The most absurd ships in the history of the navy


Torment with springboard

Demolish can not be left. The command of the Australian Navy still can not decide where to put a comma.

The helicopter carrier “Canberra” is an export version of the UDC “Juan Carlos I” from the Spanish company “Navantia”.

Inherited from the “Juan Carlos” Australian UDC got a bow springboard, which the Spaniards use to facilitate take-off of the VTOL “Sea Harrier”. Springboard - a characteristic feature UDKV of this type. It expands the tactical capabilities of “Juan Carlos” and allows you to use the ship as a light aircraft carrier.



And here a paradox arose. Deck aviation The Australian Navy is represented exclusively by rotorcraft, for the operation of which it is preferable to have a flat deck. Landing a helicopter on a 13-degree springboard is not an easy task.

All plans for the modernization of “Canberra” under the basis of promising F-35B remained unfulfilled. The military came to the conclusion that this would require serious reworking of the project, incl. taking measures to increase aviation fuel supplies, increase the lift capacity of the elevator and install a heat-resistant coating with a cooling system on the flight deck.

At the same time, the dismantling of the springboard, which occupies the flight deck 50 meters, is also considered an extremely heavy technical task.

As a result, possessing large dimensions and displacement, the Australian “Canberra” has no advantages in terms of composition of the air group over UDKV of other countries.

Separately, there is the question of the justification for acquiring UDKV from the point of view of the small Australian Navy. 1,5 billion dollars for a low-speed “barge” without any weapons, means of detecting and controlling fire. Where are the Australians going to land? For the delivery of soldiers to Afghanistan, it is enough to order a charter flight.

“The terrible“ Yak ”-“ Yak ”is flying in the sky about the deck .... (shmyak)”.

Heavy aircraft carrier cruisers pr. 1143

The Americans were afraid of Soviet submarines, and they taunted TAVKR, calling them the surrogate brainchild of Admiral Gorshkov.

And there was something to laugh about. The hybrid of a missile cruiser and an aircraft carrier turned out to be completely inefficient, like a cruiser, and completely inefficient as an aircraft carrier.



In terms of their composition, the formidable TAVKR corresponded to a large anti-submarine ship - despite a six-fold difference in their displacement! With the appearance of the RKR “Glory”, the comparison generally lost all meaning, due to the incomparable capabilities of TAVKRs and “normal” cruisers armed with 16 “Basalts” and the long-range anti-aircraft system C-300F.

The TAVKR carrier-based aviation is the “Yak-38 top mast guard aircraft” with an 10-minute fuel reserve. About the combat capabilities of the Soviet "verticals" says a simple fact - they did not have radar. Detection of the enemy was carried out in a visual way, which in the coming era of the fourth generation of fighters meant a sudden death in a battle against a medium-range (long-range) URVV.

Moreover, unlike the British Sea Harrier "Sea Harrier", for which a shortened "springboard" take-off was envisaged in order to increase their combat load, the layout of the Russian TAVKR excluded, in principle, the presence of any springboard.

In general, the sailors had a lot of fun, throwing a dozen or so full-blown Soviet rubles into the wind. Only positive news lay in the fact that despite the overwhelming number of accidents, the loss of flight personnel were calculated in units. Forced ejection system Yak-38 compensated for all the shortcomings of this stupid attraction.

Super Cruiser

He was created as a fighter of enemy cruisers. Especially for it, 305 mm rapid-fire gun mounts and a completely non-cruiser armored system with 229 mm belts and an armored deck system whose total thickness reached 170 mm were developed!

In the end, “Alaska” was too big for a cruiser, but not strong enough to compete with battleships. The Americans had to come up with a new classification and write down “Alaska” in “big cruisers” (СB).

Admirals came to their senses too late. Construction was halted on the third building (CB-3 “Hawaii”), when it was ready 85%.



No less sad was the fate of two built “big cruisers” - “Alaska” and “Guam”. After serving less than two years, the giant ships, whose length reached a quarter of a kilometer, were taken to the reserve. Subsequently, various plans to turn the Alasok into missile cruisers were discussed, but none of the proposals was made. Having stood in reserve for 15 years, both giants went for scrap.

Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters (Goya)

In addition to the general absurdity of the project, Alaska is criticized for unforgivable mistakes in its design. With such dimensions (34 000 tons) it was possible to provide much better security (for example, the German “Scharnhorst”). And, nonsense by the standards of 40's, the almost complete absence of anti-torpedo protection! The super cruiser had a good chance to tip over from hitting just one torpedo.

No, for all its flaws, Alaska was not a bad ship. I will say more - under other circumstances, acting under a different flag, “Alaska” would become the flagship and pride of the majority of the fleets of the world. But for the Americans, who had a clear concept of using the Navy and experience in building balanced TKR and LC, the adventure with the construction of such an awkward ship looks like sheer insanity.

Cabin carrier "Ural"

The super-ship, to the creation of which the 200 research teams of the USSR were involved, made the only trip during its career - the transition from the Baltic to the intended duty station, to the Pacific Ocean. After that, forever out of order.

265 meters of length.

Full displacement 36 000 tons.

Combined power plant of two nuclear reactors and two boilers for fuel oil.

Due to the exorbitant complexity of its design, it was still in the process of building that the “Ural” received a steady lurch in 2 ° to the left side.

What was this paranormal ship built for?

The only purpose of the “Ural” was to monitor the missile range on the Kwajalein Atoll. Obtaining reliable information about the warheads of American missiles, their size, characteristics and behavior in the final segment of the trajectory, using radar and optical means.



The more information about this project is revealed, the more bewildered is this stillborn child of a dying USSR.

In fact, the capabilities of Ural corresponded to the capabilities of the upgraded Aegis system (the most famous episode: interception of a space satellite at an altitude of 247 km). Moreover, the first "Aegis" was installed on a serial warship seven years before the appearance of the "Ural", in 1983 year. Neither then nor now nuclear reactors were required for the operation of Ajis. Also, as they are not required for the operation of the giant sea pro-radar SBX.

Of course, in our day the restoration of a large intelligence ship “Ural” does not make sense. Installed on board the computer "Elbrus" inferior in performance to any smartphone. And the radar complex is morally obsolete with the advent of modern radars with active phased arrays.

Masterpiece? Sure! “Ural” has once again proved what the victory of technology over common sense leads to.

Atomic cruiser "Virginia"

The most useful member of this list. And not only because he launched two Tomahawks on Iraq. Unlike other irresponsible projects, “Virginia” at the dawn of her career really was of military value and was considered almost the key element of the AUG air defense.

However, this story It had a standard for all monsters end.



Four atomic giants, having served less than half of the planned period (“Texas” - just 15 years!), Ended up in a landfill. Why?

In the presence of advanced engine-building and excellent shipboard gas turbines, the decision to build cruisers with nuclear power plants was initially at least controversial. It is worth noting that this was not the first American experience in creating nuclear cruisers, while all previous experiments did not end with anything good.

The beginning of the end of the Virginia was the appearance of cruisers equipped with the Aegis system and underdeck launchers with a wide range of ammunition used.

The calculations made in 1996 year showed that the cost of operating a nuclear cruiser (40 million dollars per year) is almost twice as high as Ajis cruisers and destroyers, with an incomparable difference in their capabilities. The cost of upgrading Virginia to turn it into Ages cruiser was as the construction of a new “Tikondery”. However, even in this case, the modernized Virginia would be inferior to the new ship.


"Virginia" on recycling, the beginning of the 2000's


The list of stupid and absurd inventions in the field of the Navy is not limited to the five ships represented. Albert Einstein said: “There are two endless things in the world: the Universe and human stupidity. Although I'm not quite sure about the Universe. ”

                Do you have any idea how much more complex a nuclear power plant is than any other and how much its life cycle costs? And do you think that in the really operating in the ocean squadrons only warships? Well, familiarize yourself with the fact that at least near Syria, find several supply ships, this is a normal practice. Wonderful people, by God. The atomic propulsion system on surface warships has long proved its worthlessness, the Peter the Great and the Moskva are excellent examples, for 40% of the Eagles' displacement they managed to get 80% of their capabilities.

