fashion in clothes, for example. I saw it, it’s fashionable, I want it too! It’s the same with many UAVs. I like a little, nostalgically, artillery battleships (battelships), chivalry and duels, but I’m not shouting that we need to cultivate these types of military skills and military naval weapons today and now! laughing
    Thanks again to Oleg Kaptsov for such a filigree, sarcastically sharpened and reasoned voiced position on UAV in general, and most importantly his honest words written by him in defense of the valor and potential power, the viability of the Soviet Navy!! good

      .... so far only purely theoretically.
      2.Consideration of the characteristics of the hangar and flight decks together allows us to draw a rather important conclusion. The total capacity of the decks and the launch configuration determine the purpose of the aircraft carrier. Of all modern aircraft carriers, only the Nimitz class ships have sufficient deck area and takeoff capabilities to create the necessary concentration of attack vehicles when operating along the shore. All other modern aircraft carriers optimized for fleet cover tasks, and their capabilities for solving strike tasks at full range and with full vehicle loads are limited.
      NOTE: “Kuznetsov” is technically not able to ensure synchronized takeoff two planes.
      3.50% of the Earth's population is concentrated precisely in the zone “up to 200 km from the ocean”.
      And the Tu-22, “flying to whatever line” of Australia, is unlikely to reach, and if it does, it will arrive without a combat load and will be late/I’m exaggerating, of course.

God forbid that rulers like Gobachev and Yeltsin appear in RUSSIA - traitors to the Russian land. And as for the FLEET, I have not seen a single rusty ship in Sevastopol and Odessa, except for foreign ones. And arguing about whose fleet is better can only be decided by WAR and not by the opinion of the yellow press. If you lived from 1945 to 2008 without a war, IT MEANS that the USSR Navy was a good FORTRESS.

    There is a completely different point of view on Popmechanics - it sets out the history of Admiral Kuznetsov’s struggle for aircraft carriers: http://www.popmech.ru/article/3386-avianostsyi-rossii/ The chief designer told Popmechanics about the tragic fate of the domestic aircraft carrier fleet preliminary design of the Project 1160 nuclear aircraft carrier, deputy chief designer of the Project 1153 aircraft carrier and heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers Arkady Morin.


    Here you go
    Nevertheless, there were people who understood that the fleet would be nowhere without aircraft carriers. In 1959–1960, TsKB-17 (now Nevskoye PKB), on behalf of the State Committee for Shipbuilding, carried out the design study of a “floating base for fighter aircraft” (PBIA), since using the term “aircraft carrier” could easily lose your job.

    Various speculations about the prohibitive cost of the USSR Navy are smashed like a rock against a single fact: The budget of the Soviet fleet was smallerthan the US Navy budget.

    I suggest uv. the author should take a calculator in one hand, and in the other a brain(U)/2 brains is better than 1n/che thread and compare:
    1.Soviet economy and industry(towards the end of existence) ranked second in the world in terms of gross indicators, second only to the USA (about 1,5 times)
    Having a PARITY fleet with the USA, with an economy 50% worse, technology the same (US shipyards) and at the same time SPENDING LESS, is not realistic

    Oh yes: there were injections into the CMEA, the republics of the USSR, $10 borrowing from Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, etc.
    1,5 watermelons per communist party (USA, EEC and others)

    Note:
    The economy of the Russian Federation in relation to the United States in 2012 is approximately 6 times smaller, BUT (!) and the people and territories are almost 2 times smaller.
    AND THE FLEET? The Russian Federation cannot even dream of a fleet equal to the USSR.


    2. Hydrocarbons under the USSR: oil 624 million tons in 1988, including gas condensate and natural gas 770 bcm.Cool?
    On the other hand:
    In 2012, Russia produced 526 million tons of oil and in 2011 (I don’t have 2012, Miller is squeezing) Gazprom produced 513 billion cubic meters of natural gas
    The population of Russia and the USSR, CMEA and other rubbish? IS IT NECESSARY TO GIVE PRICES FOR OIL AND OIL AND GAS CONDENSATE?

    What about the fleet? Where is the Russian fleet (about the army of ICBMs, space, I will not say anything)
    =========
    After reading paragraphs 1 and 2, and even without using the curvulator and the brain, we can draw conclusions:
    a) The USSR spent on the navy (and the army) MORE THAN US and more than anyone else in the world
    b) the USSR could spend more, only because it (USSR) had serfs (its own people), robbing its people, de facto the people were malnourished (conditionally, of course), there were no Deripaskas, Potanins, and the country (USSR) was plunging into the abyss of internal and external debt(s).
    c) the objective laws of the TAR came into force and? and the Russian Federation, with comparable incomes and a “liberated” population, CANNOT not only spend, but even dream of a similar fleet and army. EVEN IF EVERYTHING IS SPECIFIC (army, navy) is recalculated by the number of electorate, It’s not even close and probably won’t be, otherwise the buds of the orange (or pink) revolution will swell.
    And an ATTEMPT to find the USSR fleet, after its collapse, gives the conclusion(d)
    d) The fleet was unbalanced, “motley” and ineffective, because immediately after the “collapse” it (the fleet) was the same... Now we’ll ship the aircraft carrier to the Indians and finish it.

