Some features of the actions of carrier-based carrier aircraft of the Nimitz type (part 1)

In this article, we will try to understand the issues of the size of the air group of a modern nuclear aircraft carrier of the Chester U. Nimitz type, as well as the capabilities of an aircraft carrier to support the operations of deck aircraft on board.

For a long time, the site continues the discussion of supporters and opponents of aircraft carriers. This dispute began long ago, and he has no end in sight, and it is unlikely that we will be able to witness its end. And all because the question: “What is an aircraft carrier — a prima-ballerina or a coffin?” Was discussed for decades both on numerous Internet resources and in general long before the appearance of the Internet — but there is no definitive answer to this very day. The number of supporters of aircraft carriers is very large, but their opponents are a little inferior (if at all inferior) to them in numbers.

I myself am convinced supporters of these giant leviathans of the gray ocean, but today I will not in any way agitate you, dear readers, for aircraft carriers as part of the modern Navy. In the framework of this article, I will consider several quite specific issues related to the size, preparation for take-off, lifting and landing of deck aircraft.

It would seem that there may be unclear? The number of wings, attributed to the aircraft carrier, is well known. By the end of 80, there were 3 types of aviation wings, the typical composition of which is given in the table (the “number of squadrons” - “the number of vehicles in the squadron” is indicated):



There were other options - for example, on the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, which participated in the hostilities against Iraq in January 1991, the aircraft wing consisted of 78 aircraft (20 F-14 Tomcat, 19 F / A-18 Hornet, 18 A-6E “Intruder”, five EA-6V “Proler”, four E-2C “Hokai”, eight S-3B “Viking” and four KA-6D), as well as six SH-3H helicopters. But subsequently the number of air groups was reduced. To date, the structure of a typical airborne deck aviation includes:
1) 4 fighter-attack squadrons (VFA) - 48 vehicles,
2) squadron of electronic warfare aircraft (VAQ) - 4 aircraft,
3) AWACS squadron (VAW) – 4 vehicles,
4) squadron of anti-submarine helicopters (HS) - 8 vehicles,
5) squadron of carrier-based transport aircraft C-2A (VRC) - 2 vehicles

And all, respectively, 66 machines - 58 aircraft and 8 helicopters. At the same time, the number of EW and / or DRLO aircraft can be increased from 4 to 6, and if necessary, the assault wing can be assigned to a fighter-assault squadron or a squadron of naval infantry helicopters.

The overwhelming majority of authors writing about aircraft carriers are, a priori, convinced that the aircraft carrier is fully able to fully exploit the air wing based on it. And really - how could it be otherwise? What is the point of basing aircraft on the ship that he cannot use? For a long time, the question of the effectiveness of the use of carrier-based aviation was not even raised. Especially since in print the number-standard in 140 (or 147 or even 149) of the departures per day for the aircraft carriers of the “Nimitz” type repeatedly slipped. In other words, for an aircraft group in 80 aircraft, the combat voltage (the number of departures per day per aircraft) would be 140 / 80 = 1,75 (although according to some data the standard combat voltage for deck aircraft in the US Navy is equal to 2), which corresponds to the same land aviation indicator in a normal combat situation. Of course, there are cases when land-based combat aircraft are forced to make both 3 and 5 sorties per day. But this happens either when flights are carried out at a very short range, i.e. are very short-lived, either due to force majeure circumstances, and then they cannot last for any length of time, if only because of the fatigue of the pilots — or additional replacement crews will be needed. However, 140-149 sorties per day from a nuclear aircraft carrier were also considered to be a standard, which, in extraordinary cases, could be exceeded. It is possible that the technical limit for aircraft carriers of the Nimitz type was considered to be the number of times I found myself in 200 sorties per day. Well, on the newest American aircraft carrier Gerald R.Ford it is planned to achieve even larger quantities - the norm in 160 sorties per day and before 270 sorties in critical situations.

However, behind all these considerations, a very important question has somehow been lost - what is the rate of recovery of aircraft from an aircraft carrier? Why is it important? Supporters of aircraft carriers usually lead to the devastating results of the attacks of almost the full aviation group of an atomic aircraft carrier on the ultimate combat radius (48 of the shock hornets * 4 RCC "Harpoon" on each = 192 RCC suddenly and unexpectedly attacked the enemy's order in 1000 km from the American air forces in the XNUMX, leaving the American air force in the XNUMX, unexpectedly attacking the enemy XNUMX enemy airplanes. This, of course, is beautiful, but ...

The same “Hornet” without refueling is able to be in the air for about 3 hours (although this time can be both increased and decreased - the presence and capacity of the PTB, the weight of the combat load, the flight profile, etc.) are of great importance. But if, for example, it took 2 hours to lift the entire Nimitz air group - this would mean that by the time the last plane leaves the giant ship's deck, the first flight hour will be the first! What departure range can we talk about? The first to fly, the Hornets are unlikely to retire more than 15-20 minutes from the flight of an aircraft carrier ... And what if it takes not an 2 but an 3 hour to lift the air group? Then by the time the last planes take off, the first will have to land already, since they run out of fuel ...

During a very lively discussion in the comments on the article by Oleg Kaptsov “The convoy to Alaska. Chronicles of sea battle " http://topwar.ru/31232-konvoy-na-alyasku-hroniki-morskogo-boya.html author of the article, based on a series of articles by Kabernik.V.V. "Evaluation of the combat power of aircraft carriers" http://eurasian-defence.ru/node/3602 announced significant restrictions on the use of carrier-based aviation, namely:

1) The number of aircraft carriers of the Nimitz-type aircraft carriers indicated in the press - 75-85 aircraft is a theoretical indicator that can only be achieved in clear weather and near the native coast. In reality, the Nimitz air group does not exceed 45 aircraft.

2) The rate of ascent of an air group is very low - it takes 45 minutes to lift a dozen vehicles, and a full hour and a half to lift 20 vehicles. Therefore, the maximum combat group that can be lifted from the deck of an aircraft carrier cannot exceed 20 aircraft, but even in this case they will not be able to operate at the full radius, since the first aircraft to take off have used up a significant part of the fuel - or they will be forced to hang the PTB in damage to combat load.

I will not now enumerate the arguments of Kabernik V.V., I will only note that, in my memory, his work is the first attempt to deal with the peculiarities of the work and the organization of massive strikes by the forces of carrier-based aviation (meaning the first attempt in the open press, not I doubt that “where necessary” this issue has been studied for a long time and thoroughly). And as such, this attempt deserves respect. But are the conclusions of Kabernik VV correct?

What is the cycle of the aircraft lifting into the air? Obviously, the aircraft must be prepared for departure - it must undergo all the maintenance it needs, the aircraft must be raised to the flight deck (if it was in the hangar), it must be filled, the armament must be suspended and put on alert, a preflight check . The aircraft must be delivered to the catapult and hooked onto the hook of the accelerating piston, after which one more check of the aircraft and the catapult is required, and only then - the start!

Again, we’ll start from the end and see how long it takes to deliver an airplane fully ready for takeoff to the catapult, check before the ejection and takeoff.



What conclusions can we draw from this video? Firstly, in order to enter the catapult, the aircraft did not need a conveyor - he did it himself. Secondly - the plane opened the plane only on the catapult (this is important and later we will remember about it) And third - the final check before take-off takes quite a bit of time - the Hornet stopped after entering the catapult, approximately 1 min 15 seconds from the beginning of the video , and after 2 minutes and 41 seconds (in 3 minutes 56 seconds from the start of shooting), the plane pulled away from the deck of the ship. And this is not the limit! Watch the second video



It captured the work of two catapults simultaneously. For 6 min. 26 seconds from the start of shooting from the first catapult (closest to the operator performing the shooting) the 3 of the aircraft started. From a distant catapult - only two, while the second plane took off through 3 mines 35 seconds after the start of shooting, but did not apply for a catapult. In just 6 mines 26 seconds, 5 airplanes took off from two catapults. The time period between takeoffs is approximately 2 min 13 seconds - 2 min 20 seconds. This allows us to assume that if another plane had been sent to the distant catapult, we would have seen not 5 but 6 aircraft taking off during the shooting time.

