Projects of Soviet aircraft landing ships. Our "Mistral"

Aircraft universal amphibious assault ship-docking project 11780

BDK project 1174 type "Ivan Rogov" had many flaws, therefore, at the direction of the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy, Admiral S.G. Gorshkov Nevsky Design Bureau began the development of a full-fledged universal amphibious assault ship of the 11780 project of the Kremenchug type, which was developed throughout the 1980s as a reduced analogue of the American UDC of the Tarava type, for which he received the unofficial nickname “Ivan Tarava”.

The shape and purpose of the ship changed during the development process. Initially, the purpose of the ship were only amphibious operations. UDC had to have a solid deck, which allowed the use of both helicopters and vertical take-off and landing aircraft Yak-38. The General Staff proposed to turn the ships of the 11780 project into universal aircraft carriers, equipping them with a bow ramp and providing basing and other aircraft. It was assumed the construction of two ships of this project "Kherson" and "Kremenchug".

The ship had a normal displacement of 25 000 tons, length 196 meters (180 on KWL), width 35 meters (25 on KVL), draft 8 meters. As the main power plant was used kotloturbinnaya power 180 000 HP (142,4 MW), unified with the power plant of 956 squadron destroyers. The full stroke speed was 30 nodes, the economic rate of 18 nodes. The sailing range of the economic course was 8000 miles.

It is known that there were two versions of the ship, which differ in the placement of weapons. Depending on the version of the project, which included from 3 to 6 the TLU of the Dagger anti-aircraft missile system, from 2 to 4 of the combat modules of the Kortik anti-aircraft missile and artillery complex and the AK-130 universal artillery unit.

The air group consisted of X-NUMX airborne Ka-12 helicopters in the airborne version or 29 anti-submarine Ka-25 helicopters in the anti-submarine version. Four landing craft of the 27 project or 1176 landing craft on an air cushion of 2 avenue could be placed in the dock chamber of the ship.

There are no exact data on the number and composition of the landing force for project 11780, the “Aircraft Carriers of Russia” indicate that a similar-sized helicopter carrier, project 10200 “Khalzan” was designed for transportation of 50-60 tanks and a battalion of marines.

Ships with a standard displacement of 25 000 tons could be built only on the Black Sea GCC, so the “struggle for the stocks” began. At this time, the construction of heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers of the 1143.5 project, the General Staff, should have begun on the stocks of the Black Sea GCC, attaching great importance to the construction of the UDC, and proposed to build them instead of aircraft carriers. This was resisted by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. Understanding that the construction of the UDC, due to the lack of the required shipbuilding capacities, will most likely lead to the abandonment of the construction of aircraft-carrying cruisers of the 1143.5 project, they went to the trick. According to the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief, the AU AK-130 was placed in the bow of the ship, right on the flight deck, and the NII NII was assigned the task “scientifically” to substantiate the presence of such weapons and their location. As a result, the General Staff cooled to the project, and construction was postponed.

At the request of the USSR Minister of Defense Marshal Ustinov, in peacetime tasks of the 11780 project ships, tracking of enemy submarines in the ocean zone was added in peacetime. Ultimately, all of these changes meant that the 11780 ships were never laid.

10200 Halzan assault helicopter carrier

PLO helicopter carrier, landing helicopter carrier (draft). The development of the PLO helicopter carrier on the basis of the high-speed civilian container ship Roker 1609 Ave. was initiated by the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces, Admiral N.N. Amelko in 1978 after conducting the Argus research project (study of an integrated anti-submarine system, including the possibility of building low-cost PLO helicopter carriers based on civilian vessels, the Central Research Institute named after A.Krylova, the head of the research .V.Dmitriev). Ship 1609 av. "Captain Smirnov" (head, 1978 g., All built 4 pcs.) With a gas turbine power unit 2 x GGTA M25 with utilization circuit and power 25000 hp on each of the two shafts, deadweight 20000 t, full displacement 35000 t, length 203 m, width 30 m, depth of the board 21 m, draft 9,9 m and speed of 26 nodes built at the Kherson CVD. TTZ for the creation of a helicopter carrier pr. 10200 prepared in 1977. The Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on 21.04.1977 planned construction in 1981-1990. a series of 4 project ships on the stocks No. 1 GCC in Nikolaev as part of a series of rollers of Ave 1609 with parallel construction on the stocks No. 0 of the TAKR series Ave 1143 with a gradual improvement of the project.

