"Vikramaditya" and the prospects for the construction of large carrier-based carriers in Russia

On November 16, 2013, in Severodvinsk, the Sevmash enterprise hosted the ceremony of transferring the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier to India. The flag of the Indian Navy was hoisted on an aircraft carrier. The Indian motto of the ship: “Vikramaditya” - courageous as the sun. ”The first reaction - I want to say“ uh ... ”, take a breath and wipe the sweat from your forehead with your sleeve.“ Vikramaditya ”- the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier modernized at Sevmash already turned into a long-term construction, complicating relations in Russian-Indian military-technical cooperation Work on the “Pot” on the “Sevmash” - as this ship refers to the working people in Severodvinsk, began in 2004 and ended just now - in 2013. Similar pace make you remember realities Arsky fleet Russia before Tsushima, when the battleships and cruisers built at state-owned shipyards for years became obsolete even before they entered service. According to Sergei Chemezov, head of the Russian Technologies State Corporation, workers had to gather workers from all over the country to fulfill the Indian export contract for Sevmash in Severodvinsk. (1)

The design documentation for Vikramaditya had to be redone many times in the Nevsky Design Bureau due to the changing requirements of the customer and due to a lack of understanding of the state of the ship and the required amount of work on it. The initial Russian-Indian contract, signed in 2004, implied the launch of the ship in 2008. However, the timeframe had to be revised, and the initial cost of the ship modernization project rose from $ 974 million to $ 2,2 billion. Scheduled for November 2011, the first exit of the Vikramaditi at sea was postponed to the end of May 2012. The scheduled delivery of the ship of India in December 2012 of the year was delayed for a year due to the float trials that required repair work on the insulation of the boilers of the propulsion system. Apparently, the total amount of contracts related to the aircraft carrier - this includes purchases of aircraft and the construction of a berth in Mumbai, a simulator in Goa - cost India $ 5 billion.

A major event in the military-technical cooperation of Russia and India gathered in Severodvinsk last Saturday two delegations: the Russian one, headed by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Military Industrial Commission under the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin, and India headed by the Minister of Defense of India Arakkarambil Kurian Anthony. The ceremony was attended by Indian Ambassador to Russia Ajay Malhotra, Chief of Staff of the Indian Navy Admiral Devendra Joshi, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Admiral Viktor Chirkov, Commander of the Northern Fleet Admiral Vladimir Korolev, new head of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) Vladimir Shmakov, Deputy General Director of Rosoboronexport OJSC "Viktor Komardin, Governor of the Arkhangelsk Region Igor Orlov. The act of transfer of the ship was signed: from the Russian side - Deputy General Director of Rosoboronexport Igor Sevastyanov, from the Indian side - Commander of the aircraft carrier Commodore Suraj Berri.

Vikramaditya will leave the mooring wall of Sevmash at the end of November. At the time of transition from Severodvinsk to India, a team of factory specialists and contractors in the number of 183 people will be seconded to the crew. For the base of the aircraft carrier, the infrastructure was created at the naval base of the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay). Estimated life of the ship - 30 years. The Indian Navy plans to use the frigates of the Russian construction of the 11356 project and the frigates of the Indian construction of the 17 project based on them as the Vikramadithi escort.

At the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, in particular, said: “For our country, this event is a demonstration of the ability to build warships of this class. After many years, we were able to restore our industry’s competence in building aircraft carriers.” (2) However, we note "Vikramaditya" still was not built in Severodvinsk. Built in the USSR by the Black Sea Shipbuilding Plant and launched in Nikolaev in 1982, introduced into the Soviet fleet in 1988, the Baku TAKR (from Adventum Gorshkov’s 1990) managed to actively serve in the Northern Fleet until 1994. In July, the 1999 of the year, the aircraft-carrying cruiser was towed to Severodvinsk to undergo a deep modernization commissioned by the Indian Navy. The Russian-Indian agreement signed in January of 2004 only provided for the restoration and deep modernization of Admiral Gorshkov, renamed Vikramaditya. Vikramaditya was modernized in Severodvinsk. Now in the ship’s museum there is a stand with the layout of the ship, in which the areas of the ship that have undergone modernization are marked in green.

Already after the signing ceremony, a clarification from Rogozin followed: “We have shown that we can make such ships. But this is a matter of making a political decision. So far we have no need for a ship of this class.” (3) "and" geopolitics ", the statement of the Russian Deputy Prime Minister draws a line using the dot method under the discussions that have periodically appeared in the Russian media after 2008 about the construction of large deck carrier carriers in Russia. After the statement by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at the Valdai forum of September of this year about the possible rejection of the Bulava (2012) solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile of the sea-based missile 4, this is the second recognition of the Russian military-industrial complex in the naval sector . The statements of recent years that modern Russia has the potential to design and build large aircraft carriers are overly optimistic. True, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov promises that it will be possible to return to the program of building aircraft carriers in Russia in 15-25 years. Obviously, without a large-scale reconstruction of Russian industry, actual new industrialization, the construction of a next-generation heavy aircraft carrier in Russia can be forgotten. Domestic shipbuilding should focus on the implementation of the current program of military shipbuilding, "Sevmash", in particular, to continue work in its traditional niche - to build submarines with nuclear reactors.

Now it remains only to recall that only for the period from 2007 to 2012, the views on the prospective construction of aircraft carriers in Russia were twice reversed. The existence of plans for the construction of aircraft carriers was announced by the former Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov. However, funding for the construction of aircraft carriers by the state arms program of Russia for 2011-2020 was not provided. In July 2010, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky, announced the prospect of deploying five or six new Russian aircraft carriers in the Pacific and Northern Fleets. On February 9, 2012, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Vladimir Vysotsky said that the technical design of the new aircraft carrier would be developed before 2014, and the ship itself would be built after 2020. In December 2012, the new Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Viktor Chirkov, confirmed that serial construction of promising aircraft carriers would begin in Russia after 2021. The beginning of the aircraft carrier project in the Russian Federation, it seemed, was marked by the creation of a new deck pilot training center aviation in the village of Morskoy, 10 km from Yeysk. The Krylov State Scientific Center (former Central Research Institute named after Academician A.N. Krylov) even commissioned draft designs for the new Russian aircraft carrier by order of the Ministry of Defense.

