Aircraft carriers - floating coffins?

Aircraft carriers - floating coffins?

When children play war, they spend more time not shooting, but arguing: "You are killed!" "No, not killed! You missed!" The older the children are, the worse. I remember one player in "Dungeons & Dragons" who cried when his hero was killed - he did not speak to us for years, all grieving for his dead elf.

Exactly the same dispute, reproduced by the world press, since August, the US armed forces have been leading. Believe it or not, these are still more whiners and sufferers than virtual role-playing gamers. Information plums and information plum charges, custom articles and a lot of good old malicious slander.

It all began with the military exercises "Millennium Challenge 2002", which we arranged this summer in the Persian Gulf. The big scandal happened because the commander of the forces of the conditional enemy, General Paul Van Ryper, refused to participate in the middle of the exercises, because everything was arranged in the exercises so that the troops of the United States defeated. According to the scenario, the States invaded a nameless country of the Persian Gulf (either Iraq or Iran). The States tested their new doctrine for the use of the combined high-tech forces, so van Ryper, naturally, went for any low-tech tricks that he could think of to spoil everything. When the Americans jammed his control and communications channels with interference, he sent messages with motorcyclists.

But it was all empty tricks. Americans had nothing against it. Also, I suppose, they would congratulate Van Riper, treat him with a drink for ingenuity at the banquet after the exercises.

The truth is that van Riper created something so significant that I still can not believe that the central press did not unleash it. Having nothing but a few "small boats and airplanes", van Ryper managed to sink almost the entire fleet of the United States in the Persian Gulf.

The conclusion from here is simple and straightforward, like a skull box: not one of the combat groups of the US Navy, not one of the hugely wonderful aircraft carriers so loved by us, will not even last a day in battle against a serious opponent.

Command fleet tried to make a good face with a bad game, but it turned out they were very awkward. They simply announced that the sunken ships had "returned buoyancy" so that exercises could continue as planned. It is because of such pearls that the military is considered stupid. What a pity that Bonaparte didn’t think of this after Trafalgar: "My fleet, it will now return buoyancy!" What a pity that Philip did not demand to return the buoyancy to his armada when it went to the bottom: "Ay-ah, guys, this English is to sink my todos boat, chinga sus madres, so escuche: the el fleet is ahora again to sail, EXPLAIT?"

Everyone in this stories their motives to do so and not otherwise - starting with a retired US Marine General named Paul Van Ryper, a hero in the eyes of most readers. Even the Armie Times weekly, publishing this story, admitted that van Ryper has a reputation as a “rare bastard”, who does not tolerate high-tech scenarios similar to those tested by the military this time. He also has a reputation as a man who does not feed him with bread, let him put his bosses in a puddle of military exercises.

But such a fact must be a good commander of a conditional opponent. Perhaps this van Riper and a bastard, but after all the good generals are for the most part such. The same Patton was by no means one of those with whom you would have dreamed of getting stuck in an elevator. Rommel was even worse; They say how one morning somewhere in the desert Rommel announced to his staff officers: "Today is Christmas. Now we will celebrate it. Hans, how is your wife? Herman, how is your wife?" Without waiting for the officers to answer, Rommel said: "That's all for Christmas. And now - get cards."

And what van Riper would not have been guided by in his actions, do you seriously believe that the authorities, who “restored the buoyancy” of the sunken ships, objectively than he? Their careers are entirely dependent on the success of this operation, and they have exactly the same reason for lying or falsifying the results.

Harzuya on the Internet, the story continued to grow mud. The gullible types, who take at face value everything that the Pentagon says to them, decided to believe the command - that Van Riper is simply troublemakers. Paranoids, who think that the CIA even controls the weather, took it for granted that the results of the exercises were predetermined from the very beginning.

Many discussions have come down to the question of what the Millennium Challenge exercises are held for. The gullible warriors voiced themselves on the net: "After all, the whole meaning of military exercises was to identify weak spots! Therefore, it is natural that when Van Riper sank the ships, they made notes and resumed the teachings!"

The thought is good, but somewhat naive. Most military exercises are by no means neutral. They think like a demonstration of a new weapons or doctrines. The Millennium Challenge was conceived as a demonstration of the doctrine of high-tech joint forces. Therefore, when Van Riper sank the fleet, one can argue that the comrades who commanded them did not simply say: "Well done, old man! We should take note of your tactics in order to prevent similar failures in the future!"

What does not reach the majority of inattentive readers is that some of Van Riper’s actions are full of rubbish and not worth a jigger - but others are so dreadful that the US Navy will take more than one year to recover from them.

The same trick with sending messages with motorcyclists is a good example of actions that are widely publicized and give the impression of intelligence and ingenuity, but there is little sense from them. Well, you sent a message with the motorcyclist. First, they move at a speed of 60 km / h, in contrast to the almost lightning-fast radio waves. The loss is huge. What if the motorcyclist is attacked? And there is no message - or the message is intercepted. I would love to fight against the army, which has nothing better than motorcyclists.

But what Van Riper did to the United States fleet ... that is another matter. He had nothing at his disposal except small aircraft and watercrafts — fishing vessels, patrol boats, and the like. He told them to cut circles across the Persian Gulf aimlessly, infuriating the fleet trying to follow them. When the admirals finally lost patience and ordered all the planes and ships to leave, van Ryper sent them to the attack all at once. And they sank two-thirds of the fleet of the United States.

It should have scared the hell out of anyone who cares how much the States are ready to fight in the next war. After all, this means that a handful of Cessn, fishing boats and private craft in stock, equipped with good fighters and armed with anti-ship missiles, are able to destroy the US aircraft carrier. This means that hundreds of billions (yes, billions) of dollars invested by us in shipbuilding are thrown to the wind, cost nothing.