The design of the helicopter carrier pr. 10200 was conducted by the Central Design Bureau "Chernomorsudproekt" (Nikolaev) in 1978-1980. Chief Designer Yu.T. Kamenetsky. The sketch project was completed at the end of 1977 in the 4 variants. In the process of designing, the TTZ was changed several times and as a result, a helicopter carrier was designed in two versions - as a ship for a long-range PLO and as a landing ship. Originally it was planned to build project ships at the Kherson CVD, but after the changes due to increasing displacement, the construction of the project became possible only at the Nikolaevsk CVD (which was loaded with construction of the ships of 1143 Ave. and other large orders).

The technical design of the ship pr.10200 was prepared in 1980 by the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated 28 in March 1980 in the plan for the construction of ships on 1981-1990. The construction of two ships of the 10200 Ave. on the stocks # 0 CVD in Nikolaev instead of the lead ship of the 1143.5 project with the delivery of the lead ship in 1986 was included. In August 1980, the 1 institute of the Navy made a positive decision on the technical project of 10200 Ave. At the same time, Nevsky PKB, together with the Central Research Institute. A.N.Krylova was proposed an alternative version of pr.10200 in the case of TAKR pr.1143. Analysis of variants of the project 10200 in September 1980 in the Central Research Institute for them. A.N.Krylova showed that the execution of a helicopter carrier in a civilian building does not provide adequate reliability in terms of the GEM (located in one compartment) and does not meet the requirements for military ships in physical fields (GEM had high noise,) low search performance of the PLO system ( 5 times smaller ships pr.1143) .. TsNII them. A.N.Krylova recommended for construction the variant pr. 10200 in the case pr.1143. After that, in September 1980, the 1 institute of the Navy revised the earlier decision on the approval of pr.10200. In November, 1980, on the scientific and technical council of the USSR Ministry of Industry and Technology, the technical design of project 10200 was rejected. At the end of 1980 - the beginning of 1981. Nevsky PKB developed a project of an antisubmarine helicopter carrier with amphibious capabilities of the 10200М, which was also rejected by 31 in March of 1981 by the decision of the 1-th Institute of the Navy, Central Research Institute. Academician AN Krylov, 24-th Institute of the Navy, a branch of the 30-th Institute of the Navy and the Nevsky PKB.

Title: The USSR was developed, not built. In 1981-1990. planned construction of 2 pcs. on Nikolaevsk CVD.

Universal landing ship dock pr.11780 UDKD.

“The photographs of the aircraft carrying KMPV“ Dolphin ”in two-hull and three-hull variant, the ship was designed by the Northern PKB with 1986 for the promising Yak-141 aircraft. it didn’t even go on. The work on the project was curtailed with the completion of the Yak-200.

Unfortunately, this is all the information that is, the ship was designed as a small and inexpensive.

Another interesting fact: under the deck of the hangar is not just because of the multi-hull structure, because of this hangars are visible in the superstructure, it turns out, everything that fits on the deck, and will be the air group. By my calculations, it turned out 14 LA.

The length, if the proportions of the Yak-141 count, goes 170 meters.

Universal landing ship dock pr.11780 UDKD. Neva PKB:

Solid flight deck, 200x25 meters,
Armament 1X2 AK-130, ZRK "Dagger" 3 UVP, ZRAK "KORTIK" 2pcs,
Ka-29 12 pcs. or Yak-38, Yak-141.
GEM A boiler-turbine installation similar to pr.956.
Amphibious hovercraft DKAVP.

