From Vikramadity to a promising Russian aircraft carrier

139
The implementation of one of the most ambitious projects of the Russian shipbuilding is coming to an end. A few weeks left before the transfer of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya to the naval forces of India. The Russian industry is completing the latest system checks and tests. In accordance with the plans, in October the aircraft carrier will return to the Sevmash plant in Severodvinsk, where it will be prepared for the transition to a new duty station. Delivery of the ship to the customer is scheduled for November 15.



Thus, almost ten years have passed since the signing of the first agreements until the transfer of the ship to India. At the start of 2004, Moscow and New Delhi agreed on the transfer of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov to the Indian Navy. The contract stipulated that the transfer of the ship would be preceded by a profound modernization with the installation of new equipment selected by the customer. In addition, the agreement established the equipment of the updated aircraft carrier aircraft of Russian origin. The cost of upgrading the ship in 2004 was estimated at 970 million US dollars. Another 530 million India had to pay for the 16 deck fighters MiG-29K. It was supposed to pass the ship to the customer in 2008 year.

At the end of 2007, it became known that preliminary estimates of the amount of work needed were wrong. Because of this, the Russian shipbuilders could not meet the deadlines and estimates. The corresponding negotiations began, as a result of which the delivery of the modernized aircraft carrier was transferred to 2012 year, and the project cost increased to 2,3 billion dollars.

However, even these deadlines were thwarted by the fault of the suppliers of certain materials and equipment. 17 September 2012 of the year when overclocked to the maximum possible speed, several power-plant boilers failed. As it soon turned out, the accident was caused by poor-quality chamotte bricks made in China, used as heat insulation of boilers. Asbestos was used for this in the original design, but the Indian side insisted on using bricks. Poor quality imported material led to the impossibility of continuing tests. To repair the power plant of the aircraft carrier took several months.

Fortunately, after the repair is completed, the tests go on schedule and without serious problems. For example, a few days ago, the United Aircraft Corporation reported that in the course of preparing the aircraft carrier for transfer to the customer, a series of flights of the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB fighters were carried out at night. According to the UAC press release, as part of the verification of the aircraft’s technical equipment, the aircraft took off and landed one at a time and in pairs at minimum intervals, in addition, takeoffs were carried out with full combat load. This series of night flights completes one of the preparation stages. aviation groups for the aircraft carrier "Vikramaditya". Further, Russian specialists will train Indian pilots, who in the near future will have to serve on an aircraft carrier and fly on MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB planes.

As you can see, the implementation of the Indian order was difficult, expensive and time consuming. One of the main reasons for this can be considered as an unacceptable state of the shipbuilding industry at the time of the start of the project. Prior to the work of a half decade of meager funding affected the capabilities of all the necessary enterprises. Production facilities were not modernized at the right time, and qualified specialists were forced to look for another job. Fortunately, the command of the Indian Navy chose the Russian aircraft carrier and signed the corresponding contract.

An important feature of the project of conversion of the aircraft-carrying cruiser “Admiral Gorshkov” into the aircraft carrier “Vikramaditya” is the measures taken by the Russian shipbuilding industry to fulfill the Indian order. Just a few years ago, the management of Sevmash and the United Shipbuilding Corporation complained about the lack of skilled workers. Years of downtime had a bad effect on the state of production capacity and the number of employees capable of performing the tasks. Solid amounts of funding from the Indian side helped to rectify the situation and restore industrial opportunities with regard to the construction or repair of aircraft carriers.

The second equally important aspect of the Vikramaditya project concerns deck fighters. The Indian order spurred work to modernize the existing MiG-29K project. As a result, the deck fighter is not only designed, but also built in a limited series. In the near future it is planned to begin assembling such aircraft for both the Indian Navy and the Russian Navy. In the near future, the MiG-29K and MiG-29KUB will replace the Su-33 fighter jets currently in use, which are running out of resources.

Thus, the sale of the aircraft carrier of India and its deep modernization helped to restore the production potential of the Sevmash shipbuilding plant and several related enterprises, as well as bring the promising carrier-based fighter in two versions to mass production. From this may follow a simple conclusion that sums up the whole program. Russian shipbuilding can now again build aircraft carriers. Over the coming years, domestic enterprises will most likely not be able to build several such ships at the same time, but the experience, technology and capabilities necessary for the consistent implementation of the relevant plans are already available.