What does this mean? Yes, only that one catapult is able to send one plane into the air in 2,2-2,5 minutes. Accordingly, two dozen aircraft could be lifted into the air with two catapults in 21-25 minutes. Three catapults would have done it in 15-17 minutes. But! Only if the planes are fully prepared for departure - all checks have been carried out (except for the terminal, on the catapult) weapons - suspended and activated, the pilot - in the cockpit, etc.

And what can prevent airplanes from being fully prepared for departure? Need maintenance? Let's see what it is. In the United States aviation, all the technical preparation of the aircraft is divided into pre-flight, post-flight after each flight, post-flight at the end of the flight day and after a certain number of flight hours.

Pre-flight preparation is carried out before the first flight on the day of flights and includes a pre-flight inspection, as well as some types of work, the main purpose of which is to prepare the aircraft for departure in accordance with the approved flight task. In this case, it is allowed not to carry out work on the preparation of those types of equipment that will not be used in upcoming flights.

After-flight training after each flight is carried out to prepare the aircraft for the next flight and includes refueling with fuel and lubricants, ammunition equipment, etc.

Post-flight training at the end of the flight day provides for refueling the aircraft and performing a special (small) list of preventive maintenance.

Post-flight training after a certain number of flight hours (several flying days) is carried out with the aim of maintaining the aircraft and its equipment in good condition by carrying out preventive and maintenance work with extensive use of special equipment.

This preparation, I must say, takes a lot of time. For example, to ensure one flying hour of the F-14, “Tomcat”, according to the standard, required 20 man-hours of maintenance, but in practice the value of this indicator sometimes reached 49. Hornet requires 25 man-hours of service per flight hour. This is quite a lot - it turns out that for the day in which the aircraft makes 2 departure for 3 hours each, “Tomcat” will need from 120 to 292 maintenance man hours, and “Hornet” - 150. But the air group specialists are quite capable of that - the fact is that for every plane on the aircraft carrier there are already 26 people serving staff (this is why the size of the aircraft group on the aircraft carrier is 2500 people) and the Hornet’s 150 service hours will not be too strong and straining in less than 6 hours of collaboration. But if Tomcat is going to foul up and require 49 man-hours per flight hour, it will be more difficult, because the group serving it will have to switch to a twelve-hour working day. Well, or ask for help from specialists who have freed themselves from the service of the Hornet.

This is a joke, of course, but there is a joke in every joke, and everything else is true, and it lies in the fact that the Nimitz crew is really able to provide maintenance for the aircraft group on 75-85 aircraft, provided they are used extensively. Especially after the decks of American aircraft carriers left the terribly voracious before maintenance, "Tomcats" and they were replaced by the relatively unpretentious "Hornet".

What else? Please note - refueling and loading ammunition are considered part of the maintenance of aircraft and taken into account earlier, but I will still say a few words about them. Unfortunately, I don’t know the time of refueling of combat aircraft, but the refueling of huge passenger Boeing 747 and Airbus (15,5-18,5 tons) takes 15-20 minutes, and the aircraft carrier is clearly far from one column. The existing ammunition supply systems are mechanized - from the cellars located below the waterline, special elevators serve bombs and rockets on the deck under the hangar. From there, two elevators deliver ammunition to the hangar deck, and three elevators deliver them to the flight deck. The system provides loading of 135 aircraft with ammunition per day. Is it a lot or a little? To ensure 140 sorties per day is more than enough, since part of the sorties are carried out by aircraft that do not need to load weapons (for example, airplanes ARLO "Hokai")

What conclusions can be drawn from all this?

Be sure to remember that carrier-based aviation does not engage in battle with spherical horses in a vacuum. Every combat mission is preceded by a certain planning and target designation. For example, an American aircraft carrier is moving forward to a certain area of ​​military operations, or a hot spot, which is about to become such an area. The leadership of the operation will certainly set the aircraft carrier some tasks, for example, the destruction of large forces previously discovered from a satellite fleet the enemy and, after they are neutralized, the destruction of certain stationary targets on the territory of the enemy.

Suppose an aircraft carrier enters the danger zone in the morning. Who prevents his crew from conducting preflight training at night, refuel and arm aircraft to accomplish their priority task and prepare them for departure? Yes, no one. But in the morning, when the aircraft carrier entered the conflict zone, its planes are ready for battle, and now it is only necessary to find the forces of the enemy’s fleet. Duty patrols are rising, EW aircraft detect suspicious activity in the Alpha 12 square. The patrol “Hokai”, who had previously observed radio silence, cut in his “plate” and saw an enemy shipboard strike group covered by several land-based fighters in 800 km from the aircraft carrier. Immediately begins the preparation for the attack. But what is it? The plan of attack is being finalized, the pilots specify the flight mission, and the planes complete the pre-flight preparation. What does it mean? Well, for example, aviation munitions have 2 degrees of protection, let's call them (sorry for not knowing the terminology) fuse and check. After removing the rocket from the fuse, it will be enough to pull the tape tied to the check and the rocket will be ready for use. Incidentally, this was precisely the reason for the tragedy on the “Forrestol” - not wanting to mess with the safety on the upper deck, the crew chose to cock it back in the ammunition store. And the check ... well - what is a check? The wind blew harder, ripped up the ribbon, jumped out the check, the rocket rose on a combat platoon. And then - static discharge and random start. If everything was carried out according to the instructions, the rocket would have been on safety and nothing would have happened, but ... the instructions were not executed.

But feel the difference - the planes do not need to be refilled - they are already filled. On the aircraft do not need to hang weapons - it is already on them. All you need to do is to reset the fuses and pull up the checks ... The preparation time for departure is minimized. I suppose it would not be a mistake to say that the “remnants” of the pre-flight preparation of 30-35 planes I have described will take an hour, at most - one and a half (if you have to change something, add some weapon).

The aircraft carrier comes with a full airflight - part of the aircraft and helicopters in the hangar, and some - on the upper deck. But in the evening a shock group was formed on the flight deck - some extra aircraft were put into the hangar (say, there were too many Tomcats on the deck but not enough Hornets), respectively, some of the Tomcats were removed, replacing them with the Hornets. From traveling



Air Group on the upper deck deployed for lifting



What does this deployment mean?

When an aircraft carrier does not produce intensive flights, the aircraft on its flight deck are located approximately like this.



For the take-off of the patrol more than two catapults of the corner deck are enough, and after the take-off of the patrol the landing (corner) deck is free. After landing the patrol, its planes are being taxied into the nose or to the superstructure in order to refuel, if necessary, re-equip, well, and get other post-flight maintenance. However, due to the large number of airplanes on the flight deck (the Nimitz hangar accommodates approximately 50% of its air group) with such an arrangement, the nose of the aircraft carrier will be fully loaded - there is no possibility of using nasal catapults, as in this photo

[/ Center]

The truth is that in this photo some planes are grouped aft, overlapping the corner deck of an aircraft carrier - probably this small group of aircraft will start from the angular deck catapults.

But this is a marching position. And if we are preparing to send a large air group into battle, then the aircraft on the aircraft carrier should be placed like this



In this case, the planes are grouped to feed them to the catapults, and 3 of four catapults are ready for takeoff. All three catapults already have planes ready for launch (on the 2 scheme, the Hokaya has already started from the corner deck catapults and is about to tear itself away from the deck), behind them the 2 aircraft are already in the pre-launch positions, so that as soon as the first ones start took their place with a minimum delay ... What will be the order of the start? The first planes are highlighted in black. Flight safety is paramount, and if suddenly an emergency landing is suddenly required for some aircraft, it is the black ones that will interfere with it - they block the landing area - the corner deck. After the launch of the “black” aircraft, the time “speckled” comes - especially those that are located in the bow and overlap the fourth catapult. After they are launched, the aircraft carrier is able to use all its 4 catapults. Now you can fly the rest of the aircraft strike group. How long will it take?