The project was changed several times and in the final version was left without Yak-38 / Yak-141. But the anti-submarine mission of the ship was supposed after the replacement of the Ka-29 helicopters with the Ka-27. The finished project was submitted to the General Staff, where interest in it immediately disappeared. The project was secretly called “Ivan Tarava” because, in its original form, by purpose and purpose, it looked like the American UDC “TARAVA”.

Landing ship dock project 1609

In 1985, the TTZ was issued for the development of the landing ship dock. According to the results of the study, the Nevsky PKB presented the 3 version, which differed in displacement (from 19500 to 24800), length (from 204 to 214) and the dimensions of the dock-camera (from 75 to 80). After discussion, a large-tonnage version was selected for further development, which received the 1609 project number.

24800 / 31800т displacement, 214 x41м dimensions, 80 docking chamber x 15 x 6 m dimensions. Armament: 130-mm AU AK-130, 2 LAW "Dagger", 4 LAW "Kortik", ZNUMX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, ZNKX, 12 m. in reloading 29 helicopter), transported troops — 24 people. The docking chamber housed the 750 amphibious assault ship of the project 3 or 1206 project 10. The works did not come out of pre-sketch design due to a number of problems, one of which was the question - where to build? And at the beginning of the 11770's. it was no longer to the construction of landing ships.

According to many experts in the field fleet, ships of the project 1609 would not only not be inferior to the Frenchman, but even would surpass him. It is difficult for me to evaluate this objectively. But if you look at the proposed performance characteristics of the ship project 1609, it seems just obvious. And most importantly, these ships were to be built in Russia, and they were completely tough for Russian industry (at least in the late 90s).

That's right, you can’t argue)

[Per se.]

Realizing that the construction of the UDC, due to the lack of required shipbuilding capacities, is likely to lead to the abandonment of the construction of aircraft carriers of the 1143.5 project, they went to the trick. At the direction of the Commander-in-Chief, in the bow of the ship, directly on the flight deck, the AK-130 AU was placed

Instead of such a "trick" it would be better to free the bow section under the flight deck with the installation of a bow springboard. Project 11780 UDC, I think, would be much more useful to our fleet than aircraft-carrying cruisers, especially if our VTOL aircraft could be based on them. A separate topic is the project of the atomic "Ulyanovsk", here the UDC is not a competitor to it.

Helicopter carrier PLO, landing helicopter carrier (draft). The development of the PLO helicopter carrier based on the high-speed civilian container ship-roller carrier 1609 ave. was launched on the initiative of the deputy chief of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces Admiral N.N. Amelko in 1978

One of the most interesting projects that was destroyed by the original absurdity is the requirement of anti-submarine warfare from a ship created on the basis of a container ship with noisy mechanisms. It could well be a good landing helicopter carrier, as possibly a carrier of anti-submarine helicopters, with the transfer of the function of fighting boats to escort ships and helicopters. The project is interesting in that it allowed the creation of warships on the basis of civilians. Both of these projects could still be useful to our fleet.

And the last of the 4x ships, the container carrier-roller, is now part of the US Navy

We missed a lot of things, both the Soviet Union itself and its aircraft carrier fleet. Where their fools and skins did their best, where the Yankees fussed in advance, moreover, even against those ships that could only hypothetically be included in our Navy (this is both the purchase of rollers and a detective story on the release of the slipway with the unfinished Ulyanovsk).

After the collapse of the USSR, all four rollers were privatized. Not knowing how to dispose of honestly acquired property, their owners sold four huge handsome men to Global Container Lines and Marianna Shipbuilding Ltd. In 2001-2002, three of them ended up in a scrap metal dump in India. The remaining "Vladimir Vaslyaev" joined the ranks of the US Navy.

The Americans conducted a radical modernization of the ship: the ship's hull was disassembled and extended by inserting an additional section. The full displacement of the rokker increased to 50 thousand tons. The ship power station was replaced - the American equipment is designed for the frequency of the current 60 Hz. The rest of the design of the Roker is not changed - its unique power plant remained the same. Even with the USNS LCPL ROY M. increased in 1,5 fold, WHEAT is now able to develop 20 nodes. With the introduction of more automation, the crew of the Rokker was reduced to 29 people.
Due to its unique characteristics, the former Soviet ship was selected among other 30 ships to the rapid reaction force group - an elite unit of the Shipping Command.

