Russian fleet goes under water

Aircraft carrier "Gerald R. Ford" at the shipyard "Newport News Shipbuilding"


Usually so called articles on the plight of our fleet. However, today is about something else. The aircraft carrier was deleted from the military shipbuilding program until 2020, but they left the project 885 nuclear submarines (nuclear submarines). So the Russian fleet is on the familiar road of the Soviet fleet. Once again, the main strike force will be nuclear submarines with cruise missiles (CR), which are also called nuclear submarine missile cruisers (APRK). The submarine fleet will not fail, and the aircraft carrier, as Leonid Ilyich used to say, - weapon capitalist aggression and therefore, as Sergey Gorshkov sang along with him, he was alien to the Soviet naval doctrine. It turns out that the main shock force of our fleet goes under water. Blame - immersed. Hence the name of the article.

There is no need to explain that an aircraft carrier is extremely valuable in case of the so-called asymmetric threats, that is, in those conflicts in the perspective of which there is no doubt in the XNUMXst century. In contrast to the aircraft carrier, the APRK is not effective in such conflicts. He cannot support the landing of an inspection team, the release of hostages or the landing of a landing on the beach; he cannot be as effective as the deck aviation, control shipping and are not able to protect our ships from attacks by pirates or from air bombardments.

These are truisms, therefore, domestic fighters against aircraft carriers entrenched in the leadership of the Navy, apply a different argument. Namely: the weak combat stability of the aircraft carrier and the relative cheapness of the APRC.

They argue that an aircraft carrier is effective only in the fight against a weak adversary; in a serious war, an aircraft carrier is too large a target and will be sunk at the beginning of the conflict. Everything, as in Soviet times, while the commander in chief of the Navy, Sergei Gorshkov, also believed that aircraft carriers were useless in a third world war, and would not participate in local conflicts of the USSR Navy. So it turned out that an aircraft carrier is a weapon of capitalist aggression against weak countries, useless in the fight against the world's first state of workers and peasants. And the most effective means of deterring carrier-based strike groups (AUG) by the criterion of efficiency – cost is APRC. It is on these arguments, legs and there is a colossus, crushing any carrier-based encroachments in the Russian fleet. But is it not clay feet?

LEG No. 1

Let's see how much the APNG of the 885 project is needed to kill Nimitz. Since the calculations of the combat effectiveness of the 885 project are hidden under the heading of “secret”, we are left with only a way to independently calculate this efficiency. We take the combat effectiveness of the 949 project, the ancestor of the 885 project, as the starting point of our calculation. So dive in history...

Extensive efficiency studies began to be conducted in the Soviet Navy only at the end of the 70-s, when electronic computers appeared. Studies conducted by several organizations have shown that in order to ensure the destruction of one aircraft carrier from AUG, it was necessary to launch 100 – 150 Granit-type missiles in a volley. If all the missiles had nuclear warheads, then the number of missiles would be reduced almost 1,5 times. Thus, to solve the problem by the APNC of the 949 project alone, they required an average of six.

Let it not surprise a large number of missiles with nuclear warheads. In order for at least one nuclear missile to break through to an aircraft carrier, it is necessary to “sacrifice” as many missiles as it can shoot down the AUG air defense system. At the beginning of the 80, the AUG air defense could knock down the 70 – 120 Granit or X-22 rockets, depending on the tactical situation. It also follows that for the sinking of the American aircraft carrier, up to 30 it was necessary to hit Granit or 10 - 12 missiles to disable it.

Now let's turn to Onyx. In Onyx, as in Granita, penetrating warhead (PBC), but three times smaller in mass, but the mass of the rocket (it must also be taken into account when calculating the striking potential of a supersonic rocket) is only twice as small. Therefore, “Onyx” to destroy an aircraft carrier is necessary approximately two to two and a half times more - we take as the average 25 value of “Onyxes” hits for decommissioning an aircraft carrier. Of course, there will immediately be critics who will blame the author for not knowing that Onyx is equipped with a more advanced homing head (GOS), and, therefore, the missiles will hit the aircraft carrier pointwise: one to the aerofinisers and another four to the catapults. Total: only five "Onyxes" - and "Nimitz" is unarmed. Well, if you shoot at a Chinese frigate, or even better at an Afghan aul, then you can not only get into the arresting machine, you can get out the window, and even into a specific bed, where an international terrorist peacefully snores, and none of his wives and concubines were hurt. Wow, already captures the spirit that modern precision weapons can! But there is a snag. All these wonders of precision are achieved only in the absence of electronic countermeasures (REB). An aircraft carrier is not an aul for you, it’s not up to the aero-finisher, you would get into a ship.

Now we define the value of the "victim", that is, how many "Onyxes" can bring down the air defense of the modern AUG. The air defense consists of two components: the first is fighter aircraft, the second is the anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) of ships.

Consider the first component. From 2006, the aircraft wing of the American aircraft carrier includes up to the 60 F / A-18E “Super Hornet”, performing equally well the role of attack aircraft and fighter. AUG can constantly hide behind four locking F / A-18E. Each Super Hornet carries AIM-10 AMRAAM 120 missiles and is capable of shooting down Onyxes 5 – 6. Total: AUG air patrol will knock down Onyx 22.

Now the second component. And here, of course, we will talk about Aegis. Ah, we know, we know, he cannot knock Mosquito down, and X-15 is too tough for him, and Granit hardly beats him, but where can he go to Onyx! Indeed, it does not knock ... If you still live in 80, and if, like me, in 2013, it knocks, and how knocks! About "Aegis" we have little to write, but in vain. We'll have to fill a little gap. Since the newspaper is not a magazine and certainly not a book, the story will be brief and devoted only to the air defense system to the Aegis component.

The Aegis complex has two radars: SPY-1 (general detection and "rough" guidance) and SPG-62 (final guidance). The SPY-1 radar (four phased antennas) constantly operates in general detection mode and monitors air targets from 250 to 300. These targets can be either enemy missiles or their own Standard-2 missiles. The flight of the Standard-2 is monitored and periodically adjusted from the ship. When the “Standard-2” is at a distance of 10 km from the target, SPG-62 comes into play (there are four on Ticonderog, three on Arly Burke), they irradiate the target, and the semi-active GOS Standard-2, having captured it, it flies on to the reflected signal without adjusting the Aegis. Since one and the same station accompanies its own missiles and general target detection, Aidzhis has the ability, by reducing the number of accompanied targets, to increase the number of accompanying Standards-2 and vice versa. Hence, the striking "multi-channel", theoretically, to 100 shelling targets.


Nuclear submarine missile cruiser project 949A "Antey"


But there are no perfect solutions, of course. The element base of the beginning of the 80-x did not allow to create a perfect air defense system from the "Ajis". Combining the general detection and targeting in one radar, the Americans were forced to sacrifice both the detection range and the targeting accuracy. As a result, "Aegis" could not shoot down low-altitude supersonic ("Mosquito") or aeroballistic (X-15) goals. But why did the Americans go this way? For the sake of perspective. As time went on, Aegis improved, in 90, he learned to beat Mosquitoes and X-15, and in 2000, he reached out to space, becoming the world's first naval air defense / missile defense complex. Domestic shipboard SAMs, created by the 80-x ideology, no matter how modernized, but will not be the "Aegis". Therefore, we have one way - to create your Aegis. In the meantime, "Aegis" reigns in splendid isolation and beats every conceivable record of longevity.

But back to the main topic of this article. I did not write by chance - theoretically, it can simultaneously fire at 100 targets. In life, everything rests on the rate of fire of the universal vertical start-up of the installation (UVPU) Mk41. It will be decisive in our calculation. Since Tikonderogi gradually go down in history, we will continue to consider only Arly Burk. In the nose cellar of “Arly Burke” 4 MK41 (32 cells), in the aft - 8 Мк41 (64 cells). The rocket launch rate from the 1 cellar, sec., From two cellars in total - two rockets per second. It turns out that for the first 32 seconds. Arly Burke will launch 64 Standard-2, and the remaining 32 rockets will be released in 32 seconds. It is impossible to determine how many Americans will load anti-aircraft missiles, and how many drums. She is also a universal TLU, so as not to bind the admirals hands. Unlike us, Americans can like to change the range of missile ammunition. Therefore, we will have to accept the following assumption: since the conflict will begin in a threatening period, the Americans, fearing in advance our anti-ship missiles (RCC), will increase their anti-aircraft ammunition, hence assume that the 32 "Standard-2" is in the bow cellar, and in the stern cellar there are 48 "Standards -2 ”and 16“ Tomahawks. ” It turns out that in 48 seconds, Arly Burke will release 80 Standards-2.

Now we determine the reflection time of the attack. If the submarine of the 885 project can sneak up to AUG on 100 km, then Onyxes will go at low altitude. Then Aegis will find them at a distance of 35 – 32 minus 2 km — the dead zone for Standards-2, and it turns out that Onyxes will be under fire for 28 km. Onyx will cover this distance in 37 seconds, and Arly Burk will release 69 Standards-2 during this time. But that's not all. It is unlikely that the 885 submarine's rate of fire is higher than that of the 949 submarine, that is, less than one second, then the 885 submarine of the project will need 31 seconds more to launch the remaining missiles, which, in turn, will allow the Arly Berk to release the remaining "Standards-2".

It turns out that one "Arly Burke" will release 80 "Standards-2" and, with a probability of hitting 0,7 (example, the average 0,65), will knock down the 52 "Onyx". And how many "Arly Berkov" in the composition of the AUG? The composition of the AUG of the US Navy usually includes the 5 – 6 Ticonderog and Arly Berkov. So we’ll assume that Arly Berkov is attacked by the AUG 5. If the attack is made from a distance of 100 km, that is, at a low altitude, and from one direction, then only Arly Burka's 3 can take part in the attack. In this case, the escort ships shoot down the Onyx 156. But this scenario is unlikely.