                  You, most importantly, do not tell the Americans. And then they were very happy that ships with nuclear power plants, unlike ships with traditional power plants, can make long-distance transitions at speeds close to maximum. They liked very much that it is possible to drive aircraft carriers from ocean to ocean with an average speed of 28-30 knots.

              1. I didn’t drink at the Brudershaft, so let’s go at YOU.
              2. About dock repair after 30 days no one spoke.
              3. All the same, you have to chew "Autonomy of navigation (abbreviated autonomy) - an element of tactical and technical data characterizing the time (in days) during which the ship is able to be at sea, performing its assigned tasks, without replenishing supplies of drinking and industrial water, provisions and consumables not related to the movement, as well as without changing personnel.
              The autonomy of the ship is set during the design, while taking into account the tasks assigned to the ship and navigation areas. Autonomy is ensured by the reliability of technical means, the creation of the necessary living conditions for the crew and the placement on the ship of the material reserves required for the functioning of the ship.
              Unlike the cruising range, which can be practically unlimited (for nuclear-powered ships), autonomy always has a limit. "
              3. From clause 2 answers follow about PMTO and a nuclear reactor.
              4. The Kriegsmarine mostly plowed the Atlantic, and even there it seems to me that they somehow replenished supplies. About maintaining the Kriegsmarine database in the Pacific and Indian oceans ???? where did you get this? request
              5. A modern container ship, yes it can. But count the electricity consumers on the container ship and on the scout. recourse If all consumers of the reconnaissance ship are put on a container ship, then it will be blown away after "a couple of hundred" nautical miles.

After all, only helicopters could take contact with the submarine in the DZAO! And this despite the fact that GAS "Orion" was the most powerful of all sub-killer stations. And the spaced "Platina" could determine D to an underwater target in the SHP mode. There is a separate conversation about missile weapons and avionics.

Where is the most useless and coolest first RRC in the world from the United States, which did not even develop its speed (with the characteristics of the 30s) even with cut-off GK towers and with gutted armored cellars?

Where in this article is the most awesome English minesweeper, who was blown up by a mine from the times of WWII and was scrapped, in it all the equipment and assemblies were torn off the fastener so cool from the explosion!

            Gentlemen-comrades, you see, anchor-hooks are welded up in the Urals, so that the anchor does not break the fairing of the GAS, and the fairing is there oh-go-go. From here a conclusion, tracking not only missiles but also nuclear submarines. The roar of diesel engines reduces the range of the gas. They put a turbine, if steam is produced on this turbine using fuel oil or puts a gas turbine in a solarium, you can forget about the autonomy of the range of walking. Nuclear reactors measure was correct, only everything was done in the late 80s through one place.

            Moreover, the first “Aegis” was installed on a serial warship seven more years before the appearance of the “Urals”, in 1983.
            And what was she like with SOI screams?

            In fact, the capabilities of the Urals corresponded to the capabilities of the modernized Aegis system
            These are your words!
            Tests on the Aegis program began in 2002. As of 2014, 29 successful target captures were carried out. On February 21, 2008, the SM-3 missile launched from the USS Lake Erie (CG-70) missile cruiser in the Pacific Ocean hit the USA-193 emergency reconnaissance satellite at an altitude of 247 km.

          After arriving at the base site (Strelok Bay, Pacific Village, Pacific Fleet), the crew began preparations for a military campaign in the area of ​​the US missile defense test range at Kwajelein Atoll. However, this campaign did not take place. For a long time, the crew, even with the help of specialists from the Baltic Shipyard, could not fix the malfunction in the cooling system of the ship’s nuclear installation.

            "Ural", while still on the roadstead of Baltiysk, fonned like an Alladin lamp. But he was pushed out of harm's way to the inter-naval transition ... So, everything went on as usual: the state acceptance system was rotten and was ready to put signatures on documents on orders from above. Therefore, the Pacific Fleet accepted the sounding strategic reconnaissance officer into its composition without even making a sound.

To power all that gigantic radar facility, a megawatt power plant is needed. A conventional gas turbine is ill suited for these purposes - very powerful turbines are needed ...

          Well, Mr. Kaptsov is a populist. it is without a doubt!
          First, the prehistory of the appearance of the 1941 project (this is to anticipate any dreamers like "need not needed").
          In 1968, in the Strategic Missile Forces of the USSR, the R-36 missile system took up combat duty, in the enemy classification SS-9 "Scarp" (sharp) carrying 3 warheads of 2,3 MT each. The missile could successfully overcome enemy missile defense. That is, the Russians had a small northern fluffy animal in their hands! Our future "partners" of course responded to the rudeness of the Russians, starting in 1973 work on the creation of their little animal MX missile with 10 warheads of 300 CT each and very quickly, after some 13 years, put the first 50 missiles on alert.
          The fact is, dear friends, that the marine measuring complexes available at that time, namely "Academician Sergei Korolev", "Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin", "Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov", did not have the opportunity to control the Kwajalein atoll, where the rocket was tested. " friendly country ".
          Now directly about CER-33.
          In the absence of the USSR’s naval bases in this region, a ship was needed that could go indefinitely without refueling in neutral waters near the US coast and electronically cover American intercontinental ballistic missile bases and strategic airfields. But the capabilities of such a ship could be significantly expanded: it could collect comprehensive information about any subcosmic object. The task of the new air defense missile system was to fulfill the function of the advanced floating center for strategic missile defense of the USSR. The main "stuffing" of the Urals was electronic intelligence equipment with real-time processing of the received information. The Coral system included seven of the most powerful electronic complexes. To process the received information, a unique computer complex was mounted, consisting of two Elbrus computers, each of which performed up to 12 mil.operations per second. With the help of these supercomputers, it was possible to decipher the characteristics of any space object at a distance of up to 1,5 thousand km, determine the fuel composition of ballistic missiles by their exhaust gases and the composition of the thermal protection of nuclear warheads. The ship’s reconnaissance equipment included a “camera” with a lens diameter of about 1,5 meters.
          The greatest damage to the "Ural", oddly enough, was caused not by periodically arising fires, but by the law "On military duty" adopted in 1989 by the Council of Ministers of the USSR, according to which all "Pindjaks" were exempted from military service, and there were an overwhelming number of them in the "Urals" ! At one point, the ship was left practically without specialists, who could not be replaced by anyone. hi

              There is no mystery. At a straight * pointing finger * from above, the Dzhigits were sent to serve where there were no small arms and weapons of the ground forces. This was done in order not to train fighters with skills in handling weapons and knowledge of the basics of tactics of offensive / defensive combat of a detachment, platoon, company.

      1143 was designed as an anti-submarine cruiser and its tasks were appropriate. The change in classification and tasks performed, adopted in 1977, relates more to the third ship of Project 1143M. It was planned that on its board there will be, is the landing, heavy transport helicopters and the developed Yak-38P fighters.

      Yak-36, I think it’s worth starting with it, it was developed as a light attack aircraft and its mission did not include air cover for formations. The main goal was to be low-maneuverable targets, anti-submarine helicopters, AWACS aircraft, striking at enemy ships and the coastline.

        so if the "Russian foch" were built, the ship could also perform all the tasks described by you, but only much more efficiently. and 16 mih-29kub (or su-25) it would be much better to shoot down and bomb everything. plus 12 helicopters for plane or landing. the more the Yak-38 is absolutely incapable of performing the tasks described by you. how will it shoot down low-maneuverable targets without a radar? the more drills to which you still need to fly, and then break through the defense from f-14, 18? therefore, I also consider pr. 1143 to be an erroneous waste of time and resources that could have been usefully spent.