If our generals, etc., did not demand from the designers to create an BMP with vertical takeoff (the so-called "peacefully plowing Soviet tractor), many developments would be in service. But monetary funds for ministries, state awards, orders, medals, baronial titles , county ranks, etc. destroyed in the brain the area responsible for the expediency of creating the necessary equipment ...

I am for: the 11780 and 10200 Khalzan projects are very relevant and now - it’s a little to modify the weapons in the arsenal to remove the surplus, new radars / electronics and everything, they contain 2-3 moray eels
At the same time as a warm-up before the construction of aircraft carriers in the future

[donavi49]

And there will be a number of unsolvable problems:

- the liberation campaign in Nikolaev seems to be postponed indefinitely (until Ukraine falls apart - and this is very foggy). That is, there is no slipway, there is nowhere to build. Yes, and the plant will require 4-5 years of intensive resuscitation involving staff of advanced shipyards of the country and complete machine-tool re-equipment.

- GEM. In Tarava, the boilers are identical to the 956 destroyer with all the consequences, in Halzan there are turbines with Dawns.

- the format itself, if you redo the projects, everything will start again bit by bit, one will want to push the 100500 UKKS to the other, a large platform for receiving the Mi-26, the third something else, as a result, the story will repeat and the ship will grow into something unique and unimaginably expensive with a lot of unresolved technical and tactical issues. Here the approach must be changed to the assignment.

[Gomunkul]

- the liberation campaign in Nikolaev seems to be postponed indefinitely (until Ukraine falls apart - and this is very foggy).

I can assume that the liberation campaign against Nikolaev was postponed not only for the collapse of Ukraine, but for the population of Ukraine to realize that there would be no freebie and association with the EU was not a bright future. Brzezinski made a mistake here, Russia refuses to finance the anti-Russian Ukrainian government, and even the EU does not really want to invest in the new European colony of the United States.

I am for: projects 11780 and 10200 Halzan

From "Khalzan" in general, the naval forces themselves pushed aside as they could and I heard the version that Omelchenko muddied this version in order not to build aircraft carriers - somehow he leaned more on submarines. preoccupied "anti-submarine war", well, it so happened that the amers had a head start on the possibilities of deployment and again SOSUS ruffled their nerves, so 11780 burned out in these intrigues. And he is frankly sorry. These, instead of 1174, are clearly not enough! With regard to the alterations of their civilian ships - well, in the USSR there was quite a good help for the UDC in the person of lighters and Arctic suppliers. Here is how, on the basis of them, it would be necessary to replace the BDK with the current one. And you got a good review! Visible and easy to read.

Hello AVT, it all depends on the political will of the leadership. Take China, it was an agrarian country that was, one might say, in the "Stone Age", and now it is a world power with a mind-boggling speed of development of science and industry. The leadership needs to change its outlook, and I think that rose-colored glasses have already fallen from clear eyes. We need an industrial revolution and we can tough it, then there will be a fleet and aviation, and so on.

Well, Medvedev and Serdyukov just need it in the teeth for "Mistral", but now what prevents dust from the USSR projects, to modify under the existing conditions and into a series? And let them eat the "Mistrals" themselves, and let them give money for the implementation of our old-new projects (at the expense of fines for late execution of orders). Let's create our own, and let the "Mistral" swallow the dust then after our high-speed beauties.

[donavi49]

Well, Medvedev and Serdyukov just need it in the teeth for "Mistral", but now what prevents dust from the USSR projects, to modify under the existing conditions and into a series?

1) Nowhere to build, even in perspective.
2) There is no GEM - only nuclear and diesel (boilers disappear due to zero operational survivability, and learn how to produce turbines of such power closer to the 30 years, according to optimistic calculations).
3) Various disputes in the Navy on the topic, but what is needed ?!
4) Distrust in crafts because 7-8 years and 20 lard rubles - in fact, will grow to 10-12 and 50-70 lard.