Not too much. Assuming that the fourth catapult “goes into action” after launching the 26 aircraft and remembering (remember the movie!) That one catapult can lift one aircraft into 2,1-2,5 minutes (take 2 minutes 30 seconds), then 3 catapults will lift 26 aircraft in about 22 minutes, and the rest of the 9 planes take off for another 7,5 minutes - (three catapults will launch two planes, one - three). Total, the rise of the air group in 35 aircraft from the position indicated in the diagram will take about half an hour!

So where did the Kabernik V.V. took the figure in 20 planes in an hour and a half? The fact is that this distinguished author, in my humble understanding, made one, but a fundamental error, distorting his calculations. He's writing:

The deck of the aircraft carrier is arranged in such a way that the elevators of the ammunition assembly are located near the standard pre-launch positions, and there is also all the necessary infrastructure for refueling and pre-launch checks. Delivery of ammunition to emergency positions takes considerable time, and the number of mobile means of mechanization is obviously limited. Thus, the preparation for the departure of the car at a non-standard position takes hardly twice as long - those same hours and a half instead of the standard 45 minutes. The maximum number of aircraft in one launch cycle implies the use of all available resources for training. At the same time, the capacity of the standard pre-launch positions is 12 machines - this is the squadron of the first echelon, which can be in the air in the first 45 minutes .... ... The maximum volume of the raised air group is no more than 20 machines ... ... But the rise of this compound into the air takes more than one and a half hours, which means the impossibility of using the full combat load. At least the first 6 vehicles in the launch cycle are forced to use outboard tanks in order to operate in conjunction with planes taking off later at the same range. From a tactical point of view, this means that the range of the strike connection can never reach its theoretical maximum, and the combat load will be at best half of the declared in the characteristics of the aircraft.

In other words, Kabernik V.V. this is the case - if 20 airplanes are on the deck, of which 12 are in 45-minute readiness, the remaining 8 machines have an hour and a half readiness because they are too far from the delivery and refueling infrastructure. This can be understood. But then comes the most surprising conclusion: since 12 machines are in 45-minute readiness, this means that all 12 machines can take off within 45 minutes. If the remaining 8 machines are in an hour and a half readiness, then all these 8 machines will be able to take to the air within an hour and a half. By the time the 20 machine rises into the air, the 1 machine is already flying an hour and a half over the deck of the aircraft carrier - accordingly, it is already meaningless to wait for the 21 car to rise, the first one will soon run out of fuel.

Error Cabernik V.V. lies in the fact that he incorrectly interprets the term “readiness for departure”. If 12 machines have an 45 minute readiness for departure, this means that in a dozen minutes 45 will be ready for departure. If the remaining 8 machines have an hour and a half readiness - these 8 machines (plus 12 machines with 45-minute readiness) will be ready for departure one and a half hours after the start of the pre-flight preparation. Thus, it is NOT necessary to lift 12 machines into the air and wait for the remaining 8 to undergo pre-flight preparation and take off in an hour and a half - IT IS NECESSARY TO WAIT THE HOUR HALF AND COMPLETE THE PLAIN PREPARATION ON ALL 20 MACHINES then all the 20 machines will be installed. the air group in the air in 15 minutes.

What is interesting is that in our calculation (the rise of the air group in the 35 aircraft in half an hour), the aircraft that first took off also lose a fair amount of fuel, waiting for the latest aircraft to take off. Is it critical? Totally uncritical. The thing is that planes of different types and with various combat loads will go on the attack on the enemy KUG. If the DRLO planes were lifted first (the Hokai are able to hang in the air for up to 7 hours without refueling against a fighter or attack aircraft’s 2,5-3 hours) and if they are next to lift the planes that will perform the air defense function -4 relatively light air-to-air UR, and 6 AMRAAM and a pair of Sidewiders all together weigh only 4 kg) then, of course, they can “grab” additional PTBs and at least equalize in distance with the later attack aircraft carrying much harder ly cargo.

However, there is another limitation - landing operations. Theoretically, the aircraft can land on the aircraft carrier every minute. In this video, we observe the classic landing of the “Hornet” and see how quickly the plane releases the runway.



But the minute is the ideal. When the weather worsens, the standard increases to one and a half minutes, and it should be remembered that the aircraft does not always manage to get on the first time, and often it has to go to another circle. It turns out that the group in the 20 planes may well sit down for half an hour or even more, and the group in the 35 planes can do 50-60 minutes. If dear Kabernik V.V. I also remembered this, he would probably have come to the conclusion that group flights of deck aviation are impossible in principle - an hour and a half - take-off, half an hour - landing ... The fuel will remain except to launch some target kilometers in 200 from an aircraft carrier.

But in our case (takeoff of the group in 35 airplanes - half an hour), the take-off and landing operations will take a lot of time. Yes, of course, you can always fly several “Hornets” into the air and refuel the aircraft returning from the mission (the SuperHornet can lift up to five tons of fuel in its own tank and 14 tons of fuel and work as a tanker, which caused the specialized tankers to be removed from the wing. ), but this is also a certain time ...

Apparently this is why I have never mentioned in any source mentioning the actions of the air group in more than 35 machines (even theoretically). Most likely, 35 machines are the limit that is capable of acting on a full combat radius and, probably, taking into account refueling landing operations. The size of the air group, perhaps, can be increased over 35 aircraft only if the target is close (say, 350-450 km) target.

And besides this - I believe that the number of airplanes on the Nimitz flight deck directly affects the number of aircraft being raised into the air. Prepared planes on the flight deck can start very quickly - but with the cars in the hangars, things are not so simple. Not only do they need to be raised to the flight deck - although the elevator rises / falls quite quickly (lifting takes 14-15 seconds), but the plane still needs to be dragged onto this lift, and this is not easy - naturally, the aircraft cannot move in the hangar and need a tractor. And the most important thing - as far as I know, a car standing on the hangar deck can not receive pre-flight training in full. In my (it is possible that I am mistaken) refueling can not be made in the hangar.

At the same time, it is obvious that it is impossible to place more 36-40 planes on pre-launch positions - we simply count the planes on the chart



Of course, some time after the beginning of their ascent, the elevators will be freed and it will be possible to raise new aircraft from the hangar, but ... the air group leaving the sky cannot wait until the raised aircraft refuel, receive preflight maintenance, etc. - fuel is expensive! Perhaps, if I am mistaken about refueling in the hangar (or if even a few filled cars are lowered into the hangar at the stage of pre-flight preparation), it is still possible to lift several more cars, in addition to those that were on the flight deck, but they can hardly be lot.

In the modern wing of the 58-60 aircraft. If 35 of them went to attack the enemy KUG, four of them are hanging in the air, four more are preparing to change this watch, and four-six fighters are at the catapults, preparing to rise in the air and strengthen the air patrol - that will we stay? Not so little 9-11 machines. And this is, in my opinion, the main reason for the reduction in the number of promising air groups.

During the Soviet era, in the event of a global war, American planes, carrying out their tasks, would have suffered very large losses, because a fight with the Air Force and Air Defense of the Soviet Union is, you know, not to bomb Libya. In order for at least some time to be able to provide its own air defense and strike at the fleet and infrastructure of the USSR, a considerable amount of aviation was required - that’s why six squadrons of fighter and attack aircraft (up to 60 aircraft, not including DRLO, EW and so on). Now why? To carry out police functions and wars with countries like Iraq - much less is enough. And if you suddenly need it - you can always add a Marine squadron to the 48 regular "Hornet", getting the same 60 strike aircraft on an aircraft carrier ...

In addition, it should be borne in mind that airplanes still occasionally require in-depth post-flight training after a certain number of hours of flying time - and some number of cars may be on tests in the hangar, when an urgent combat mission comes suddenly ...

Conclusion: In my humble opinion, the air group in the 75-90 aircraft is indeed too big for an aircraft carrier of the Nimitz type — it would be extremely difficult for him to use all his airplanes and helicopters at the same time. It is unlikely that a situation could arise in which an aircraft carrier would use 50-60 combat aircraft simultaneously (even taking into account those on duty on the deck). But the fact is that these aircraft carriers are designed for long-term intensive military operations, as a result of which the wing carries certain losses by downed and damaged aircraft - a certain reserve of pilots and airplanes provides compensation for losses and allows you to maintain a high combat capability of the aircraft carrier strike group longer than the limited the number of air group.