          “The flight-navigation and sighting equipment of the aircraft ensured the fulfillment of combat missions during the day in simple and difficult weather conditions over land and over the sea. In conditions of poor visibility, a short-range navigation indicator was used, operating from the Luch naval drive radar.
          The plane had only suspended weapons: air combat missiles R-60. unguided missiles in launch containers, 23 mm outboard cannon mounts, FAB-500 bombs and X-23 air-to-surface missiles.
          For firing at ground, surface and air targets on the Yak-38 mounted collimator sight ASP-PF-21. In addition to the fire control system, a Delta system unit was designed to control X-23 missiles. The maximum combat load during vertical take-off was 1000 kg. ”

          This aircraft was developed in the 60s and it was planned to release not a large number of combat training vehicles, but after the tests they decided to arm Project 1143 ships with them. A preliminary design for making this decision was already ready. It just happened to strengthen the aviation group. Initially, they did not intend to build an aircraft carrier. That was in 1969.

            In fact, in the USSR, deck ships were designed, for example, the MiG-23E8, and the full-fledged aircraft carrier "Soviet Union" at the design stage was supposed to be equipped with shipbuilders based on the same 23s. But another thing is that it was impossible to build a full-fledged aircraft carrier, primarily due to the lack of funds for a full support fleet, so they built a large ship that, like a goose, could do everything, but badly. With the entry into service of the new generation VTOL aircraft, the 1143 would no longer be so useless, there would remain one real drawback - a small radius of radar helicopters compared to full-fledged American AWACS

        Comrades, well, you at least read when and why they were created. And then immediately "under-carrier" or "under-cruiser." Everyone can offend, but objectively ....
        Originally conceived as an anti-submarine cruiser, further development of pr. 1123 Moscow.

        With the task of finding and detecting submarines, the cruisers of pr. 1143, or rather the flagships of the squad of ships, coped with "excellent".

        Government Decree No. 2-1968 of September 685, 251 adopted a joint proposal by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice Industry to start building anti-ship missiles "1143 Kiev" with aircraft weapons.
        The following tasks were assigned to the ships of this project:
        1. Covering ship formations from air strikes, their anti-submarine and anti-boat support;
        2. Ensuring combat stability of the SSBN Strategic missile submarine cruiser in combat patrol areas;
        3. Ensuring the deployment of submarines;
        4. cover for marine missile, anti-submarine and reconnaissance aircraft in the reach of naval fighter aircraft;
        5. search and destruction of enemy missile submarines as part of heterogeneous anti-submarine forces;
        6. defeat the enemy surface ship groupings;
        7. Ensuring the landing of naval assault forces.
        I focus on paragraphs 2 and 3.

        Only the lazy one does not speak about airplanes, well, and I’m too lazy ... .., but do not forget that, unlike American practice, the composition of the air group of the ship "1143 Kiev" was not constant and could change depending on the task. One option provided for 20 vertical take-off and landing aircraft and two rescue helicopters, the other - 20 anti-submarine helicopters and two rescue helicopters.

        Of course, a volley of 8 missiles is smaller than a volley of 16 missiles from Project 1164, and the cellar for reloading cruise missiles is somehow not very ... .. an additional volley ... I doubt something. But already at “Baku” we are observing 12 containers.

        I think for its time, project 1143 was still good.

        Yes, and in June 1977. all ships "1143 Kiev" were officially reclassified from anti-submarine cruisers to heavy aircraft carrier (aircraft carrier) cruisers - TAKR. Accordingly, their main purpose was formulated somewhat differently: now the role of the "1143 Kiev" ships was to "give combat stability to the SSBN Strategic Missile Submarine Cruiser, groupings of surface forces, submarine Submarine and MRA in the areas of combat deployment." That is, among the tasks of cruisers in the first place was no longer the hunt for enemy submarines, but, on the contrary, covering our submarines from enemy anti-submarine aircraft.

        And the project came to naught also due to the lack of a normal infrastructure. If there is no berth for the ship, and he is forced to stand on the roads (photo), then there will be nothing good ....

              As an attack aircraft, the Yak-38 Harrier-1 was significantly superior, but in the version of the fighter it was not - the Yak-41y was already made.

                  The maximum flight range of the sidewinder, BUT the real range of application for them with the P-60 is approximately the same, because everything rests on the sensitivity of the GOS, the ability to maneuver (when flying at ranges close to maximum, it will be no) and much more than that.

                  Regarding warheads, everything here is also not so simple, we must take into account not only the weight of the explosives, but also the type of warheads + again the capabilities of the missile itself (with a direct hit, a lower warhead can do more damage).

                  The Blue Fox Radar Ferranti had some drawbacks, primarily the lack of the ability to detect air targets against the background of the land / sea, and the power was rather weak.
                  So, Sidewinder missiles were most often used within the limits of visual visibility, and at such distances the P-60 was preferable (smaller, faster, more maneuverable, easier).

      At that time, we had no experience in building aircraft carriers. If someone thinks that an aircraft carrier can be built as easily as a cruiser, they are deeply mistaken. At that time, we had experience in building artillery cruisers 68 bis W 15-18000 tons, and Kiev already 40000 tons. If anyone paid attention to the heating mains, how they are laid with "zagulinami". This did not break them, and after laying on the ship initially straight (without bends), they began to tear. And Admiral Gorshkov gave an excuse to the Central Committee of the CPSU that aircraft carriers are weapons of the imperialists, the aircraft carrier is enough for us. Something like that.

      Oleg's article is controversial, as usual, but indicative enough. Again, if the Yak-141 project had not been hacked down, our same non-aviation carriers Minsk, Novorossiysk and others like them would have shown themselves from a completely different side. The Sea Harrier was not an outstanding machine at all, just our Yak-38s were even worse, frankly damp machines. A change in wing would have changed a lot in the tactics of using our aircraft-carrying cruisers.

            Of course, this shows the level of work of the Yakovlev bureau if the Americans borrowed something / bought documentation. On the other hand, it seems that the significance of the yak141 project for f35 is greatly exaggerated.

              The layout is not the presence of a fan, this is the assembly. Nodes are connected. For SKVVP layout is very difficult to achieve.
              Americans took without exception everything except the fan. Ventialtor from their old XV-5. Even the operation of this fan is controlled by the Soviet system.
              Access was not only to the documentation for the entire technology (and not only to the aircraft itself). Lokhidovtsy roamed around the factories and were obliged to provide advice if something was not clear to them.
              Despite this, it was necessary to subvert Yak in F on a subcontract to the surviving Russian specialists, both in the Russian Federation and in the USA (some even moved there temporarily, then almost all were thrown out).
              Then they almost exactly the same in the 90s sucked up almost the rest of the aerospace and defense.

          1. The most powerful jet engine is the NK-32 from the Tu-160, on the Yak-143 it was like that.
          2. The decrease in visibility on the F-35 is quite mediocre, very much spoils the aerodynamics and in itself, in comparison with the supersonic SCVVP-technology, which together with the aircraft was taken from the "Russians", there is nothing daunting.
          Russia has AFAR, they got it from the USSR, it was in the USA that they appeared on planes only after 2006 (even just a FAR). The Yak-41 is a 1978 aircraft.
          Is it so difficult to circle an airplane around a Go-Pro with IR cameras?