In July, 2013, the former commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Felix Gromov, said that Russia should have at least two aircraft carriers with an escort in the Pacific Ocean, and one in the Northern Fleet. Then it was reported that the construction of an aircraft carrier would cost the Russian treasury, including R & D, all in 400 billion rubles. (5) Russian military expert Alexander Khramchikhin looked at this assessment pessimistically. He called the sum of $ 50 billion at the minimum, $ 100 billion at the maximum - that is how the construction of the shipbuilding base, the aircraft carrier itself, the air group and the entire infrastructure of the ship maintenance, plus training can do. (6)

For comparison, the construction of the American head supersurveyor of the new generation "Gerald R. Ford" is estimated at $ 12,3 billion, of which $ 3,3 billion is spent on research and development. It was recently announced that the ship was ready for 70%, but the cost of building the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford had already exceeded the planned one for 22%. The cost of the air group based on Gerald R. Ford, basically consisting of X-Numx-generation F-5 airplanes, will be almost $ 35 billion. In total, more than $ 10 billion is obtained (32)

Two shock aircraft carrier of a new generation - "Queen Elizabeth" and "Prince of Wales" are being built in the UK now. November 7 2013 was announced that their value reached £ 6,2 billion (approx. $ 9 billion), which is £ 2 billion more than the initial estimates, and this does not include the cost of the air group for which F-35B planes are to be purchased from US (8)

Because of the high cost of living, France was forced to freeze the program for building new aircraft carriers such as the Porte-Avions 2. Spain and Italy are forced to limit themselves to the content of modern light aircraft carriers in a single version. (9)

Let us list the existing problems in the construction of aircraft carriers in Russia.

First, it is necessary, in fact, to re-create in St. Petersburg the design bureau of large surface ships. Avianosnaya program will require the design of such a completely unfamiliar device, as the aviation electromagnetic catapult. Planes need a new generation of deck-based aircraft, including a compact carrier-based long-range radar guidance and reconnaissance aircraft. Secondly, in Russia it is necessary to build a new shipyard with a slipway for the construction of 100 ships, thousand tons with a displacement.

Note that the possibilities of Severodvinsk "Sevmash" for the construction of large surface ships are limited. Indeed, Sevmash, at its base, was intended for the construction of "Soviet Union" type battleships with a displacement of 60 thousand tons. However, in practice, in surface shipbuilding everything was limited to Sevmash by the construction of two light cruisers of the 68-bis project Molotovsk (1954) and Murmansk (1955) with a displacement of approx. 17 KT Since the beginning of the 1950-ies, Sevmash has successfully specialized in the construction of submarines, including submarines. The versatility set in the years of perestroika is difficult for Sevmash. One can say that no matter what Sevmash does - tankers, an oil-producing platform, super-yachts, only he gets submarines. At present, Sevmash is focused on the implementation of construction programs for the Norex 955 submarine of the Borey project and the Ash tree 885 project. Under these conditions, Sevmash finds it difficult to split apart between the programs for the construction of submarines and surface ships. If we want to build aircraft carriers on Sevmash, then for this it is necessary to build a new covered boathouse on it. Work on the Vikramaditya method in the open air cannot be effective with frequent frosts in winter in Severodvinsk with low temperatures and normal cold winds blowing from the White Sea. At Sevmash, it will also be necessary to deepen the pool where the ships go down and expand the existing bataport. Of course, a dry dock with the size of 420x100x14 meters needs to be built on the Zvezdochka next to Sevmash, but this is for repairing ships of this class. The estimated cost of building an open dry dock in Severodvinsk is $ 572 million, and a closed $ 750 million. (10) In addition, the project for the construction of two aircraft carriers on Sevmash, announced in 2011, with modular delivery of modules from two other enterprises is guaranteed This means that the project will be more expensive, since the modules will have to be moved from St. Petersburg to Severodvinsk, bypassing Scandinavia. It should be noted that the Baltic Plant, which is currently working on the Mistral project, is developing a method for building large surface ships in sections and then transporting them to the assembly site.

In addition, the program of large surface shipbuilding in Severodvinsk will inevitably raise the personnel problem. The need to attract workers and engineering staff will require additional costs for the construction of additional housing and social services.

In 1990, the American expert of the Center for Defense Information, David Eisenberg, in his work Illusion of Power, called the supercarriers "white elephants" and "paper tigers." (11) In his opinion, the power of these ships is greatly exaggerated, and their cost is devastating for the budget. It is more than likely that the first position of Eisenberg is false. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the current Russian Navy is preferable to seek options for an asymmetric response to the carrier threat of a possible enemy. Obviously, the answer lies in the closer interaction of the Navy with the space grouping, which should provide real-time uninterrupted targeting with exact coordinates of the aircraft carriers of the probable enemy and their escorts moving across the sea. Compact, accurate and intelligent systems weapons, including UAVs and combat Robotsmoving in water and air environments can become an asymmetric response to an aircraft carrier threat. Russia has yet to find new naval strategies adequate to the times.