          That’s why there was a shortage and miserable life in the USSR, but at the same time the United States could well have spent significantly more money on the fleet. Now North Korea has the third or fourth largest army in the world, does it spend more than the United States? Or does China have an army The number is twice that of the United States, but at the same time, the US costs more than the Chinese.

          As for the fleet, the USSR caught up with the United States in terms of naval ICBMs in the mid-80s, but in terms of aircraft carriers it didn’t catch up at all.

              American SSBNs have ALWAYS had an operational stress ratio that is many times higher than that of Soviet SSBNs.

              Instead of an operational stress coefficient (OSC) of 0,57, we had difficulty pulling out 0,23, while for the Americans it was 0,68. This meant that we constantly had 8-9 missile carriers in combat service, while the Americans had 24.
              When the United States in the late 1970s began deploying its Pershing-2 missiles in Europe with a flight time to Moscow of 8 to 10 minutes, the USSR Navy, through the maximum use of all ship and coastal resources, could send submarine missile carriers into combat service with an interval of seven days. The operational stress ratio of strategic missile carriers in the Northern Fleet was raised to 0,35; 12-13, and sometimes even 14, submarines could be in combat service at the same time. It was a gigantic work and an outstanding feat of the personnel of the missile carriers, headquarters, ship repair shops, port workers and logistics agencies.

              http://www.warships.ru/TEXT/PL/index4.htm

              About SLBMs, see the picture. So we had to compensate with power (and, accordingly, dimensions) for the insufficient accuracy of Soviet missiles.

      Well, that means:

      1. Who said that the USSR had a PARITY fleet?
      There there was parity only in nuclear weapons carriers, otherwise it was a pipe. Here you don’t even need complex formulas and conversions for gold: just look at the payroll of the US Navy - it was 2 times larger than the Soviet Navy... there are more ships, and the ships themselves are cooler, more complex and more expensive...

      Dr. the thing is that in reality, this quantity was quite enough for Soyub to become a superpower (and there was even an excess - why the hell did they build titanium boats and TAVKRAS - idk, they went completely crazy)
      And the US fleet was simply redundant.

      2. Hydrocarbons under the USSR: oil 624 million tons in 1988, including gas condensate and natural gas 770 billion m³. Cool?

        =========================================
        I just remembered (regarding the Tu-22), Seryoga (vaf) briefly about “Red Storm”, answer
        Yes, and he confuses with the data. This is the data for the Tu-22R and P, but the rocket is still 6 tons, and this is an hour of flight at subsonic levels.
        But they usually overestimate......and in fact with a rocket, not a full radius of 2200, at supersonic, this is when you just run home and if such a flow rate is 6,5-7 tons per hour, then at supersonic on the Tu-22K- 15 tons per hour, and on the Tu-22M - 19, so you don't run into too much!!!
        so you can see for yourself that with such data he would have to refuel at least 2 times and already abeam Norway.... in general, the hat is full!

          There is another problem: the fleet has not been replenished for the last 10 years, but by wear many ships were decommissioned: 1134A and 1134B, SKR 1135, old junk - from destroyers of Project 56 to post-war diesel-electric submarines, boats 671RTM and 667BDR - hence the illusion of the “disappearance of the fleet”

    Good evening everyone!
    I really liked the article about the USSR Navy.
    The comments of the participants are very interesting, especially those that are written “on the essence of the article” and not on personal squabbles.
    In any case, what the Russian Navy has now (the Ukrainian Navy does not count, since “its leadership” is still trying to “sit on two chairs”...), these are all patches from the military-industrial complex of the USSR!
    Well, the current real capacities for R&D, weapons production and support for both the Navy and other units (Air Force, Strategic Nuclear Forces, Air Defense, Reconstruction and All Field Units) are very, very reduced, not to mention the fact that there are now few soldiers, sailors, pilots, officers and technical specialists and designers in Russia and Belarus.
    To make up for everything that was left in the socialist countries, fraternal republics, reduced, stolen and sold since 1885. in the Soviet army and the military-industrial complex - it will be necessary for another 15-20 years, and then only on the condition that Putin continues to be a “statesman of RUSSIA” and not a “lap poodle of the SovDep” (as Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Medvedev were) and prepares a SUCCESSOR for himself.
    Because if after him a further one gets into the Kremlin traitor to the Motherland, then the Russian Federation will simply be divided into Regions and the great Russian people will face further decades of humiliation.
    Personally, in the vastness of the ex-USSR, besides Lukashenko, I don’t see anyone who, not in words, but in deeds, was for the UNION, and in the same way, if after it it has a worthy CONTINUER, then little Belarus (which kept the Sickle both Hammer and Soviet GOST) will be “gobbled up” in a couple of years.
    Moreover, in my humble opinion, if Lukashenko had been the president of Russia and not Belarus for the last decades, the situation at this time would have been much better.