As early as the end of 70, the leadership of the Soviet Navy made it clear that it was impossible to guarantee that several APRKs could reach the 50 – 60 distance from AUG. Therefore, the APRK of the 661 project with long-range (operational assignment) anti-ship missiles replaced the APRK of the 670 and 949М projects. Yes, of course, the boats of the 885 project are much more secretive than the boats of the 949 project, but the American anti-submarine defense (PLO) does not stand still. Therefore, we will be honest and recognize that the attack will have to start from the maximum shooting distance and, therefore, "Onyxes" will fly at high altitude (5 – 6 thousand meters). In this case, Aegis will begin to repel the attack from the 250 km distance, and Arly Berki, shooting up, will not be constrained by neighboring ships and will be able to take part, without exception, in repelling the strike. In this case, they will shoot down the Onyx 260.

Now we summarize the number of “Onyxes” received, which is necessary to bring the aircraft carrier out of action: 25 + number knocked down by an air patrol, 22 + number knocked down by escort ships (260), total: 307. Therefore, a joint launch of the 10 APRK of the 855 project is necessary for the guaranteed disabling of the aircraft carrier from the AUG. Not a small amount, but even more than was previously required for the XRUMX APRK project. It may be objected that new hypersonic RCCs are already being created and they will arm the boats of the 949 project. Soon, PR affects, but not soon the product is done. What is now called hypersonic RCC is not yet hypersound. The promised 885-4М (M is the Mach number, or the ratio of the flow velocity at a given gas flow point to the local sound propagation velocity in a moving medium) is only the threshold beyond which the real hypersonic velocity begins. In the meantime, they promise us only to approach, and not to cross the threshold. But such "hypersonic" goals and our "Fort-M" and "Aegis" are being shot down now. To overcome the "Aegis", you need 5M, but also to maneuver during the attack, otherwise "Standard-10" will hit the target on 3M. And to such a PKR still oh, very far. So, the proposed 10 APNC for the construction of the 10 885 can be scary only one out of ten American AUGs. But this danger Americans can easily avoid. They only need to double their AUGs, and the 10 APRK of the 885 project will not do anything to this connection.

LEG No. 2

So, we have crushed the first leg - the weak combat stability of an aircraft carrier. Now we turn to the second leg - the relative cheapness of the APRK. In the domestic press, including electronic, there is still a popular opinion that the 949 submarine is cheaper than the Nimitz aircraft carrier by a factor of 10. A classic example of the evidence base is the following: “As of the middle of the 80-s, the cost of one boat of the 949 project was 226 million rubles, which at par was only 10% of the cost of the Roosevelt multipurpose aircraft carrier (2,3 billion dollars without value his aviation wing) ”.

What is the denomination? Where it comes from - go and figure it out. For example, if you recalculate the average wage, then in the US in 1986, it was 1444 dollars, and in the USSR - 206 rubles. Then it turns out, the dollar against the ruble in purchasing power can be 7 to 1. In this case, Roosevelt is only 1,5 times more expensive than the 949 project. But this is also wrong, because the dollar is a freely convertible currency, but there is no ruble, and there was no real market in the USSR, and it was not enough to have money for a car or an apartment, it was also necessary to have the right to purchase them. Well, how in this case, consider the "nominal"? If you do not take into account the socio-economic model of the state, then it turns out that the most effective military-industrial complex in the world is in the DPRK, where AK-47 will be collected for a bag of rice. But I firmly believe that those who read with admiration, and those who write about the “cheapness” of the 949 project, will not even work as a janitor for a bag of rice or for 100 dollars.

But this article is not about the charms of socialism or capitalism, so let’s dwell on the fact that you cannot determine the relative cost of the 949 project and Nimitz. And even now, when in Russia, more or less, but capitalism and the ruble are freely convertible into a dollar, you cannot derive the cost ratio. Example: the cost of the last “Nimitz” - “George Bush” 6,2 billion dollars (2009 year), and the cost, according to the contract, of the second boat of the project 885 “Kazan” - 47 billion rubles, or 1,45 billion dollars. four times cheaper, but at the expense of what? Is it due to wages? So, the average wage of a worker, net of taxes, on Sevmash 1100 dollars, and on Newport News, after paying taxes, 3250 dollars. Felt the difference? Of course, they can tell me that, they say, medicine is more expensive for them, but I will say that they have food, clothes and housing cheaper, and in general “Sevmash” is the north, and Newport News is a warm south. I didn’t hear that they were going to work at Sevmash from all over Russia, but the Newport News was the American “working Mecca”.


The dream of Russian sailors is an atomic aircraft carrier. The project of heavy aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk.


So how then to determine the relative cost of the APRK and the nuclear multi-purpose aircraft carrier? There is only one correct way - to compare the relative cost of a nuclear boat and an aircraft carrier in the same country, and thereby obtain the desired ratio. For example, the cost of an aircraft carrier project 11437 "Ulyanovsk" in 1989 was estimated at 750 million rubles, and boats of the project 949А in the same year - at 300 – 320 million rubles. That is, in the USSR, the cost of an atomic aircraft carrier was equal to the 2,4 APRK.

Now an American example. Only need to find the right analogues. The Nimitz is comparable to the Ulyanovsk, the first, however, more in displacement, but the second has more sophisticated electronic and rocket weapons. But to find an analogue of the 885 project or the 949 project is more difficult. “Virginia” is clearly too small and simpler, and it should be compared with the boat of the 971 project, but “Seafulf” is quite comparable in complexity with the boat of the 885 project. So, the construction of the second building of Siefulf (Connecticut) in 1998 cost 2,4 billion dollars, and the cost of construction of Gary Truman (the eighth Nimitz) in the same year amounted to 4,5 billion dollars. It turns out, 1,9 "Sifulfa" is equal to one "Nimitz". And here it should be noted that if Ulyanovsk were designed as a real multi-purpose aircraft carrier, and not as a heavy aircraft carrying cruiser (TAKR), that is, it would not have sophisticated radio-electronic and especially strike missile weapons, then its construction would be cheaper by about 100 million rubles. And the ship project 11437 would cost two APRK. So, the ratio that the two APRKs are equal in value to one nuclear aircraft carrier can be considered proven.

I foresee indignation, they say - the aircraft carrier itself is not a weapon, it needs aircraft and escort ships, and this is the main item of expenditure. But this “anti-avianos” argument is the weakest. Not a single modern ship, nor even a nuclear submarine, can be "one warrior in the field." The Soviet Navy had a submarine orientation, but was forced to develop a surface fleet, and by 1991 it had more than 100 1 and 2 rank ships, which would be more than enough for 15 AUGs. Similarly, present-day Russia has about 30 of such ships, which is enough for 5 AUGs. And that's not counting the construction of corvettes and frigates 12.

And on the deck aircraft will not have to spend extra. Our ship planes are only modernized land. And the fifth-generation T-50, as announced, will be made in both land and deck versions. This means that you just need to redistribute the order for new aircraft to 2020 year. It is necessary to reduce the order for land versions of the MiG-29, Su-35, T-50 and enter the order for the ship. Flight and technical staff can be taken from the Air Force. With such a redistribution of the air defense resource, Russia will not suffer, since, unlike the APRK cruise missiles, the deck aircraft can operate not only from the deck, but also from the airfield. And if needed, decked-wing aircraft will immediately relocate to coastal airfields and, having passed into the command of the Air Force, will turn into front-line aviation.

It follows from the above that, instead of 10 APCS, Russia can build five full-fledged aircraft carriers and form five AUGs from them.

LEG No. 3

So, the second leg - the relative cheapness of the APRK in comparison with the aircraft carrier, we also crushed. But oh, a miracle! The colossus does not fall, why? The fact is that while we were crushing his legs, a third leg was substituted for him, which earlier, for ideological reasons, could not be. And this leg is stronger than the previous ones, because they put it not only the anti-avian lobby, but also the supporters of the aircraft carrier. The bottom line is that Russia has neither a place to build an aircraft carrier, nor the appropriate technologies. And, therefore, the very discussion that it is better to build an APRK or an aircraft carrier loses all meaning. Disassemble this leg.

Where did the opinion come from that we have nowhere to build an aircraft carrier? Find on the Internet the telephone of the receiving director of Baltiysky Zavod and mock him with this statement. Yes, the discharge weight of the Nimitz is too big for the plant, but the body of the aircraft carrier, comparable to the Enterprise, is real. And the plant can lower such cases every 2,5 of the year. Not enough plant capacity for quick completion and construction of the lead aircraft carrier will be delayed? And who prevents to arrange cooperation and transfer the lowered hulls to other plants? The Chinese "Varyag" in tow across the world held, what are we worse? Just to stop the construction of a series of boats of the 855 project, the Sevmash capacity will be released, and then the Baltiysky Zavod will assemble the hulls, and the Sevmash will finish building. So we have a place for construction, there would be a desire.

I foresee, of course, indignation, they say, the frames have been lost - there is no way for Vikramaditya, and nothing good will come of it. And where are we not lost? Epopee with "Bulava" forgotten? And "Kazan", which for more than a year can not pass? And by the way, Kazan, I remind you, Sevmash is building - the main specialist in the construction of nuclear submarines, and still some flour. Why are there new types of weapons, you will remember the Algerian shame with the MiG-29, and with what disgrace the USC, the 1159 project guard, for the same Algeria last year repaired! The list goes on. With us wherever you throw - everywhere a wedge, and now - sit back? Yes, we will build the lead aircraft carrier in the throes of the 10 years, but he is the leader, and there is nothing to fear.