Now back to the Indian shipbuilding program. (12) Reconstructed under the supervision of the Indians, the Russian Vikramaditya opens a series of three aircraft carriers. 12 August 2013 India launched the next light aircraft carrier, the Wikrant, which is the Vikramaditya cousin, because it was designed using the St. Petersburg Nevsky Design Bureau. Outwardly and in its parameters, "Vikranta" reminds "Vikramadityu." The Indians invited the French, as well as the knowledgeable Italians in light aircraft carriers, to design the Wikranta. Wikrant is equipped with the LM 2500 gas turbine engines in the United States. Wikranta is being built late on schedule, which indicates difficulties. In the summer of 2012, India began work on the third aircraft carrier of the program, the Vishal. It is planned that Vishal will join Wikramaditi and Wikrant at the start of the 2020s. However, "Vishal" will be significantly larger than its predecessors. Its full displacement will be 65 thousand tons, against 40 thousand tons from "Vikramadity" and "Vikranta". In terms of its parameters and appearance, with the springboard on the nose and the lateral take-off deck, the Vishal will resemble the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov. And only after Vishal the Indians will be able to start building their own supercarrier with a nuclear power plant on board, i.e. India will technologically reach the level of the Soviet 1143.7 project - the non-built Soviet heavy aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk.

Similarly, the Indians intend to work with the maritime air group. The Russian MiG-29K will not be the only aircraft capable of being based on Indian aircraft carriers. The Indian Navy plans to receive a deck modification of the Tejas fighter, its own Indian design. In addition, given the planned deliveries to India of 126 french fighters "Rafale", we can not exclude the purchase of the deck version of this machine "Rafale-M", now used in the French aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle".

The aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy already provides India with an overwhelming superiority in terms of the forces over the Pakistan Navy. However, it is obvious that a potential opponent of the Indian aircraft carriers, in fact, are the new aircraft carriers of China. Now India is guaranteed to guarantee itself at least equality, and perhaps even superiority, even if the Chinese Navy, following Liaonin (the former Varyag), will be put into operation two more aircraft carriers based on J-15 aircraft. (13) China spent 10 years rebuilding the Soviet "Varyag" in the aircraft carrier "Liaoning", which is comparable in time with the efforts of "Sevmash" over the Indian "Vikramaditya". The "Liaoning" can become no earlier than 2017 of the year. Now it becomes clear that the transfer by Russia of India of Soviet aircraft-carrying maritime technologies has allowed New Delhi to overtake in the race of aircraft carrying naval armaments of its neighbor and main rival in the region.

    In addition to the listed problems in the construction of aircraft carriers in Russia, one should take into account the modernization and development on the basis of breakthrough technologies of the "Ship-based aircraft carrier radio-technical flight control system, navigation, landing approach for ship-based aircraft". We have created such a system and submitted proposals to the Government on its development. I have devoted my whole life to the creation of this system, starting with aircraft carriers, where vertical take-off aircraft were based. In addition, we gave proposals for future aircraft carriers and aircraft guidance system. The work for our military-industrial complex enterprises will be interesting. Thank God that there are still scientists and specialists who understand how to solve these problems.

      to fulfill the Indian export contract for Sevmash, workers from all over the country had to be gathered in Severodvinsk. (from article)


      We need to really look at the possibilities of the Russian economy.
      The forecast for the development of Russia, made recently by the Ministry of Economic Development Ulyukaev until 2030, does not represent any chance of building aircraft carriers for Russia. Neither due finance, nor production facilities, nor skilled labor resources.
      Therefore, it was necessary, as always, the USSR-Russia did - to look for another option to counter the enemy aircraft carriers, and first of all, to break the fifth column of the enemy in the country so that it would not defeat Russia from the inside, as happened with the USSR.

        Of course, review the results of privatization, introduce confiscation of property. Return 90 billion green rubles / year of exported capital. Then the money should be enough. Yes
        The forecast for the development of Russia made recently by the Ministry of Economic Development Ulyukaev until 2030,

        Land Belarusian. Funny, but not funny! During sea trials, the lining of seven (sic!) Boilers out of eight flew off! Lost technologies for the production of special fireclay refractories. They put the Chinese ones. And - embarrassment! Why does Russia now need such tsatzki like an aircraft carrier? Do what you do best now, and most importantly, cheaper. And the aircraft carrier is for Putin to take a beautiful picture on the command bridge? It turns out that "Peter the Great" has a special cabin - not a single sailor in the world will understand what it is.

            On Thursday, the Moscow City Court passed a verdict on Vasily Midtsev, head of the "Young Eagles of the Fleet" children's patriotic organization, a retired political worker of the Pacific Fleet. He was found guilty of dozens of episodes of pedophilia, some of which took place in Putin's so-called cabin on the Peter the Great nuclear cruiser.
            By the decision of the court, Vasily Midtsev will spend 18 years in a maximum security penal colony, the official website of the capital's GSU SK RF reports.
            Meanwhile, Vasily Midtsev has repeatedly committed violent acts of a sexual nature and lecherous actions against his charges, both in the premises of the club and during trips. Including crimes were committed on the operating missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov, as well as on the heavy nuclear cruiser, the flagship of the Northern Fleet, Peter the Great. Both ships were based in the port of Severomorsk in the Murmansk region, and on them Midtsev committed 17 rapes.
            By the way, the Midtsev club kept a letter of gratitude from the commander of the heavy nuclear cruiser Peter the Great.
            In this entire pedopathic epic, I, the land Belarusan, is interested, if possible, in only one episode: namely, Midtsev’s homoerotic adventures on the Peter the Great nuclear-powered missile cruiser. According to the plot of the prosecution, part of the fornication took place in the presidential apartment of the flagship of the Russian fleet. Pretty boys were dressed up in sailor uniforms, allowed to shoot with military weapons, and then taken to the presidential apartment, where they indulged in the most unbridled group sin. The boys well remembered the luxurious atmosphere of the presidential cabin, its sconces, lamps, brushes, candelabra, etc.
            I have several questions in this regard. The first. Is it advisable to have a luxurious presidential boudoir on the flagship of the Russian fleet? Does President Obama, for example, have a royal suite on the USS George HW Bush or on any of the ten Nimitz-class American nuclear carriers? Vladimir Putin has 26 palaces - only Kim Jong-un has more, is it worth turning a warship into a floating residence with gold toilets? Is this in itself an insult to the Russian fleet?
            The second question. Who else is allowed in there? For example, we know that a gangster, the organizer of the abduction of the son of Kaspersky, an employee of the FSO, Alexei Ustimchuk, was allowed into them. Ustimchuk starred in the presidential chair and uploaded pictures to the network.
            This is what cabin I meant.
            About the second scribbling.