The ship "Vikramaditya" has actually become a "training ground" for testing technologies and restoring production potential. Unfortunately, it will not replenish the Russian Navy, but instead of a new ship, our shipbuilding has received the necessary funding and extensive experience. It is likely that the restored production and the experience gained will be used in the development and construction of promising Russian aircraft carriers. Such projects are only planned and are at the stage of discussion of the very need for an aircraft carrier. fleet.

However, in the future, when the design bureaus begin to create a project for new ships with an aviation group, they will begin to apply the techniques created and applied during the modernization of the aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy. As for the shipbuilding industry, it will also be able to use the technologies and know-how mastered during the work on Vikramaditya. As a result, the new aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy will become a kind godfather of promising Russian ships.

      We have not yet been able to build a single full-fledged aircraft carrier and this is a fact. We have neither personnel nor equipment for the construction of aircraft carriers, and this is fact No. 2.
      Very doubtful "priority" equipping the Russian Navy with aircraft carriers and a very, very many other facts, such as the budget, etc., etc.

        For the design and subsequent construction of an aircraft carrier, we first need a national idea. It doesn’t. We need a balanced domestic policy. It doesn’t. For the construction of the aircraft carrier, we had to start training workers, craftsmen, engineers and shipbuilders five years ago. We had to start building a modern shipyard five years ago. equipped with modern equipment. Five years ago it was necessary to start designing a modern AWACS aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, EW aircraft. The Navy GK admiral N.G. Kuznetsov said the tasks and the navy. The military-political leadership is not able to clearly and loudly explain the need even - Mistral-. About the aircraft carrier - silence. For effective use, 4 aircraft carriers are needed. Two on the KSF and two on the KTOF. But there is hardly any infrastructure to base the aircraft carriers, there is no one to equip the crews of aircraft carriers and security ships.

                In the distant 1993, Chernomyrdin and Kuchma came to decide the fate of the Varyag aircraft carrier (ship readiness 67%). To the question "What is needed to complete the construction of the ship?", ChSZ director Yuri Makarov replies with a phrase that can be considered famous - "The Soviet Union, the Central Committee, the State Planning Committee, the military-industrial complex and nine ministries." It seems that they heard what they wanted to hear, the fate of the Varyag seemed to have been decided, like the fate of most Soviet aircraft-carrying ships ... Meanwhile, from the very Far East, Communist China was watching very closely what was happening in 20 million "green" bought a ship from Ukraine, allegedly for an entertainment center, taking a package of documentation, together with factory specialists, and without the Soviet Union completed the aircraft carrier. Morality, the willing seeks opportunities, not the desire for reasons. We picked up capitalism from the trash heap, and China has a more progressive social system. The question is, when will a "multimedia" supercarrier be built in Russia, "having no analogues" in the world, and what can and should be really done to revive the great country and the fleet?

                    Reputation is priceless. Acquired over decades and lost in an instant. That is exactly what happened with Gorshkov. Even I laid out a couple of articles about this, and what Indians wrote you better not to know. The urapatriots will die on the spot.

                    IMHO, it would be better if Russia did not contact this modernization. Lost more than gained.

                      I'm not too interested in what the Indians wrote. The Indians have their own journalists, we have our own, but neither one nor the other, sorry, they do not understand what they write. I am much more interested not in what the Indians write (I have a three-letter word written on my barn, and there is firewood, you know), but what the Indians DO. And the Indians order all new and new weapons from the Russian Federation. In 2007, when the Russian Federation raised the issue of revising prices for Vikramaditya, the Indians ordered from us the second three Talvar, about the supply of Su-30. In 2008, a year after the Gorshkov friction, a one and a half billion program for the licensed assembly of 40 Su-30s, etc. is being implemented.
                      We really have recently missed some serious Indian tenders, but our complacency and sloppiness are to blame for this. In time, you would allocate resources to Mig-35 and avionics to it - you look, there wouldn’t be any Rafales.

                      What the Hindus write in India is their sovereign business. And what their military is saying here is a completely different story. The Indian military appreciate the work of our guys at the highest level. And they already live in our house, almost on a permanent basis)))) After the delivery of Gorshkov, they talk about some new orders. Wait and see. It is not without reason that our "general" went to India as a member of the commission for military-technical cooperation, at the beginning of the year, together with Mostovich (Marine Integrated Systems). Several Indian submarines have already been repaired on Zvezdochka and they are going to continue this.