In general, the ship is most likely not with a solid, but with a stern and less in volume. Like Makassar - if adequats win, or 071 if moderate. But there are advance options on 45-50k tons for the lobby of lovers of large and universal.

and prepare a new project of UDC with accounting for operation

The project is preparing a design bureau, not a factory.

Honestly, I did not understand whether they should or should not build the 3rd and 4th Mistrals. In different places it was said differently.

Should not. The subject has changed.

There was such a mess in the media because journalists covered process negotiations. At that time, no one knew the future. There were only "Wishlist" and "Probabilities". The formula: 2 + 2, as well as the degree of localization of production in Russia (for four: 20% / 40% / 60% / 80%) - this is all from the same "opera".
Before the "critical moment" - "categorical rejection by the people", different things were assumed. I had to add populism. We agreed on: Building TWA together, with varying degrees of production localization. Try them in operation and decide (but we understand) ... is it worth making two more, in Russia, under a license. (After finalizing the project with a file, for our roads)
The agreement was concluded for TWO + SOME AGREEMENT, for two more "probable" ones. (Like: wanting to get married - not ...) Obviously, the latter was said, Secondly (!) to calm the "electorate". Painfully, the deal was not popular. We (the public) would be told after a year of operation of the "Vladik" - they say: good / rules / good cow / efficient weight - to build eZsho. Did not work out.
But firstly (!), negotiated a tidbit BIUS - zenith9 and other know-how from the French. French therefore imposed a series. Say order one (two, all the same a little), CIUS - Fig. They are not fools either.
Conclusion: 3 and 4 Mistral would be built, with correction according to the results of operation of the first.
JV USC / DCNS was created for this project and for the "future".
Did not work out.

Back in the USSR in the 1980s, they already realized the need for a landing ship for over-the-horizon landing. And the projects were developed. And here in the 21st century they still argue about the need for such a ship.

[Gans1234]

Here I am about the same.
Current ships correspond to the concept of the middle of the last century.
And to change in accordance with modern requirements and foreign experience is a break-it’s the same mess. It's easier to scream that slag, and no escort

There is such a book by Tom Clancy "The Red Storm Rises" It just describes the situation when ours used these very Ro-ro-roers for an effective and fast landing of the Marine Corps to capture Iceland. Moreover, they transported boats on an air cushion, which were used in the attack and helicopters. Already in the 80s, the West understood the potential of our possible use of these ships, they were afraid of this. I read somewhere that the Americans bought these ships from us in the 90s and are now using them in their auxiliary fleet for landing operations.

[Gomunkul]

It just describes the situation when ours used these same skaters to efficiently and quickly land a marine corps to capture Iceland.

Writers can write whatever they want, but if we are guided by logic, then Iceland itself is of no value (unless, of course, we are talking about control over the Arctic). The US military command is by no means stupid, that's why they came up with the so-called "soft power", the effect of the latter we observe in the form of color revolutions, which are much cheaper for the US budget than a direct military invasion.

[Tektor]

We will have a DVD type Mistral. What's bad about it? It incorporates a proven logic: it has almost no flaws. Obviously, we need to work to eliminate the existing, such as low speed full speed and weak armament. The main advantage is that we can build it quickly: our shipbuilders have proved it. I see no reason to be upset. Definitely, with the advent of Mistral in the Navy, its capabilities will increase.

[D-Master]

In addition, there will be a technology for building such ships at Russian shipyards with elaborated technical documentation - which is more than good. (IMHO of course)

[Val_y]

Oh well, no flaws!?!?!? Yes, it now requires huge investments in infrastructure, besides it is necessary to change the concept of the entire Navy and, in particular, the method of landing (not directly to the shore, but over-the-horizon as part of the AUG) so ...

Yeah, and our aircraft carriers did not need coastal infrastructure. from that and burned on barrels.