            We have all four bailouts
            were successful and not a single pilot
            was lost.
            Only in the United States ILC (in which
            about half of all were delivered
            serial "Harriers") since
            adoption in 1970 until the end

        The authors of some publications argue that the development of VTOL aircraft was the wrong direction, that they would never achieve the performance characteristics of conventional takeoff and landing aircraft. This is not entirely true. VTOL is an aircraft that has received new properties, and therefore new opportunities, compared to a conventional aerodynamic airplane. So, for example, the experience of the combat use of the AV-8В Harrier airborne combat helicopter showed that when using tactical helicopter tactics in close air combat, it is 2-3 times superior to the F / A-18 Hornet fighter-attack aircraft and F-14A " Tomcat ”, although in long-range combat loses to them with the ratio 1: 4.
        With the further development of the design of the Yak-41M type aircraft, the aerodynamic schemes gained the right to life, by implementing which you can get an aircraft that is not much inferior to an ordinary (classical) plane, but has several advantages. Such schemes were later to be implemented in aircraft such as the Yak-141M, Yak-43, etc. These schemes were presented at various exhibitions and published in a number of scientific and technical journals.
        In the projects of promising aircraft V / KVP worked out issues of increasing their combat effectiveness. To this end, it was proposed to follow in the direction of a significant increase in the combat range and time of locking in a given area, increasing the mass of the payload, increasing the range of weapons and improving fire control systems, reducing radar and infrared visibility. This is confirmed by the calculations, according to which the tactical and technical characteristics of the promising Yak-141М aircraft differ for the better in comparison with the Yak-141.
        When a path of development of a direction is broken, inevitably there is a slowdown in progress in science, technology and knowledge, a loss of scientific, technical and technological reserve, as well as trained personnel of scientists, designers, engineers and other specialists.
        At the beginning of the 1990-s, the accident of the Yak-41M aircraft was only a "clue" to curtail all work on the topic of creating new generation V / KVP aircraft. The supersonic Yak-41M was on the verge of future ocean voyages, which were prevented by the changed socio-political and economic situation in the country, which led to the collapse of the USSR and the failure to implement many plans for creating new-generation aviation systems

      There was no dead end, there was the development of a new type of technology. Everything once began, was ridiculous, the same first airplanes, later, jet aircraft.

      Well, here you see what’s the matter. In my understanding, it’s better to master the technique on prototypes, and not on combat units. But we hurried to say that we are no worse than the British, and their Harrier. I believe that the adoption of the Yak-38 and the 1143 ship system for them was an inadequately expensive experiment and a waste of money (but this is my opinion, nothing more). No complaints against sailors and pilots - they squeezed out everything they could from technology. But the Yak-141 is already a serious device, which actually (as I again think) had to wait, bringing to mind the experienced Yak-38 not starting their mass production, and even more so not building such expensive and complex ships for them. And the saddest thing is that when we got the Yak-141, we turned off the topic of VTOL. They achieved what they dreamed about, and nailed the direction. Although it’s precisely the Yak-141 that can already compete with conventional aircraft in many respects.

        I agree with you here, but depending on what is considered to be prototypes, the same Yak-38 was put into service after passing through a test cycle. The fact that the machine was far from perfect, so in fact, it was our first serial VTOL aircraft, even the Yankees did not create their first VTOL aircraft for the Marine Corps themselves, but bought a license for the Harrier from the Britons. At that time, there were two serial VTOL aircraft in the world, ours and the British. If you remember how jet aviation began, and even earlier aeronautics in general, you can find a lot of more crude and emergency models of aircraft, which did not prevent them from being mass-produced, being in service. As for the ships of project 1143, I personally think that it would be better, indeed, we were building UDC then than such aircraft-carrying cruisers, especially since the topic of VTOL aircraft could be developed on the UDC. But, there was then a policy when the word "aircraft carrier" in the USSR was a curse, "a weapon of imperialism" moreover, that nothing prevented later from converting these "half-aircraft carriers" into full-fledged aircraft carriers (like "Gorshkov" for the Indians) or, by a cheaper method, into the already mentioned UDC. Whatever it was, but without "Kiev" would not have come to "Ulyanovsk", and without the Yak-38 to the Yak-141. Convertoplanes and VTOL aircraft are developing and will continue to develop, improve, if our navels do not catch up with defense, we will lag behind here forever, and with the Yak-141 we were in the lead, having far ahead of us. No need to giggle at the F-35 and the "stupidity" of the Americans in this, it is high time to return to work on tiltrotors and VTOL aircraft.

          Not everything is so simple.
          The UDC was designed in the USSR, and more than once. Moreover, the UDC even got into the resolution of the Central Committee - and it was with the help of the UDC that "boots" and Amelko, who joined them, almost hacked down the construction of "the second ship of project 1143.4 (1143A)" (this was how the future "Kuzya" was denoted in a catchy way).

          If not for 1143, we would have had the "Eagle" 1160 or 1153. And we would have received a normal AV fleet. Without 4 expensive "successive approximations", which neither a candle nor a damn poker.

            Everything is so, Aleksey, but when I said that it would be better if we were building the UDC, I meant that instead of the first four "successive approximations", we would immediately build what later resulted in the UDC of project 11780. On this we would gain experience, moving on to full-fledged aircraft carriers. I am aware of the intrigues with the UDC that the slipways could take. It is a pity that it was only from Ulyanovsk that they came to a nuclear power plant, and not from Kuzi, as well as the fact that they did not immediately start with Ulyanovsk, if they were not ripe for an analogue of American nuclear aircraft carriers. Although, if we really regret here, then first of all, about the collapse of the great country, the Soviet Union. One can only guess where our scientific and technological development, the power of our country, and the fleet in particular, would come, instead of Gorbachev, come a strong personality, a true patriot and a wise leader.

      But there was lit up "Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin", a real-life research vessel designed to control spacecraft, to perform trajectory and telemetric measurements, to maintain communication between ground-based flight control points with the crews of spaceships and stations. The largest and most powerful ship in its class. Named in honor of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin by decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 112-41 of February 10, 1969.

      Built on the basis of the tanker pr. 1552, without nuclear reactors and unnecessary show-offs. Despite its solid dimensions, the Gagarin was a relatively simple and effective floating repeater, which coped with its task brilliantly. Tokam, like the ships of the measuring complex of the Navy, pr. 1914 ("Marshal Nedelin").

    It is possible that the creation of such products is just a fee for the development of scientific and technological thought. Something turns out, something is not, a natural course of evolution. Well, or the struggle for leadership, priority, budget, etc. That is an eructation of scientific and technological progress. But not without good. At least from the realization of a dead end branch of development. Although Canberra does not seem so absurd, because initially it was a landing ship, a little later - an aircraft carrier.
    You can still add candidates for absurdity, although, perhaps more correctly, for an unsuccessful weapon option for one reason or another.
    Artillery submarines from the British X1, the French Surkuf, the Japanese I 1-4, for example. Or an underwater aircraft carrier I400. Or water-related H4 Hughes or a super-giant ekranoplan of 550 tons of Alekseev.

          And then a hasty conclusion follows - they say they’ve got garbage.

          At the same time, the note does not really say anything about what was wrong with the ships, in terms of the possibility or impossibility of completing the tasks that were set before their creators?


          Of course, we are a little aware of the fact that "Alaska" turned out to be too big and, as a result, very much too expensive to operate.

    The absurdity of Virginia-class cruisers in the absence of a full-fledged helicopter hangar. In general, for the 70s, this series was not bad. "Aegis" also "killed" not only the "virgins", but also the cruisers of the Legi, Belknap, and Spruens-class destroyers. They instantly became obsolete and turned into scrap metal (that's where the destruction of the fleet took place, which exceeded our losses at times).
    P.S .: on account of pr.1143. On the basis of Spruyens, Americans developed (traced more precisely) on the topic Sea Control Ship - SCS aircraft-carrying cruisers of the type pr.1143 with a corner deck and based on VTOL aircraft and helicopters. This is a displacement of 9000 tons of Spruens! In fairness, for the sake of further drawings (unfortunately I can’t attach) they did not go, but gave birth to UDCs like Tarava and Vasp ...