              We have not lost our reputation. But the Indians have lost the desire to climb with their "wise" advice in the work plan. In conversations with Hindu military men living in Severodvinsk and taking part in the work on Vikramaditya, many "flattering" comments about their engineers and high bosses were heard. Which, as a customer, were forced, in the literal sense, to put the Chinese guano on the boilers. I, personally, blame my previous management for this, I had to stick to the plan of work and use of materials. And so this Chinese rubbish was not even brought to us for testing, they just took it and put it on the direct order of the main one. For this, in the days of the USSR, Kolyma and a party card on the table. And now the only thing that has been done is removed from office. But the "Hare Krishnas" have a lesson to give advice with their thoughts in India.

          Here are the tasks:
          Currently, the Navy has the following tasks:

          deterrence from the use of military force or the threat of its use against the Russian Federation;

          protection by military methods of the sovereignty of the Russian Federation, extending beyond its land territory to inland waters and the territorial sea, sovereign rights in the exclusive economic zone and on the continental shelf, as well as freedom of the high sea;

          creation and maintenance of conditions for ensuring the safety of the RF maritime activities in the oceans;

          ensuring the naval presence of the Russian Federation in the oceans, the demonstration of the flag and military force, visits of ships and vessels of the Navy;

          ensuring participation in military, peacekeeping and humanitarian actions carried out by the world community that meet the interests of the Russian Federation.

          These are common tasks. Further goes in detail the tasks of peace and war.

        I don’t argue with facts, I’ll just note that they are doubtful. But I agree with the sequence, and most importantly with expediency. In our opinion, such ships are simply unnecessary. Our country does not have colonial plans, and those plans which do not imply aggression against other countries. Purely my mission is to build multipurpose ships and submarines, and the more the better.

          The military-political leadership of the Russian Federation, members of the Council of Federations, and members of the State Duma should publicly proclaim the need to build aircraft carriers. Due to various kinds of circumstances, they even avoid discussing such topics.

            No topic, no discussion. And most importantly, there is no money for expensive, but useless things. Apparently, people do not even think of building offensive weapons when nothing has been decided on the defensive.

    ".. Nevertheless, in the future, when the design bureaus begin to create a project for new ships with an aviation group, they will apply the developments created and applied during the modernization of the aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy."
    Somewhere information flashed several times that the pre-docking of an aircraft carrier is already underway. And already left the stage of conceptual work. I suppose that they are engaged in the coordination of the terms of reference (and at the same time the statement that we need aircraft carriers).

              Were these boilers given to you? They have an efficiency of the last century. They were also designed in Leningrad. My current colleague used them to develop heat-resistant bricks. The task of the boilers is to burn fuel oil and heat water. By the way, the necessary turbines are made only in Nikolaev at "YuTZ". What about asbestos? Do not know?

                        Ruslan, don't worry so much about your former homeland. We are capable of building ships with a displacement of up to 20 thousand. But there is a question of priority: Borei is now more important for the national security of the Russian Federation, and secondly, expediency: how regrettable it is for a sailor to realize, but apparently the age of "mostadonts" (a class of nuclear cruisers), just like the LK in its time, is suitable by the end. Fighting units of class EM with a displacement of 10-12 thousand tons come to the fore. Therefore, we are modernizing what was in reserve (sludge), but we will not build more giants. The Ocean Zone warship project is in the stage of elaboration of details. As well as the new AVU with nuclear power plant and E / M catapulia.

                        I talked about the class of cruisers with a displacement of 15-20 thousand tons (heavy 25-30 thousand tons). They are most likely to be replaced by a universal combat ship (gaining supremacy at sea) with a displacement of 10-12, a maximum of 15 thousand tons. Air defense will be decided beyond the horizon - aviation, long-range missiles. From the horizon - lasers and EM guns with kinetic shells of previously unseen energies. They will solve the problem of missile defense. That's something like that in a first approximation.

