On Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that at the moment Russia has no task of building an aircraft carrier.

Dmitry Rogozin: The task of building an aircraft carrier in Russia is not worth it


“An aircraft carrier is a geopolitical decision, not a military-technical one. In the military-technical sense, we proved on November 16 last year that the Russian Federation for the first time acquired the competence to create aircraft carrier ships fleet"- quotes his words RIA "News".

Earlier, representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the question of building an aircraft carrier would be considered no earlier than five years later. While in the state armament program before 2020, this is not provided.

“There will be such a task - it will be fulfilled. But so far this task is not worth it, ”Rogozin said.

Meanwhile, it was previously noted that the contract with the French side on the Mistral helicopter carriers involved obtaining appropriate technologies and experience in building aircraft carriers of this class.

At the moment, the Russian Navy has one aircraft-carrying cruiser, the Admiral Kuznetsov.

        An expensive business is servicing an aircraft carrier. In the US there are 10 to 3000 people each. Dress, feed, arm ... and so on ad infinitum. No wonder they have the largest public debt in the world.

          That's where the dog is buried! The United States has the largest public debt because it has 10 aircraft carriers! Thank you so much, you just opened my eyes lol
          By the way, the maintenance of the Army must also be abandoned, or hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they must be armed, arm and so on ad infinitum! Horror !! 11

            Let's compare the incomparable "Abrams" versus "Fagot" for the price. So an aircraft carrier has all the eggs in one basket. In the USSR, they built a "weave" to fight aircraft carriers. To navigate the seas, aircraft carriers and bases are needed all over the world. We don't have them. States, as a rule, use them against countries that do not have air defense. Suppose Russia has 10 of them, against whom should they be used? States from all over the world collect loot through central banks to maintain power. We only have our own mate. and fin. opportunities to use. So he can think about how their (USA) capabilities in a cheaper way to neutralize the threat.

              Exactly . Amers need aircraft carriers since the zone of their possible hostilities is the whole world, and from their territory they, for example, cannot control naval forces and other regions of interest to them. Our zones of possible conflicts are located at our borders and are quite reachable from our territory. These 10 aircraft carriers are mobile bases that the Americans are pulling to where they want to fight. Well, in the case of a big war, but NATO’s war with the Russian Federation will not be different, they will be destroyed, for example, tiao. In principle, tiao can be detonated even at a distance from aug and from it, little remains. So if you build an aircraft carrier, then there is only one - for prestige, although it is painfully expensive and not very effective for our military doctrine.

          If you want to ruin a country, give it an aircraft carrier. The fleet itself is very expensive, and aircraft carriers are extremely expensive. In theory, it would be more logical to bring to mind * Kuznetsov *, provide him with a worthy escort like AUG, and let him show his muscles in the right places .

          There was an 1160 project without a springboard, it was later abandoned in favor of the 1143.7 project
          The development of the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser of the Ulyanovsk 1143.7 project, which was to become the flagship of the Navy, began in the Nevsky Design Bureau in 1984 under the leadership of L. V. Belov (later it was replaced by Yu. M. Varfolomeev). When designing, the experience of developing the 1160 project was taken into account. Ulyanovsk was planned as the first of four ships of the same type

          On the fodel of an aircraft carrier of the 1160 project - on the deck there are models of MiG-23K fighters and Yak-44 RSLD aircraft

        Kuznetsov in the SF is not needed, he only acceptable to swim in the Far East. The northern type has not yet been created. At a minimum, it should be larger, at least as Ulyanovsk. And remove all weapons, maybe even for self-defense. All options are exclusively for flight support. Radar can be modest, without transcendent capacities. Anyway, the flying radar sees further.

          What competence and from whom did we acquire, and if we built ourselves, did we ourselves acquire, or if the ship was Soviet-built - then from the union, and where did the money go ......