        Thanks Andrew! It was extremely interesting to enlighten.

            I myself was very interested in sorting out all this -

            Thank you for your work, for a layman a worthy article. As a specialist (I have been "supervising" the Navy and the US Air Force and NATO for more than 20 years) I will allow myself some comments
            The first one. The size of the strike group may well reach 40 units. For some reason, you forgot that crews that flew earlier than others do not always need even a PTB: planes will be sequentially refueled in a special area according to the appropriate schedule. And, thus, they will leave the zone of building BP (battle formations) with approximately the same fuel supply.
            Second. One of the main tasks of the US Navy AMG (aircraft carrier multipurpose groups) during the Soviet era was the build-up (reinforcement) of aviation groupings in the advanced theater of operations. For example, in the operational zone of our Northern Fleet, the combat destination area of ​​the two AMGs was the West Fjord, where they (AMG) deployed in advance from the Western Atlantic and dispersed their aviation to the airfields of Northern Norway (Bodø, Banak, Bardufoss, Alta, etc.). And, of course, they "brought" there the maximum possible number of aircraft (up to 90 units on each aircraft carrier). The AMG ships themselves and their entire air group were under the cover of the continental air defense and it was very difficult to "take" them! I mean, the quantitative composition of the air wing can be very different, it all depends on the specific upcoming "mess".
            Third. It is a pity that you did not have a chance to familiarize yourself with the information posted "where necessary". There are a lot of interesting things, you can believe me! But there is no special sedition, with the exception of nuances, in particular, Admiral Chester Nimitz was called Charles (this and something else I corrected) in the article. Commendable!

              I just forgot to mention that I am considering a case where carrier-based aircraft operate without outside help. Or am I wrong even in this case? Is it possible to send several tanker aircraft (the same Khornets with a bunch of PTB) from the aircraft carrier that launched the strike group to refuel the planes upon return, or is it a utopia?
              And I would be extremely grateful to you if you consider it possible to talk about whether it is possible to prepare planes for departure on the hangar deck. Of course, I dare not insist.

    Given how many satellites are in orbit, then any AUG is not an ant, it is constantly monitored, its movement is monitored. Therefore, it’s impossible to get close to an enemy with satellite tracking unnoticed. From this and all the consequences. I have argued many times that the AUG is intended only to intimidate and punish third world countries. In real combat operations with an equal enemy, efficiency will approach zero. But the content of such groups is expensive for the country.

      First, I ask you to pay attention to the fact that here we are not discussing the effectiveness of the AUG - only some of the features and limitations of the use of carrier-based aircraft. And secondly, of course, you will receive information from satellites, but the fact is that the same photography will be processed approximately in a day from the moment of shooting. Those. You will not know where AUG is now, you will know where it was yesterday. Those. You will know that the AOG is located somewhere inside a circle with a radius of 700 nautical miles, the center of which is its yesterday’s location
      Other types of reconnaissance (passive radar, for example) are easy enough to deceive, but we no longer have active radar satellites (like the Soviet "legend") - and it is quite easy to shoot them down.

          In order to at least detect AUGs, it is necessary to revive the system of marine reconnaissance and target designation, and it is built not only on satellites.

            There are much more dangerous and important targets in the Mediterranean. +50 AUG aircraft will not play a special role in an attack in this direction. They need to be taken into account, but if they do, then our "partners" certainly will not use the main core of the AUG offensive. There are a lot of bases for this.

            DV, a throw and all that’s next - what is this for? I mean, what to prepare for a landing? So? How many battalions per infantry in the AUG? What can they do? how deeply will they advance?

            Even Soviet satellites (5th generation) gave data in "digital" with a small delay. Americans use satellites as repeaters, so the latency is even lower.
            The main problem is data processing speed. If you write software that will fast "automatic" to select armored vehicles, mobile air defense, etc. against the background of the earth and with camouflage is problematic,
            the software that will be fast automatically determine AUG against the seamaybe a third year student.

        And here I am minus you.
        Rummage through the internet - it’s full of examples of intercepting satellite imagery (mostly current weather images from geostationary stations with the remoteness of receiving one scan before the current one is received)
        So it is on open channels with fax speed.
        Yes, this is shocking, especially with the speed of receiving information from satellites by our military.
        Despite the fact that the same Ministry of Emergencies has a thermal imaging of forest fires from Resources via Google (and why do they also receive it via yachu, but not via mail or Yandex) with a minimum of 30 minutes (they showed it on TV - it almost fell from the couch) .
        The fact that the satellite's thermal imager will not see "glowing" with its catapults (at least one) against the background of the Nimitz ocean is not even possible with 10 point cloud cover and through a typhoon.
        So this is through widely available sources with no permission.
        The whole question of the speed of obtaining the current situation is purely in the ability of generals to read it from pictures from the monitor screen, and not in the form of a diagram painted by pencils on a tablet by simplicity tablet-players.

    The thesis about "AUG never goes to war with a spherical horse in a vacuum" is very controversial.
    Coming from it, it turns out that intelligence has 100% reliable information. And this is far from always the case.

      You see, AUG can be set, in fact, 2 tasks requiring massive sorties of aviation.
      1) Destruction of the forces of the enemy fleet
      2) Destruction of stationary targets (such as airfields or infrastructure)
      The forces of the enemy fleet at the theater are known in advance - they are painted in all naval literature. Their location may not be known, yes. But in any case, the AUG will receive certain orientations - say, the enemy has a couple of air bases and some land attack aircraft on them, and also in the area there may be up to 6 destroyer / cruiser ships. A couple of AUG is advanced - one of the bottom is the task of destroying airbases (which it will deal with regardless of the presence of warships) and the second AUG will NOT deal with airbases - it will search for enemy ships and hit them even if instead of the expected 6 will be 4 or 8. All this allows you to prepare air groups in advance for departure.
      If the AUG was caught "with his pants down" - for some reason they were preparing to hit the ground - and then the enemy strike group with a pair of missile cruisers was taxiing out - no one will interfere with turning around and retreating, keeping a distance from the enemy KUG for several hours. AUG is a high-speed unit, it can calmly "keep a distance" for several hours - and during this time you can completely re-hang the weapon and only then strike. If it happened the other way around - they were preparing to fight the fleet, and the enemy fleet escaped somewhere, then no one bothers to calmly re-equip the aircraft to strike on the coast - stationary targets will not escape anywhere. No one will send the AUG to catch enemy ships under the attack of the land-based aviation available in the area (they will simply allocate a second AUG to suppress this aviation, and that's it)

Before giving an example with "- say, the enemy has a pair of air bases and some ground attack aircraft on them, and there may be up to 6 destroyer / cruiser-class ships in the area." which of the potential adversaries of the United States, has "a couple of air bases and a certain number ...." outside their state borders, with again, with all the ensuing consequences? China? Russia?

        If we talk about these two countries, then AUG, in relation to them, will have a narrow series of tasks, such as shutting down sea lanes, for more, the US command, it will be able to rely on AUG vryatli. Of course, in the initial stage of the conflict, when the coastal ground forces of Russia and China will still be intact.

          But I’m wondering what a couple of IA regiments can do, which can be deployed at air bases in Knevichi, Kamenny Ruchey and Nikolaevka against at least a couple of AUG maneuvering closer to Vladivostok. Or what can an air base for one regiment in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky do against the same AUG.