The boilers are rather big, so you can't rivet on your knee :) Secondly, a springboard - it seems to be nothing complicated, but I heard that this is a very tricky thing, both in design and manufacture. Aerofinishers and landing system. The lifts were changed in different ways, the old ones could hardly lift the MiG-29. A big trick is the deck covering on AB, it seems that we even either bought or stole this secret back in Soviet times. On the Vikramaditya, it was necessary to produce this coating in every way - the nose of the TAVKR was not adapted for aircraft take-off, there were also missiles. Restraints at the start of the aircraft. How many things do we still not know?

    ... The ship "Vikramaditya" has actually become a "training ground" for developing technologies and restoring production potential. Unfortunately, it will not replenish the Russian Navy, but instead of a new ship, our shipbuilding has received the necessary funding and extensive experience. It is likely that the restored production and the experience gained will be used in the development and construction of promising Russian aircraft carriers. Such projects are only planned and are at the stage of discussion of the very need for an aircraft carrier fleet ...

    The second, no less important aspect of the Vikramaditya project concerns carrier-based fighters. The Indian order spurred the modernization of the existing MiG-29K project. As a result, the carrier-based fighter is not only designed, but also built in a limited series. In the near future, it is planned to begin assembling such aircraft for both the Indian Navy and the Russian Navy.
    The author correctly forgot that the first batch of Mig-29K (12 units) and Mig-29KUB (4 units) aircraft for India have already been built and transferred. Now the construction and transfer of the next batch of 29 Mig-29K (KUB) aircraft is underway. In 2013, the Russian Navy will receive 2 Mig-29K aircraft and 2 Mig-29KUB aircraft. And until 2015 they will transfer the entire batch of 24 aircraft (20-Mig-29K and 4-Mig-29KUB)

Now they are suing. It got to the point of absurdity that part of the zero slipway was sold to some kind of entrepreneur for storage and now they cannot drive it out.

    Fundamentally, the article at the article is absolutely right - it was Indian orders that allowed our shipbuilder to survive, and it was Vikramaditya that saved and restored many critical technologies, as well as the backbone of workers and shipbuilding engineers.
    At the same time, it should be understood that the most important technologies of the promising aircraft carrier did not find their application on Vikramaditya. If we want a full-fledged AV and not an ersatz like Vikramaditya, then we need early warning aircraft. This requires catapults. To provide such a ship with energy, an atomic power plant is needed. In addition, it is necessary to finally provide an effective BIUS for AV, which, as I understand it, is not what Vikramaditya is. Until we master all of the above, we will not create a full-fledged AV - there will be another "lame duck" without AWACS or with catapults, but it does not matter that the usual power plant works, etc. So Vikramaditya - what is there to say, this is a Stage, but to say "We have made AB for the Hindus, we can now do AB for ourselves" - is still a sin against the truth.

    By the way, what makes Russia different from the rest of the world is that the rest talk about what is, and we talk about what will be. In addition to beauty, for a warship, cost, functionality, combat stability, modernization potential and maintainability are also important. If all the qualities are present, this is the right ship. The huge developed superstructure at Kuznetsovo is rather a disadvantage. Firstly, this is windage, and secondly, a large radar reflection (that is, visibility) and an increased vulnerability of the GKP during a missile attack.
    Moreover, there are the following problems:
    1. There are still no AWACS aircraft on our aircraft carriers (including Soviet ones). And when will be - HZ. However, something from the shore can cope with target designation - the same AWACS or satellite. Or an UAV from an arsenal ship.
    2. There would be a catapult on this beauty. So that the possibility of using an air connection does not depend on the state of the power plant, small, medium or full speed. So that the machines can take off even when drifting (with a half combat load). This is especially critical with respect to the combat readiness of the allocated duty forces .
    3. A plane with a control unit is also ... bad. AUG maybe he will see for 300 km. Or maybe not. But for less contrasting purposes such as groups of surface ships, the range will be quite comparable with the same range of naval air defense systems.

      Due to the small composition of strike aircraft and the lack of refueling with a normal AWACS, it is difficult to fully accomplish the tasks of air strikes, but giving combat stability to operational naval units (that is, strengthening / guarding) is just the thing: to repel reconnaissance aircraft and ward off airplanes and from boats a horde of helicopters and missiles to shoot and radars on board the enemy’s not worthless range to detect on the approach and the complex of their own space communications.