            Earlier, the Russian media, citing the president of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), Andrei Dyachkov, reported that Russian specialists used Chinese bricks to modernize the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier for India.
            Dyachkov explained that during the tests at sea, the fireproof masonry in the boiler furnaces was repaired by alternating the boilers from the operation, but, nevertheless, it again partially collapsed during subsequent trips to high capacities.
            Answering Rogozin's question about what materials were used, Dyachkov said that they were "Chinese-made fireclay bricks." “Unfortunately, the Russian production of these materials has been lost,” the USC president admitted.

              This is what cabin I meant.

              It’s bitter and insulting to read like that. One villain smeared mud on a warship. This is bad!
              BUT WHAT DOES PUTIN'S CABIN HERE HERE? None of the ships of the Russian Navy (according to specification) - THERE IS NO SUCH CABIN! There is a FLAGMAN'S CABIN! It is exactly the same as the commander's cabin, but is designed to accommodate the FORMATION COMMANDER and his superiors while on board the ship. The best in everyday life is the ship's commander's cabin. And by right, to the extent of the responsibility of the ship commander! Guests, and even more so chiefs, are always accommodated in the best cabins. BUT!!! Under no circumstances is the commander's cabin occupied, even by the Supreme Commander of the RF Armed Forces. This is our maritime tradition built into law. Although, out of a sense of respect, the commander always invites the flagship to have his cabin at his discretion. During my 40 years of service in the Navy, I do not remember a case when someone "evicted" the commander from his cabin, even when in other rooms they slept "on their heads." THIS IS THE AXIOM of naval life and service.
              About the flagship cabin. Access to it is the instrument technician and the cabin manager, who carefully monitors the ABSOLUTE! cleanliness and order in it. To get into it without the permission of the ship's commander, by definition, no one can. If this happens, then the instrument technician and the manager will change - immediately. Therefore, I personally see two reasons here: a) the villain was the head of this room, b) the bosses and the competent authorities did not know the situation well.
              But to add the name of the President to this dirty case is "honey and mecca" of PR people from the yellow press. And also spiteful critics (different reasons). It's like calling the White House PUBLIC after the Monica Lewinsky epic. But our groveling pro-Western scribblers keep quiet about this.
              Yes, dirty, ashamed, but what does Putin have to do with it? He has something to criticize for without it, that's just the case, and not like, anyhow to spoil. IMHO.

      We created such a system and made proposals to the Government on its development. I devoted my whole life to the creation of this system, starting with aircraft-carrying ships, where vertical take-off aircraft were based.

      That is the point, that people have devoted their whole lives to the cause of defending their homeland, and a gang of crooks has squandered everything. Look at the facts: today we are losing aircraft carriers, and China and India have armed technology and aircraft carriers themselves. Here is the result. I’m sure that the sale and sawing of Project 1143 ships on nails is connected with their anti-submarine fighting power — this is what the Americans really didn’t want. Therefore, this is the first thing that went on sale.
      The second point: it’s advantageous for the states to arm China, with the subsequent set on us. Which they did through Elzin. Then, they will stay afloat for a very long time.

      3. Where do major repairs take place? There is a true option: in the United States, they beat ...

      My personal opinion:
      - The Russian Navy does not need a heavy aircraft carrier in the form of "Nimitz" at all;
      - according to 2 the lungs of AV protection of the water area in the SF and Pacific Fleet are enough for the eyes, taking into account a possible trip somewhere.
      - Natalia Ivan Khariton Uliana Yakov in Russia will not build an aircraft carrier until at least 2028 year. Who will survive, let him be convinced!

        Moreover, the Russian Federation is part of a system of countries with the United States, China and NATO, and a number of smaller allies. So the system as a whole has U.S. aircraft carriers in the first place, but the role of the Russian Federation in the system is a penal battalion, so heavy weapons are not supposed to be - an infantry priority and that the explosives be behind (for stability).
        It is in this that the priority of international law over Russian is expressed.

        Shit, a question! If the task would be set, they would do it while the hull was being built.
        2. Navy postscript (naturally with all the tricks)?

        Yes, and why the fuck you do not need a home port with moorings: a change of crew at sea, parking on the roads, for that matter, a repair call and docking at the manufacturer.
        My personal opinion:
        - The Russian Navy does not need a heavy aircraft carrier in the form of "Nimitz" at all;

        And what is the fundamental advantage of the lung over the heavy? Many times cheaper?
        We need a full-fledged, atomic 100 thousandth to replace Kuznetsov. If there is a need, build a second, if necessary, then a third. One full-fledged aircraft carrier is needed to preserve the design, production groundwork.
        in Russia they will not build an aircraft carrier until at least 2028. Who will survive, let him be convinced!

        To replace Kuznetsov will be built. Only these figures will be replaced, such as Rogozin. Here is one:

            Exactly. The deck is cut, the catapult is welded. This is a laborious, bad option. In fact, the finished catapult was back in 1986, steam.
            http://topwar.ru/13952-rozhdenie-i-gibel-sedmogo-avianoscakatapulta.html
            If you start building a boathouse now, designing is about two years. During this time, you can determine the mechanism (e / magnetic, steam), the size of the catapult, finishers. And start making. While the hull will be formed, the catapult will be made. There will be delays, problems, coordination, without this in any way. But there will be a result, experience, technology development.
            Maybe the guys from the GRU will try, but the Americans are stealing the catapult in the drawings, who knows? The road will be overpowered by a walker. Yes

                AZB15, I welcome you! I fully share your position on this issue. But Roman, because of a desire to do better, ended up on the site where his competence is not enough. He sincerely (although being mistaken!) Expresses his opinion, which, following the spirit of the site, we must respect, and, if possible, softly and reasonably dissuade him, show the fallacy of his position. Judging by the expressi komenty, you are still a rather young, and therefore impatient colleague. Do not get excited, have patience: not everyone built ships like you, and probably like me, not everyone served them. But for this we communicate in order to better understand each other and the problems discussed at the forum.
                For example, in communicating with Roman, I was most pleased that he explained to me what rpkSN is and why they are generally needed. But this does not mean that I should call him "sickly green", because he served in the Navy for 40 years.