    Deck aviation TAVKR - “aircraft mast top mast” Yak-38 with a 10-minute supply of fuel. A simple fact speaks of the combat capabilities of the Soviet “vertical bars” - they did not have radars. Detection of the enemy was carried out in a visual way, which in the approaching era of the fourth generation of fighters meant a sudden death in battle from a medium-range (long) long-range missile.

                      On vertical takeoff, the combat radius is less than 200 km. Well, on a short run - it will be more, but taking into account the fact that the first take-off to wait for the end - and so it will come out approximately.

                      Menne 200 is written for only one, the very first modification - for the rest there is no data.
                      Harrier-1 has even less (even less than 100).
                      And why vertical take-off in general, when you can take off like that? what
                      All SKVVP from the deck even with a short take-off take off much faster. Especially sit on it.

                        Not really, much depends on the size of the deck: for example, the same harriers need to teleport to the stern, while yaks can take off almost from the seridine. Well, on a normal aircraft carrier, you should put the plane right behind the one that is at the starting position (although if the gas shield breaks down it will be fun), well, plus the size of those. positions, etc. etc.
                        In general, if yaks from Kiev can rise faster than say the hornets, this does not mean that harriers from Invisible will also take off faster than the hornets. Well, + there is the number of finished aircraft on the deck (read the number of technical positions ...

                        Harriers that from Invincible (Giuseppe-Garibaldi, Cavura, Chakri-Naruebet, Juan Carlos, Canberra and other UDCs), and even more so from Tarav / Wops, take off much faster than F-18s, which lead to a catapult. But slower than the Yaki, especially the 41st. The number of technical positions is simpler and is better increased by the addition of one more deck nearby, preferably in an "anti-nuclear" order, because cluster bombs or warheads also cover it worse. what laughing

                        I didn’t specifically ask this question, but do hornets from 4 positions take off more slowly than harriers from 1? Well, another question arises: with 36 yaks on board a cretchet and 36 hornets on Nimitz, how many planes from each ship can simultaneously take off in 2 spheroconic situations (reflection of enemy aircraft attack and attack of a spheroconic target) + their take-off speed at different time intervals (i.e., in the case when the aircraft are in readiness at the starting positions and technical positions, and when the aircraft from the previous paragraph have already taken off). The same question is also true for carriers with carriers, I just do not know the number of aircraft on ships in this case. To clarify this issue, it is necessary to delve into the net and other sources for a long and tedious way and not the fact that there is an answer, so I propose to use in disputes only the take-off speed of only those aircraft that are on technical and starting positions.

                        Slower, and moreover, many times ... By the way, Harriers usually take off from two "ledges to the left".
                        Why 4 positions on the 1st deck if you can make the 1st position on four? And it is easier to build ships and will not burn / drown everything at once. More does not always mean better.

                        Well, I only compare existing ships (there are just 4 catapults on the Nazis), but the idea is interesting. In 30 years there were two-tier aircraft carriers, it would be necessary to refresh in memory why they did not take root. Although, probably, in this case there will be little length for the armored personnel carrier, and flying in half profiles limits the vertical capabilities.

                        Not two-tiered, but simply two small aircraft carriers near the take-off distance in its entire length.
                        The size is limited by an emergency horizontal landing in the catcher net "by plane" in fact. In combat, a shrapnel or a projectile can damage the flap of a conventional aircraft, which will increase the landing speed, the landing hook may not come out, or the gas-jet control system, which will make a vertical landing impossible. Or they may refuse due to a technical problem.

                        That is, an aircraft carrier for airplanes based now on the same supercarrier can make a maximum length in its corner deck (on which the same Superhornets sometimes crash into the network in a similar way) ...

        In the course of combat service, combat pilots acquired piloting skills in various geographic and climatic zones. On December 30, 1977, in the Bay of Biscay, Kiev pilots performed 10 flights to test their aircraft after a severe storm and commission young pilots. In the Mediterranean, the number of departures per flight shift reached 18, and this was not the limit. By the end of the year, 34 pilots were already flying into the regiment. During the cruise of "Kiev" from Severomorsk to the Mediterranean Sea and back in the period from December 15, 1978 to March 28, 1979, 355 flights were performed. I would especially like to note the accurate shooting of the pilots at the breaker target2. As a rule, it was destroyed from the first, in extreme cases, from the second call. The special team did not have time to launch new targets overboard to ensure live fire according to the planned table

        Just compare the nomenclature of ur ...
        Su-25 (Combat load (maximum) - 4340 kg at 8 (10) suspension units, normal load - 1340 kg)
        air-air R-3 or R-60
        air-surface 25ML X-X-C and 29L 25L
        Yak-38 (maximum - 1500 kg combat load, with GDP -1000 kg)
        air-air R-3 or R-60
        air-surface X-23

        The Kh-25 rocket (product 69) was created on the basis of the Kh-23 design, equipped with a 24N1 laser seeker developed by the Geofizika Central Design Bureau (chief designer D. M. Khorol)

        X-29L - a rocket of a different caliber, launch weight more than 600 kg
        S-25L - NAR remodeling under laser guidance
        The question of the absence of a laser guidance system on a light attack aircraft must be considered in the effectiveness of the use of the X-23 and X-25 missiles.
        If the Navy was satisfied with the effectiveness of the X-23, then the need to include in the nomenclature of weapons of the X-25 and the necessary sighting system disappeared.

        lack of ability to use precision weapons

        What in your understanding in 1974 could be a "precision" weapon in the SA nomenclature? And what characteristics of it should classify it as "high-precision" at that time?
        10 minute supply of hot

        Combat radius
        Su-25 at an altitude of 1250, near the ground - 750 km (take-off standards - 14600)

        If so, then the ground combat radius of a classic aircraft with a larger mass is 1,5 times greater than the SVPP 2 times.

    In general, military sailors had a great time by throwing tens of billions of full-weight Soviet rubles into the wind. The only positive news was that despite the overwhelming number of accidents, the loss of flight personnel was calculated in units. The Yak-38 forced bailout system compensated for all the shortcomings of this stupid attraction.


    The author scoffs at the tragedy. Either from ignorance, or for some other reason. The Yak-38 is a tragedy for the Soviet fleet, for all sailors and pilots. Those who flew them were not having fun, but were on the other side of life. They are all heroes. And suicide bombers. Real samurai. In Tikhookeansk and Severomorsk, there are two cemeteries for the fallen Yak-38 pilots. But often there was nothing to bury there. All that remained of the chief of flight safety was a helmet with a piece of skull. He was buried. My first lieutenant's impression of Texas was the funeral procession. Ahead they carried a small box, covered with red chintz; behind it, with bowed head, walked a young wife with two small children. That was the "attraction".

My uncle served just in the TEC of the air group, and then in the Omega Bay at the helicopter repair plant.

          Namely, in 1969-1972, the Nevsky Design Bureau carried out research work. An order for research and development on the military-economic substantiation of the creation and operation of the aircraft carrier pr.1160. In the framework of Project 1160, preliminary designs of a catapult, an aerofinisher, and an emergency barrier were completed. Under the preliminary project, more than 900 documents were issued, interaction with subcontractors was worked out. It was assumed that at the beginning of the design of Project 1160 in 1973, the first ship could go into operation in 1981. A series of three aircraft carriers from autumn 1973 to 1986.

    For the Urals alone, a fat minus to the ignorant author! No respect for domestic designers and engineers. If a person himself has not done anything in this life, then he cannot respect the work of other people. Without the Yak-38, there would have been no Yak-141! Although this does not tell you anything. The Urals, being in the Pacific Ocean, could control the entire territory of the United States! If our Ural is absurd, then why is the American "analogue", which appeared much later, is not absurd? Just because he's American, right?