      Secondly, in a combat situation, the GKP is not located in the superstructure. The ship and aircraft are controlled from the central control center located deep in the "belly" of the ship. It is structurally protected from direct penetration of the "Harpoon" anti-ship missile system, and has at least 2 upward exits. Information about the external situation from the radar and TLV.

      It is clear that both the MiG-29K and the MiG-29KUB at the Vikramaditya are being worked out for Kuznetsov. Because it's no secret that the SU-33 is an excellent aircraft, but it was designed for Ulyanovsk. And only intrigues put him on the deck of "Kuznetsov" from which he was forced to start, at best, with three quarters of ammunition, but when there were problems with the propulsion system, they flew empty altogether. So now everything is back to normal.

        I completely agree, +! Although with 3 / 4BK ... only the testers tried and ... quickly returned to normal takeoff weight (2P-27 and 2P-73), fortunately, when developing the Su-27 family, these missiles are just included in the criterion "normal takeoff weight" ! soldier

        I will support comrade! Drying 33rd was originally adapted for the ship version with the Su-27, and this is known to be a heavy destroyer for gaining air supremacy. Mig light forontovykh destroyer, was developed according to such performance characteristics: long range, the ability to use short runways (including the use of poorly prepared strips), excellent agility, speed above 2 max and heavy weapons. And Kuznetsov himself belongs to the class of light aircraft-carrying cruisers. Given that now there is no experience in the construction of catapults, probably the choice in favor of the MIGs is understandable! Yes, and carry on board MIGs, as I understand it, can be more, due to the smaller size! We have not yet decided on the new appearance of the aircraft carrier cruisers, it’s clear that it will be with the Atomic Reactor and a displacement of 75 tons. IMHO if such a ship appears, it is most likely closer to 000.

    An anonymous source in the Ministry of Defense told Interfax that the aircraft carrier's march to the shores of Syria is not planned in the near future: "There is no need for the presence of a TAVKR in the Mediterranean Sea, since a group of the Russian Navy is deployed there, capable of performing all possible tasks." So that's it. According to Interfax, the long-distance campaign was planned for the beginning of next year, according to the Military-Industrial Courier, for December 5 of this year. On 05.09 the cruiser passed the course mission (performed live firing) in the Barents Sea after the restoration of technical readiness, in October, carrier-based aircraft flights will begin.
    On September 13, Independent Military Review, citing Interfax-AVN, reported that in the first half of 2014, Kuznetsov will undergo major overhaul and deep modernization at Sevmash. This is both good and bad. Good - because after the repair, the TAVKR will return to the Navy with a qualitatively updated (I hope that with a new reliable power plant), bad - because for five long years Russia will cease to be an aircraft carrier. The cancellation of the Varyag's visit to Australia is directly related to the cancellation of the Kuznetsov's trip to the Mediterranean Sea. In other words, "Varyag" goes there not in order to strengthen the naval aircraft carrier group, but in order to replace it. The last known photographs of "Kuznetsov" were taken during the ship's departure from Murmansk on 21.08.2013 (photo johnkey68 from forums.airbase.ru) - the aircraft carrier is permanently based on the territory of the Murmansk branch of the Zvezdochka CS for the well-known reason for the lack of the necessary infrastructure in Severomorsk ...

      In the technical condition in which Kavnetsov’s Tavkr is located, the transition to the Mediterranean Naval Theater and the fulfillment of tasks is very controversial. It is risky to send a ship with repeatedly extended resources of the main and auxiliary mechanisms to the Mediterranean Sea without the presence of bases and allies before being repaired for military service. Especially in the autumn-winter period. It is necessary to have at least a workshop equipped with modern tools and a set of spare parts.

    And the pyramid, as you know, is being built from the base, that is, first the guard ships should leave the slipways, and only then you can take care of the aircraft carriers themselves.

    And if you start building a pyramid from the top, you can be left without an expensive aircraft carrier in the first conflict.

    Now we need 2-3 escort aircraft carriers. The task is the qualitative strengthening of air defense, anti-aircraft defense, reconnaissance, target designation, long-range AWACS connections on an isolated theater of operations. Such aircraft carriers are smaller, cheaper, non-nuclear, can be built in the foreseeable time at existing shipyards, correspond to the existing repair base. They complement existing surface ships with their albeit limited strike capabilities, correspond to the tasks facing the fleet, and make it possible to train specialists in operation and control.