A few years ago, the commander of a United States submarine said: "The US Navy has two types of ships: submarines and targets." The fact that large surface ships are dinosaurs has become increasingly clear with each decade since 1921.

That was the year Billy Mitchell was finally given the opportunity to prove what he had been saying for years: large surface ships without air support have no chance against aviation. They did not hate anyone in the armed forces like Mitchell did for these words, but he was not going to shut up. Finally, thanks to the huge overabundance of military vessels remaining after the First World War, he got his chance. The German battleship Ostfriesland and three unclaimed American battleships were anchored off the coast of Virginia to see what three of Mitchell’s pimped bombs could do with them. Here you need to remember how big and formidable these "dreadnoughts" seemed to people in those days. They had the thickest armor, the largest weapons and the reputation of the most deadly killing machines on earth, on the sea. The idea that a plane could sink them seemed ridiculous to most people. Of course, the fleet command was in the know and tried by all means to stop the tests. They all too well understood what would come of it - and there was nothing good for their careers.

The little biplanes flew ... and sank all the ships. First a destroyer, then a huge German battleship, then all three states of the battleship. The Navy attempted to ignore the results, but, at every step, Mitchell began to move from the battleships as the basis of battle groups to aircraft carriers.

The British did not pay any attention to Mitchell's demonstration performances. Their battleships were better made, better armed and equipped with better crews. What will these japanese monkeys do to them when Britain has an unapproachable strong point in Singapore and the coastal waters are patrolled by the royal naval forces?

Three days after Pearl Harbor, the British found out what they would do to them. A powerful battle group led by the battleship Prince of Wales and the battle cruiser Ripalz set off to counter the landing of the Japanese in Malaysia and came across numerous squadrons of Japanese aircraft. A few minutes later, both ships went to the bottom, and the “Prince of Wales” was sinking so quickly that almost the whole crew sank with it. With the disappearance of the ship fence, His Insecurity Singapore fell at such a rate that the British still cannot speak on this subject.

The battleship in 1941, the aircraft carrier is now: a big, proud, expensive ... easy target. In World War II, aircraft carriers showed themselves to be powerful, but then there were no microchips yet. Now, when an enemy tanker is capable of launching 60 self-guided cruise missiles from a distance of hundreds of miles, no aircraft carrier will survive the first real battle.

Carriers are not only the largest and most expensive ships ever built, they are also the most vulnerable. Because one serious hit of a cruise missile, and aircraft can no longer take off from an aircraft carrier, its best weapon. They will go to the bottom together with the crews without firing a single shot.

This was the real lesson of the Millennium Challenge II. And that is why the Navy is so angry with Van Riper: he tore off their disguise. He showed all the boobies in their homeland that a combat carrier group could be sunk by "small aircraft and ships." When the weapon becomes smaller and more deadly, large targets simply cannot survive.

Calls were enough. In the Falkland War, the Argentine air force, which, in fact, “team A” cannot be called, managed to tear the British fleet to shreds, flying up at low altitude and high speed to fire the rocket Eksoset. And they did this hundreds of kilometers from their shores without the help of ground-based systems.

If the Argentines were capable of this with 1980 technology of the year, think about what the Chinese, Iranians, or North Koreans could have created in 2003 with a floating target the size of a city, which is a state aircraft carrier.

If your library has a copy of the "Jane" weapons systems directory, look in the section of anti-ship weapons. Among the standard weapons, it is possible that the old “Harpoon” is still leading, but it’s not at all necessary to possess such elaborate products. Anti-ship missiles are easy to manufacture and use, because surface ships are always slow-moving, leave giant marks on the radar and cannot dodge.

For some time, we may be lucky, as long as we rush to muddle like Iraq. And Iran? The Iranians are not cowardly slaves like Iraqis. They are intelligent, they are purposeful, and they hate us more than poison. Imagine how many small planes and ships the Iranian coast has. Imagine if each of them is filled with explosives and turned into a kamikaze. And now add here all the anti-ship missiles that Iranians have the opportunity to purchase on the open market. If you want to get scared for real, add one more atom bomb.
Aircraft carriers - floating coffins?


For example, the Iranians will apply the Van Riper method: they will fire everything at once from each ship, aircraft or boat, what they have, direct fire on the aircraft carrier. We hope for the valor of the sailors and suppose that they will shoot down 90% of the missiles flying into them. As a result, we still have a wrecked aircraft carrier.

Now let's try to change the scenario for the US against China off the coast of Taiwan. The Chinese have everything: submarines, airplanes, anti-ship missiles - the devil, but they TRADE with this good with other countries! I will say without any obscenities: not a single American aircraft carrier in a full-scale naval battle in Chinese waters takes even five minutes.

Let us return to the objection, which is surely lingering among many of you: “The Navy must have thought about all this!” What are you talking about? And who did not let the British think in 1940? There was plenty of evidence that the battleships are nothing more than giant coffins. They decided not to think about it.

What is now engaged in the US Navy. Here, after all, careers, and big money, and traditions. There was always a surface fleet; hence, it will always exist. Approximately this is the depth of their argument.

The day will come, and the second Pearl Harbor will come to us. Perhaps not this year - fighting with a clown like Saddam, the US Navy will probably survive, sending its aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf. But if Iran enters the cause, the aircraft carriers will not last a day. Have they ever been on the Chinese coast in wartime, they will erase from the face of the earth. Come combat carrier group close to the shores of North Korea ... what remains will not be enough even divers really admire the remains.