What are the key technologies necessary aircraft carrier, we do not have? It turns out that we have already lagged behind China and India, since they can build aircraft carriers there, but we can’t? But this is obvious nonsense. For the answer, we turn to the leadership. In 2011, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Vladimir Vysotsky, stated that the domestic shipbuilding industry can only offer an outdated version of the 90-s aircraft carrier, while the United States is building a fundamentally new aircraft carrier, Gerald R. Ford. That is, if for India and China an aircraft carrier of the 90-x level is an achievement, then for Russia it is a shame. And what does Russia need? And the answer to this question can be found at the same commander in chief. Russia needs a "multi-media" IAC! What kind of beast? We rummage in the press, turn to the informants. An informant for ARMS-TASS from the military-industrial complex said that the IAC will be atomic in 80 thousand tons with a powerful missile system, a complex of compound control and 80 combat aircraft. I wonder how it all fits on it? The informer from USC explained that the MAC, at the request of the Navy, would not have a powerful missile system, but it would have full electric propulsion, electro-catapult and powerful radar to control near space. There is other information from which it can be concluded that the leadership of the Navy itself does not know what it wants.

But what all sources agree on is that the IAC must surpass "Gerald R. Ford", the Navy does not agree to anything less! Our naval commanders cannot understand that an aircraft carrier is primarily a floating airfield, and secondly, and thirdly, a floating airfield. The modernity of an aircraft carrier is determined only by its ability to ensure the basing of the modern wing. The rejection of the “Nimitz” and the transition to “Gerald R. Ford” is associated only with the introduction of new technologies and, as a result, the cheapening of operation. If we evaluate the capabilities of the basing of aviation, the "Gerald R. Ford" is not much different from the "Nimitz". And since we do not have new technologies yet, the aircraft carrier 90's will fit, the main thing is that T-50 can be based on it, the rest is husk. Why don't our admirals understand this? This requires separate narration.

DREAMS

Ah, if I were a king, well, or at least a president, then instead of a program to build an APRC, I would start building aircraft carriers. I am not against nuclear submarines, but Russia still has 24 multipurpose nuclear submarines (projects: 949, 945, 971), which by the main criterion - stealth - are superior to all the submarines built and planned for construction in France, China and India. Our submarine fleet is second in the world and second only to the US. The construction of 10 "Ash" will not lead us to the first position. But our surface fleet is completely devoid of aircraft carriers, is able to fight only with Somali pirates and is not able to protect our tourists from the next Arab spring. It is necessary to impose a temporary moratorium on the construction of nuclear submarines and to release the released resource on aircraft carriers. These funds will be enough for the construction of four aircraft carriers and the transformation of the Kuznetsov from the TAVKR aircraft carrier.

Only aircraft carriers need to be built without the "excesses" of the TAKR. Catapult must be available. It is necessary to forget about the springboard as a terrible dream. To begin with, let it be steam, then replace it with electromagnetic. Also, complete electric movement is required, which will give an inexhaustible reserve for modernization for the next 50 years. Aircraft carriers will be gas turbine, nuclear or diesel - not fundamental. In the presence of catapults, high speed is not necessary, and you can limit 25 – 27 to knots, as the French and the British did, which will significantly reduce the cost of building and operating an aircraft carrier and allow the use of technologies already mastered in USC in electric propulsion. Five aircraft carriers, these are five AUGs, of which four in a threatening period can be in service. Four AUGs are 250 – 270 multipurpose fighters. This amount is enough to gain air superiority over most countries of the world. Only a limited circle of great countries and Israel can not be afraid of such power.

And to this part of the article there will be critics, and the toughest are skeptics. "What 10" Ash ", what a defense order for 2020 year, all stolen, so that neither 10 APRK, nor the five aircraft carriers of Russia can not be seen as their ears." I will tell them this: before starting to redraw the defense order, I will appoint a special person to the position of chairman of the Accounts Chamber. Now believe that everything will work out?

      An aircraft carrier is a floating airfield. Its task is to deliver aviation far from its shores.
      By and large, what are Russian aircraft carriers for?
      1. To protect the sea borders ???
      Russia has the longest maritime border - the Arctic Ocean. Using AUG there is inexpedient. Icing, icebergs, extremely low temperatures. Most of the time the ocean is icebound. The aircraft carrier will either stand or go to other seas. But what will the aircraft carrier designed for the north do there ???
      The north is better protected by submarines that can fire from under the ice. Other coastal waters are not so long. And to gain superiority in the sky, you can use continental airfields. At sea - surface and submarine ships.
      2. To fight with other AUG ???
      Well, if it comes to this, then quite different weapons will most likely be used there ... An aircraft carrier is a weapon of large states. This means we will be fighting a "nuclear" state. There, the question of survival will be dominant. So the nuclear submarine looks much more preferable.
      3. To protect their interests in other regions ???
      Take Syria for example. Here our aircraft carrier has sailed. So what? Will Russian planes fly over Damascus? And on what basis will they fly there ??? This is interference in the affairs of other states (the UN will not give permission). Plus, who will give the order for our soldiers to fight in other countries ??? To defend our interests, we have a MTR. But they don't need AUG. If necessary, they will have a large landing craft and other fire support ships. And in general, such operations are carried out "on the quiet".
      4. The most important thing!
      Our doctrine is defensive in nature. We do not need an airfield off the coast of others to conduct defense. AUG is good if you go to capture coastal states. We don’t need someone else!
      Maybe we need the AUG ... but it’s preferable in a large-scale war - the nuclear submarine.

        If this other weapon is used, then nobody needs a submarine. They will shoot their nuclear missiles along with ground-based carriers, wipe the world into powder and live submariners for a couple of months longer than the rest of the world's population. It makes sense? if we talk about the use of nuclear weapons, then any ships are not needed

        If Russia only defended its entire history, it would now be much smaller in size. This is even if you do not recall the size of the USSR

          I agree. In the case of nuclear explosives, before they strike, they will think: what will they answer to me? AUG may try to block, neutralize. Poplars will fly so far, you can also try to neutralize. But the submarine, maybe located in the Gulf of Mexico, right next to it :)

              Nobody! At the very beginning of the threatening period, at the stage of diplomatic "polemics", they will be ordered to move to the shores of the United States. Or maybe they are now in the Gulf of Mexico.
              Remember, recently there were a couple of scandals with Russian submarines, which only allowed themselves to be discovered when they left the Gulf of Mexico ??? Moreover, letting themselves be discovered, they repeated the same thing in a few months. And nothing, were able to sneak a second time :)
              And who will guard them off the coast of America? If there is a war, the vast majority of the US Navy will be in combat areas. And how many ships and submarines will guard the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific coast, the Atlantic coast ??? It is clear that ours will also be in the areas of hostilities. But with Us, the entire territory is land, which has military units, air defense, etc. Are there many such military bases in the United States throughout the United States ??? Their war is a war on a foreign continent. Therefore, it will be much easier for us to break through their "continental" defenses. Almost all of their bases are foreign bases. And almost all of their air defenses and other paramilitaries are not in the United States.
              The most important. The American Doctrine states that if the number of losses of the US Armed Forces exceeds 20%, then this war is impractical, because these losses are critical for the United States. This we are fighting on our territory, and the war we have to the last drop of blood, to the last soldier. This is our homeland. And they will fight, to hell on the puffs! To replenish the reserve, they need to sail to the base and replenish the reserves. It is long and inefficient.

        Russia has the longest maritime border - the Arctic Ocean. Using AUG there is inexpedient. Icing, icebergs, extremely low temperatures. Most of the time the ocean is icebound. The aircraft carrier will either stand or go to other seas. But what will the aircraft carrier designed for the north do there ???
        The north is better protected by submarines that can fire from under the ice. Other coastal waters are not so long. And to gain superiority in the sky, you can use continental airfields. At sea - surface and submarine ships.


        And you did not indicate about the Pacific Ocean, at least you need to have an 3 aircraft carrier.
        Japan is not a friendly country for us
        China - good today, tomorrow it’ll stick a knife in the back

          1. About the Pacific Ocean.
          Maybe .. but only one. Will float around the world and show the "muscles" of Russia. Now to Venezuela on a friendly visit, then to the Mediterranean Sea to the shores of Syria, in order to intimidate the adversaries.
          An aircraft carrier is needed only when the range of aviation from its airfields is insufficient to conduct combat operations. In the Pacific Ocean, we have no remote islands to which our aircraft cannot reach.
          Most importantly, aircraft carriers were not used for naval battles, but for ground operations outside the radius of their aerodromes. The Americans have AUG, but they are fighting in other countries, and not on their territory. Moreover, they are used against states that cannot answer them. Remember: Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. Plus, the use of aircraft over the sea is a disastrous thing. Each ship has a huge number of air defense equipment. Missile systems will cope better with ships.
          2. About Japan.
          Japan is fully covered by the range of aviation from our airfields. Against their ships we have coastal complexes - "Bastion", surface and submarine ships and large landing ships.
          3. About China.
          China is a continental country. If he wants to attack, he will do it by land. With their fleet as well as with Japan.
          4. About the Yankees.
          The radius of the AUG (for ground operations) is limited by the combat radius of the aircraft. Russia is a continental country. They could fly to Vietnam from an aircraft carrier completely. There is a different situation. While their planes will fly to land, we will arrange for them such a wall of fire and metal that they will ... collapse.
          Russia needs aircraft carriers only if it intends to conduct ground operations very far from its borders.