The question is who will have whom in terms of what will need to be spent on equipping them with aircraft, ammunition, on maintaining and servicing the ship itself and its crew, etc. etc. If the money has nowhere to go, then you can spend it on it. Of course, prestigious, effective, but we do not have expeditionary troops, and the doctrine is defensive. It would be nice to have a replacement to replace Kuznetsov (for the period of repairs), but in general, there is no particular sense.

They are building the Queen and the Prince, but there is only one ambush for exploitation money. Also, they will not be able to purchase 2 air groups, again there is no money. And that was before Scotland, by the way.

        Current plan:
        The commissioning of Lisa, running on her air group, testing and training.
        Commissioning of the Prince - transfer of sailors from Lisa and the air group to Prince.
        Preservation of Lisa after 3 years after the introduction of operation.

        There was an alternative plan - to make Lisa the core of the EU fleet. However, europushka has no money. The French with their miracle and they do not need someone else. The Germans have no money for such imperial toys. The rest and even more so, only the Poles, Belgians, Danes, and Greeks, and the latter, with an EU loan, agreed to allocate there, agreed wassat . Total, then this idea was buried. However, now, all of a sudden, they wanted to play boats and tanks in Europe. Therefore, it is possible to revive the idea of ​​the EU Fleet with Lisa at the head.

      Quite right, an aircraft carrier is a means of carrying strike aircraft far beyond the borders of the country, which is typical for the United States and Great Britain, essentially island states that are fighting far from their borders.

      Here, as well as on land, if the enemy is strong with tanks, then the defense must be saturated with anti-tank weapons. If the enemy has AUG and aircraft carriers, then, in accordance with our doctrine, means must be developed that can overcome the air defense convoy and deprive the AUG strike assets. Of course, I am not a war advocate and not a jingoist, but to reduce American geopolitical ambitions, it would be great to develop an operation and accidentally drop one aircraft carrier to the bottom during Obama's promised airstrikes on Syria and on radical Islamic militants. War is like war. Americans need to feel it. And then figure it out, as with the Boeing ... Who shot it down ... whether terrorists ... separatists or someone else ...

The fact that they are expensive to maintain is the cost of the military budget. Military bases are no cheaper than the Army. So you need to think about it: a base or an aircraft carrier.

      Oh, Vanya, whatever one may say, the aircraft carrier needs a base! And besides the base, he also needs security ships, at least 8 pieces! Yeah, these ships are also needed by the nuclear submarines to cover deployment areas, and the enemy’s anti-tank and anti-missile defense units, the escort of convoys and landing troops, the protection of fishing and oil fields, and the ASW ships are needed, both the mines and the auxiliary fleet, and the raid support vessels. And all this is urgently needed, but the production facilities and, most importantly, the financial resources are so lacking.

      An electro-magnetic catapult is not as expensive as a steam catapult in operation, and it does not require a nuclear boiler. In addition, the installation of such a catapult is much easier. But ... the number of starts per minute should be expected to be almost 2 times less than that of the steam counterpart. EMC also needs critical technologies, which so far are only in theory.

    Actually, in the USSR, aircraft carriers were considered as a means of air defense and missile defense missile cruisers. From here comes the very characteristic composition of aviation weapons. Those. do not confuse TAKR with the US strike aircraft carrier, which is the core of the strike aircraft carrier group, a completely independent combat unit. TAKR Ulyanovsk, was supposed to provide air cover for the atomic cruisers 1144, which were the main striking force.

        By the way, there was a lot of controversy about this when creating the project. It all boiled down to the fact that the cruiser should have both aviation and missile weapons, because he is a cruiser anyway. A kind of multi-purpose, which, incidentally, has become rather a disadvantage. The same applies to the Orlan, whose armaments are very diverse, as a result of which the displacement is obviously too big even for an atomic cruiser. Perhaps when compiling the TTZ there was not yet a clear vision of the application concept. But the fact that Ulyanovsk were supposed to interact with the Eagles as part of one group just explains the choice of a nuclear power plant on an aircraft carrier.