            In this case, I tried to make you understand that by pulling out of your head the hypothetical "pair of airbases" and "up to 6 (why not up to 10?) Ships ..." you come up with convenient goals for your reasoning. Speaking about DV, you went a little to specifics, but again, convenient. "Arising consequences" is the use of a COMPLEX of planned measures to repel aggression in a direction, which are developed using methods of continental defense.
            Simply put, the protection of the state is not exactly the protection of individual bases, especially since we do not have such bases.

              related to the topic of the article - the features of the use of atomic groups of atomic US aircraft carriers - it is decidedly impossible to understand.
              Of course, I cannot leave unanswered the question expressed in such a courteous form - to ignore it would be rudeness on my part. So - the goals of the AUG RF
              1) Demonstration of strength, "gunboat diplomacy" in the American image and likeness. AMG off the coast of Syria would look great.
              2) Covering the areas of SSBN deployment from enemy influence from the air, searching for enemy nuclear submarines in the Barents Sea. The situation when our SSBNs and SSGNs and nuclear submarines are "looked after" by enemy multipurpose nuclear submarines is decidedly unacceptable, we do not need any enemy PLO and nuclear submarines in Barentsukh.
              3) The destruction of the AUG sworn friend in order to fend off the threat of a "disarming strike" - the use of a large number of non-nuclear missile launchers to strike our strategic nuclear forces from the sea.
              4) Participation in the Air Defense and Airborne Defense of the Kuril Islands
              5) For the aircraft carriers of the SF of the USSR, it would be an interesting task - to ensure a breakthrough of the anti-submarine barrage and withdraw their squadrons of submarines to the Atlantic :) It is difficult to say whether the time will come for the Russian Federation when this task becomes relevant again?

              6) Striking own missiles from coastal flanks in the same China, for example - in this case, the AMG deployed in some South China Sea can break the existing on the guards of the Kyrgyz Republic and cover the submarines with long-range submarines on board :)
              This is offhand, you can still come up :)
              In general, I understand that I’ve already gotten over my nose, but the naval concept of the Russian Federation still requires the Navy to protect and represent the interests of the Russian Federation in the oceans. And without AB it is ... difficult.

                About "comfortable" conditions:
                Here is a map of the Far East.
                http://pics.livejournal.com/borzenko/pic/000090p2

                Take a closer look at her. Where are the borders of the Russian Federation and what are the distances from the distant outpost about. Sinushir, Kuril ridge, to the continental part of the Russian Federation on which are acceptable targets for AUG.
                Where do you think the AUG should be located or pass by unnoticed in order to make a "swift blow", as you put it almost literally?
                Where do you think this blow should be directed?
                Vladivostok? More likely no than yes. Hard nut for AUG.
                You called Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky, ok, let's say that the regiment of aviation (according to your data) could not cope with the defense of the entrusted territory, did not bring down a single AUG plane while it lay down together with ground air defense. What's next? Disembark an assault force that will jump over Kamchatka with a blitzkrieg, then plunge, xs what, but plunge and land through the Sea of ​​Okhotsk .... where? on Magadan, Sakhalin?
                This passage is only to ensure that there is an understanding that the USA AUG has no operational accessibility to goals that could be risked and destroyed by unleashing a global piper. They will not beheaded the Far East, so that there would be no opportunity to sink the entire AUG, you know?

                As for the tactics of action.
                I believe that it is an integral part of the strategy, the projection of which on the Russia-USA conflict is what I described above.
                Otherwise, I don’t understand what the message is of all that you wrote in the article. Well done, they fly out, well, maybe something can be there. Clear. AND? At which theater of operations against Russia can the ACS become the core of the operation?

                1. Demonstration of power is primarily a powerful economy, which is easier for Russia to build under a defensive doctrine, and only then all these rattles.
                2. Covering areas is fun of course. But something tells me that the SSBN will hide more reliably when she is alone, and not with a team.
                3. Strike for strategic nuclear forces from the sea? From Black? Baltic?
                4. About the Kuril Islands wrote above.
                5. The USSR and Russia have a defensive doctrine.
                6. And what prevents to do this with the submarine? I didn't understand this "with long-range submarines on board :)"


                I doubt that the amers put in the AUG the meaning that they are currently using.
                It seems that the AUG is the closure of landing ships, transports and other auxiliary vessels, of which the latter have enough.
                All the power of the AUG was intended to protect what would later be landed ashore. And apparently (the number of high-speed transports) this "everything" should have been in the number of troops commensurate with the USSR in a certain theater of operations.
                The preparation of such operations at the present time cannot be imperceptible. The order that is formed as a result will be visible "from the moon".

                What the ACG can now against Russia is not able to provide the necessary result.

AUG + cruise missile aircraft can inflict a very dangerous, disarming strike on our air bases, having arranged for them a personal pearl harbor.
                  Option 2 AUG goes to the islands of the Kuril ridge, demolishes outposts on the way and smashes the air base in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, after it enters the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.
                  AUG are maneuvering far, but at hour "H" they sharply reduce the distance, and demolish the base in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. I would not count on the fact that one air regiment can repel the combined attack of dozens of aircraft and CD. How will it look to us? According to yesterday's satellite reconnaissance data, AUG were maneuvering somewhere in the ocean, 1000 miles from our shores. Suddenly a message - someone's planes and missiles are attacking the Kamchatsky base. Whose are they - and so it is clear, but where the AUG is - is unclear, and it would be clear - how to beat them? In order to have hope for success in the USSR, it was considered necessary 2 regiments of Tu-22M3 and with electronic warfare, razveka and RTR and under the cover of EMNIP 2 regiments of IA. Where to get all this? Where is the network of aerodromes where all this can be deployed? Then the AUG goes to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and there it is safely lost - you can't scout it out there with aviation, you won't fight too much with submarines against dozens of PLO helicopters (and there will be that much on a pair of AUG). Aviation from our bases in Khabarovsk will not get them, but their tomahawks are quite.

It’s not for nothing that I cited the data - the number of air wing of Nimitz is 2500 people! And even with such a headcount, practitioners write to me that there are still problems with intensive military operations. And remember that having spent funds comparable to the construction of an aircraft carrier, you, perhaps, will cover it, but ... that's all. These aerodromes will not solve any other problems.

      I'm definitely not. Perhaps they will again reproach me with arrogance, but I do not expect anything from Oleg. Before writing this article, I asked Kaptsov several times - what will happen if I manage to point out the mistakes of Cabernik? What will happen if I can prove that aircraft carriers can carry out massive raids? In response, Oleg asked me what I will do if I DO NOT manage to defend my point of view. I replied that I was ready to publicly admit that I was wrong. Oleg declined to continue the dialogue.
      From which I conclude - even all the arguments of the world will not help me convince Kaptsov of his wrongness. And therefore, I see no reason to discuss. However, the issue of raising an air group is a really interesting question, and I still began to deal with the issue and wrote an article.

    Given how many satellites are in orbit, then any AUG is not an ant, it is constantly monitored, its movement is monitored. Therefore, it’s impossible to get close to an enemy with satellite tracking unnoticed. From this and all the consequences. I have argued many times that the AUG is intended only to intimidate and punish third world countries. In real combat operations with an equal enemy, efficiency will approach zero. But the content of such groups is expensive for the country.


    If you take into account how many of them are capable of detecting ships?) Even in Soviet times, aircraft carriers disappeared for weeks in the vast oceans (even from their own, when the task was set), but how many satellites are monitoring the aug from us now? Rhetorical question. And how much does it cost to maintain a satellite constellation with tracking centers? And an aircraft carrier is not needed to intimidate third world countries, it is needed as a strong ship making other ships even stronger) Why repeat idiotic cliches

    the fact is that these aircraft carriers are designed for long-term intensive military operations, as a result of which the air wing suffers certain losses from shot down and damaged aircraft - a certain supply of pilots and aircraft ensures the replenishment of losses and allows you to maintain high combat capability of the aircraft carrier strike group longer than would allow for limited air group strength.

    Well, here is the simplest explanation.
    Why the number of aircraft on the Germans began to be linked to their ability to fight at the same time was incomprehensible to the mind ... It was the same as asking why the Ak-47 30 had cartridges in the store, although it was impossible to release them simultaneously.