What is more disgusting is that admirals, captains and contractors know all about it. Damn it. Perhaps we deserve what happens to us. Only now will not die the authorities. Unhappy gullible boys on those aircraft carriers will die, unhappy suckers who thought that they would be trained and given a free ride around the world, or they might even get a chance to "defend America." They will perish, and not believing in the reality of what is happening, when all this giant shell starts to crack and go under water.

    smile On October 17, 2000, in the Sea of ​​Japan, our SU-24 passed over the US aircraft carrier "KITTY HOCK" at an altitude of 50 meters! Which is equal to the destruction of the ship! the crew of the SU-24 Lieutenant Colonel A. Renev and Major M. Aristarkhov, of course, were awarded ... something like that! good

        An aircraft carrier, to put it mildly, is not an easy target. They never swim alone, but only as part of powerful AUGs, which are hard to break through the defense of. Oh, add deck aviation and the picture will become clear. Aircraft carriers are certainly expensive, but necessary to establish their interests somewhere. not to love Americans, but they were never fools. Any costs of a war are more than paid for by the exploitation of the resources of the defeated countries, the imposed arms supplies, and the promotion of their business. And on occasion, the costs of the war can be shifted to satellites, such as the Saudis and Qatar.

          The battleships Tirpitz and Bimark were not easy targets either. When they were designed by aviation and submarines did not reach the required technical level. When they became relatively perfect, they left them no chance. Apparently, aircraft carriers can expect the same.
          This technique has not yet been tested, at the modern level, on this side, and the combined development of cruise missiles, boats and airplanes may not leave them any opportunities for existence.
          Apparently, naval equipment expects the same as land equipment. However, it is significant and clearly visible, it will not live on the battlefield for long.
          Apparently the time of gigantism ends here.

          The mosquito fleet does not need to break through the AUG. Wooden boats, tiny battery motors .... rocket bodies and unpretentious launchers coated with paint, which airplanes absolutely smear. Several hundred wooden, plywood eventually shells will be drowned by both an aircraft carrier and any AUG that will slip. If such a boat is being driven by a person, dive overboard at the launch of a rocket. There is even a chance to survive if the boat has a foam board. But you can not even put a person behind the wheel! Exactly the same device that controls the UAV, only three times more primitive. No fleet, except the submarine, in principle, is able to cope with this. There are some more simple and merciless solutions ... in general, to be honest, the Navy is a complete waste of money. It is very gratifying that the United States is not able to do without it ...

    What a bomb! soldier I feel will be a hit for a long discussion wassat I feel like they are now clamoring, but the article is unambiguous - plus and bold!
    We now need a lot of modern low-noise and relatively cheap - submarines, many destroyers and missile cruisers with powerful air defense and a powerful interaction system.
    Personally, my opinion is that aircraft carriers are needed, but as "simplified" / cheap as Kuznetsov's type, but instead of attack missile weapons, to strengthen air defense on it and without catapults (so that there would be less to "break", albeit at the expense of the takeoff speed of the air wing). The main task, the air defense of the ship's order. In this form, they are acceptable, i.e. by analogy with American aircraft carriers in WWII. That is, up to 40 tons. The maintenance and service of such aircraft carriers is much more purposeful and relatively less sensitive to loss, in contrast to the one hundred thousandth nuclear engineer.

      ... We now need a lot of modern low-noise and relatively cheap - submarines, many destroyers and missile cruisers with powerful air defense and a powerful interaction system. ...

      Obviously, nothing can be invented to protect your own coast better than high-speed missile boats. Due to their low cost, they can be built in hundreds, and they can carry several powerful anti-ship missiles and air defense systems of the Shell type (for their own protection). If you provide an intermittent channel between them for data exchange and satellite / aeronautical target designation, any AUG in the battle with this hornet’s swarm will be doomed.

      But ...
      Such small boats are not suitable for long-distance ocean trips or for long-term patrols at a great distance. Application in the Arctic is also questionable. It seems to me personally that this strategy is suitable only for small areas of bays and inland seas. And if we consider that the range of cruise missiles is more than a thousand and the radius of combat use of modern carrier-based aircraft is measured in many hundreds of kilometers, then we can say that the "hornet swarm" will become useless. He simply will not have time to reach the firing line, and the enemy fleet will be able to launch hundreds of missile launchers according to the BSU strategy.

      Conclusion: what is suitable for Iran and the Persian Gulf may not work for Russia in the Arctic or on the Pacific coast. Unless in the Baltic and on the Black Sea ... but AUG is unlikely to be found there.

          This is doubtful. During a real attack, the pilot will seek to fly up faster and engage in battle, rather than remain a target on the aircraft carrier.

          But even a single Bastion missile, if it hits an aircraft lift, a catapult steam generator, or one of the weapons storage rooms, will turn an aircraft carrier into a barge with a pair of aircraft. And there are enough of such key goals.
          As for "whether it hits or not," it's a separate story. There are only a few aircraft carriers in the world, and in addition to their radar signatures, those "key" targets could well have been added to the homing head.
          So getting one modern anti-ship missiles for an aircraft carrier is very painful. And whether he drowns or not - the tenth matter, he cannot fulfill his task. In addition, cross out the carrier from the AUG and think about what they will do with the rest of the RCC ships without mini-aux and cover fighters.

        One anti-ship missile will be enough if it will carry an uninterrupted fire fighting system and will reach the ASU at D = less than 1,0 km. And even that is not a fact: if the projection is from the bow or stern, then the shock wave will tear and demolish antenna posts, planes on the deck, etc. RCC in conventional equipment, of course, will cause damage, but it will not put the AVU out of action and will not sink it.