          Well, I don’t know, is there a description of such an interaction? I'm not against :). It’s just that both cruisers themselves are heads of orders, flagships. In other words, such a group can number up to 15 ships ..... although ... why not, but a bit too much

          As for the Kirov, then: “However, there is unverified information that the NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Organization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) considered the Soviet squadrons, led by the cruisers of the 1144 Orlan project, as very dangerous rivals for their aircraft carrier formations. exercises for the destruction of such a squadron were exhibited groupings of four aircraft carriers, of which only one was supposed to stay afloat.

      The aircraft carrier is not useless at the moment. Depending on the problems, it can solve a fairly wide range of tasks (increasing the stability of military units of formations and groups, combat strike effectiveness, general opposition to the deployment and deployed aircraft and naval forces by the enemy, air support for amphibious operations, etc.). It is worth noting that combat operations have a stage, conditionally, preparatory (when the deployment of formations for delivering and repelling a strike is in progress: not! Aggression! Or! Self-defense!, But a DB element). There is a similar principle in the political arsenal. This means that the use of weapons is not necessary, and the winner of a hypothetical conflict can be determined without a database. Additionally, it is worth noting the factor of the ability to protect their interests or a hypothetical ally (this political element already has an indirect impact on the economy in the context of globalism). Not only "bomb the Papuans" ...
      However, there are factors that call into question the rationality of solving problems with aircraft carriers in our country at the moment. In particular, in addition to economic, - the advanced development of weapons, "awareness", etc. Those. the perspective of the method / complex of methods "aircraft carrier" and its parameters are not entirely clear (which, by the way, can be observed on other types of warship projects).
      Therefore, in my opinion, it is advisable to choose a wait-and-see attitude at least for some time (sufficient to solve economic problems and complete the range of case studies, after which it will be possible to reconsider / make some decision).

For an attack on an air defense-free country, it is suitable and effective if hammered every six months to increase payback. But where to get so many "victims"? And then, if we estimate the efficiency by people (total / flight crew) or by payload - the efficiency of costs constantly tends to zero with increasing peacetime.

    It is enough for Russia to form a non-flying and non-floating five hundred-mile zone along the border and guaranteed destruction of the command post of any NATO allies in the same zone. The rest, if necessary, will be completed by nuclear weapons. And why do we need an "iron island"? Support allies? So they are still so allies that they would start large-scale wars. And even those are on the continent of Eurasia. For that matter, you can zhahnut on the "hut" of the initiator of the conflict, and it is within reach from land.

    The issue of building aircraft carriers is very, very difficult. What is expensive, no one doubts this. But! With the construction of the aircraft carrier fleet, a powerful infrastructure must be built to provide ships and escort ships (PLO, air defense). And this is the development of the fleet.

    Take our aircraft carrier cruisers pr 1143. TAKR “KIEV” - 10 combat services, it seems not bad, but !!!! In Severomorsk, the ship stood on a barrel. There was no berth. With a storm of readiness two, he almost always went to sea. Going out to sea for combat training is definitely needed, but not 2-3 times a week for half a day. Standing on a barrel - increased resource consumption. So, there could have been more military services. Bottom line: a hotel in China.

    It’s interesting, but does it make sense from the AUG, except for the American use case, like an airfield in any part of the world, subject to low opposition? Indeed, at a much lower cost, nuclear-powered submarines with cruise missiles (SSBNs) are superior in effectiveness (hardly detectable, difficult to submerge) to AOG when attacking coastal targets. Also in the fight against surface forces of the enemy (the same AUGs, for example), the SSGN pr. 949a is much more effective not only than the AUG, but also the connection of missile nuclear cruisers. About strategic attacks on the remote strategic goals of the AOG are generally almost useless, unlike SSBNs.
    Maybe the AUG for Russia will prove to be too expensive and not particularly effective toy? Isn't it better to spend more on creating new types of submarines and upgrading old ones?