    75-85 aircraft is a theoretical indicator that can only be achieved in clear weather and near the native coast

    the question is not in clear weather and in the most physical opportunity to place on Nimitz 85 LA It is simply not possible - there is not enough space. (as soon as there are those who want to make sure of this - write, schemes, photos of decks and hangar are available)
    140 (or 147 or even 149) sorties per day for Nimitz-type aircraft carriers. In other words, for the air group in 80 aircraft, the combat voltage

    This is the second question. Will they manage to get the last, 80-th aircraft from the crammed hangar before the day is over
    It seems that these 140 sorties perform all the same 40-45 machines

    1 and 2 video - they rule on an almost empty flight deck, which is most freed from aircraft
    Secondly - the plane opened the plane only on the catapult (this is important

    Of course it is important, because they steer in ideal conditions, on an empty deck, without any suspensions. How about a fully refueled and armed plane?
    that if another plane were fed to the distant catapult, then during the shooting time we would see not 5 but 6 take-off planes.

    And that’s all. After all, they parked as close to the catapults as possible, on the elevator platforms - consider, they blocked the rise of aircraft to the deck.
    The aircraft carrier comes with a full wing - part of the planes and helicopters in the hangar, and part - on the upper deck

    The whole question is about the ratio of aircraft on the deck and in the hangar. Can you name a number?
    What is the probability that there are only 2-3 left in the hangar and not 20-30 aircraft?

    Here you can visually see what fit all 50 with pennies of aircraft, while the decks and elevators are jammed tight

      the question is not in clear weather, but in the very physical ability to place 85 LA on Nimitz. It is simply not possible

      Oleg, there are official data on the number of aircraft on the Nimitz in the same Desert Storm in Yugoslavia. There is a plentiful literature on this topic. From me - an article with calculations and diagrams and photos.
      If all this does not convince you, it is your business. But in my opinion, you were left unconvinced :)

      It is simply not possible - there is not enough space. (as soon as there are those who want to make sure of this - write, schemes, photos of decks and hangar are available)

      Come on, but if you have more than forty aircraft in the hangar in the first hangar circuit, and in the photo we see 40 aircraft in flight with three open catapults - is this not proof of the physical ability to carry 85 aircraft? And then what is the evidence?

      Well Oleg :)))) And the hefty hanging tank is not a kit? Then look at the Intruder (Powler?) On the 2 video - the pepelats starts in full body kit
      As for the empty deck - I made fun of it, in the 1 video where Hornet steers (by the way, in the body kit or not - not to disassemble, only a large hanging tank is visible), in fact, the frame shows 11 (ELEVEN) airplanes - and this is only aft, section to catapult. 9 planes are at attention, the tenth is on the adjacent catapult, the eleventh is being removed. And, yes, Oleg, indeed - despite the presence of 11 aircraft, the deck looks EMPTY, i.e. there you can still arrange a bunch of aviation :)))

    The truth is that in this photo some planes are grouped aft, overlapping the corner deck of an aircraft carrier - probably this small group of aircraft will start from the angular deck catapults.

    Of course are grouped. After all, this is a staged photo, all aircraft were pulled onto the deck
    remembering (remember the video!) that one catapult is capable of lifting one plane in 2,1-2,5 minutes ... take-off of a group in 35 aircraft - half an hour

    The first 5-6 nearest cars that park right behind the reflective shield
    and only in perfect weather.

    What about the North Atlantic? Fog, twilight, low clouds, snow charges
    If 35 of them went to attack the enemy KUG, four hang in the air as a patrol, and four more are preparing to change this patrol, and four or six fighters are at the catapults

    They will all interrupt at you like bromine tanks at the railway station in Chelyabinsk
    But this is a marching position. And if we are preparing to send a large air group into battle, then the aircraft on the aircraft carrier should be placed like this

    A combat air patrol and a Viking PLO aircraft will fall into the sea with empty tanks - after all, you tightly blocked the entire landing zone for several hours

    I wouldn’t answer in the place of Andrei, it seems that Oleg already just drives a fool or frankly trolls, and so on, to infinity, they proved one fact, prove another, prove that from the proof you have also proved by someone, etc. Typical trolling position. They tell him and carry 90 each, but they will not fit in, and there can only be one proof - to visit the aircraft carrier himself, but will he be able to visit? no, that means there is no proof, the logic is iron. Prove it) Half of the planes flew away? but the hangar is full! logic!) but how do you pull out the 80th plane? prove it? and here it was hatched it was considered? and you have a picture of what code? What about the type of aircraft? here and got !!) Read and prove again! Nah? Andrey, do you need this?)
    It creates a feeling in a person that 40-45 cars fly and how do you deny? Well, it’s a feeling, because the rest are tightly in the hangar) Give a photo of such an aircraft (like looking, although there are a lot of them with rockets on folded wings), well, not trolling?
    So he took the wrong picture, but why? Like not fools, then trolling, why else? There are 43 aircraft and a helicopter in the picture (in the correct picture !! it is shown) of which only 8 are !! on the ski lifts and it’s logical to assume that some will go to the start, while others will be lifted from the hangar as needed, but Oleg’s logic is iron, but where is the proof that the Negroes will come up with this and that the planes will not interfere with each other? Yeah !! no evidence? Well graze guys)
    Can you name the number ??? (not anyhow, you need to be clearly certified by the main black man)) What is the probability ?? And what is the probability that you brought the correct probability ??

        Deck aviation of the Russian Navy is quite ripe for the operation in the near future of aircraft catapult takeoff. The advent of fifth-generation aircraft, as well as promising deck-based unmanned strike unmanned aircraft, inevitably raise the question of “which way to go” and “will ejection technologies remain on the aircraft carriers of the future”.
        Despite the abundance on the print pages of polemical materials on the theme "Catapult or Trampoline? Pros and Cons ”, these discussions have not yet become the lot of specialists, but are discussed mainly in amateur circles. In one interpretation or another, such a version of the problem does not leave the pages of various publications and forums sponsored by specialists, experts and not only ... Undoubtedly, the authors of these publications often express subjective opinions, being captive of their own preferences. When the intensity of passions among domestic prophets reaches the level of “Springboard against Catapult”, I want to recall that such a formulation of the question inevitably requires an answer in two aspects: historical and technical. We do not set the task of tipping the scales of opinion in one direction or another - we briefly recall only the history of the issue. We’ll try not to impose one-sided, unconvincing conclusions on our readers — let’s let you depict them yourself, relying on documents and press materials.
        Recall the dramatic development of events around the development in our country of a deck fighter ejection launch. In early 1980, the chief designer of OKB. Yakovleva assured D. Ustinov, the Minister of Defense, that "the creation of a new air defense system, surpassing all existing and promising foreign fighters, is close to completion." This was followed by fateful decisions based on these assurances of A.S. Yakovlev. One of these decisions hit the concept of TAVKR project 1143.5. An ardent opponent of the creation of aircraft carrier ships, deputy. Admiral N. Amelko, Chief of the General Staff, blocked the initiatives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral S. Gorshkov, to increase the displacement of the future ship and bring the air group to 52 aircraft. Enough about the unseemly activity of Admiral N. Amelko in opposing Admiral S. Gorshkov has been written, for example, in the memoirs of the senior builder of the 705 order (NITKA), subsequently the senior builder of the 106 order (Tavkr "Varyag"), A. Svredin. Spending time on a more detailed generalization of N. Amelko’s activity is an ungrateful work, and there will be defenders of his legacy.

          In early 1980, the General Staff issued a directive, signed by D. Ustinov, on reorienting the air group of the designed "five" to
          SQUP and abandonment of the catapult launch. At this time, the staff of the take-off and landing systems (VPS) department of the Central Research Institute of Marine Engineering under the leadership of the Chief Designer A.A.Bulgakov successfully solved the problems of designing and testing individual units of the first domestic steam catapult and hydraulic hoist-finisher. The scientific team had to solve a whole range of scientific, technical and organizational tasks to develop the most energy-intensive catapults and aerofinisher in the world shipbuilding, which have high reliability indicators that provide the required safety of take-off and landing of aircraft. The author of these lines, a senior researcher at the UPU branch, could tell a lot about those dramatic moments in the development of such important systems, the atmosphere in A. Bulgakov’s team in this situation and the full set of “kind words” addressed to the evil genius of Russian aircraft carrier construction - the admiral N. Amelko.
          Next, we give the opinion of one of the "experts" without cuts:
          “The proletarian plant, which was entrusted with the creation of steam catapults, did not cope with the task, to put it mildly, to the end. I had to solve the problem associated with the boring of the cylinders, with their sealing and lubrication systems, heating the catapult in winter, etc. After a long ordeal, only one of its prototypes was assembled at the ground test and training aviation complex. Nevertheless, not a single aircraft from the “booster device”, as the catapult was called in the technical documentation, did not take off ... Instead, all attention was focused on ensuring the take-off of the aircraft from the springboard, which was considered more successful (and most importantly, incomparably simpler and a cheap) alternative to catapult.