              I know the goals and objectives of an escort aircraft carrier. They include transportation of aircraft, support for landing and escorting convoys to ensure their PLO / PVO (but first of all - PLO). But the trouble is that escort aircraft carriers have not existed for many decades. In principle, with a big stretch, you can try to record the same British Invincibles in escort aircraft carriers, but they had a clearly expressed anti-submarine orientation and their task in the plans of the great war was to hunt for Soviet submarines with the goal of not letting them into the Atlantic. Those. Invincible and an escort aircraft carrier have about the same thing as a female programmer with a guinea pig (not a mumps or a guinea pig) (dear female programmers, sorry, this is a stupid joke). However, with a strong desire, a similarity can still be found, sometimes escortmen were part of ship-hunting submarine groups.
              But what you mean by the tasks of the class of ships that does not exist today - I, of course, do not know. I would like to understand, because a ship is valuable in the task it performs. I myself do not see the tasks for small aircraft carriers for the Russian fleet.

      The military does not set tasks for itself. The fleet does not set tasks for itself. The armies and fleets are a tool of politicians. The tool does not seek work for itself. This is done by a person or a group of people using the tool. Escort aircraft carriers have a significant drawback - the lack of a catapult. What imposes serious restrictions on the rise of aircraft, makes the wing command dependent on weather conditions, navigation conditions, speed of the aircraft carrier, the lack of the ability to raise aircraft carrier on-duty forces at any time.

          Sending TAVKR Kuznetsov with airplanes, without airplanes, with helicopters, without helicopters, in any case, will not take place. The technical condition of the Tavkr Kuznetsov requires the start of overhaul immediately. The postponement of the start of repair has passed all reasonable limits.

We and "Kuznetsova" do not know where to screw it and what to do with it, then during repairs, then in the north it drives bears. This is a vessel for the ocean, but we do not have such and in the near future is not expected. In the Baltic Sea, the Russian aircraft carrier is not needed nafig, because all potential adversaries are well fed by land aviation, on the Black Sea - especially since at the Pacific Fleet we have an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" - Sakhalin. Now it is not the Cold War and we do not live in the Soviet Union, we do not bring democracy to the Papuans, we do not have bases in third countries, and in the ocean there are enough submarines in case of something.

    India needs aircraft carriers, it has an ocean at hand and needs to be controlled, China needs friendly visits to no less friendly African countries, the United States needs to bring the light of democracy. And Russia, in my opinion, now needs more modern destroyers and attacking submarines

    I want to congratulate shipbuilders on their initiative!
    ps comrade Confucius even said the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, so let it be the first step for Russian shipbuilders.

    It is clearly not advisable to build aircraft carriers in Russia just "so that they were" and can say that we have them, without imagining what tasks they need to perform now. Perhaps in the near future they will be needed, and experience in operating Kuznetsov and experience in repairing Vikramaditya will not be superfluous it is not superfluous even now. The main thing is to know for sure whether we need them now or in the near future, because such types of weapons may appear that will not give a chance to aircraft carriers.

    Guys, yes to the Indians, THANKS must be said from us and from the entire ship industry! Thanks to the orders of their Navy in the harsh 90s and early 2000s, the shipyards were able to load our destroyers with the completion of them. And if not for them, "Gorshkov" would have decayed in the backwater. This is how the NSR was able to work out the production of surface large-tonnage ships, new for the Russian industry. Otherwise, apart from talking about aircraft carriers, the matter would never have gotten off the ground in the future. smile

    So far, Russia does not need aircraft carriers. We need icebreakers, tankers, gas carriers, platforms for oil and gas production, and all this is desirable to build at home.
    Build dozens of destroyers, frigates, corvettes, submarines, infrastructure, bases, including in the north and keep it all right.

    Focus more on air defense and missile defense ships

    There will be interests beyond the oceans - then you can build aircraft carriers.

    For Russia with open spaces, airships are needed to develop the north and the Far East

    Good day to all. Carriers are needed not only to crush someone over the horizon, but also to defend their own borders. In combination with a support group, this is both air defense and missile defense, and anti-ship and anti-submarine grouping. This is an outpost, the vanguard of defense. And, most importantly, this is a testing ground for break-in advanced shipbuilding, aviation, space and metallurgical technologies, and therefore for the revival of Russian science and economics. And, for sure, to solve problems in the field of economic law enforcement. Building one group will show what you are worth. Either steal the money (and bury Russia) and, then, worthless to you, or build and start again, rightfully, to be proud of yourself. And the construction of only one group will give work to all social layers of Russia. Because there will be a lot of work. It will be expensive, but necessary!