    It’s one-sided, you, Oleg, approach to writing your articles. That's the only way.
    In the case of Canberra, the ship was built according to the customer's conditions. And if there is a bow springboard, then its presence implies the use in the future not only of helicopters. Have you thought about it? Moreover, Australia plans to purchase the F-35. Where is the "ugliness" ???
    In the case of "Gorshkov", is the presence of a kind of universal ship also "ugliness"? Another thing is that they could not create a sensible plane in time. And that's another story. And the large displacement turned out due to the need to accommodate the air group. Formally, the development of Project 1123. What's wrong with that? The ship was created for certain functions and it turned out so due to the presence of certain weapons at that time. This is also a different question. What do you think is such a concept flawed? It's just that sometimes you need to put yourself in the shoes of the people who lived and worked at that time! Then many things will become clearer. wink
    Nuclear cruisers of the Americans. They were created as an escort for nuclear aircraft carriers. But they miscalculated in service. A large ship is economically more profitable than a small one. Does that also make them "freaks"? Then the atomic "Leader" we are designing should be recognized as a "freak". Or not ????
    "Alaska" Well, yes, they did it with an American approach. But they were created to combat Japanese heavy cruisers. Consequently, they had thicker armor, larger artillery, and powerful machines capable of giving an adequate speed for size, which also ate up the percentage of displacement. And if there was a battle, where opponents would meet face to face with a predictable result? Then what, did the concept come true? And they would not be "white elephants". That is why, in your opinion, they are "ugly" because they did not sink a single Japanese cruiser! Although, to be honest, I don't like them either wink
    "Ural". What? It was created for specific purposes. Now we have different views of the world. Other ships. And earlier they were designing on the basis of what they had! They lagged behind in the development of electronics, received such ships. They did not lag behind in the development of electronics - there would be other ships!
    The bottom line! It is not necessary to consider as "ugly" that which cannot be understood during creation! Otherwise, ships without armor will soon begin to consider ships without armor as "ugly" ... feel lol
    Best regards hi
    PS At the end of your articles, in my opinion, you just need to add that this is your personal opinion, then the opinion of an individual person will be interesting to read and understand that this is just the opinion of an individual person, and not an affirmation of something smile

    Well, about the Yak-38

    According to TTT, "the Yak-36M light attack aircraft with vertical take-off and landing" was intended "for air support of combat operations of ground forces in the tactical and immediate operational depth of the enemy's location (up to 150 km from the front line), as well as when the aircraft is based on ships of project 1123 for the destruction of surface ships and coastal objects in naval operations and for conducting visual aerial reconnaissance. The main task of the aircraft is to destroy mobile, stationary ground and sea objects of the enemy in visual visibility. In addition, the aircraft should be used to combat air targets such as military transport aircraft and helicopters, as well as to combat AWACS aircraft and helicopters and anti-submarine aircraft. " The tactical and technical requirements for the training version were approved by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force for armaments M.N. Mishchuk on March 4, 1971.
    In the course of combat service, combat pilots acquired piloting skills in various geographic and climatic zones. On December 30, 1977, in the Bay of Biscay, Kiev pilots performed 10 flights to test their aircraft after a severe storm and commission young pilots. In the Mediterranean Sea, the number of departures per flight shift reached 18, and this was not the limit. By the end of the year, 34 pilots were already flying into the regiment. During the cruise of "Kiev" from Severomorsk to the Mediterranean Sea and back in the period from December 15, 1978 to March 28, 1979, 355 flights were performed. I would especially like to note the accurate shooting of the pilots at the breaker target2. As a rule, it was destroyed from the first, in extreme cases, from the second call. The special team did not have time to lower new targets overboard to ensure live fire according to the planned table.
    Tempting prospects were also opened by the theoretical possibility of operating the Yak-38 not only from aircraft-carrying cruisers, but also from civilian vessels - container ships and dry cargo ships. In order to test the practical feasibility of this idea, in September 1983, by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, for the first time in the USSR, the pilots of the combat unit of the naval aviation landed military aircraft on a civilian ship - the "Agostinho Neto" motor ship of the "RO-RO" type. The first to land on September 14, 1983 was the senior pilot-inspector Colonel Yu.N. Kozlov, who received a memorable address from the captain of the ship A. Latyshev for this. Colonel G.L. Kovalev, Lieutenant Colonels V.I.Kuchuev and V.N. Pogorelov landed behind it. Until September 29, 20 flights were performed. State tests (18 flights) were carried out by V.V. Vasenkov and A.I. Yakovenko from the Nikolay Cherkasov container ship. They showed that boarding a vessel of this type is very difficult due to the limited possible approach trajectories. Big problems were also caused by the tightness of the area (18x24 m), surrounded by ship structures, allocated for the landing of VTOL aircraft. However, the idea itself was not rejected, and in the future the possibility of using civilian ships as "mini-aircraft carriers" was not denied.

    The armament of the aircraft is suspended on four underwing pylons that can carry:
    guided missiles R-60, R-60M or Kh-23M (Kh-25MR) with a Delta-NG2 gondola;
    blocks of the UB-32A, UB-32M and UB-16-57UMP type with unguided missiles of the S-5 type;
    B8M-1 blocks with unguided missiles of the S-8 type;
    unguided missiles S-24B;
    bombs P-50Sh, OFAB-100-120, OFAB-100NV, OFAB-250-270, OFAB-250M-54, FAB-250-230, FAB-250M-62;
    one-time bomb cartridges RBK-250 GPAB-2 / 5M, RBK-500 ZAB-2,5SM, RBK-500 SHOAB-0,5M;
    incendiary tanks ZB-500;
    unified cannon containers UPK-23-250;
    filter gondolas of the K-513D type;

    In general, military sailors had a great time by throwing tens of billions of full-weight Soviet rubles into the wind.

    I think that it is not so much the sailors who "had fun" as the country's top leadership !!! The appearance of the Tavkr and the Urals is a strategic erroneous decision made at the very top ... Such decisions usually lay the direction of entire branches of the military-industrial complex for decades to come. Someone at the top got carried away with economy in one industry and gigantomania in another and decided to spend more money on the construction of nuclear submarines and save on aircraft carriers ... So the result is "hybrids - semi-aircraft carriers, semi-cruisers" and "super-reconnaissance" ...

    TAVKRs may have been unsuccessful as aircraft carriers, but as carriers of anti-submarine helicopters were at their best. And the aircraft carriers of the USSR were unnecessary, unlike the Americans, who carried aggression through the "big puddle" (for the same reason, for example, there was a significant difference in the number of the USSR and US marines). But anti-submarine defense was (and remains) very relevant.
    The Ural first of all fell victim to the consequences of the "stormy" anti-state activities of the political leadership of the USSR in the mid and late 80s.

    2) what the author wrote refers to 1143.1-4 all the criticism refers not to the ship, but to the Yak-38 aircraft. What does the ship have to do with it? modify our Yak-141 and most of the "flaws" would disappear.
    In addition, it is a lie that the YAKs could not take off with a short run. Yes, there was no springboard, but a short run was introduced and allowed to increase the load capacity by 1000-1100 kg.

      In 1143, the problem was not in the Yak-38. The problem was the artificially shrunken nomenclature of aircraft of the air group. Without the same AWACS aircraft - even the Yak-141, even the Su-35, land on the deck, and the air defense capabilities will be several times less than those of an AB with an AWACS.

      Further, let's say we replaced the Yak-38 with the Yak-141. Will our AB with such an air group be able to fulfill the standard task of the USA AUG - striking a ship group at a distance of 600 miles? With covering the strike group from the air and providing its actions with electronic warfare equipment?

            In general, simplifying Project 1143, this is primarily an "anti-submarine" ship. His task was, first of all, to cover the areas of deployment and access to the positions of our submarines. And in this context, its armament, both naval and aviation, is completely adequate. He could drive frigates and "Vikings" with Orions just like an elephant in a china shop. Do not forget this for the conditions of that time.