            There is another point of view (again without cuts and comments):
            “By the way, there are a large number of conjectures around the domestic catapult that justify, to put it mildly, the stupid decisions of the leadership of the Soviet Navy. For example, that the country was simply not able to create a steam catapult. This is actually not true. Already at "Nitka" began the construction of two catapults (recall. Production of the "Proletarian plant"). The first was intended for testing aerofinishers, the second, aimed towards the sea, for training pilots of ship aircraft. So, according to Ustinov’s directive, they covered her. The first catapult was saved by a trick, calling it in documents “an accelerating device for testing aerofinishers”. By 1986, it had earned, and in terms of energy supply, it surpassed the American catapult Nimitsa by 10%. ” Editor w. “Popupyarnaya mehanika” Alexander Grek, citing an interview with the Chief Designer of NPKB Arkady Morin, No. 7,2008
            Due to the lack of arguments, one of the “experts” in the start-up launch fantasized something more “convincing”:

              “One of the unavoidable (?) Disadvantages of the catapult, which manifests itself in high latitudes (namely, it was planned to operate the new TAVKR in the Northern Fleet, is in favor of the springboard). Its essence is that due to the inevitable etching of steam from the barrel of an accelerating trackcatapult, ice can form (?), Leading to jamming of the piston and, consequently, to failure of the device itself ... (a decisive conclusion followed) As a result of a long analysis “for” and “against” the catapult and the springboard, the scales leaned toward the latter, and he became an integral part of the ship of project 1143.5. ” The "Arctic" version of the shortcomings of the steam catapult suddenly found support from our eastern neighbors. Recently, the "famous" Chinese naval commander, Rear Admiral Yin Cho gave an interview to the local media, where he made a "deep analysis" of statements about plans to create an atomic aircraft carrier in Russia :. Most importantly, Russia needs to solve some issues on the creation of a catapult, including working out its use in conditions of the appearance of "steam and ice" on the deck. The technology of aerofinners is well developed. Thus, the problems of creating a catapult capable of working in the northern seas should be "gradually resolved." With all due respect to the high naval rank “Rear Admiral”, I can’t read without irony this “deep analysis” regarding advice on a steam catapult.
              No emotions other than a smile are caused by the rumors in the opuses of a number of "memoirists" of ranting about the "problem of ice" on the catapult track in the Arctic. The same “thought” was somehow unsuccessfully picked up by the Chinese rear admiral: comrade Yin Cho, obviously quoted unlucky domestic experts.
              It should be reminded to the said experts that the bed (gutter) of the steam catapult with two trunks of power cylinders placed in it is heated up to 180-200 ° C before the start of flights using a standard heating system. The covers located above the gutter are equipped with reliable thermal insulation, which does not, however, completely save from heat leakage - the temperature on the outer surface of the caps reaches 50 ° C. When approaching the AUG into the combat zone, there is an emergency heating mode by supplying reduced pressure steam to the power cylinders for 8 hours aces.

                each of the trunks of the power cylinders is 110-115 mm with a track length of 90 m. The regular heating of the gutter is carried out for 24 hours using the steam warmers of the heating system, which, so inappropriately, was mentioned by the expert D. Erofeev, calling its development “ordeal” , simultaneously reproaching the staff of the "Proletarsky Zavod": "I had to solve the problem of ... heating the catapult in the winter." Obviously, a respected expert should know that the warm-up system is standard, it is not a whim of the TsNIISM team in an attempt to expand the functionality of the catapult in winter and, especially, in the Arctic. Regardless of the ambient temperature, such heating is a prerequisite for the normal operation of a steam engine. Without such a warm-up, it is difficult to imagine the thermal cycling of power cylinders during starts - from 20 to 240 ° C with an interval of 8 to 60 seconds.
                A few words about the dynamics of the interaction of the components of the steam engine during start-up. Understanding of these processes to a wide circle of readers could be helped by computer 3D modeling. Each of the trunks of the power cylinders forms in the upper part a continuous slit for the passage of the leash, transmitting force from the corresponding piston to the shuttle (pulling shoe). To seal the volume of the power cylinders behind the piston during steam supply, a sealing tape with a section of 20x40 mm made of special spring steel is used. A special shoe-stacker carries out the withdrawal of the tape from the gap between the protrusion above the cylinder and a special cover on it, and after passing the leash puts the tape into the slot. The walls of the power cylinders are made of variable thickness: thicker in the lower part and thinner in the region of the gap. When pressure is applied to the cylinders (60 kg / cm2), the inner diameter of the cylinder increases due to deformation of its geometry - this ensures self-sealing of the gap. It remains to add that these processes last 2,5-3,0 s at a speed of 70 m / s. After the aircraft leash leaves the shuttle, the shuttle-piston group returns to the launch site. At this point, the start valve is closed, and the exhaust steam through the non-return valve enters the regeneration system and is partially discharged overboard - up to 600 kg. The hover observed above the catapult track during launches is a visualization of the remnants of superheated steam from the depressurized cavity of the cylinders at a temperature of 200-240 ° C. The heating system supports the readiness for the next launch. The problem of "ice" is a clearly contrived homework of some experts.

                  Domestic carrier-based aircraft came to their springboard takeoff on a thorny path. Rejecting the speculations of some domestic “experts” about some kind of deadlock or failure that domestic designers and design bureaus allegedly suffered in creating a steam catapult, we recall that an attempt to use foreign experience in springboard take-off was originally aimed at implementing the air-craft mode of deck-based VTOL aircraft. At this stage, the ski jump was not even considered an alternative to the catapult - the very formulation of the problem in such a version would be incorrect: even the question “catapult or springboard” did not arise - these types of take-offs solved too different problems. The cessation of work on ejection launch planes - Su-27K and Su-25K and the abandonment of the catapult on a promising aircraft carrier could potentially replace the springboard, but this was only a result of cabinet intrigues in the capital, and not a testament to its undoubted advantages or disadvantages of an ejection launch. K1983 to the heads of OKB. Sukhoi and OKB them. It became clear to Mikoyan that the ejection launch planes would not be created by them as soon as possible, and the Su-1143.5K and MiG-27K planes could only get a ticket to deck 29 by starting from the springboard, for which they still had to prove this right to UTK NITKA. This was directly stated by M. Simonov, General Designer of Design Bureau named after Sukhoi - to the Navy Commander S. Gorshkov during his visit to Nitka in 1983 after a spectacular demonstration by V. Pugachev of the capabilities of the Su-27K: “My catapult is not needed.” The conjunctuality of this statement is quite obvious. Such is the brief history of the question "Catapult or springboard?"

                  Nevertheless, the staff of the UPU branch under the leadership of A. Bulgakov continued his historical mission to create the first domestic catapult and polyspastno-hydraulic aerofinisher. For the ejection launch, there was still the prospect of using the first nuclear aircraft carrier “Ulyanovsk” (Project 1143.7), which was yet to be laid at the end of 1988. Given other parameters of the steam for a nuclear power plant, A. Bulgakov's team began developing a catapult for the 1143.7-product S-1M. If the stage of designing these products, carried out by the best specialists of TsNIISM (TsNII “Compass”), was on schedule, then the production capabilities of NPO Proletarsky Zavod did not correspond to new technologies for implementing innovative developments. The Proletarsky Zavod was to produce prototypes of the products of the take-off and landing complex as part of a steam catapult, aerofinishers - standard and emergency braking. After obtaining the test results of large-scale physical models 1:10 in the production and experimental laboratory (PEL) in the territory of the plant named after Zhdanov and mathematical modeling in the newly created computer center, designers TsNIISM developed the drawings, and "Proletarsky Zavod" began to manufacture parts and assemblies of the complex of landing and landing systems. We had to solve unique technological problems that had no analogues in marine engineering. That which the "expert" D. Erofeev ridiculed so skeptically. were the usual stages of work on unique products. Despite the strictest prohibitions on the use of imported components and materials, for the manufacture of split steam catapult cylinders, for example, welding electrodes and fluxes were purchased through third countries in Sweden - such unique alloys of cylinders and welded beams required special welding strength. Steam cylinders operating in intermittent modes experience mechanical and thermal shock and must have a 100% guaranteed life. The accuracy of processing the inner walls of the cylinders was the highest - honing technology was required, for which imported machine tools and diamond hones were purchased.