                Well, okay. So first you call the stove-maker, he puts the stove with the pipe, and then you dance from it? Surely not so, provide a hole in the roof under the pipe, and then lay the stove.
                The design takes place in parallel, and when the size is known, the weight is left space for the mechanism. See how gun mounts changed how they cut an extra compartment on the submarine.

The main inconvenience in the roadstead: loading "consumables" and food, but not changing the crew.

              Yes, you are a moroman, my friend! Well, well ... If you talk about the 12-mile zone, and not about the anchorage point, raid boat, and not about the working barkaz, then everything is clear to me with you!
              On the question of "staff". The Main Command of the Navy also has a headquarters, and a chief of staff, and a flagship. And not a single "shtafirka" dares to call these people "staff", because they are all honored sailors. Before getting there, they passed at least the positions of KK (PL), KS, NSh formations. From l-ta, to cap. 1 rank, they all gulped the ship's daring. Over the years, experience and knowledge have been added, they graduated from the academy, but there was no iron health. And then - you need to grow, not a century to pull the ship's strap, you need to free up the place of youth.
              Before being at the headquarters, I served on, (in) iron up to the rank of rank. I have 2 orders for "not very peaceful affairs" and a medal "ZBZ", 2 other medals. Why should I be ashamed? Divisional or flotilla headquarters?
              And he was afraid of silence, when suddenly the operation of the mechanisms, the hum of the servomotors became inaudible ... You open your eyes: it is dark, quiet and the smell of a spindle in the CPU. So, sir, the wrong one was attacked! ("Swim - We Know!" Film Volga-Volga).
              I consider further bickering counter-productive, as I hope we understand each other.

                "And why the fuck is not needed a home port with berths: crew change at sea, parking on the roads, for that matter, calling for repairs and docking at the manufacturer's plant."

                Keyword: "for that matter." Took the phrase out of context, it was a description of the "minimum" option. I wasn't going to joke.

                The plant may take it, ("if there is no grin" to / f- "Elusive Avengers") but who will give him? for that price? The tender, however, must be won.

                You want to save.
                With you, everything is also clear to me, because you sail in shipbuilding, frankly speaking. The fact that cap2 is worthy of respect, but misunderstanding of the situation in shipbuilding does not cancel. Do not see that "Mistral", "SuperJet" is a torpedoing of our production, defense capability. what
                "Moreman" (6 years of pure qualification), as you say, has the rank of a reserve officer, although he did not serve. I didn't have to tszt, in the years of famine. And also built submarines, NK. So you don't have to tell me about docking. I wasn't going to attack, I just wanted to know what you meant. So sir, be healthy. hi

    The article presents a good excursion into the history of the issue. It shows the difficulties that the country will face in the construction of carrier-based carriers, the state of aircraft carrier construction in the world. There is no one (stated in the title of the article) - the prospects for the construction of this type of ships. There can only be one conclusion: we can’t build something similar to the American AVU, we need to look for an antidote on the paths of an asymmetric answer: a) anti-shipborne BR (China, USSR), b) plasma and space grouping (RF; c) battle drones: air and underwater, d ) cyber impact and computer failure, software violation - and so on.
    In the meantime, salvation in the rkkSN and plRK, possibly anti-ship ICBMs.

      There can only be one conclusion: we cannot build something similar to the American ABP, we need to look for an antidote on the paths of an asymmetric answer:

      Can't or don't want to? If from a 40 thousandth helicopter carrier (in fact), they made an almost full-fledged aircraft carrier, then we are able to design and build, a matter of time. But if we do this after 2021, when experts die out, technology is lost, then most likely not. Or it will be much more expensive.
      And the second point: do you think the AUG of our fleet will be able to play a role in the destruction of the AUG SHA and partners? Rather, "Granite", but good torpedoes from submarines. I think the distance "Onyx" is 300 km. no one will let you in.

        100-thousandth, with 4 catapults, electric propulsion and other bells and whistles today - we can not. The reasons are indicated in the article, I will not repeat it. This is - in 1's.
        Secondly, there is such a thing as "political and economic expediency" (how much it will cost and what I will have from this). Therefore, they calculated: 2 years to build, or build a new covered eling, an increase in combat potential, cost, or during the same time to make 10 Boreas using proven technologies - and came to the conclusion: AVU will wait. Therefore, they DO NOT WANT.

        Whether oh! Mistral = avu "Nimitz"? Do we have an analogue of the F-35? Or are 16 Ka-52Ks comparable in combat capabilities to the AVU air wing? Here you are clearly excited. That is, the comparison is, at least, incorrect.

        Well, someone will still survive! But that's not even the point. Our 20th century technologies have long been hopelessly outdated. This is recognized by the shipbuilders themselves. (Expensive, long, costly). Therefore, with the purchase of Mistral, we are also acquiring technologies for the construction of large-capacity ships (not barrels - oil tankers, but SHIPS). Everything new is the lot of young people. This is the one who needs to be taught, and the experience ... yes, it must be carefully stored and passed on. I have been to Yantar many times. So old people don't really believe in computer technology. (How can you believe that you don't fully understand!) On this occasion, I remembered the film "Days of the Zhurbinykh".