          These are competing projects, there is still one with 4 catapults and a small springboard, until it is lit.

          And far from the fact that the Navy will approve at least one of these models.

            Believe it or not, the Krylov State Research Center FSUE has NOTHING to do with aircraft carriers and never had. You can read more about this center here http://flotprom.ru/catalog/?ELEMENT_ID=3337
            The area of ​​responsibility of the Krylovsky State Scientific Center is the whole range of seaworthiness (propulsion, controllability, behavior on a wave), design of various types of propulsors, strength, including explosion resistance and vibration, ship power and electric power, acoustic and electromagnetic qualities, stealth technologies, nuclear and radiation safety . Experiments, normative and methodological documentation, recommendations, design rules, etc. - traditional products of the Krylovsky SSC. The subject of activity is also the conceptual development and projects of civil marine equipment.

            If you go to them on the website http://krylov-center.ru/eng/activities/system-integration-technologies/system-in
            tegration-in-the-field-of-military-korablestroeni / index.php
            then you will find out that they have been integrating military technology since 2012
            In general, it was like this (this is not absolutely accurate, rather my IMHO, as far as I was able to track the publications on the issue) Krvlovsky KGTs received the rights to military "integration" of course, they no longer had military experience. But there was a reason to report that the project of the aircraft carrier of the Nevsky PKB (which was developed by the same Kuznetsov) is being carried out under their patronage :)
            Those guys who were directly related to the design of aircraft-carrying ships (Nevsky PKB) presented a project of a slightly improved Ulyanovsk. Our management did not like this, at the end of 2012 the project was hacked to death http://flotprom.ru/news/?ELEMENT_ID=130414. As a result, the task of making an advance project (FAST) remained with the Krylovsky FSUE, which is in this business ... Well, so they made an “advance project” As the German sailors said, when they saw the project of the cruiser, drawn by the Kaiser himself: “The ship is magnificent, only it will not float”

    But for the URYalkins, of course Forward and Forward !!!! GIVE !!!!




    For the design and subsequent construction of an aircraft carrier, we first need a national idea. It doesn’t. We need a balanced domestic policy. It doesn’t. For the construction of the aircraft carrier, we had to start training workers, craftsmen, engineers and shipbuilders five years ago. We had to start building a modern shipyard five years ago. equipped with modern equipment. Five years ago it was necessary to start designing a modern AWACS aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, EW aircraft. The Navy GK Admiral of the Fleet N.G. Kuznetsov said the fleet was also tasked. The military-political leadership is unable to clearly and loudly explain the need even for Mistral. There is silence about the aircraft carrier. For effective use, 4 aircraft carriers are needed. Two for the KSF and two for the KTOF. But there is and is unlikely to appear an infrastructure for basing aircraft carriers, there is no one to equip the crews of aircraft carriers and security ships.

    I totally agree.
    Why do we have a constant obsession with "catch up and overtake no matter what"? Look at the world map where amerovskoe naval bases are indicated, their number, the number of countries tied to providing AUG. I have a feeling that those who propose the immediate construction of aircraft carriers have decided to arrange a world redistribution. First, identify a potential adversary. As soon as the first aircraft carrier is laid on the stocks, this is a formal declaration of war on America. don't think of US analysts as stupid people. I hope they are not supposed to be used in the Northern Arctic. Russian territory allows assault and strategic aviation to strike at any camp in our hemisphere. It means only to build them for our "friends" from overseas. the reaction will be immediate and violent. Secondly, name the company where construction is possible. I'm not talking about the construction of the entire full-fledged group. Then the training of the operating personnel and still a lot of problems (there is no professional army). In one comment, it will not work out everything. It was in the 30s of the last century that it was possible to build the best weapon of the Great Patriotic War at the expense of the social system. Under the current conditions, try to take away toys (cars, real estate, etc.) from "plankton and hamsters" - this will be a small prank in Swamp. Moreover, the main owners of the industry are not under Russian jurisdiction. Here are the problems to tackle first.