    Of course, you can “get to the bottom of it” in particulars, but in general it is true - the USSR Navy adequately resisted who and where it was necessary. In any case, it never occurred to anyone to look for their “Falkland Islands” here. laughing

    Quote: Wax
    Our country was drained of blood by the war. Everything necessary (impossibly) was done to create the shield of the Fatherland, and not to dominate the world. America strives to dominate, but it too will overstrain itself. I think many forum users will live to see this.

    the search engine gave the characteristics and years of construction of Amer’s ships. For the bourgeoisie, the picture is far from rosy. More than half of the active ships were built in the late 80s. with an average service life of approximately 30 - 35 years, they will soon be scrapped or scrapped. The Amers don’t need metal - the factories have been removed from the country. bad conclusions arise. Since the late 90s, the buildings have been almost completely empty. Maintenance, modernization and other crap also require enormous funds. so either it’s time to use it (before it’s completely outdated), or “a complete rip of the ass, like Detroit. As for Russia. Correctly noted: Since there was a peaceful sky above our heads, it means the men in the 80s thought correctly. Moreover, I don’t understand.. ....this is the proposed tactic: the Amers have 10 aircraft carriers and Russia must keep up. The Amers have nowhere to go, they are obliged to build them, otherwise, because of the sea, it is impossible to control the oil-bearing East, etc. And people who advocate “equality” in the number of ships where are you planning to send them???? They can’t live without bases around the world. The development of an aircraft carrier and everything connected with it implies attacks on island countries, or countries near the sea. (America, Australia, etc.). By the way, it is necessary take away (conquer) and restore naval bases, repair plants in the CIS countries, around the world and BEFORE......what else.. Finishing, because this topic can be developed endlessly.

    Thanks to the author for your concern for our fleet. But some issues are not covered in any way and therefore the article cannot be considered objective. Yes, there were a lot of ships, for example, in other years in Severomorsk Skt. etc. 1135 moored to one berth (No. 8) on one side in 4 (!) buildings, and on the other side a couple. Some of the ships generally stood in the roadstead and wasted their motor resources - there was no place to moor. For example, now on the Internet you can find a bunch of photos with our tank cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov", which is not in an external roadstead in Severomorsk and is wasting its engine life, although for some reason they built it for it in Ura-Guba (I don’t know if it was completed until end) pier. And at the berths themselves, the ships did not have much to profit from, primarily from coastal electricity. For all the ships sailing in remote areas there was only one specially built integrated supply ship, the Berezina. A lot of such examples could be given. The fleet did not have the infrastructure to accommodate the ship's complement. The rear was weak for such a fleet, there were few supply ships, and an insufficient ship repair base. Sometimes new ships, having undergone repairs, never returned to service, for example, the lead destroyer pr. 956 "Modern". The living conditions of families of officers and midshipmen in remote naval garrisons, especially in the Far North, were very difficult. The country first learned about this from reports in connection with the tragic sinking of the Kursk, when they showed the condition of the submarine sailors' housing in the village of Vidyaevo. As if the father-commanders knew nothing before this! All this immediately had an impact - with the collapse of the country, the fleet also collapsed. The article does not cover the issue of the development of our aircraft carrier fleet at all, as if it never existed. And some ships caused controversy as to what real purposes they were built for. For example, "the brainchild of the Commander-in-Chief" mrk pr. 1234? Absolutely without begging the merits of those sailors who served on them, in conditions of constant wild pitching, especially in the North, and the nauseating smell from diesel exhaust in the interior of the ship - not every sailor can withstand this. The cruising range is small, the air defense is frankly weak, I’m silent about seaworthiness. The diversity of weapons, especially winged strike ones, was simply off the charts, hence the difficulty in training personnel, maintenance, storage, etc. About the tactics of early strikes, compliance with the EMC of missiles in a salvo is a separate topic. As for smart commanders... If they were all so smart, then what I wrote with bitterness above would not have happened. There were all sorts... And the former Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral F.N. Gromov, decommissioned a huge number of ships that had not exhausted even half of their technical service life, and with his retirement he became the president of the Vtorinvest company, which is engaged in cutting up these very ships. Admiral Igor Khmelnov, who escaped with only a slight fright for a period of 4 years for his commercial tricks while being commander of the Pacific Fleet, is also a match for him. Despite this, our fleet solved all the problems that arose before it, thanks to the perseverance and spirit of our sailor. And also an inexhaustible sense of naval humor (a joke, but seriously). I run the risk of picking up a bunch of minuses for my pessimistic comments, but those who served outside the navy, I think, will understand me.

      I once worked in Almaz and we talked about Gadflies as a fairly successful project. Including from the words of the sailors. Weak air defense - and who had it stronger with the same displacement? And what kind of motley strike weapons? Like, except Malachites, there was nothing else