Then two RBUs, one on the bow and one on the stern, this is for anti-submarine and anti-torpedo defense. Well, one ZRAK Dirk / Tunguska / Shell on the roof of the cabin, against cruise missiles and aircraft. The presence of a HOOK and a pair of three of the TA533 is a matter of course. The task in the composition of the connection of the same boats is to approach the firing range of the mosquito complex, with active opposition from AUG and nuclear submarines ... then, if you have mosquito, think for yourself, to help you use the ancient P-15 complex and the drowning of the Eilat cruiser in the last century.

For example, Cessna is not suitable: it carries only 380 kg of payload. Harpoon weighs 750-800, plus SU, radar, etc. Yachts are not to be armed either: launch containers, SU, etc. Next: to get there, you need to enter shooting data, or turn the shovel to pinpoint the target. It was then that what happened to the Syrian RCA during the war with the Jews. And all this will be done by war ships, which (do not cling to the side of the AVU, as in the photographs for the press) are extended tens of kilometers from the AVU.

In all seriousness, it is argued that missiles of the "Harpoon" or "Penguin" type (others on small fishing vessels, and even more so boats "simply will not fit), can deprive an aircraft carrier of buoyancy, which, among other things, has passive protection in the form of a powerful NKZ and PTZ. of course, like all other floating craft, you can drown (by no means from slave boats), but in more than 50% this will happen not because the attacking side is very smart, but in view of the fact that the aircraft carrier commander is either a slob. -24, yes, there were such cases and they always gave "Hero" for them, but this once again shows how difficult it is to break through to the aircraft carrier even in peacetime, when the racism syndrome increases many times over. In Soviet times, an attack of one AUG required up to 3,14 regiments of missile-carrying naval aviation, 2 SSGN + surface forces with the participation of a cruiser, while the planned losses were catastrophic. Has something really changed since then?

      The case with the Su-24 was mentioned, but such cases took place and they always gave a "Hero" for them, but this once again shows how difficult the task is to break through to the aircraft carrier even in peacetime, when the rash syndrome increases many times over.

      In peacetime, everything is possible, the Su-24 pilots knew very well that no one would shoot them down. They somehow forget that NATO planes regularly fly around our ships, and no one screams in horror that this is the fault.

One Su-24 deployed the landing gear and flaps and began to simulate the landing approach. So let's amers signal to him that the lane is not ready for landing, and that he needs to go around. During this flight, the deck of Kitty Hawk was photographed in detail, and the commander of the AUG, the admiral (I do not remember his last name), who was resting on a sun lounger at that time, got into the frame. Putin sent this photo to the American President (then, in my opinion, there was still Clinton). The admiral was naturally retired (kicked in the ass), and the pilots were awarded. The pilots, in turn, also sent a letter with a photo, but not to the president, but to the aircraft carrier's website, the Americans commented on this letter as "not subject to translation." laughing laughing laughing

        1. landing approach on an aircraft carrier is on the Tu-16R in 1970, because before fighters were under the belly (under the AFA), so as not to be photographed, in this case K.K. simulated an approach, with the release of mechanization and the chassis .. naturally Amer was dumped and here it is .. the aircraft carrier.

        2. In 2000, these were planned activities to search for the AUG, accompanied by a Su-27-x link. Amer approached 300 km to our territory.
        Passed over the aircraft carrier twice. and all overflights were as many as 3 and all three times successfully entered.

      In our plane, our pilots were sitting. And in Syrian, Syrian will sit.
      That’s the whole difference, the point is in the person driving the plane.
      But actually on the topic.
      The reconnaissance aircraft Il-38 was barraging at a considerable distance from the aircraft carrier, without attracting the attention of air defense systems. At the same time, his crew recorded the start of the refueling and transmitted the information to the operation headquarters. A pair of Su-24MR approached Kitty Hawk at maximum speed under the guise of two Su-27 fighters. When our planes appeared, panic arose on the deck of the aircraft carrier, which recorded the camera equipment. The American sailors hastily cut off the powerful hose sleeves along which the ship was refueling to enable their aircraft to fly into the air. But time was lost. According to our pilots, in real combat conditions this could lead to the death of an aircraft carrier. Pilots Alexander Renev, Mikhail Aristarkhov, Igor Radchenko, Vladimir Osipov were awarded orders for this operation.
      A similar attack was carried out on February 9, 2007. A pair of Tu-95MS in the Pacific Ocean south of Japan came close to the aircraft carrier strike group of the US Navy led by the Nimitz nuclear carrier. Moreover, one of the aircraft flew twice over the deck of an aircraft carrier at an altitude of about 610 meters.

Neither the radius of action of the order's radar station, nor the detection zone of ships around it, nor the weapons with which the order's ships and submarines are equipped are indicated. Of course, one aircraft carrier will not last long, but as part of a ship group it will never be sunk by a mosquito fleet. By the way, there was an article on this topic here a year ago, where they convinced us that Russia needed a mosquito fleet.

    Who is right? Life will show. Assad probably dreams of sinking the Nimitz, but the guts are thin, the Nimitz will not stick under the Yakhonti, and Assad's Air Force is of museum age, and in recent years, they have been spending their resources strenuously, and had no normal service - not before that. So, deck-mounted F-18s will be enough to deal with the MiG-21 and even the SU-24, if they risk attacking. "Moscow" with its "Granites" in principle can, but will not, because Assad, despite the fact that he is an ally and seemingly a friend, is not worth the world war.