    Bugaga, I can say with 95% accuracy that the slogans wassat will prevail in this topic in the comments
    We have not yet been able to build a single full-fledged aircraft carrier and this is a fact. We have neither personnel nor equipment for the construction of aircraft carriers, and this is fact No. 2.
    The "priority" of equipping the Russian Navy with aircraft carriers is very doubtful, and very, very many other facts, such as the budget, etc., etc.

    You guessed.
    Moreover, Fact number 3. For a hundred years since 1913 the Americans (the first "Langley", the last one introduced by "George W. Bush") got 77 pieces. The Russian fleet is not a single one falling under the standards. Do you think before the men "vaasche not fumbled" in the strategy of sea battles ??? And SS - 18 theoretically proved to be suitable for interplanetary flights. Or did it just happen? Aviation, if not for the 90s, would not have been equal in the world. And "Kuz'kina's MOTHER"? The army is formed for specific tasks, and not according to the principle of everything and for many things. I think the concept of supposed responses to potential enemy combat hasn't changed much since the last century.

    The construction of a modern aircraft carrier (s) is now beyond our reach either financially or technologically. Only one problem with email. magician. catapults are worth something! The current GPV 2020 has already laid a heavy burden on the country's economy. Now, if 20 years ago it was possible to preserve the TAVKRs "Minsk", "Kiev", "Novorossiisk", now, it would be possible to rebuild them into light aircraft carriers of the "Vikramaditya" type. Now they would have 2 "budget" aircraft carriers in the Northern Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. And so the rogue admirals sold the cruiser on the cheap for a great life.

    like kuzyu ala vikra gathered to masturbate ... yah, and so what is it for our sailors that the aircraft carrier, in principle a brand in its concept of an icebreaker-breaking of the coast guard and a cover-patrol of 200 tons of miles, is an ideal option, everything is there, a couple of dozen flyers, powerful PCR and air defense, one kuzya + petruha is at least a day of lawlessness for which you can hack, protect any coastal defense, though swimming all the cards sports sports, which means we need aug already, the content of one day aug costs the region’s budget for the same day, we need it for show off? Amer Nimes are most of the service are in San Diego)))
    another kuzya + petruha looks reasonable on tof, well, I can’t believe me that we crap zae .. we have 4p full-fledged augs, two per sf and tof, and they will swim to the shaving, or to the san francisco-peck

    I could not even immediately decide how to speak: so many problems were intertwined in one concept of "shipbuilding". Strategic, geopolitical, design and technical, logistic, organizational, educational, socio-economic ...
    Honestly, it is painful to realize that the "committee members" (from the 300-ot committee) in Ukraine and Russia have missed out on everything that was related to shipbuilding in a city like Nikolaev: several design and research institutes, design bureaus, specialized factories , three shipbuilding plants, Nikolaev Shipbuilding Institute (NKI), one of two for the entire USSR, - now it is USMU, - one abbreviation is worth it. Now it trains lawyers, economists, designers, in general, anyone, just not engineers, real engineers, firstly, because they are not needed, and secondly, you can get a diploma for money, but you cannot become an engineer. The "last of the Mohicans", the turbine Zarya-Mashproekt, is barely glowing. If this plant also dies (and everything goes to this), the city will end. But Minsk, Kiev, and Varyag left its stocks ...

    With the collapse of the Union, all the technologies and documentation for the construction of aircraft-carrying ships remained in Ukraine, in the city of Nikolaev (Black Sea shipyard) where during the years of the USSR all our ships of this class were built, repaired and modernized (Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Baku (Gorshkov), Minsk, Novorossiysk, Kuznetsov, Varyag, Ulyanovsk). None of the shipbuilding enterprises had more similar stocks ... Sevmash, always specialized in the construction and repair of nuclear submarines, and his modernization of "Gorshkov" in "Vikramaditiya" made it possible to work out a new technology for the plant and develop design documentation ... Of course, shout "Hurray" is still early, for the development of such technologies, and even more so for the construction of aircraft carriers, we are still far away, but a colossal work has been done by the workers of the plant, and most importantly, the Navy has a crew capable of operating a ship of this class ... this is also important ... as one famous literary hero said; -The ice is broken, gentlemen of the jury ... In the photo is the conclusion of "Vikramaditya" from Sevmash ...