    The country's ability to build carrier ships is not only a demonstration of its economic and military power, it is also a demonstration of its high scientific and technological achievements, a high level of production capacity.

      I agree, but does it make sense to build a separate aircraft carrier?
      A complex and united ocean fleet will not do without aircraft carriers of various classes, including strike ones. But due to terrible economic problems in Russia, this is unlikely.

      And by the way, what is Russia's military doctrine now? In theory, rearmament should be planned on the basis of it.

    Russia does not need an aircraft carrier yet. We must first build destroyers!

    Off topic, but really interesting:

    The first serial sample of the 130-mm universal shipborne automatic artillery mount A-192M, delivered to JSC "Shipbuilding plant" Severnaya Verf "for installation on the lead frigate of project 22350" Admiral of the Soviet Union Fleet Gorshkov. "St. Petersburg, September 2014 (from ) SiegHard / forums.airbase.ru

    Meanwhile, as reported on the web resource forums.airbase.ru, at the end of August in the main power plant of the frigate "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov" one of the two gas turbines M90FR produced by the Nikolaev GP NPKG "Zorya" - "Mashproekt", which may again postpone the launch of the ship to the factory sea trials. http://bmpd.livejournal.com/

    Tired of these conversations about the aircraft carrier. He was not needed in the USSR, and now even more so. There is where to spend the money.

    A flotation carrier is certainly needed, but not now or tomorrow there are more immediate problems: restoring the air force of the navy (coastal), submarine fleet, providing the fleet with other ships, and then you can think about an aircraft carrier.

      To ensure the protection of Russia's interests and the defense of maritime borders, a large ocean fleet is needed. As a part of which aircraft carriers are needed, both strike and anti-submarine, landing, etc., which will greatly increase the capabilities of the fleets in the ocean and sea theater of operations. smile

      There is always a need in general, but the possibility is unlikely.

      This, I think, is an argument.

      Z.Y. The Ocean Fleet is capable of competing quantitatively and qualitatively with the fleets of NATO countries across all oceans and seas. Different types of aircraft carriers need not two or three, but much more. But so far the Russian Federation cannot afford anything even close to this.

        I agree .. relatively. In the meantime, we must first build and replace for the defense at least ... and then think about it. And not as it is now .. we provide aug..and to other fleets for training .. lowering their capabilities. And by the way .. we are building frigates for 4-5 years ... the aircraft carrier will build at least 15-20 years .. this is not serious. So that the next 30 years and nothing to think. seas would cover their own.

        So if you do not do this, then nothing will happen. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Medium-range missiles (I don’t remember what they called) unnecessarily drank at Mechnenyi, how much to restore? Ballistic missile trains, where? TAKR - hotels in China

          So you must first restore what is closer .. and what is easier. Shipbuilding debug. And this can’t be done in a couple of years. And how will these same 20-30 years pass ... so there maybe the aircraft carriers will sink into oblivion ... or maybe vice versa will become very necessary ... there is already one guessing ... who knows where science will turn it. It only remains to make assumptions .. But nevertheless, it is better to do what we have .. and what's faster

            So no one calls to build 2 Nimitz during the year and spit on expenses. You just don’t need to lose what has been studied and built + learn from the world shipbuilding experience (take the best, if you can’t buy sleep).
            Again, only adequate TTZ, no crazy projects like catching up and overtaking, and essno budget control.

            And of course, what does the Navy want? What is the development of 1-2-5-10-20 years? If carriers, then what kind of support ships, what kind of aircraft. If the aircraft carrying cruisers - then again in what form (plz just not Mistral wink )

    But is it really impossible to consider an aircraft carrier not only as a means of attacking a certain land area, but as a means of counteracting the enemy’s ACG and other naval formations? It seems to me (when the time comes of course) that during the construction of our aircraft carrier it is necessary to lay such parameters. And to develop compact AWACS and anti-submarine deck-based search aircraft, and aircraft for the destruction of ships and submarines.