              1. The range of US base aviation is huge. Why do they need aircraft carriers?
              I agree about long-range aviation, but it is very long and not economical. For war, the United States needs an airfield and preferably closer to the fighting. Therefore, aircraft carriers are building. But we are not them! We are not going to conduct full-scale hostilities on foreign territory. Moreover, to wage war with a state that is not our neighbor. The USA is fighting for resources. Russia is the richest country on the planet (in terms of natural resources). We do not need military expansion to other countries. There is diplomacy and MTR :)
              2. Battles of aircraft carriers (and with the involvement of aircraft carriers) in the Pacific Ocean in WWII were exclusively ground operations ??
              No, not exclusively terrestrial. But after the Second World War, aircraft carriers were used to support the US armed forces in ground operations.
              3.Submarines should also not fight on their territory. The only exceptions are diesel people. And in general, "one's own territory" is the territorial waters of one's state?
              Yes. "Its territory" is the territorial waters of its state. After all, we are talking about which is better: PL or AUG. The Americans are using the AUG for war on foreign soil. The task of our Armed Forces is to protect the integrity of our borders and retaliate against the enemy's Armed Forces or its territory by the forces of the Nuclear Triad.
              4. What do you call a continental country? Explain what you mean by this concept. And why the USA is not a continental country.
              Maybe not quite correctly put it ... By a continental country I mean a country that is located on a continent and has long land borders with other countries. These countries have potential adversaries: Russia-China, Syria-Jordan-Saudi Arabia, etc. They need to have strong ground forces. The United States is a continental country, but it has only allies on the continent. Therefore, in order to defend its "parasitic" interests, it needs to overcome the oceans. That is why it needs floating airfields.

              AUG is a weapon of a major war. They are good against small states, and even when there are several allies. In a war with a strong state ... here "the grandmother wondered in two" ... Submarines look more attractive. Yes, and AUG - this is when we sailed and are fighting there. And where should we sail ??? And for what??? From the United States it is clear: there are no enemies on the continent, they are sailing for resources to small oil countries. Where are we going ??? Will we sail to the shores of the United States and will cover 1000 km by aircraft ?? Or terrorize Britain ?? If we go to war with the United States or Britain, then it will not reach the aircraft carriers there. AUG has many more disadvantages to a major war than AUG. And the most important thing! The nuclear submarine has a significant plus - it is a weapon of "retaliation". She is a deterrent weapon.

                And in the open sea (in the Ocean)? The main task of the fleet is the destruction of SSBNs and the destruction of important enemy military and administrative centers.

                These are versatile quantities "made" for different tasks. There are several types of submarines: RPKSN, PLARK, PLA, NAPL, etc. Aircraft carriers were also previously classified as "many-sided". Therefore, in order for the Com of the fleet to be free in choosing the tool for solving the assigned tasks to the fleet, the latter should be "balanced", i.e. contain forces in the necessary proportions to solve its inherent problems, starting with the AVU and ending with the art boat. But the main striking force m. atomic submarines of various classes and MRA with anti-ship missiles, as it was at the time of ONA.

              And against whom should our aircraft carrier apply ??? Against small countries without allies ??? They do not pose such a big threat to us. Russia enters another league.

            So I say - you need to build battleships. I remember that there were old Soviet drawings of guns who fired freely at 150 km. And for more distant shooting, projectiles were developed "with correction". That is, we already have 180 kilometers, even without any modernization of these eerily ancient projects. With intelligent modernization, that is, improvement of the drawing, construction using the most modern technologies and materials, then you can easily get 200 km. And the ultra-modern MSA will allow at such a distance to hit with a projectile not even into a specific window - it will be easy to hit a specific person. And now imagine such an atomic ship, completely protected from all existing and promising anti-ship missiles, carrying 16 406-mm guns on board, shooting with ease at distances over 200 km ... This is where the real, and not speculative power!

          O_o srach lit up.
          AUG air defense in the early 80s, depending on the tactical situation, could bring down 70-120 Granit or X-22 missiles. It follows from this that for the sinking of the American aircraft carrier it took up to 30 hits of missiles "Granite" or 10 - 12 to disable it.

          Now let's turn to Onyx. Onyx, like Granite, has penetrating warheads (LHBs), but three times less in mass, but the mass of the rocket (it also needs to be taken into account when calculating the attack potential of a supersonic missile) is only half. Therefore, the Onyxes to defeat an aircraft carrier need about two - two and a half times more - take as the average value of 25 hits "Onyx" to incapacitate an aircraft carrier.

        And rightly so - the basis of the AUG strike power is carrier-based aviation. Meanwhile, even the slightly outdated S-300 is still the absolute champion in defense against air attacks. Our cruiser Peter the Great is afraid of NATO, like the British Tirpitz. After all, it’s absolutely impossible to beat him from the air. This is impossible even theoretically. After all, just two deck S-300s and a bunch of other air defenses defend the cruiser. What can we say about the current S-400 and the S-500 under development ... Meanwhile, without aircraft, the bearer is an exceptionally weak ship, devoid of any offensive weapons. For this, the American Puppies came up with AUG to protect a completely defenseless nose.

        All the noise around this descent is an advertising PR. The USA is simply silent about the fact that before the launch of this ship ten years can pass and this type of aircraft carrier can repeat the fate of Zamvolt (when instead of 32 units, only 3 will be built).
        But the thing is, the three main systems (for which it was started) do not yet exist in real life, namely:
        1 Turbo-electric landing system (not even a working prototype and real tests)
        2 Electro-magnetic catapult (Exists in the form of a ground model that doesn’t come close to the working version. Now even Indians are trying to involve in development since the British abandoned this topic.
        3 Two-band radar. There is no working option. Because of this, Zamvolt has lost it.
        So while it’s just a big and expensive trough, it just won’t be able to finish it quickly. In general, the situation is somewhat reminiscent of some of our long-term construction projects only on a larger scale. For example, replacing the first two positions with something from the existing one simply will not work.

      I agree, the author has "mistakes". For instance:
      You must forget about the springboard as a nightmare

      With catapults, high speed is not necessary, and you can limit yourself to 25 – 27 nodes,


      The springboard was not invented by chance. You really cannot do without it in the North. And you can even take off "on the stop", i.e. no aircraft carrier move. The thrust-to-weight ratio of our deck aircraft allows this. This was regularly practiced at NITK in Saki. In addition, the springboard is many times cheaper than catapults and the probability of its "failure" is much lower.

      How does a car imagine the work of a steam catapult in winter in the northern seas?

      What's the problem? There is a nuclear reactor; it is not a problem to heat water to a state of steam. Deck heating can also be done. The second question is that of a pair of reactors, one will only work for heating.

        What's the problem?

        Not a single aircraft carrier with a steam catapult ever entered the Arctic Ocean. The Americans catapult is covered with a thick layer of ice when launching aircraft at the latitude of the Aleutian Islands. And then you forget about the pair that came out of the catapult and did not cover it with ice, everything that is behind the catapult in the direction of the ship’s movement will be in a cloud of steam, which will form ice on EVERYTHING: on antennas, superstructures, the deck, aircraft elevators, and on them airplanes. Can the F-18 take off with a covered layer of ice? I think the pilot is not a suicide, the ejection seat can also freeze and fail if the launch is unsuccessful. A nuclear power plant will have to warm up not only the catapult but the rest of the ship and a couple of kilometers of air behind the ship. Landing planes will also fall into a cloud of steam.

          No, I thought about steam. When the deck is heated, the water will simply evaporate and leave this steam in the ocean. On a dry deck, nothing will freeze. But about the add-ons yes .... you can not attach to each battery. Although ... the Americans have a lot of money, they can put a couple of meters of nichrome into each antenna.

            In Ekibastuz there is a power station GRES-1, near it there is a lake from which water is taken to cool the steam in the station’s condensers and hot water (not steam) is discharged into the same lake. So, in winter, this lake is almost invisible because of the steam, that it does not freeze, this is by itself. The size of the lake is 4x6 kilometers.

              In this case, the physics is different. In the north, the metal surfaces of the ship are cooled, and if steam gets in, I think there is no need to explain the result?

    Aircraft carriers are certainly needed, but one or more wunderfalls will not solve all the problems of the fleet.

    Yes, they are.

    No we will not, the long-suffering frigate "Gorshkov" is a confirmation of this.
    Well, why, then all this chatter? After all, no one refuses to build aircraft carriers, but immediately by 2020 we are not physically able to take out and lay out a full-fledged AUG (all the more without harming the development of other components of the Navy).

    I foresee indignation, they say - the aircraft carrier itself is not a weapon, it needs aircraft and escort ships, and this is the main item of expenditure. But this “anti-avianos” argument is the weakest. Not a single modern ship, nor even a nuclear submarine, can be "one warrior in the field." The Soviet Navy had a submarine orientation, but was forced to develop a surface fleet, and by 1991 it had more than 100 1 and 2 rank ships, which would be more than enough for 15 AUGs. Similarly, present-day Russia has about 30 of such ships, which is enough for 5 AUGs. And that's not counting the construction of corvettes and frigates 12.

    It follows from the above that, instead of 10 APCS, Russia can build five full-fledged aircraft carriers and form five AUGs from them.

    And how much money do you need to create escort ships ??? Our fleet has "a little" less ships than the Soviet Navy ... Or does the author suggest removing ships from all fleets?

    The rate of rocket launch from the 1 cellar is sec., Total from two cellars is two rockets per second. It turns out that in the first 32 seconds Arly Burke will release 64 Standard-2, and the remaining 32 missiles in another 32 seconds.

In the event of the explosion of even one missile with a nuclear weapon near the AUG, at least half of the electronics on the ships will bark, further development of events will already be superfluous.

                The submarine is also armed with a torpedo weapon. Therefore, if a combat order contains the task of "destroying" the AVU, the commander will carry it out as long as there is a weapon on board. Perhaps with a breakthrough of security, perhaps with a D salvo, it will throw 53-65K into the wake jet and start a post-salvo evasion maneuver - this is a matter of luck, skill, circumstances ... But that the plARKs will be redeployed on the AUG route - do not even doubt. An aircraft carrier always carries nuclear weapons, which makes it the # 1 target for our ships.