          Greetings to Alexander. The fact that now we are not able to do everything is not an argument. India never built, China knew nothing. We have a base, there is a reserve. There will be a team, they will do everything: both catapults and electric propulsion. A state approach is needed.
          Secondly, there is such a thing as "political and economic expediency"
          There is such, but for some reason we have no money. Italians have:
          Cavour - (Italian Cavour (550))
          The aircraft carrier was laid down on July 17, 2001, launched on July 20, 2004, and officially transferred to the Navy on March 27, 2007. Introduced into combat readiness since June 10, 2009.
          We do not have. Where is the money Zin, tszt. request
          Whether oh! Mistral = avu "Nimitz"? Do we have an analogue of the F-35?

          Here you do not understand, I was talking about the aircraft carrier "Baku", our designers have changed his nose. An example of our design school. "Misral" is two times less - 20 thousand tons.
          From Wiki:
          "... the ship's air group was completed, which included 12 Yak-38M attack aircraft, 1-2 twin Yak-38Us, 16 Ka-27PL anti-submarine helicopters, 2 Ka-25PS search and rescue helicopters and 2 Ka-25DTs designators (later they were replaced by Ka- 27PS). "

            Well, someone will still survive!
            Somebody? lol Five years ago I read the research, after 8 years no one will work. Young people mostly go to menagers, in the footsteps of their fathers. Those who are not being taken anywhere, or visitors from Ukraine, for example, go to fitters.

            ... today the average age of an industry employee is 49 years,
            http://www.m-osk.ru/8.html

            Our technology of the 20th century has long been hopelessly outdated. Shipbuilders themselves admit this. (Expensive, long, costly).

            I do not agree. What kind of technology? Is the electrode holder not modern? By the way, our welding is the best in the world. It was not in vain that the Americans were ordering platforms at the NEA in Nakhodka. Sniffed out all went.
            In terms of time, a fresh example with half of Mistral's "sleepy cuckoo": done on time. Another point is tyrannie money. For example: according to the papers in the shop there are new machines, but only the management of the shop knows about it. That's the whole upgrade.
            So old people do not particularly believe in computer technology. (how can one believe that one does not fully understand!)

            Well, after 40, learning at a loss crying , but here at the Admiral, for example, they worked on CAD systems five years ago, mastered nothing — pipe production systems in isometry are drawn, nothing is really complicated: our fitters didn’t see that. One order was made, the second only formed the body, and a 60-year-old alcoholic has already completed half the pipes to the system. He goes into binge from idleness, and this is an isometry. Yes

            So I asked you about this: what did you bring the influence of the AAG in the destruction of the AUG of the enemy to? It is insignificant, as you write:
            "The data obtained showed that in the second option, the increase in the efficiency of solving the problem (in comparison with the first) will be only a few percent,"

            Now there are no questions, here we converge: priority over 949, and so on. As for aviation: one-way flight.
            PS One final question: do you think that the need for an amphibious assault helicopter carrier of the Mistral type is higher than for an anti-submarine helicopter carrier of the Khalzan type, project 1123 or the 1143 that replaced it?

              "The question, of course, is an interesting one!" (C)
              A bit of history... pr 1123 - anti-submarine cruiser, pr 1143 - (insertion board on the platform of the right ladder) "anti-submarine cruiser with aircraft weapons", then "heavy aircraft carrying cruiser", Mistral - (maiden name) landing helicopter carrier, after additional equipment will be (?) aircraft carrier ...
              total: All ships were used as fleet control centers, communication centers, carried aircraft, could land troops by helicopter, and were the core of ship groups.
              Whether the Mistral is better than our aircraft-carrying ships - I don't know. But for sure: we cannot build such a ship in 3 years now. Therefore, we bought the Mistral and will bring it to the state of a normal warship, "capable of standing up for itself." Plus new technologies for the production of thermal imagers. It will be used as a flagship of the formation, capable of landing an MP battalion on an unequipped coast by helicopters (over-the-horizon landing). This issue is especially relevant today for the Far East. Therefore, I do not blame the RF Ministry of Defense for this decision. Time trouble, however! Therefore, we agreed to complete the construction of the "Ukraine" for our fleet. In September 2013, Russia agreed to purchase "Ukraine" for 1 billion rubles. Their corps, our weapons. So it is with Mistral. IMHO.

                What are the planes on the Mistral? For the first time I hear ... A little lame.
                general: All ships were used as fleet control centers, communication centers, carried aircraft, could land troops by helicopter, and were the core of ship groups.

                And the CPU? It can be moved from one ship to another.
                We are talking about the purpose of the ships. "Aircraft carriers" 1143, without aircraft GDP-conventional helicopter carriers, one of the configuration options. But he can: find the submarine and destroy it, use the "Granite" on the AUG and destroy it. Anti-submarine warfare has been pushed back from discussion for today, we are blinded without Project 1143.
                On the Mistral: an over-the-horizon landing by helicopters, in wartime, on an unequipped coast, is a great idea, constantly circulated by the media.
                But ... an unequipped coast does not mean unguarded. A platoon of fighters with a "Needle" and a large-caliber machine gun will nullify the attempt of such a landing. Moreover, as "Mistral" runs less than 20 knots.
                The second option: the same landing against the aborigines in today's peacetime. It is much simpler than the BDK, as it was in the Union.

                But do you have to talk today about the landing, special operations? Obviously not. But the approach of submarines with winged ones to the coast is a must to keep an eye on. This is what I wanted to say.
                I agree about time trouble. Buying a cheap "Ukraine" is good.
                But the point is not in time trouble, in my opinion. The fact is that Mistral, like SuperJet, plays the role of a Trojan horse for our industry.
                At first they spoke of the "SJet" as a Russian victory, a new plane, but they were silent about its 80% foreign filling.
                Take a look, if not difficult, my recent post with a video about "Superjet". There he is called a "cuckoo", which is also rightly noted.