Yes ! This is grief and misfortune in practice! Indeed - the brain must be strained and generally learn to plan and organize the landing in a new way. Tolley is the case in the old way - pile on the old tank assault BDK, dump what you got to the shore and dump if something is afloat. But how much later you can sing the courage of sailors and marines who fell in battle! Well, about the heroic landing from the BDK under fire.

[gregor6549]

So maybe it's time to change? You can’t be a little bit pregnant all the time. Or sit on the coast under the guise of coastal aviation and air defense systems, or be ready for war in any corner of the oceans. If the latter, then the ocean fleet, balanced in terms of forces and means, cannot be dispensed with, including without aircraft-carrying ships. After all, even nuclear submarines need a solid cover both at the deployment stage and at all subsequent stages. Otherwise, a mighty nuclear submarine can become easy prey for a frail helicopter or PLO aircraft and no MANPADS like Arrow or its analogs will save the nuclear submarines even if there are a lot of them on the submarine. The Chinese have already realized this and are developing their fleet at an accelerated pace precisely in this direction. Moreover, along with surface aircraft carriers, variants of submarine aircraft carriers, including those on which UAVs will be based, are in full swing. Indeed, for the use of UAVs, it is not necessary to have take-off and landing decks the size of a football field and huge hangars. For their transportation and launch, rocket mines or torpedo tubes of a submarine are quite suitable. And the loss of UAVs is not as sensitive as the loss of a manned aircraft.

How tired of the lovers of concepts.
The concept of A.V. Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle, was simple and tested in practice:
"A bullet is a fool, a bayonet is great"
What's next? Will we give up machine guns?

weak armament.

Armament is limping. Although it is completely solvable if you solve this problem without forgetting that it is UDC, and not a frigate or destroyer.
Judging by open sources, the Mistral of the Russian Federation will have 2 bending and 2 AK-630. Remove bending and put two, or even better four, shell-m. Add Package-NK.
In general, that’s all. What else is there to invent?

[donavi49]

There are something to invent:

Bending is still the last generation of the last contour and ultralight MD. There is no new complex - which is necessary not only for UDC, but in general for the entire fleet, on the basis of more efficient missiles (in the world of WW-Sideweider / Chinese clone with P-60 elements).

Shell-M does not exist.

The NK-package is not needed if there is no means of detection, and from here follows the HAC and alterations.

Broadsword / Palm. In general, you need to finish the shell.

Just the same. There are a lot of submarines, therefore fighting off torpedoes with what is necessary. There will be no excess.

Are there ships under which infrastructure is unnecessary?

And what prevents planting as before? Moray eels or whatever he will have in the dock as a BDK can approach the shore.
And on the subject of AUG. It depends on where to plant. If on their own Kuril Islands the range of the land-based air force is quite enough. And in general, what kind of landing is it without at least "temporary" air supremacy on the coast (c). Here the question is much broader. Where to actually apply. At home near the borders or somewhere in Africa.
So Mistral is quite a ship. It will provide both cargo and deliver cargo at a time greater than BDK (Syria), and will drop saboteurs (by helicopter), and the embassy will evacuate, and the connection will drop off to its own islands without port infrastructure.

[xomaNN]

As a fallback, if the French return the money instead of the washed-out "mistrals", the actual developments of the UDC are quite useful. A question with stocks. Is that Nikolaev as part of the NNR to Russia to take And there already from the shipyard there is one name and the skeleton of the unfinished KR 1164pr.

And the ships are handsome. Something similar to TARK. Associations with museum exhibits in Leningrad. Yes, yes, I was not in St. Petersburg, I found Leningrad.

[Gans1234]

From tomorrow, there will be a selection of models of aircraft carriers, daily, until the next week, according to 15-20 photos. It remains only Varyag and Kuznets to find photos of models, the rest are already in the queue for almost a week

[Bradypodidae]

Of all the projects, 1609 was liked the most. Everything was thought out, nothing more. Just a ship on the topic. The rest of the projects are frankly unsuccessful. They stuffed a lot of extra.