            Colonel - "The author writes not about the destruction of the ship's electronic equipment, but about the DESTRUCTION OF THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER. Do you understand the difference?" ...
            It turns out that 70-100 missiles with nuclear warheads are needed to destroy an aircraft carrier? Sorry, but this is not possible and unnecessary! Impossible - because there is simply no such ammunition for nuclear missiles on current boats (100% of missiles were never loaded into a boat with nuclear warheads), unnecessary - because such a quantity is excessive. As Ingvar 72 correctly noted, the very first nuclear explosion will leave the AUG "blind", burning all the electronics. After that, afloat will be just a bunch of useless iron, unable not only to attack someone, but also to protect themselves from subsequent blows. And during a war (after all, in the article is the scenario of a nuclear war, if nuclear weapons are mentioned?) This strike will follow in a few minutes after the first. Who will survive from the AUG after that?
            ps Yes! And why are only nuclear submarines taken into account? In fact, to destroy the AUG we also have long-range aircraft, why did they forget about the Tu-22M3? After all, this is one of the main tasks for these aircraft! In naval aviation, missile carriers were intended for this very purpose. Yes, they cut the naval aviation, but the Tu-shki remained! Yes, and Su -34 can carry anti-ship missiles!

        Aircraft carrier is a powerful weapon, but remember the Second World War. To win, you need a lot of inexpensive T-34s, and not some perfect Tigers and Panthers. The biggest drawback of an Aircraft Carrier is its cost. It is advantageous for the enemy to bind Russia with an expensive, well-known project. Symmetric projects are put in a losing position in advance.
        ACG is needed to maintain order in partisan countries, to demonstrate force, to provide air cover for the fleet far from its shore. If Russia is going to fight far into the sea, then an aircraft carrier is needed. But today, IMHO, the lack of strength to cover their shores.

      An aircraft carrier is a universal warship, its main task is to increase the combat stability of the diverse forces of the fleet brought together (squadron) and operating far from their bases and airfields (providing air defense PLO, etc.). One aircraft carrier can control maritime traffic on a vast stretch of the ocean (either completely stop it or cover it). The role of an aircraft carrier in conducting landing operations is great, but it is not intended to solve strategic tasks, such as the complete destruction of the enemy state.

        I will express seditious thought.
        Our fleet really doesn't need a universal combat ship in the form of an aircraft carrier. Well, in no way the AUGs do not fit into our naval doctrine. Remember how many aircraft carriers were built and used in the US WWII. But just which ones? Most of them were not huge monsters, and they were called "escort aircraft carriers", intended primarily for the protection of combat and transport connections of ships. Modern American AUGs are primarily a means of attack, and to a greater extent against land targets. This fact also confuses us.
        From here a simple conclusion - we do not need AUGs, we need escort aircraft carriers, small in displacement of 25-45 thousand tons, with an air group of 20-35 light fighter-bombers like MIG-29K. Such an escort aircraft carrier can give combat stability to any operational formation, and even amphibious forces. To build such aircraft carriers is simpler, faster, and in number of 4-6 pieces it will not be so burdensome, such as Nimitsov’s analogues ...
        And AUGs - no, not needed !!!

        By tasks:
        "Covering the deployment areas" Boreyev "# 1!"
        - Boreas unfold either in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk or in the Kara Sea / Laptev Sea. From the north to any likely enemy, the flight time of Borea is 20 minutes. Both there and there, the tasks of aircraft carrier aircraft are more effectively accomplished by ground-based aviation.

        "Distracting the enemy to our AUG, rather than the landing of the assault force №2!"
        Landing where? On kudykiny mountains against a strong adversary - in FIG not necessary, this is not a strategic task, but a propaganda one.
        Near Russia, the landings are remarkably supported by ground aviation.
        Away from Russia - against banana republics (like Seychelles) - there is enough UDC.

        "Again, air supremacy, for our" Ash "to reach the effective range of anti-ship missiles # 3!"
        Firstly, this task cannot be strategic - it is a tactical task, and if you need to drown the adversary, then the problem can be solved in different ways. If the task is to heat in the area of ​​Easter Island, then of course, it is better to use PKRami and AUG. But you can send a dozen Tu-160s in one direction. It’s just like the pilots that AUGs so far from the coast are suicide bombers. In order to do this, parity with the AUG states at least is needed, and this will ruin the country.

        "Covering your landing (this is generally a sore subject) # 4!"
        - about the landing - see goal number 2. Having AUG is very good, but first you need to understand where to land it

        "The opportunity to" calm down "some particularly arrogant sponsors of the war in a friendly country (I think everyone understands who they are talking about)."
        - I don't. Unclear. Are you talking about the states? The USSR has already tried to calm them down, remember how it went? On our Tbilisi and 4 Kiev (which, in principle, were not aircraft carriers), the amers had 20 full-fledged AUGs.
        - If you are talking about countries like Georgia, then again, ground aviation will do just fine.
        "It's another matter how to build and how much it will cost (taking into account our fucking corrupt officials) and of course a clear clear naval doctrine. But this is all possible only when there is order in power, and when all sorts of defenders 'rights" shake up "the devils' rights and we will finish building the frigate for another 5 years ... "

          Finally, following Putin’s visit, an act will be signed to transfer Vietnam to the first of six Varshavyanka Project 636 diesel-electric submarines. It will go into service with the Vietnamese Navy. The amount of the contract is about $ 2 billion. In addition, the SRV will receive from the Russian Federation in 2016 and 2017 two new patrol ships, the Cheetah-3.9. Earlier, Vietnam had already purchased two Cheetahs for its navy.
          The submarine will be delivered to the Vietnamese port of Camran at the end of December. A base will be created for the maintenance and repair of submarines. One part of the port will be used for military-technical purposes, the other for the implementation of business projects, the President of Vietnam said during his visit to Moscow.

          “In fact, we are talking about the return of the Russian fleet to Kamran after a 10-year hiatus, although the Vietnamese authorities prefer allegories so as not to provoke a surge of emotions in the United States or China,” says Vladimir Kolotov, head of the Department of History of Far Eastern Countries at St. Petersburg State University.

          During the Cold War, Camran was in the forefront of the military confrontation between the USSR and the USA. During the Vietnam War, the port was the rear base of the United States. In 1979, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam transferred Kamran to the USSR for a period of 25 years for use as a logistics point of the Soviet Navy at no cost. Later, Hanoi demanded to pay annually $ 300 million for the rental base. Moscow refused, and in 2002 the Russian military left Kamran.

          Experts clearly link the order for the construction of six submarines in Russia and the return of the Russian military to Kamran with the territorial claims of China

          to part of the islands of the Spratly archipelago and the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. In the early 1990s, oil and gas were found on the coral islands of Spratly and Paracela. Since then, Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia have disputed their right to use them. Some of these countries raised their national flags on the disputed islands. But a particularly tough territorial conflict is developing between Vietnam and China. It has repeatedly come to armed clashes.

    The submarine fleet will not let you down, and the aircraft carrier, as Leonid Ilyich used to say, is a weapon of capitalist aggression, and therefore, as Sergei Gorshkov sang along to him, it is alien to the Soviet naval doctrine. So it turns out that the main striking force of our fleet goes under water. Guilty - immersed.
    - By the way, the USSR built the same aircraft-carrying cruisers, so I realize that it will come to them, now we focus on the submarine fleet (a deterrent) and the protection of the water area (corvettes, frigates), but are we planning to destroy the destroyer? We will design and build, we will build their time and ships of rank 1 and 2 in sufficient quantity to scare the natives and geyropecsev later.

    How many copies were broken, and again about the same thing! Dear Alexander Nikolsky seriously believes that only submarines will go to destroy the AUG? It is really impossible to break through the AUG perimeter if you use any one component of the fleet. A couple of "Peter the Great", maximum, can scare and demolish a couple of escort ships. A couple of "loaves" can do the same, no more. The Tu-22M3 regiment will probably demolish all Arleigh Burkeys, but it will remain there itself.
    AUG is a complex combat complex. Aircraft carrier itself, security ships, escort submarines. All this controls a zone with a radius of 600 km. And only a comprehensive attack, with distracting maneuvers, an ambush and a massive salvo (or even two or three waves) can destroy the AUG.
    In reality, having determined the location of the AUG, it will simply be destroyed and put out of action with a pair of tactical nuclear charges. No Aegis will hit the warheads of Topol and Yars. This is the best option.

        YES, but I hardly believe in the exact hit of a ballistic missile in a moving target. The warhead speeds are huge, the number of warheads is limited, per millisecond maneuver. Although if it gets ... avik will thoroughly flash how to drink, even explosives are not needed.

        Actually, the Chinese are taking an example from us. In the USSR, back in 1975, the D-1 complex with the R-5K (27K-4) missile with a launch range of 18 km was adopted (albeit only 1100 submarine). The missile had a non-nuclear warhead with an optical or radar seeker. By the end of the 80s, it was planned to adopt a similar version of the Pioneer rocket.

          Forgive me, but it was ugly from the beginning to assert that the aircraft carriers are not in our doctrine and, in general, everyone in the USSR allegedly abandoned them, but to assert that the TAVRK is a half-breed, the TAVRK project 1143.7 Ulyanovsk, planned for construction in the USSR, had an aviation group of 70 units. "Varyag" -60, it is less than the "supercarrier" of the United States with 120, but a more versatile unit carrying 16 SCRC, for example, on "Peter the Great" 20KRC. So imagine this tandem entering the Mediterranean Sea, an ideal weapon for regional conflicts.

For example, on a springboard, bobsleigh, skilleton tracks, biathlon tracks and shooting ranges, the operation of these complex technical facilities in the conditions of the subtropics is not cost-effective, holding international competitions once a year will only increase costs. Now about theoretically cost-effective Olympic facilities - the ski slopes of Krasnaya Polyana, the operating conditions are temporary - 81 days a year, snow cover in Krasnaya Polyana (http://sochi.meteoinfo.ru/climate#54), I think for months to guess, the question is what is the point I have to go there from Moscow or St. Petersburg at a room rate for 1 person from $ 70 per day, I'm sorry In the Alps, Tatras, where you can fly anywhere. The number of people visiting ski slopes in Sochi will not increase, who will fly in Sochi and who will not fly will not, what kind of profit increase are we talking about? Sochi does not have a hockey team; the ice palace will at best become a platform, now there are 2 ice arenas for games in the summer, and these facilities will be able to bring money to the Kirkorov, Galkin, Mikhailov, God forbid that they had enough tax to maintain the palaces the remaining half a year.