    Carriers are not only the largest and most expensive ships ever built, they are also the most vulnerable. Because one serious hit of a cruise missile, and aircraft can no longer take off from an aircraft carrier, its best weapon. They will go to the bottom together with the crews without firing a single shot.


    Aircraft carrier stuffed with even the most modern electronics is poorly protected
    from the actions of submarines. He becomes a good target. Not so long ago, even diesel submarines could accompany this "structure" unnoticed for weeks while listening to radio communications with the pilots. I admit that the human factor of aircraft carrier acoustics is quite possible. But nuclear submarines have the means of destruction even more effective than cruise missiles and they are also crammed with modern electronics. But even of the "civilian container ship" type, it can have modern CDs. So the aircraft carrier is quite vulnerable, I join the author of the article.

This is a real experience in the combat use of this class of ships. There is no other experience, and all the articles, conjectures and fabrications about the futility of aircraft carriers are still just idle talk. How many targets were hit by planes taking off at the right time from the decks of aircraft carriers? And how many aircraft carriers were drowned?

In general, another, good-quality jingoistic patriotic article, where modern, high-tech weapons are reduced to the level of "a sledgehammer on the computer", and that's it, no mind is needed, cheap and cheerful. What, exactly, did the Paul van Riper example prove? Only that with competent counteraction, you can fight and inflict damage with any available weapon, but if the same Riper had the best weapon, he would impress even more. For me personally, this proves only one thing - Riper is a talented commander who, no doubt, would find a worthy use for any weapon. Hitting aircraft carriers, another provocative gruel and plot plot. On the forehead it is necessary to scrawl - AIRCRAFT CARRIER, AIRCRAFT CARRIER, and not a ship for the sake of producing an impression. Aviation will not be needed, aircraft carriers will not be needed, as well as land airfields; as long as aviation is needed, aircraft carriers will also be needed. These are scientific and technological progress, the evolution of technology and military affairs, the strategy of war at sea. Pearl Harbor for the Americans was created precisely by aircraft from aircraft carriers, like the Prince of Wales and Repals were killed by aviation, albeit the base one. You can't do without aviation and floating airfields, so, enough of this nonsense about cheap and angry, in the end, a penny bullet takes a priceless human life.

      The range of the RIM-156 is about 200 nautical miles, the ceiling is 33 kilometers.
      They also differ in guidance system and warheads.

      Passed tests and adopted the SM-6 ERAM (Extended Range Active Missile) with an extended range, which replaces the SM-2.
      Its main advantage is the guidance system, borrowed from the latest series of AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles.
      This system provides target destruction beyond the range of ship radars due to the possibility of targeting from remote radars in real time.

    The author is undoubtedly right. But he did not say that not a single fleet could repel such an attack. NO ONE. Of course there is a way out, to drown all the longboats, boats and schooners indiscriminately in a certain radius. But only aviation can handle this, and where is aviation based? The answer is unequivocal, an aircraft carrier.
    Van Riper is undoubtedly a bastard, he put himself in a favorable position, the Americans could not sink civilian ships and shoot down all civilian aircraft, this is a crime for which the tribunal shines. Therefore, he is a bastard. But there are a lot of "bastards" in the world, they will even be happy if the Americans smash any ship chandler or fisherman into chips by mistake, there will be more curses against the "skikhkov", how they kill peaceful traders and fishermen!
    However, the author is wrong that the Americans are doing nothing. They are developing unmanned boats to test civilian schooners, dozens of them can be launched from escort ships, preventing attempts to approach the cherished "floating coffin", up to destruction on the spot. So there is a problem and it is being solved ...

    A surprisingly curious coincidence - today an article appeared on SUN that fully confirms the author's fear: "Flight tests of the BrahMos aircraft version of the BrahMos missile on the Indian Su-30MKI fighter are scheduled to begin this year." And this bhai-bhai "Yakhont" is capable of speeds up to Mach 2,8, has a warhead of up to 300 kg and is released 300 km from the target, ie. outside the affected area of ​​hypertension.

    And if you combine underwater, surface and air launches - it will be a funeral song!


    the chances are small

    if only there will be many missiles, as well as the carriers themselves. Yakhont is certainly a great weapon, but 300 km is actually very small against the AUG. Because the carrier will be in the affected area of ​​the guard ships. And do not forget that 300 km for Yakhont is on a combined trajectory. Very vulnerable to air defense.

    The most effective method of applying Yakhont is a maximum shot of up to 120 km. Then the rocket will go along a low-altitude trajectory.

    Yes it was. And the second Su-24, having released its landing gear, imitated landing on an American aircraft carrier. The Americans did not come up with anything better than they released the Prowler electronic warfare aircraft to counter them. Our two Su-27 escort fighters "got rid of" him in all poses, in front of the frightened Americans. They even had to interrupt refueling by cutting off the hoses. They were able to launch their first fighter in 30-40 minutes, when ours finished their mischief and flew away. Later, photographs were sent to the commander of the American aircraft carrier as a gift from our pilots.

    In principle, it is obvious that with the development of missile weapons, huge ships are a thing of the past. They are good for showing the flag, for a small personal armageddon in a single African country. But in modern wars at sea, it will be a miracle if these leviathans manage to fire a volley It is necessary to develop a high-speed, well-armed mosquito fleet for operations in the coastal zone and again a high-speed fleet consisting of ships of rank 2 and 3, with powerful (enhanced) air defense for operations in the sea and ocean zones. Special attention should be paid to their missile weapons .The firing range, the ability to set interference and false targets are relevant as never before. Do not forget about the submarine fleet. It may be worth moving away from stereotypes and creating new types of submarines with an unprecedented combination of weapons.
    And the main thing is the aircraft carriers. Of course, these ships are the pride of the country that created them, a vivid confirmation of the power and ambitions of a naval power. But there are no precedents for the number of resources necessary to ensure the safety of the AOG even in peacetime. Such a number of ships, missiles, personnel for the sake of one aircraft carrier, it’s simply not logical. Again, if we are talking about a serious war, and not another democratization of another banana republic. This suggests the conclusion that aircraft carriers were created exclusively for neocolonial wars.