              Which of the deployment areas? And even here, even in the 80s, the SSBN were on duty off the coast of a likely enemy - remember the boat of Britanov.

              As for the "Orions" with the "Vikings" ... the first one can come alone. But it is hard to believe in a single "Viking" - this machine (in the 70s) is part of the AB strike-anti-submarine or anti-submarine wing. And in general, it is difficult to imagine that a breakthrough to the areas of deployment of our submarines would do without AUG. So the enemy of 1143 in this case will be a full-fledged AB.

              In fact, even in the conditions of that time 1143 could cover the deployment and access to the positions of our submarines only within the radius of their coastal aviation. Isn't it easier to drive Orions in this area right from the shore?

                    And with the same, and the combat radius of Hornet is about the same - 1065 km.
                    For the Yak-141, if it is less than 15 km, for the MiG-29 - another 30. Less than 1000 km only for field modifications. And if Hornets have to wait for each other for a long time when collecting a group, then SCVVP take off and land much faster. And in the event of a sinking or fire on an aircraft carrier that is "hooked", the Hornets will have nowhere to land. sad

                    The meaning of this small difference in radius is that classic deck aircraft should withstand large vertical and horizontal (from the hook) overloads. But the NKVVP is not needed - it sits softly, just like a helicopter or an airfield plane on a large runway. This strengthening of the design of aircraft landing in an arrestor is to the detriment of their aerobatic performance and possible fuel supply. Unlike the MiG-29, the F-18 also has an unregulated air intake, for example ...

The main task 141, as before, was to be air defense units, everything else - according to the situation. There is an analogy with the su-34: it seems that it can carry medium-to-short-range air-to-air missiles and conduct a relatively effective air battle, but its main task is to strike at ground targets ...

    Here some talked about the Yak-38 and how bad it is ...

    How can it be bad if he got the design from the Yak-36, and the Yak-38 was released to work out decisions on the Yak-36 program so that all official grandmas would not be buried in the ground at the end of the Yak-36 program.

    The Yak-36 generally appeared due to the fact that the foreigners were carrying out design work on the charriers, and ours took a look and created a barely fit in weight and thrust engine for installing GDP in the aircraft ...

    The Yak-36 was a purely experimental machine, which took many years to create a general aircraft GDP. Its useful reincarnation of the Yak-38 could only appear after the vertical take-off engine created and tested on the Yak-36 could modernize and increase its power. Anyway, the Yak-38 was created thanks to the appearance of the ships of the project 1143 strike and defense ships with a small aviation wing to protect against submarines ...

    Since the USSR economy was not rubber, the territory was huge, and the strategy was designed for defense, the USSR spent colossal headstock on land resources, for the defense of its own borders and naval means of deterrence. Ships 1143 appeared as a result of scientific research in several areas during the Vietnam War when the United States used aircraft carriers as well. Since the country needed 1123 ships to protect, but the Yak-36 was touched, it was decided to create an advanced generation of helicopter carriers with auxiliary aviation weapons. Since the main task was 1143 to protect their own waters, as a result they were not very large, they received full-fledged weapons and boiler turbine plants, all the more so this option close to the aircraft carriers was shoved to stake out a place for the future creation of aircraft carriers based on 1143 helicopter carriers. At the same time in the USSR, universal DK 775 series are being created, for the support of which ships of the 1143 series with the Yak-38 would fit perfectly.

    As a result, the Yak-38 essentially performed the functions of a light attack aircraft of the Su-25 type, since in the USSR there were no normal long-range air-to-ground missiles, and the engines were weaker than on the Su-25, he did not receive radar and reservations although the radius with unguided missiles was quite acceptable 450 km. Later, when they tried to update it by installing a radar, it was necessary to remake almost the entire aircraft, because it was necessary to change the engine to a more powerful one with a change in weight distribution, which required the creation of a new airframe and electronics. Actually, since the ships of Project 1143 were anti-submarine for their own defense, and the Yak-38 was an appendage to helicopters, there was simply no reason to remake them. For these purposes, another Yak-141 aircraft was simply created, for the designed Ivan Tarava, where he could fully be realized ...

    When the USSR needed full-fledged aircraft carriers, full-fledged versions of the Su-25 and Su-33 aircraft were developed to gain air supremacy and work on ground targets, and the carrier based on project 1143 was also doped for them. And still, even projects 1143.5 were defensive, therefore, they developed purely as a continuation of previous helicopter carriers.

    For the offensive, the project 1143.7 was to become a full-fledged aircraft carrier, but it did not work out ...

    Therefore, it is funny when someone says that they were aircraft carriers, the 1143 first revisions were generally scattered defensive helicopter carriers to work out the backlog of shipbuilding and aviation that had accumulated at that time and nothing more.

    In general, it is extremely sad that the Yak-141 blueprints were sold to amers, with the modern economy of the Russian Federation, it was unrealistic to build and maintain full-fledged aircraft carrier connections, but UDC-type surf with the functions of guarding the Mi-28 and Yak-141 in order to assault and support the landing of the Russian Federation It would be quite drawn ...

      Yak-41 is a fighter and not a ground attack aircraft.
      The Yak-36 was not an experimental aircraft - it just did not go into production. LTH look at it properly. When taking off with a short mileage, then everything was fine with them.
      The problem is to land the plane, especially if it is an ultra-short strip or a deck of limited size.
      Test aircraft were Bell X-14 and Rolls-Royce "TMR"
      Does Harrier look like a prototype? The problem with the Yak-36 was that it had two marching engines (one powerful which then stood on the Yak-38 was still in development, but it could be put on the Yak-36).

          The Yak-36 was created in 6 copies, or more ... For even an ordinary plane can be easily launched with a short take-off, Difficulties with short / vertical landing (see the 3rd minute) on a landing pad or runway of limited size.

            The Yak-36 was not an experimental aircraft, because it was already proved on the basis of 1127 that it was possible to make a GDP aircraft, at a time when the Anglo-Saxons were making prototypes of the Harierra (I emphasize the word "experienced" for those who do not know, these are pre-production aircraft for working out solutions and design documentation, which, in case of non-compliance with the requirements or difficulties, simply may not go into series, after several created samples / prototypes) in the USSR, in order to catch up with the Anglo-Saxons, the prototypes of the Yak-36 were immediately muddied (since no one in the USSR could really say about the prospects of these samples), on which the GDP technologies were worked out, on this he died ...

            "As a Yak-141 fighter, due to its versatility, it is worse." - what does it mean worse ??? It can't be worse, it's like a shovel or a bayonet shovel - they are simply different and for different tasks, none of them is worse than the other. Airplanes are the same, they are for different tasks, and their characteristics change to meet specific needs ...

            I don’t know about any Yak-41 and their fantasy predecessors because I saw only the live Yak-141, and to it guided missiles for air targets, bombs and unguided missiles that are used on ground targets ...

            "For even an ordinary plane is easily launched with a short take-off run" - of course it starts, only one needs 0 meters, another 500 and the third 3000 m ...

            How is "mazahism with perversion" connected and aircraft not intended for landing and takeoff from fucking short runways and aircraft with GDP, for example, Osprey and Harier? As they planted hercules in advertising, you can also plant 747, make a wrong loop in the air and do not level the plane at the exit from it, but straight at full speed with the nose into the ground, but no one can surpass in the length of the run along the lane with approach ...

              The Yak-36 was in a state of readiness for serial production in the troops. Then, when the powerful engine was ready to replace the previous two through the Y-fork, an order was received to remake it in the Yak-36M more similar to the VFW-Fokker VAK 191 B ... Because then the British were actually catching up, and also because the Yak- 36 in the long run, as would Harrier, it would be difficult to become supersonic.