      Finally, following Putin’s visit, an act will be signed to transfer Vietnam to the first of six Varshavyanka Project 636 diesel-electric submarines. It will go into service with the Vietnamese Navy. The amount of the contract is about $ 2 billion. In addition, the SRV will receive from the Russian Federation in 2016 and 2017 two new patrol ships, the Cheetah-3.9. Earlier, Vietnam had already purchased two Cheetahs for its navy.
      The submarine will be delivered to the Vietnamese port of Camran at the end of December. A base will be created for the maintenance and repair of submarines. One part of the port will be used for military-technical purposes, the other for the implementation of business projects, the President of Vietnam said during his visit to Moscow.
      “In fact, we are talking about the return of the Russian fleet to Kamran after a 10-year hiatus, although the Vietnamese authorities prefer allegories so as not to provoke a surge of emotions in the United States or China,” says Vladimir Kolotov, head of the Department of History of Far Eastern Countries at St. Petersburg State University.
      During the Cold War, Camran was in the forefront of the military confrontation between the USSR and the USA. During the Vietnam War, the port was the rear base of the United States. In 1979, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam transferred Kamran to the USSR for a period of 25 years for use as a logistics point of the Soviet Navy at no cost. Later, Hanoi demanded to pay annually $ 300 million for the rental base. Moscow refused, and in 2002 the Russian military left Kamran.
      Experts unequivocally connect the order for the construction of six submarines in Russia and the return of the Russian military to Kamran with the territorial claims of China on a part of the islands of the Spratly archipelago and the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. In the early 1990s, oil and gas were found on the coral islands of Spratly and Paracela. Since then, Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia have disputed their right to use them. Some of these countries raised their national flags on the disputed islands. But a particularly tough territorial conflict is developing between Vietnam and China. It has repeatedly come to armed clashes.
      SRV is in dire need of Russia as a counterweight to China, says Ilya Usov, a senior fellow at the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies. In addition, based in Kamran will allow Russia to monitor in strategically important areas of Southeast Asia, in particular in the South China Sea. “Selling submarines to Vietnam is a defense of Russian and Vietnamese investments,” adds Kolotov. The sale of submarines will partly restore a disturbed balance of power in Southeast Asia. “Russia, like China, is not interested in destabilization in this region, and the strengthening of military power will help sober up hotheads in Beijing,” Kolotov said.

      Vietnam’s entry into the free trade zone with the Customs Union is more of a geopolitical game, Usov said. “The turnover between Russia and Vietnam is scanty, such an alliance will not cause harm, and moral dividends are possible. Russia shows the whole world that it is in the wake of the global trend - it is deepening economic integration, ”says Usov. The Russian Federation will expand its sales through SRV, enter Vietnam through the free trade zone market of ten countries - ASEAN members and China, which is 2 billion consumers, Kolotov explains.

    Some kind of crazy calculations ... what is it worth
    It also follows that the sinking of an American aircraft carrier required up to 30 hits of Granit missiles, or 10–12 to incapacitate it.

    In order to disable an aircraft carrier, 1-2 pieces are enough, guaranteed destruction of 4-5 pieces.
    At the expense of operating costs, compare the content of 5000 people with 100 (+ 100 reserves) of nuclear submarines. In addition, fuel for the air group, the cost of operating the entire wing. I can write until the evening, but lunch is short. laughing

    The article put a minus, because It is based on pure performance characteristics of complexes and runs counter to practice.
    But practice is not grateful.
    For example, the phrase that to defeat an aircraft carrier needs 5-6 onyxes. And what. if onisk gets into the annex or even better into the control room? or does the author think that the Yankees sitting in their pepelats without batting will continue to water our 885 of all the guns?
    the case was particularly evident when the phalanx with or tikanderogi, or the berka flashed the British (if I am not mistaken) frigate. This case was almost point blank.
    It is extremely stupid to draw conclusions and calculate something without real facts of application. If we proceed from the theory of the use of weapons, then the war would take place with lightning speed. Several fleets sailed against each other, in 80 seconds they spit out all the ammunition, got onto boats from the wrecked ships and sailed home! Of course it’s wildly exaggerated, but I’m sure that on a global scale this article looks no less ridiculous.
    I always remember the coolest over-secret armor of Chopham ... it seems like there was a case when the latest challenger sentenced RPG-7 to the forehead. RPG - 7 .. yes yes ...
    so the theory remains on paper and no more ... it is good for submitting an application to Congress for the next budget cut by building new ships!
    And again, all this nonsense with the destruction of our anti-ship missiles may have looked a little plausible, given that we say the whole AUG unit is knowingly informed of an impending attack, all the fu-18s are in the air, MK41 is in salvo state, etc. etc. If the intentions of the attack are revealed, then it can obviously be considered a failure.
    Again, no one will fight the Yankees in the open sea. This is obviously pointless. they are a sea power and their fleet has always been their pride and main power. And near the coast, no one canceled naval aviation, coastal anti-ship systems, saboteurs, etc. At one time, the Amer general proved that the AUG is a floating disaster, when the forces of boats and saboteurs sank a rural compound.
    P.S. by the way, it’s almost impossible to raise all the links of the aircraft: until the last one takes off, the first hornet will need refueling ... shorter beard !!!

    Now we summarize the number of Onyxes needed to incapacitate an aircraft carrier: 25 + the number brought down by an air patrol, 22 + the number brought down by security ships (260), total: 307. Therefore, for a guaranteed incapacitation of an aircraft carrier from the AUG, it is necessary joint salvo 10 APRK project 855.

    Maybe the calculations are correct, but why aim all the missiles at the aircraft carrier? Probably in a real situation, the first missiles will hit the air defense and anti-aircraft defense ships, to disable them it will be enough to hit 1-2 Onyxes on the ship, and the next ones will go to the aircraft carrier through a weakened grouping of escort ships.

      As I understand it - the whole chip in the salvo, if exaggerated then launching one at a time, not a single one will fly, and in the salvo, including, targets may be guarding ships. For guaranteed defeat, only the guard needs the same number of missiles.

        12 November 2013 15: 52
        Let’s take the author’s calculations conditionally as true (25 hits of Onyxes in an aircraft carrier for incapacitation), then to defeat an aircraft carrier, taking into account downed missiles, according to the author’s calculations, a salvo of 307 Onyxes is needed.
        To disable air defense and anti-aircraft defense ships, it is necessary to break through only 5-10 missiles, which is significantly less.
        This is of course a purely hypothetical calculation, but the advisability of targeting the first wave or the first missiles in a salvo specifically to the guarding ships is quite logical. Moreover, for the suppression of air defense and anti-aircraft defense by the ship, it is possible to use the entire variety of delivery vehicles and the variety of the means themselves, which increases the chances of neutralizing and destroying the entire AUG.

In reality (God forbid!) The air defense and anti-aircraft defense will be suppressed, respectively, the above calculations are incorrect.
        And my personal opinion is that no American AHG can threaten Russia in any way, Russia is a continental country, well, not into the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea, and therefore I don’t see a special need to fight them. The local war between America and Russia is absolutely ruled out, and aircraft carriers are weapons of local wars.

        It seems that Pakistan has nothing to do with it, because it is significantly removed from the coast of the Indian Ocean.

        Also in India there is its own program for the construction of an aircraft carrier, although it faces a huge number of technical problems. And so with the acquisition of Vikramaditya, both the operation of the ship will be worked out, as well as part of the experience will be adopted for the further commissioning of their ships.

    If you create an aircraft carrier, then only for the Pacific Fleet. In the Black and Baltic Seas it will be just crowded. An aircraft carrier is not needed in the Northern Fleet. The purpose of an aircraft carrier is to be an ocean ship. Also missed another point. Helicopter carriers were manufactured in the USSR, and a naval helicopter, using modern technology, although it cannot be compared with a military fighter jet, it can also be used for fire support of naval assault and as an anti-submarine hunter.

    “At present, the Russian Federation does not have an enterprise dedicated to the construction of aircraft carriers, there is no technology, there is no system of agents and contractors, and finally, there is no funds to create giant ships. Russia, which considers itself a maritime power, is not able to modernize even one aircraft carrier , not to mention the construction of an aircraft carrier division.
    Our American partners are convinced that the aircraft carrier must live several lives, going through a certain period of time, repair and modernization. Across the ocean, it is believed that it is economically more profitable for a country to upgrade old ships than to build new ones. In the United States they know how to count money. The oldest US aircraft carrier was in the combat structure of the fleet for about 50 years. During this time he went through four upgrades.
    "Vikramanditiya", aka "Admiral Gorshkov", aka "Baku", as a mirror of the modern shipbuilding industry in Russia, gave an answer to those who, in a Manilov way, are making plans for the quick creation of an aircraft carrier formation: guys, it's too early. We have some strength, but, alas, it is not enough for the construction of such goliaths as an aircraft carrier. This, in fact, proves to us the fate of "Gorshkov." "Vladimir Gundarov." Independent Military Review "
    I myself am for aircraft carriers, by the nature of my service I had to visit all TAVKRs, except for "Minsk", but unfortunately, thanks to the "far-sighted policy" of the leaders in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Russia lost almost 50% of its shipbuilding industry, everything went to Ukraine. Our Slavic brothers were not able to wisely dispose of the shipbuilding giants that they inherited, as a result of which all the technologies for building ships of this class were lost. The version of the modernization of "Gorshkov" almost ended in a scandal and the loss of a strategic partner in the person of India. It is sad to say about it, but we are not yet ripe, it is easy to destroy, but it is more difficult to restore. The submariner himself, 20 years directly on the "iron", with the "Kuznetsov" passed all the tests, I think that we just need ships of the ocean class, and first of all at the Pacific Fleet, but we do not pull in life ...