    Well, to begin with, the only more or less "naval" war after the Second World War was the Falklands War of 1982, in which the British carrier-based aircraft on the "Harrier" VTOL managed to show themselves quite worthily:
    The distribution of losses of Argentine aircraft for reasons:
    "Mirage" III (2) - 1 shot down by fighters, 1 shot down by "friendly fire"
    "Dagger" (11) - 9 shot down by fighters, 2 shot down by air defense
    A-4 Skyhawk (22) - 8 shot down by fighters, 9 shot down by air defense systems, 1 crashed while evading a missile, 1 shot down by "friendly fire", 3 lost for unclear reasons
    IA-58 "Pukara" (15 + 11) - 1 shot down by fighters, 2 shot down by air defense systems, 7 destroyed on the ground, 3 lost for non-combat reasons, 2 lost for unclear reasons, 11 captured after the war
    MB-339 (2 + 3) - 1 shot down by means of air defense, 1 crashed for non-combat reason, 3 captured after the war
    "Canberra" (2) - 1 shot down by fighters, 1 shot down by air defense systems
    SC.7 Skyvan (2) - 1 destroyed on the ground, 1 lost for non-combat reasons
    T-34 "Turbo Mentor" (4) - 4 destroyed on the ground
    C-130 "Hercules" (1) - 1 shot down by fighters
    Learget 35 (1) - 1 shot down by air defense systems
    SA316 "Aluette" III (1) - 1 destroyed on the ship
    SA330 "Puma" (6 + 1) - 3 shot down by air defense, 2 destroyed on the ground, 1 crashed while evading a fighter attack, 1 captured after the war
    Sea Lynx (2) - 2 lost for non-combat reasons
    CH-47 Chinook (1 + 1) - 1 destroyed on the ground, 1 captured after the war
    A109 "Hirundo" (1 + 2) - 1 destroyed on the ground, 2 captured after the war
    Bell 212 (2) - 2 captured after the war
    UH-1 Iroquois (9) - 9 captured after the war

    TOTAL:
    Aircraft (62 + 14) - 21 shot down in air combat, 16 shot down by ground air defense systems, 2 lost from "friendly fire", 1 crashed while evading a missile, 12 destroyed on the ground, 5 lost for non-combat reasons, 5 lost for unclear reasons .14 ​​captured after the war
    Helicopters (11 + 15) - 3 shot down by ground air defense systems, 4 destroyed on the ground, 1 destroyed on a ship, 1 crashed when evading a fighter attack, 2 lost for non-combat reasons, 15 captured after the war
    Of the 73 aircraft lost during the war, 61 (83%) were combat losses, 7 (10%) were non-combat. For 5 aircraft, the circumstances of the loss are not entirely clear. One Skyhawk was destroyed on May 30 when a British aircraft carrier was attacked either from a missile or collided with the wreckage of other aircraft, and is counted as a combat loss. Two "Pukars" on May 1 and two "Skyhawks" on May 9 cannot be unequivocally attributed to combat or non-combat losses.
    After the ceasefire, British aircraft captured 14 aircraft and 15 helicopters. Given this aircraft, the irretrievable losses of Argentine aviation in the war are 76 aircraft and 26 helicopters.

    In fact, this article has already slipped, only in a truncated form. Of course, I am not a super expert, but still inclined to develop a submarine fleet. For the long spread of sea pilots, I had the opinion that at a distance of 200-300 km it was possible to detect the Sq. approaching zero. In principle, submariners also confirm this, including by deeds. The range of destruction of the marine systems Onyx, Caliber, Mosquito 300-450km.
    It is NOT necessary to drown an aircraft carrier, it’s enough to damage it and the aircraft will not be able to fly, and then it becomes a target for conventional coastal aviation.
    Of course, complete drowning from a strike is also not canceled.

The prospects or futility of aircraft carriers will only be decided by real combat! And no other way! So far, the effectiveness of AUGs has not been identified in a war with a high-tech enemy, using electronic warfare systems and high-precision weapons. And the results of using high-tech weapons can be unpredictable!
    In the meantime, the authors of articles and comments are guided by the experience of using aircraft carriers in World War II, and in operations against the "Papuans"! Well, generals (admirals) are always preparing for the last war! So we'll see ...

    Someone else's thoughts. It is believed that to destroy an aircraft carrier it is necessary to have 15-20 hits, 7-10 hits will allow the aircraft carrier to be disabled for a long time, with 3-5 hits the aircraft carrier will continue fighting.
    RCC "Granite" with a successful hit could theoretically drown an aircraft carrier.
    The American doctrine provides for the use of an aircraft carrier as part of an aircraft carrier strike group (AUG), which includes, among other things, destroyers and URA cruisers. They have their own missile defense systems. In addition to cruisers and destroyers, the AOG includes 1-2 multipurpose submarines designed to combat enemy submarines.
    Thus, in the normal course of service by sailors of the Russian Navy and the US Navy, at the moment, our fleet does not have the opportunity to drown an aircraft carrier.