                    The second stage of the tests, planned for the BS-1 and BS-2-1 blocks, required the manufacture of full-scale prototypes of the catapult and aerofinisher. In the above example, you can see how complex technological problems faced production. Despite the vigorous organizational and technical measures, the manufacture and delivery of parts and units of the catapult to Nitka lagged significantly behind work on aerofinisher. Optimism appeared at the beginning of 1984 - the arrival of the first split catapult cylinders for mounting on the BS-1 block. The installation of two 90 m long shafts made up of 48 split cylinders was a unique operation of simultaneously lowering the assembled “in the air” cylinders into the catapult gutter. In domestic practice, no one has performed such an installation. Checking and tuning all catapult systems took almost a year. And it was only in the summer of 1986 (August 28) that the first launch of the loading trolley at a reduced speed of 180 km / h took place, which was successful. Having left the track of the catapult, the trolley-loader was immediately in the arms of Svetlana-2, the tackle-hydraulic finisher. The dynamic tests of Svetlana-2 began in the entire range of masses and final speeds.
                    The level of tasks faced by the testers is indicated by numbers - registered processes were characterized by high dynamics and cyclicality: the braking modes by the aerofinisher and catapult acceleration last 2,5-3,0 s, requiring clear synchronization of the systems; the process of damping the moment of contact of the hook with the cable with the help of damping devices of the finisher ends in the first 0.35-0,40 s; the duration of the catapult hydraulic brake is 50-80 milliseconds at a pressure in the cavity of 1800-2000 atm .; the temperature of the working fluid in the steam cylinders reaches ZOO degrees C at a pressure of 60 atm, which imposed stringent requirements on the primary sources of information about the processes in the catapult. During tests at the Svetlana-Mayak research complex, more than 300 sensors on the products were captured by information acquisition, and the total length of the information lines of communication between the central laboratory and peripheral sensors was several km.
                    The condition of the test block and the preliminary results obtained made it possible to raise the question of conducting interdepartmental tests of finishers and catapults in 1987. After completing the interdepartmental testing program in August 1988, the test block was put into trial operation, and the required
                    improvements to the booster device (steam catapult) were carried out in 1989. The steam catapult for its intended purpose, located on the BS-1 unit and confirming full compliance with the requirements of the technical specifications, was given a "green" light. By the way, the laying of the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier took place a year earlier, and the catapult units for this ship could be delivered according to the construction schedule. At the request of LII, in order to create a reserve for the development of ejection launch aircraft, a research program for ejection launch of a full-scale model in the amount of 50 launches was planned.
                    Unfortunately, promising work was interrupted by the events of August 1991, but the problem of a catapult launch for future aircraft carriers in Russia remains relevant.

                        You can land a helicopter at 8 points on most normal NATO frigates. Canadians have come up with Mishkin’s trap for 50 years already ... But about planes - it’s not clear. But at 8 points, probably half will either go overboard (with the impossibility of saving the pilot) or break into figs on the deck. Or maybe more.

As for steam, this is your guess, for example, mine, that everything will be fine, with intensive lifting of the air group, the steam will not have time to freeze, and then the deck can be cleaned and heated with special equipment, do you think it is very difficult? I don’t think, considering the number of service personnel, the ability to create any equipment for this (the United States doesn’t like Ethiopia) and the abundance of experience in operating equipment from northern airfields (there are also a lot of any special equipment and icing of the strip and they fly, nothing)

    Good article, let me make a couple of remarks in terms of carrier-based aircraft technology.
    The calculations given in the article are close to reality, but only taking into account the "one-time attack". Those. an aircraft carrier can actually raise up to 40 attack vehicles at best for one, maximum two attacks. Then we run into the "rake" of a rather long maintenance of the AT, which, moreover, is slowed down by the lack of space and technical personnel on the ship. In principle, AUG is designed for this. Or regular and long-term "peacetime" flights (with a relatively small force). Or one or two powerful wartime strikes, the loss of an air group and a departure to the base (if given) to replenish it. By the way, which intrigues me very much, today (with the decommissioning of the Viking submarine planes), AUG are practically defenseless against a blow from under the water in the far zone. (The closest one up to 100 km can be blocked by helicopters - but there are very few of them on the AUG). I do not yet understand the logic of this decision (or they have a firm belief that our boats with their anti-ship missiles are definitely no longer threatened by them - since all the others do not have the ability to strike from the far zone at all)

        Oleg, even during the 2nd MV, the air strikes from the air marches were in waves! Those. the wave left for the attack of your "convoy to Alaska" from 35/40 aircraft, and it should already be prepared for it, the second wave, of about the same composition. Perhaps, most likely, the first will not complete the tasks completely, will not hit or not fully hit (drown) all the targets, so the 2 nd must clean up, refine. And it's not a fact that after that raid, 2% of the aircraft will return from the 1st wave, and maybe less. It seems like amers for the battle with the "Orlan" in the 50s counted on losing up to 90 air groups, they took him very seriously! hi

      I don't really want to "slap on the keyboard" for a long time describing the whole process ... But believe my practical experience as a "deck technician", the difference in servicing cars at an ordinary airfield and on the deck is very significant. If on land, an order of 12-15 people is involved in servicing one aircraft (we take the standard information security), not counting the regular technical crew assigned to the aircraft. On deck, this number is halved, not counting the fact that, due to the specifics of ship placement, many operations are inconvenient or difficult. A modern aircraft is a complex multi-level combat system and, in full accordance with the laws of technology, the probability of failure increases exponentially. (even without considering possible combat damage). + we add the inevitable fatigue of the staff. (even for servicing a regular flight shift, the working day of an aircraft technician is 14-16 hours)

    The problem is that all critics of the ACG viewed Russia as a likely adversary, against which the ACG is not very effective. However, one does not have to seriously consider the action of conventional troops in a large-scale conflict between the two superpowers - everyone is well aware that things will begin and end with nuclear weapons. But operations to pacify all sorts of banana republics and Arab dictatorships - this is it. The main strength of the United States is not that they have the opportunity to destroy Russia or China - there is suicidal parity. The main strength of the United States is that they can influence the course of events around the world by promptly intervening in the affairs of any country to defend their interests. Moreover, AUG plays the role of a kind of mobile base. Then, as we or China, in order to somehow influence the situation, say, in Syria, a huge amount of body movements is required, then the United States does not need to do anything. The ubiquitous carrier groups are absolutely nearby.

    And the US Secretary of Defense says that exchanging 1 aircraft carrier - 1 nuclear submarine is quite a real task for our Navy even now

    Dear Andrey! It speaks to you Kabernik VV My friends aimed me at your wonderful article, but it - in the end - doesn’t matter.

    You are absolutely correct in pointing out my "mistake", which is not related to neglect of the logistics of the landing. Unfortunately, the third article in the series - which just described the landing operations - could not be published. But you understood and explained everything correctly. For myself, I saw no contradictions, but I am ready to enter into polemics, if you wish.

    For my part, I would like to draw your attention to the comments of the "Taoist" to this article. I assure you, he was rather laconic in describing the problems of servicing individual aircraft, and did not even touch upon the issues of servicing a squadron-class combat unit (or several) in the conduct of long-term operations.

    Thank you very much for paying attention to my modest publication. However, it did not describe the problem in its entirety, and was urged to pay attention to some - poorly covered - issues of internal and external logistics of carrier-based aviation connections.