    What enchanting nonsense! I even read it to the end, because it’s a masterpiece!

    About anti-ship missiles and missiles - this is not discussed, because the topic of "Granit" versus "Aegis" is a holivar.
    But I would like to ask a question: what will our AUG be used to shoot at Nimitz? By plane? Oh, rockets? Well, what difference does it make from where this Onyx starts, from an airplane or from a nuclear submarine? If he so famously gets lost in everything? :)

    Further, where did the author come up with a method for comparing the price of a serial submarine missile carrier with a non-existent aircraft carrier, even in the project? For reference, the new US aircraft carrier cost $2,4 billion and $8,1 billion to design and build, respectively. And that’s 10,5 yards.

    It’s strange that the author is not aware that deck-based versions of domestic aircraft are AT ALL not the same as coastal ones. For starters, they have folding wings, reinforced landing gear, and the list goes on... But that's half the trouble. Where is the author going to get a carrier-based AWACS aircraft?

    And it is not at all clear why the author does not know which technologies are not yet available to Russia for the construction of aircraft carriers.
    For example, Russia does not (and the USSR did not have) a steam catapult. Alas. :)

    And yes, by the way, there are not 5, but 10 ships in the Nimitz order. And in a reinforced force there are up to 20. And this does not take into account support vessels.

    As I understand it, for us aircraft carriers are an opportunity to create a “presence effect” in order to cool down some hotheads and 3-4 pieces would be enough for us to do this. But these would have to be modern means and not just a big trough, but this is where the problems begin. A complex and expensive infrastructure for support and support and probably the most difficult control system for us, which requires the latest technologies and where we are 20 years behind, if not more, and where the Americans are beyond competition. What's in reality? There is practically no money and opportunities, our big heads themselves don’t know exactly how this crap can fit into their doctrines, even if they do, it won’t work out like with Energia and Buran, they created the complex, but there was nothing to put into orbit except tractors. And most importantly, time. Given those world confrontations and upheavals, it’s not without reason (after all, it looks like we still have living analysts) that all the main projects and decisions are brought to the year 20, it looks like there will be a mess, and will be in the next few years, so AUG is really unattainable for us .

We need engines with an anti-gravity component. That is, aircraft that do not need aircraft carriers. And they can be based on any tanker or container ship. Just to sit on the deck)). The second is the development of submarines. Science fiction writers have already repeatedly described that submarines will be able to fly normally into space. Considering the statistics. So it will be. Therefore, instead of chasing the dog’s tail, laying down an unnecessary aircraft carrier, it is more profitable to get ahead of the enemy and develop an engine with an anti-gravity component. Moreover, according to the same science fiction writers, such an engine was developed in Russia.

    Our doctrine is defensive in nature. We do not need an airfield off the coast of others to conduct defense. AUG is good if you go to capture coastal states. We don’t need someone else!
    Maybe we need an AUG... but it’s preferable in a large-scale war - a nuclear submarine

    I completely agree with the comment - destroying an aircraft carrier by attacking it with submarines is 100 percent nuclear war - and it doesn’t matter whether you destroyed the aircraft carrier or not - the survivors will envy the dead (no need to chase and look with envy at the states, we need to build a strong modern fleet that will solve emerging regional threats and prevent them with its existence - we are not going to become the world's policemen.

    The main and most powerful weapon of the Cruisers is the unique P-700 Granit missile system. The development of this long-range missile was carried out at OKB-52 since 1969, tests began in November 1975, and were completed only in August 1983. ZM-45 missile (nuclear 500 kt or high-explosive warhead 750 kg) for surface and underwater launch has a KR-93 sustainer turbojet engine with a ring solid fuel accelerator, giving supersonic speed and a range of up to 550 km (by the way, 100 km further than the anti-ship Tomahawk). This complex implements the “fire and forget” principle, the anti-ship missile is autonomous throughout the flight due to the inertial guidance system with the inclusion of an active homing head at the final section, has a multi-variant program for attacking group targets (“flock”) and increased noise immunity. The launch weight of the Granit is 6980 kg, which, by the way, includes the weight of the warhead armor and the weight of the reinforced rudders and wings. In fact it is. the same unmanned aircraft (length - 10,5 m, diameter - 0,88 m, wingspan - 2,6 m).

    The combat use of the complex in a nutshell is as follows: after a salvo, the missiles line up one after another and “silently”, at low altitude, at a speed of 1600 km/h, rush towards the target, adjusting the direction, for example, according to the operation of the enemy’s radar. Any parameters of the physical fields of any potential enemy, down to the silhouette, can be stored in the memory of the on-board computer, which allows Granit not to be distracted by interference. A maximum of two, or even only one, target mark may appear on the radars of anti-aircraft systems (one of the missiles, the control missile, goes above the others and corrects their flight, and if it is shot down, the next one takes its place). Confident of this, the air defense system operators will issue a control center. What will it be like for them when, on approach, the missiles turn on homing, fly out like a fan, increase speed and crash into the sides of the ships. Eyewitnesses tell of the colossal destruction this missile causes to its targets, cutting them off with a powerful dynamic blow. By the way, several missiles can be aimed at a large target such as an aircraft carrier (classification and decision-making is made on the fly). Today, no country in the world has the means to combat Granit missiles. Frightened by the deployment of this system, the Americans began to abandon concentrated orders, take a more strict approach to radio silence, and use the radar in a passive mode (“receive”), illuminating targets from aircraft.

    Is it a custom article, I can’t understand? It’s still elementary. To build aircraft carriers (even Kuzya-like ones), you need support-escort-reconnaissance-air defense ships. Arlie Burke, no matter what their shortcomings, are, in principle, unified and capable of performing all these tasks, well, except for support, of course. Further. In order to hypothetically use domestically produced AUGs (if they existed) and again, hypothetically fight with the United States, you need large landing craft and not those that are available, maybe the author forgot, but the war is won by the infantryman and not by the ship-plane - ICBMs. And for the caravan of these large landing craft to reach the US coast, we again need an escort ship, first of all, with strong air defense. Further. As the Russian Federation has already noted above, it is best to modernize the defense because, thank God, ICBMs guarantee us 100% destruction of an obviously weak enemy located on the other continent, or mutual destruction of an equal or stronger enemy (because by the way, China will never attack the Russian Federation, this is true) as an option. Because what is being done now is optimal in the conditions of a collapsed military-industrial complex and weapons research institute, namely the modernization of missile defense capable of shooting down planes - ICBM blocks development - change of fighter aircraft fleet, again primarily as a missile defense system and the construction of a submarine fleet. And what do we see in the end? Yes, bare facts. Reduction of the army? It’s high time to reduce it. A combat-ready, fully equipped 400-strong army will completely solve the problems of local conflicts, and there will no longer be global wars using multimillion-dollar armies, since this is an ideal target for nuclear weapons. An insanely strong fleet is also not particularly needed, it’s enough just to update or modernize existing ships. Therefore, you should not look angrily and enviously at the US Army and Navy. If you think like that, they are unhappy and insulted. So much effort and so much money is being pumped into the US armed forces, but if they take the Russian Federation, they can’t do anything. Well, the AUG them Well, there are bases all around and for God’s sake they will eventually be torn in any case. And the policy towards the RF Armed Forces, although it has flaws, is generally correct.

    The most I understood from this article is that the author is an ardent fan of aircraft carriers and he has SUCH A MESS in his head... The author can at least decide:? Are we going to attack or defend? Aircraft carriers are offensive weapons. The author, as it seems to him, has not weakly gone over the Navy’s strategy for destroying the enemy’s AUG. OK. “Shortcomings” have been discovered, ridiculed... What next? Where is the recipe for fighting AUG? The author insists that we need an aircraft carrier(s)? Did I understand correctly, an AIRCRAFT CARRIER (more precisely, not like our TAKKR, but an aircraft carrier) is a panacea for the enemy’s AUG? Is the author proposing to enter into a frantic trillion-dollar arms race by building aircraft carriers to fight aircraft carriers? Did I hear right? To kill, kill existing nuclear submarine programs and waste trillions on this matter? Why trillions? Yes, because, as the author correctly wrote, the threat is not the floating airfield itself, but the AUG, which includes, in addition to, for example, the Nimits, a dozen warships.
    We will also have to build them, just build them, the “retraining” of existing warships will not be enough to protect an aircraft-carrying cruiser and it will turn into a large floating target without cover ships. The strength of Orliks ​​and Ticks lies precisely in the Aegis system, capable of... well, killing everything and everyone (debatable, but I’m just paraphrasing the author). The author himself writes that we do not have an analogue of Aegis (also debatable, but that’s not what we’re talking about).
    ...It follows that instead of 10 APRCs, Russia can build five full-fledged aircraft carriers and form five AUGs out of them.
    How did the author form 5 AUGs from existing warships, and on what principle did he calculate combat effectiveness??? Did you poke your finger?
    It is necessary to reduce the order for land versions of the MiG-29, Su-35, T-50 and introduce an order for ship versions.
    Not funny. Our longest sea border is beyond the Arctic Circle. Black Sea and Baltic? The lack of room for maneuver will turn the AUG into an excellent target. Pacific Ocean? Agree. But for defense it is easier to use the existing infrastructure (restore the old one) than to have 2-3 aircraft carriers (up to 100 combat aircraft) with the risk of losing them after the first naval battle... And our land borders are “a little longer”, and there are new aircraft there wherever it is more necessary.
    And since we don’t have new technologies yet, an aircraft carrier from the 90s will do, the main thing is that the T-50 can be based on it, the rest is husk.

    This “husk” turns the floating airfield into a defenseless target, and the T-50s will not protect it “by themselves”...
    Four AUGs equal 250–270 multirole fighters. This amount is enough to gain air supremacy over most countries in the world. Only a limited circle of great countries and Israel can not be afraid of such power.