    But there can always be a freelance situation that will allow you to commit obviously impossible.

    Instructions:

    1. Divers shall be approached to the target in such a way as to go ahead in the direction of the aircraft carrier, if the squadron is moving. If it is anchored, the direction of approach to the target does not matter. The depth of immersion (in the daytime) should not exceed several meters, so as not to impair visibility. At night, mining is carried out in the water position.

    2. If the squadron is moving, then the carrier should be mined while waiting for the hull to pass over the divers. At the time of passage, using special remote devices (which should be included in the equipment), mining is carried out (hanging of magnetic mines on the ship's hull). Then the departure takes place.

    3. The sailing process itself should consist of standing still if the squadron is moving (skip forward) or sailing towards the base. If urgent detonation is necessary, then the departure is carried out in the direction opposite to the shore (since the retaliatory strike and the enemy’s landmark will be sent there).

    4. Undermining is carried out after the group moves away at a considerable distance from the target, but not exceeding half the radio signal coverage area (in case of possible interference).

    5. Leaving the affected area is carried out in those directions where the enemy’s retaliatory strike will not be oriented.

    In all the cases described, it will be practically impossible to detect a sabotage group, even if constant visual observation of the surface is carried out.

    The task of sinking the aircraft carrier will be able to carry out a group of 20 divers. If you need to liquidate escort ships, you will need a group of 100 people.

      <John C. Stennis> (CVN-74) - added to the fleet on December 9, 1995
      <Harry Truman> (CVN-75) - entered the fleet on 25 July 1998
      <Ronald Reagan> (CVN-76) - Introduced into the Navy on July 12, 2003.
      USS George HW Bush (CVN-77) - included in the fleet on January 10, 2009.

      The CVN77 will be a "transition" ship from the Nimitz class to the new CVX aircraft carriers. This ship is supposed to work out promising technologies intended for use in the CVX design. The aircraft carrier will have a redesigned hull and island, reduced radar signature, improved catapults and aircraft maintenance systems, and a reduced crew.

    Men, I'm not an expert, but I'll try to think logically. The longest-range anti-ship missile "Granit" has a range of 700 km and then a target designator is needed. the combat radius of the F-18 is, in my opinion, 750 km; the number of harpoons it carries is 3 or 4. The range of the harpoon, as far as I remember, is 120 km; in total, without entering the air defense zone of an enemy ship, a dozen F-18s are capable of firing at least 870 or even 30 harpoons at our Orlan, I think The eagle will not resist. I don’t know how correctly I’m reasoning, I’m interested in the opinion of specialists. I understand that my judgments are pretentious, please do not scold me, but explain if possible.

      In your case, it won't resist. And in order to resist, it will go to the cover radius of shore-based aviation. Norway will have to join our shores...Or build (re-equip) a new aircraft carrier (modernize KUZYU!).

    All this is breathtakingly cool, but it’s even cooler to realize that not once has the AUG, either alone or in a bunch of AUGs, in recent history, full of wars and conflicts, put either a period or a comma without exaggeration.

    Balistic anti-ship missiles are a simple and effective means of combating aircraft carriers in the very near future. What the USSR failed to do, the Chinese managed to do:

    “According to military analysts, in the very near future China may begin deploying ground-based DF-21 ballistic missiles in an anti-ship version, capable of hitting moving sea targets. It is assumed that the use of such ballistic missiles will make it possible to destroy aircraft carriers, despite the presence of a variety of air and missile defense systems on carrier strike groups."
    The note reported that the firing range of the DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, based on “revolutionary technologies,” is 2700 kilometers. According to analysts, thanks to the energy capabilities and dimensions of a two-stage fifteen-ton rocket, it will be able to carry a combat charge (in non-nuclear payload, about 500 kilograms). Some experts suggest that the ASBM is capable of sinking even the largest American aircraft carrier with the first hit.

    Men, I'm not an expert, but I'll try to think logically. The longest-range anti-ship missile "Granit" has a range of 700 km and then a target designator is needed. the combat radius of the F-18 is, in my opinion, 750 km; the number of harpoons it carries is 3 or 4. The range of the harpoon, as far as I remember, is 120 km; in total, without entering the air defense zone of an enemy ship, a dozen F-18s are capable of firing at least 870 or even 30 harpoons at our Orlan, I think The eagle will not resist.

    A 500 kilogram direct hit knocked out the Marat liqueur. That never stopped him from remaining an artillery battery in Kronstadt.
    Don't make my slippers laugh. AUGs are thoroughly and completely cleared with tactical nuclear weapons. Or do you think that there will be a shootout (a duel with seconds) and other theatrical quirks?
    PS If it's ok, then the water never compresses. A dozen kilotons (not the thickest weight) will turn all the escort into scrap, and the aircraft carrier itself, if it doesn’t sink, will become a motionless prison.

      And what will you do with the AUG tactical nuclear weapon? There, the explosion zone is about 2 kilometers, i.e. you can completely evaporate one or two vessels, but no more. Yes, the aircraft carrier still needs to be obtained, and in general somehow be able to detect it.

        I will butt into the conversation without asking. Well, there are no problems with detecting AUG. AWACS rule. But I don’t agree about tactical and operational-tactical nuclear weapons!
        Damaging factors of a nuclear explosion:
        Shock Wave
        light radiation
        penetrating radiation
        electromagnetic pulse
        radioactive contamination (+ induced radiation)
        Yes, if the affected area is, as you say, about two kilometers, and vaporizes a couple of vessels, all the electronics on the rest will fly out (absolutely!), and the crew will grab a dose of mother, don’t worry!
        The use of nuclear weapons in any form turns the AUG into a drifting cemetery!

    not a single American aircraft carrier in a full-scale naval battle in Chinese waters will last even five minutes.