                  The concept "Aircraft carrier" includes the placement on it: aircraft (normal or vertical takeoff), helicopters, UAVs. By which of these criteria cannot the Mistral be called an aircraft-carrying ship? At least helicopters and UAVs will be on it.
                  Another thing is that aircraft carriers are divided into aircraft carriers, helicopter carriers, ships of group and single-based aircraft, permanent and temporary based, etc.

With the expansion of SSBN patrol areas, the removal of ICBM launch lines from our borders, the role of ships like the 1143 decreased. But in the place of SSBNs came submarines with a CRBD on board. But there were no ship forces for the operative opening of the underwater situation. So here you are absolutely right.

                        So use the wealth of knowledge concentrated in these primers!

                        Well, and what primer will explain this:

                        Whether oh! Mistral = avu "Nimitz"? "
                        "In fact" means that Project 1143 without the Yak-38, Yak-141, which are the same "as if not affordable."
                        Who can argue? I said, too broad a concept. Let's be more specific: the aircraft carrier is an aircraft-carrying cruiser, the Mistral is a helicopter carrier, not an aircraft-carrying ferry.
                        The concept of aircraft carrier includes ships from a multi-purpose aircraft carrier to anti-submarine ships with at least one helicopter on board.

                        As for general definitions, I do not mind, but this phrase confused me:
                        Mistral - (maiden name) landing helicopter carrier, after retrofitting will be (?) An aircraft carrier ...

                        In the light of our dialogue, I correctly understood what you mean by the word "retrofitting" - UAV? There are two questions: 1) It is less expensive than making a catapult for AB. 2) Will he build a bunch of helicopters on the Mistral's deck one day, given its size?
                        Drone flight is an exciting event, in itself, even without a task. smile There is no question.

        Thanks for the enlightenment! And then I think (since 1973!) Why do we need them? Well, but seriously. Alternatively, it can be loaded with an analogue of our R-31 or R-27, the use of which at one time was considered as an anti-aircraft carrier ICBM. On a new technical basis, but with maneuvering BB, it can be very much. Colleague Ascetic perfectly covered this topic in his commentary, in my opinion from 17.11. In addition, one should not forget about pr 667at (pregnant cat), plans for arming 667 bd with 4 kr combat modules in a mine (analogue of Ohio non-strategic). Not many people know that the General Staff of the Navy intended (by order of the General Staff) to reserve 2 silos at 941p for launching the AES-r.

            1. RpkSN can load 02 SLBMs against AVU (new R-33, let's say). Being in the ZRBD, on continuous SDV (ZPS, KS, KV) -link to receive in real time from Liana TsU via AUG. When generating data for firing (so that the SCWO "SLBM-anti avu" is less than equal to the ellipse of the probable location of the AVU during the data aging period), you can attack the AUG until it reaches the AB rise line. Then vigorously dump from the area in order to get out of the attack of the BR (PLO) amers.
            2. Rpk CH can be used on board the TO (possibly KR), these cases are described in the TRPL, or by the decision of the commander when breaking away from the PLC, attacking another submarine, hitting a naval base, etc. At the same time, the RPKSN is still a "strategist".
            3. There is no such thing now as "sea hunter". This is from the history of the WWII, where the USSR Navy was armed with anti-submarine boats - "small hunters for submarines" (such as MO-2 and MO-4).

      Anti-ship ballistic missiles long-range
      As you can see, at the end of the USSR 70x had the technology of "long arm" against aircraft carrier connections.
      At the same time, it is not even important that not all the components of this system: airborne target designation and ballistic anti-ship missiles - BKRP were fully deployed. The main thing is that the principle has been developed and the technology has been developed.
      It remains for us to repeat the existing groundwork at the modern level of science, technology, materials and components, to bring to perfection, and in sufficient quantities to deploy the necessary missile systems and reconnaissance and target designation systems based on the space component and the over-the-horizon radar. However, many of them are not required. Only with the prospect of less than 20 rocket kits (according to the number of AUG in the world), taking into account the guarantee and duplication of attacks - 40 complexes. This is just one missile division of the Soviet era. It is desirable, of course, to deploy in three forms: mobile - on a submarine, PGRK (based on Pioneer-Topol) and a mine version based on a new heavy rocket or the same stationary landlords in coastal areas.
      And then, as they would say, opponents of AUG - it would be an aspen (tungsten, depleted uranium or nuclear) stake in the heart of aircraft carriers.
      In any case, it would be an asymmetric response and a real threat, forever attributing AUGI to the shore.

      The fact is that the Russian aircraft carriers are not needed just to be. Carrier formations actively influence the positive development of foreign policy, and therefore the real income of the state. This is the main purpose of the AUG in peacetime.

    Firstly, it is necessary, in fact, to re-create the design bureau of large surface ships in St. Petersburg.

    It's not a problem. The problem will be to find constructors after 2021, this will be a problem. The present ones, even though the Soviet era, were caught, crawled by order, communicated with hard workers. And those who later come from the institute, for the first three years it is necessary to follow them so that they do not hit their heads or fall into the neck in place of their "drawings".
    Boathouse, yes, it will require money. But then it will be enough for a long time, there will be a whole direction in the industry, high-tech.

    The Sevmash will also have to deepen the basin where the ships descend and expand the existing bathoport.

    That they have stuck to Sevmash, there is little space in Russia? There is a place, for example, where winters are lighter and hot in summer: Bolshoy Kamen, Vladivostok. The plant is under construction now, up to 350 thousand tons of the tanker will be lowered - the place is excellent, only the commanders-in-chief change too often.

    In addition to everything, we completely lack the infrastructure for the maintenance of ships of this class. The experience of operating TAVK pr 1143 (Kiev, Minsk, Novorossiysk, Gorshkov) showed that parking in the roads in the absence of a quay wall significantly "knocks out" the service life of the ship's mechanisms, which significantly reduces its service life. This was one of the main reasons for the sale of the Gorshkov to India. The berth in Vidyaevo, built for Kuznetsov, also did not ensure the normal operation of the cruiser, the separation from the fleet's repair base and remoteness from support points significantly affected its technical condition, as a result of which it was transferred to Murmansk on SRZ-35, which for many years has been its home base. Today we do not have such basing points that could fully provide the basing of aircraft carriers. Before starting the construction of AB, it is necessary to create a specialized infrastructure in order for these ships to serve the entire prescribed period.