    Again, based on what mathematics it turned out to be 250-270 aircraft, this time, secondly, for Iraq the USA and Co needed 2000 aircraft... and here there are 250 with limited ammunition and... who are we going to attack again? And to concentrate 4 AUGs in one place means leaving the rest of the fleets without ships...
    In general, boats, planes were mixed together... The author simply jumped from the real-life problem “The Navy is not able to fight against the enemy’s AUG” to the problem: “I wish we could also have our own AUG.” Then, it turns out that the first topic is not fully disclosed, there is an obstruction, but there is no recipe, and the second topic... is simply from the area of ​​“I want, it seems to me.”(

    By the way, the nuclear submarine has one very valuable advantage that the AUG does not have - it is secrecy... As they say, fear has big eyes and a potential enemy can look for a boat where there is no sign of it - but nevertheless this will keep him in suspense.. .
    And AUGs are clearly visible from a satellite, from a reconnaissance aircraft, their visits to ports are perfectly monitored by various kinds of saboteurs and informants... And I think that if we assume that an AUG will appear in Russia tomorrow, then it will be under round-the-clock surveillance of potential friends...
    It turns out that one “Arleigh Burke” will release 80 “Standards-2” and with a probability of defeat of 0,7 (example average 0,65) will shoot down 52 “Onyx”. How many “Arly Berks” are there in the AUG? The US Navy's AUG usually includes 5-6 Ticonderogas and Arleigh Berks. This means that we will assume that there are 5 Arly Berkov AUGs in the attacked group. If the attack is carried out from a distance of 100 km, that is, at low altitude, and from one direction, then only 3 “Arly Burke” will be able to take part in repelling the attack. In this case, the security ships will shoot down 156 Onyxes.

    It seems as if the author of the article returned yesterday from US Navy exercises and he knows most of the secret information on Russian and American missile weapons... Let me remind you that the Americans at one time very much praised their Patriots, but the real war showed that they are not entirely effective against even the old ones Skadov... And after the 1st Iraq War, they somehow suddenly became modest... I don’t think that the Americans will dare to test the quality of their ship’s air defense in a real clash with Russian anti-ship missiles!!!

    I don’t know much about shelling ships or AUGs - but in the event of a major conflict between superpowers, this will be a guaranteed use of nuclear weapons. What prevents, during a salvo from a submarine, from firing 1 missile with a nuclear warhead and intending to detonate it, for example, at a distance of 100 km, a minute later another ode and detonation, for example, 50 km and further... Several missiles and no electronics and aircraft in the air . Then, what is called a control salvo by the remaining missile launchers against the aircraft carrier and escort ships. Is this scenario real?

      and their missiles will fly through this cloud, quietly to the smell of crap pants, but seriously, the AUG fires 5 missiles in the azimuth of your nuclear explosions with a chemical quickly burning reagent at an altitude of 12,575 meters and a buoy with a radio fuse, when the missile passes through a sprayed suspension the radio fuse goes off, the fuse is ignited, bang - the mixture instantly burns out, the atmospheric column presses all the missiles into the water, there is no EMP from your explosions and all the missiles, and now the torpedoes are intercepted again.

Without aircraft carriers, we will somehow be able to survive for some time. And there’s no way without ships being built.

  65. -1
    13 November 2013 09: 58
    The author based all calculations on the head-on confrontation between the AUG and the nuclear submarine. First, let's look at the tripod.
    1. In a head-on collision of Onyx-type missiles and AUG air defense, the author presents anti-ship missiles as ideal targets for air defense, without even taking into account the probability of hitting a target with a Standard-1,2,3 missile. But even without these minor shortcomings, I want to note that the presence of a jammer on at least one Onyx missile or simply the release of a nuclear submarine buoy with a jammer immediately turns the entire AUG air defense system from 100 channels into one channel until the jammer is destroyed, and There can be hundreds of thrown jammers and the carriers for them can be any. In the trailer, this is a classic mistake of air defense specialists who rely on multi-channel and forget about electronic warfare systems, as if they were in a shooting range at a training ground.
    2. Let's try to count again. The new US aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford was recently launched, but its cost is already 22% higher than planned and amounts to almost $13 billion. The budget of the British aircraft carrier under construction also exceeds $10 billion, although it is considered one of the cheapest technological solutions. Add to this the modernization of the enterprise for the construction of a single aircraft carrier, the creation of coastal infrastructure, aviation (which you so impolitely took away from territorial defense), combat security, in which more than half of the TF will be involved, and you can safely multiply this amount by 2.
    Thus, the difference with nuclear submarines is tens of times. And most importantly, it is completely unclear how in a fantastic way one Russian aircraft carrier will be able to withstand 10 American ones?
    3. It is completely unclear what kind of technological breakthrough we can talk about. Do you really think that some kind of specific weapon is being developed for aircraft carriers? Its main weapon is carrier-based aircraft. Moreover, it is far from all-weather, unlike the same Onyx-type anti-ship missiles, strategic aviation and submarines. What kind of strategic advantage can we talk about if an average storm of 7 points or a wind of more than 10 m/s is enough for this entire super expensive colossus to turn into a useless floating barge.

By your logic, why are they, why are BDKs, hovercrafts? “Peter the Great” is the only warrior in the field, and the rest of the surface fleet is not needed “it will stop the AUG and enter the burning bay.” An aircraft carrier or TAVRK is just a tool and it’s better to have it than a bunch of rubbish that the country doesn’t need in Sochi, maids and waiters will save Russia, ice-filling machine operators are the pride of the Fatherland. We won’t start building in the coming years, and there are no plans until 2020.

    The author is engaged in finger sucking and nothing less. He doesn’t have the slightest idea about the real combat capabilities of the types of weapons they are considering from different sides. And I’ve probably never even heard about how it was already used in battle.

    All the numbers in this article are made up from thin air and are not even remotely similar to the real capabilities of the weapon.

    There was once an article “The Killing Truth”. And they asked me to comment a little on it. The result was like this: http://sovpl.forum24.ru/?1-1-0-00000409-000-0-0

    In general, everyone should stop showing off their stupidity and describing the American superweapon. The United States has never had it and cannot have it. They haven't invented another physics yet. If we are to describe the capabilities of a weapon, then rely on knowledge of its combat use, if this has already happened. And Aegis had it.

    A country with strong modern air defense, fleet and coastal defense is not afraid of any AUG. And such missiles as “Granit”, “Onyx”, “Yakhont” were not created by fools, they are designed to break through the guards of an aircraft carrier and destroy it. These missiles fly along a trajectory that is difficult to predict, which creates difficulties for their interception and destruction. And then, who said that in battle the enemy, having fired these missiles, will not use all kinds of interference using electronic warfare equipment, affecting radars and fire guidance systems, thereby creating additional difficulties in destroying "Granit" or "Onyx"? Since air missile carriers will play the main role in destroying the AUG, the first flight of aircraft will fire a series of conventional missiles at the guard ships, forcing the enemy to spend ammunition on their destruction. And the second link will attack with air-launched “Granites” and “Onyxes” for destruction, when there is nothing to respond with. This is exactly how Soviet military leaders hoped to destroy aircraft carriers.

    you just need to stop considering yourself smarter than the amers and think of an aircraft carrier as a ship, and not a miracle wunderwaffle, as many try to do and then refute their own statements attributed to supporters of aircraft carriers with pleasure and reasoned reasons, enjoying their own intelligence and grace). The facts are that an aircraft carrier is a long and powerful arm of a formation of ships and is capable of performing a huge range of tasks, from reconnaissance and over-the-horizon target designation and guidance, to powerful strikes on anyone for many days and search with the destruction of submarines. Of course, he needs escort ships, but who fights alone? Now Russia prefers to build simply escort ships, without an aircraft carrier, but what will the same "Peter the Great" do against an air raid? Why did the Soviet sailors scream and shout “give us an aircraft carrier!!” Much has been written about this.
    There are a lot of articles and evidence that two 949a submarines cost significantly more than the Kuznetsov, etc. At the same time, the range of tasks of an aircraft carrier is simply incomparable with the submarine 949. I can write a lot, but I’m tired) let it be as it will

    Before designing and building a ship, it is necessary to clearly understand why it is needed based on the tasks facing the fleet. In the United States, an aircraft carrier is a ship of aggression, a lot has already been said about this and there is no point in repeating it. Why then do we need it? I will not make any discovery (our naval commanders formulated the tasks of the domestic aircraft carrier about 20-30 years ago) that it is needed 1. To give combat stability from enemy aircraft to: a) our surface ships; b) our submarines and, first of all, SSBNs during the period of their deployment to deliver a nuclear attack; 2. For mine protection by destroying in the air B-52s with Captor mines on board, with which it is planned to fill, first of all, the Barents Sea and in water areas suitable for the depth of placing these mines. Thus, we need aircraft carriers and are very necessary for gaining supremacy at sea, primarily in the areas where our SSBNs are deployed. I think these tasks for domestic aircraft carriers remain relevant both in the present times and in the future. The ground IAIA and the air defense forces cannot fully cope with these tasks. Of course, our aircraft carrier must carry both strike aircraft and strike missile systems (this will simply get us nowhere, no matter how much we would like it), since a potential enemy will also strive to gain dominance in these same areas. Hence, the type of aircraft is visible, universal in tasks as Air defense and attack aircraft.

    Good day to all. I'm not going to write much, because... and so much has already been written.
    How many people have so many opinions, the taste and color of pencils are different.... Unfortunately, it is no longer up to us to decide how many aircraft carriers and submarines will be in service with our homeland.
    My personal opinion: 2 AUG in the Pacific Fleet and 1 AUG in the Northern Fleet. And not just aircraft carriers, but aircraft-carrying missile cruisers of the Kuznetsov type. Well, each fleet (namely the fleet, and not just the AUG) has 3 TARKAs of the Orlan project (Peter the Great)
    But also launch 40-50 nuclear submarines around the globe. Then it will be a fairy tale :)