    And what about an aircraft carrier strike group in which there are about two dozen support ships for this same aircraft carrier?

    Okay, you sent a message with the motorcyclist. Firstly, they travel at a speed of 60 km/h, in contrast to the almost lightning-fast radio waves. The loss is huge. What if a motorcyclist is attacked? And there is no message - or the message is intercepted.


    We open the regulations of any army and see the strictest regulation of radio communications in order to avoid interception. Cable and messengers still rule.

    Who kept the British from thinking in 1940? There was plenty of evidence that battleships were nothing more than giant coffins.


    But the battleships themselves, for the destruction of which it was necessary to expend a monstrous amount of ammunition, even in conditions of total superiority in forces, are not aware of this. And even now a battleship can only really be damaged by a Mosquito-type missile, which is a very serious toy, or by another battleship. Well, or a heavy bomb, which still needs to be dropped, breaking through the mass of ship’s air defense systems.

    The article was written a long time ago and does not correspond to reality. AUG is theoretically invulnerable. Imagine, the AUG consists of an aircraft carrier and a couple of nuclear cruisers. Autonomy is determined only by the supply of food, if there are no hostilities. Such an AUG can safely patrol the area where aircraft are launched at a speed of 30 knots. Submarines are completely useless at such speeds, especially diesel ones. Acoustic speakers don’t hear anything except their own noise, and using radar means ruining yourself. Using target designation from satellites is difficult. It takes time to surface and establish contact. Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier leaves in an irregular zigzag and is no longer in place. Surface ships cannot cope with such moves either. He will leave any KPUG. She will also not be able to travel at speeds of 30 knots for more than a few days. Autonomy will end. We need nuclear ships. Only massive use of aviation is realistic. Some of the planes engage in combat with cover, and some break through to the AUG. And here the losses will be big.
    But this is all theory! In practice everything is simpler. The crew cannot be kept on high alert for days. People get tired and begin to sleep at combat posts. And with two combat readiness, the fleet and boats and aviation are quite capable of a sudden appearance. Usually in such cases they sound the alarm and try to raise air power. And here the fall of even a small rocket onto the deck of aircraft loaded with kerosene and ammunition will disable the aircraft carrier. This is exactly how Japanese aircraft carriers got into trouble in World War II. This is a matter of chance! Some will be lucky and some will not. In war, everything is often determined by the case when the clear favorite suddenly loses the battle.

      Examples with non-fatal injuries were given above. Think about what will happen if a dozen or two kilotons crash under water about three kilometers away. And we can do it more accurately.

The aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3), 2 km from the epicenter, did not sink, only received damage, they tried to dispose of it in this way, it was junk... and many other ships also did not sink, those that were closer than 0,5 km from the epicenter of the nuclear explosion = went under water..

    In short, from everything I read, I understood only one thing. It turns out that drowning an AUG is a couple of trifles, 50 kilotons or a megaton and that’s it. It turns out to be simple. It is not clear why then Lyachin (blessed to his memory throughout the ages) was given a hero of Russia for such a trifle as the CONDITIONAL destruction of an AUG.

    I like the passages about how aircraft carriers are now expensive and awkward targets. Battleships of the XNUMXst century are just as huge, expensive and useless.
    But for some reason no one is trying to ask the question, who is stronger: aviation or ships!? But this is the main question. Unlike destroyers or cruisers, an aircraft carrier in itself is not a combat unit, but a means of transportation and operation of another necessary class - aviation. And I have never heard the thesis that “aviation is not needed in the army and navy” anywhere, because this is nonsense that would never occur to anyone. Aircraft carriers are powerful because they allow a group of ships to have air support with them, even while on the other side of the earth.
    Aviation from an aircraft carrier can:
    1) Search and destroy enemy submarines quickly and over a huge area (submarines have not yet learned to defend themselves from aviation, both helicopters and airplanes). This already reduces the chances of success of an enemy submarine, since it can be detected and destroyed even before the boat comes within range of launching long-range torpedoes (or even be destroyed at a distance of hundreds of kilometers from a group of ships when they are over the horizon).
    2) Intercept enemy aircraft and missiles at a great distance from the formation. Even if not all missiles/aircraft are destroyed during the interception, the formations on the ships will already know the speed and direction of the missiles and therefore will have time to prepare for defense. Not to mention the fact that by launching 10 missiles, aviation at the far and mid-range can destroy 5 missiles (arbitrary figures), which means that the formation itself will need to shoot down fewer missiles than were fired at them.
    3) Expand the detection range of enemy missiles/aviation by organizing a patrol a couple of hundred kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. Then detection and target designation from the air will make it possible to begin interception by long-range (over-the-horizon) air defense missiles. Which again will reduce the number of targets that will need to be destroyed by the ship’s medium and short-range air defense systems.
    4) Conducting a search and tracking of enemy ships/boats without revealing the location of the aircraft carrier itself and its formation.
    5) destruction of enemy ships and boats without revealing the position of the squadron ships and saving heavy anti-ship missiles. For example, an AUG can disperse and go into radio silence. Aviation seeks out enemy ships and, without revealing the exact position of the aircraft carrier, destroys small enemy escort ships. then, by the time the AUG advances on a group of enemy ships. He already has fewer ships to protect. And the AUG escort ships have a full supply of anti-ship missiles, since during the “plucking” lighter aircraft-based anti-ship missiles were wasted.
    So aircraft carriers will become useless when airplanes become useless.