    Behind the crash of broken copies about the future of virtual aircraft carriers, for some reason, the Soviet experience in building and operating TAKR and vertical take-off and landing aircraft is completely forgotten.
    And in this area we were "ahead of the rest." And if the first Yak-38 was called the “top mast defense aircraft”, then the latest modifications were already full-fledged attack aircraft, and the Yak-141 was already a plane of a completely different level, and a great future was prophesied to it. No wonder the creators of the F-35 with such diligence studied the entire materiel and documentation for the 141st. I think that the experience we still have in creating VTOL can be used already at a new level of technological development, and benefit not only carrier-based aircraft.

      Combat radius: to 900 km
      Barrage time at a distance of 100 km: 90 min
      Take-off length: 120 m (or vertical take-off)
      Maximum operating overload: 7 g

      In principle, a good plane, against classmates, is somewhat comparable with the F-35B.
      But the presence of "weights on their feet" in the form of lifts with a total weight of half a ton makes it not competitive against conventional ground fighters, as well as the F-35B

    The United Shipbuilding Corporation Open Joint Stock Company Development Strategy for the period up to 2030, approved by the Board of Directors, is posted on the USC website in the Information Disclosure section (subsection "Internal documents of the company").

    The document contains chapters such as "Analysis of the internal and external environment", "Goals, objectives and directions of the Corporation's development", "Main activities, stages and terms of the Strategy implementation", "Action plan for the implementation of the Strategy".

    United Shipbuilding Corporation Open Joint Stock Company (hereinafter - the Corporation) was established in 2007 by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation. The structure of the Corporation was formed by 2009. One hundred percent of the Corporation's shares belong to the Russian Federation.

    The corporation has a key role in domestic shipbuilding. Currently, the Corporation has integrated 66 organizations operating in the field of shipbuilding (1 appendix). In fact, the Corporation is now a monopolist in the industry, especially in the class of ships from 7 thousand tons of deadweight and more. At the same time, the Corporation is experiencing serious difficulties in carrying out its activities.

    In particular, in recent years, the activities of the main enterprises of OJSC "OSK" are planned and unprofitable. Particularly difficult situation with the enterprises involved in the implementation of the state defense order "- noted in the" Strategy ".
    This is an official document. So what else to work and work on this topic !!!!

    The time will come when Russia will build aircraft carriers. In the meantime, alternative countermeasures should be developed against the aircraft carrier formations of a potential enemy, the United States and NATO.

    Welcome all! I would like to hope that at least with the construction of new submarines we will have everything in order, and destroyers need new ones. We really need an ocean fleet. The author plus, the topic is very serious and painful.

      And pumping us the ocean fleet? Where and why to ocean. Only in this way, seriously, without a forum fuse and a rally.
      Author minus with a huge minus, why? At the beginning of the discussion, he wrote that there are hundreds of millions of such articles with material collected from various publications and inserted without any changes!

    It seems to me that some kind of international division of labor is pecking.
    Russia builds nuclear submarines, nuclear power plants and airplanes, while India builds complete aircraft carriers.
    Further, the Anglo-Saxons are indignant, but they cannot get into the Kalash line.

    Not a single private problem will be resolved until we adopt the concept of a country's development in the center of which will be a person with his problems and opportunities, based on traditionalism and assessing the contribution of everyone to the common cause on the basis of the suffering principle.

    Work for our defense industry enterprises will be interesting. Thank God that scientists and specialists who still understand how to solve these problems have survived.


    Today, the country does not need aircraft carriers. It is possible that there are still scientists and specialists, but there are no modern shipyards and equipment for them, a number of unique technologies have been lost, there are no related enterprises, and there are not just skilled workers. and workers in general. One can still list for a long time how deplorable things are, in a word, there is nothing for the construction of aircraft carriers now.
    I sympathize with you, all my life I worked for the good of our great Motherland. and now she is gone.

    To carry out "Industrialization 2.0", to revive the military-industrial complex and preserve the continuity of generations, the country needs BIG projects. Such as the atomic project, like Space, like air defense and missile defense systems, like Tu-160, like "Buran", etc.
    Yes, expensive, yes, for a long time, but we still live on a backlog created in the years 30-40-60-70-80.
    The country needs managers at the level of Beria, Malyshev, Korolev, Tupolev, Ustinov and many others, the listing of which would take two pages here. Such managers are formed only on BIG projects.
    Just this time, let's carry out Industrialization 2.0 without tents, without camps, without dirt, without mats, without commissar guns.
    Let's restore the scientific and technical potential of the country, but we will do it not at the expense of people, but FOR people.
    Threat. And the Nikolaev shipyards, Dnepropetrovsk missiles, Kharkov tanks, Zaporizhzhya radio systems, Sevastopol bays, it seems, will be available to Russia very soon fellow

    "... three key systems, without which Gerald Ford, in general, is simply not functional, today they simply do not exist in nature. And it is difficult to say when they will appear. We are talking about a dual-band radar system (DBR - Dual-Band Radar), electromagnetic catapults (EMALS - Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System) and turbo-electric landing system (AAG - Advanced Arresting Gear). All three systems are in the prototype stage. " Without them, the aircraft carrier for 10 years will be a heap of iron afloat, at the outfitting wall of the plant. http://warfiles.ru/show-42467 http://warfiles.ru/user/dilanst/


    The quote is uninformative - strictly speaking, all systems on the lead ship (except for the serial ones borrowed from previous projects) are at the "prototype stage" because the prototype goes into the serial stage only after the end of the MVI (GI) of the ship.
    OCD (and all midrange OCD) end with the successful completion of the MVI (GI) facility.