              At the expense of the shovels, let others explain those who know how to use them, and the Harrier-FA fighter has a smaller wing than the AV-8B (boiled with the Harrier-GR), with the same load as the Harrier-FRS.1

              Of the non-fantasy predecessors, besides the Yak-41, there were also the Yak-39 (radar) and the Yak-38M (marine). Aircraft Yak-40 - civilian kakbe, does not count. Guided air-to-surface missiles were still on the MiG-23, not like the MiG-29.

              35m is enough for anyone if the glider can withstand overload.

    Another article by Mr. O. Kaptsov is pure trolling in relation to the sailors of our fleet. I do not consider the technical side of the ships in my comments. As it turns out, there are more than enough specialists here. I will only write about the moral. For "Ural" I can not say anything, I have not seen it, and I am very far from intelligence. But for the absurdity according to Kaptsov for our ships, etc. 1143, I can say that it is difficult to come up with more dirty attacks. Not having served in the navy for a day to write all sorts of nonsense about ships, well, it's even fashionable nowadays. Fortunately, scoop everything from the Internet Wikipedia, like from a trash heap. whatever, and the "people" who "grab it", as you can see, will always be found. Obviously, for a huge number of minuses, this flatters his sick vanity. And, nevertheless, those who served in our fleet at the time of these ships were very proud that there are such ships in our fleet and very much hoped that they would develop into the construction of real aircraft carriers with horizontal take-off with catapults. Just give me a time! Yes, this would be our first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Ulyanovsk" if the course of history had not changed dramatically. And without comprehending, designing, building and operating the "Kiev" and its sisterships, nothing would have happened in the future. Those who did not serve on these ships looked with quiet envy at those officers who had a bird with an anchor spread out in flight on their jackets on their right side in clawed paws made of gilded thread. We understood perfectly well that our science and industry had invested in these ships all the best that was in our country. And so it was. And the modern insinuations of new-made "specialists" are stupid and immoral. I am deeply convinced that such commanders of these ships as Gokinaev, Yasnitsky or Sanko would have challenged the author of this article to a duel, and the officers from these ships would have simply cleaned their beaks for Mr. Kaptsov for a sweet soul. I have the honor!

    Dear Scraptor! You would, in an amicable way, indulge in your thoughts on some of your American website. But I will still answer you. You, like many here, are trying to drag a ship, sharpened for the tasks of those years and a completely specific enemy, into the tasks of today and a completely different enemy. Namely: these ships were indispensable participants in the OS RUS (operational formation of heterogeneous strike forces) and anti-ship missile weapons were vital to the fight against the aircraft carrier forces of the NATO Navy. Since before the Soviet Navy, one of the first tasks with the beginning of the war was the task of combating the enemy aircraft carrier forces. But this is already from the field of operational art. From the pilots of these ships, with whom I personally had to communicate on "Kiev" and "Baku", I have never heard that the RK launchers somehow interfered with them. But the island, this one, yes, interfered. But without him, such a ship can not. I would also like to add for modern military experts that these ships had the most powerful FKP (flagship command posts), striking the imagination with their size and richness of control facilities suitable for controlling all the forces of the fleet at sea. And yet, it somehow did not reflect here, but these ships carried even the most powerful anti-submarine missile weapons, which were simply not available on other projects of our ships. Therefore, these ships were completely universal. The Indians now have different tasks at sea, and the time is different, and the methods of armed struggle at sea have changed. And there are some Hindu arguments too. Therefore, these launchers with anti-ship missiles, they apparently do not need anything.

      The trouble is that the Basalt's firing range is shorter than that of the AUG air wing. While the 1143 approaches the launch range, the Intruders accompanied by the Prowlers and Hornets will visit it more than once. How will we fight back? "Wave" and "Volkhov"? Or P-60 with Yak-38?

Structurally, attack aircraft and PLO aircraft are part of the AB air wing, which undoubtedly organizes cover for them from full-fledged fighters. Or even send out a clearing team.
          And instead of drive anti-submarine and reconnaissance aircraft, Yak-38 will be thinking about how to dodge the RVV, which they will shoot from outside the range of the R-60.

      The anti-ship missiles (and everything else) could be placed on a dry cargo ship or in another "Moscow" next to it.
      There was no need for pilots to go there (especially when they launched anti-ship missiles), so they didn’t interfere. And from the first two positions, Yaki would be blown away (as with all of modern Kuznetsov). With the invention of TV cameras and periscopes, an island on a ship on which there was nothing but aviation was no longer needed.

    For Alexey RA! Let me remind you, or explain, OS RUS is called OS RUS because, in addition to surface strike ships, it also included MPA and spaceplark connections, which were the main striking force, and then the NKNK. Of course, various options for the use of our weapons were laid down and calculated in the decision to battle the OS RUS, including the possibility of covering our forces from the air of the Air Force IA from our coastal airfields. And, of course, the tactical capabilities of attack aircraft of the enemy and his other forces and means. Therefore, it’s not right to reason like that just like you. The second one. Yes, even 1134A / B.

    I remember that the phrase "aircraft-carrying cruiser" was chosen as a forced measure, since under international maritime law, the passage of aircraft carriers through the Turkish straits is prohibited.

    There were no such prohibitions. The ban was only on the use of aircraft during the passage of the straits. In addition, many provisions of the convention did not apply to the Black Sea countries ...
    But the fact that our political leadership, starting with Khrushchev, considered aircraft carriers to be a weapon of aggression is clear. And suddenly calling a new ship - an aircraft carrier - that would be politically incorrect

    No. All available resources were used in the development of the "Eagle" theme. And 1143 is the result of cutting off a normal aircraft carrier with MO boots.


    You are not right. Etc. 1143 was never designed as an aircraft carrier. It is the logical development of anti-submarine cruisers of helicopter carriers of the type Moscow in the direction of greater universalization and expansion of capabilities of airborne aircraft.

      Speaking about circumcision AB, I had in mind the topic AB in the Navy of the USSR as a whole, and not specifically the design of 1143.

      1143 is the result of cutting off the normal AB in the sense that instead of the normal 1160/1153, these aircraft carriers of the Kyrgyz Republic had to be built.

    The sailors scolded the Yak-38, they said that this was just self-indulgence. "Do you know the nickname Yak-38? Peacemaker. It could either be fully fueled or carry weapons. It had a ridiculous combat range and had no radar - only unguided weapons. In good weather, it could not take off. The Americans knew that if" Minsk "he came with helicopters, then he will do business, and if with yaks, he will be tormented by foolishness and can be ignored." - almost literally.

      And they did not scold helicopters? Guided weapons were. Such a nickname was his predecessor. All he could. When the ship came with Yaki, they were going to see it, because they didn’t have such an airplane yet (later they copied English unlicensedly).

      Don’t tell me fairy tales - I served them ... Unlike Harrier, a yak could just take off vertically with full tanks and combat load. The thrust-weight ratio allowed. It was hard to pilot them with a full load - that's why they were not refueling for training flights.

    By the way (here I will add IMHO) personally, it seems to me that just the concept of TAKRs was optimal in those days and even more optimal in modern conditions.

    1) It was unrealistic to build full-fledged AUGs in quantities comparable with the USA for the USSR and even more so for the Russian Federation - and the 1-2 ships still did not solve anything. We cannot quantitatively catch up with superiority either.

    2) In addition to actually confronting other AUG, our fleet has no tasks for them. There is no such number of "overseas territories" to project the force on them ... And we cannot project all of the same on the "main enemy" - see paragraph 1.

    3) TAKR - a heavy universal combat unit that is able to both provide support (combat stability) of lighter forces and act in a "single" mode to solve local problems. Changing the composition of the airborne wing depending on the goals. PLO, air defense, AWACS connections. (I am aware that we do not have the required aircraft in the series - but they were created in due time and can be developed and refined today - especially if we take into account the capabilities of modern UAVs). The aircraft carrier does not require an entire squadron to ensure its combat service, this simplifies and reduces the cost of its operation.


    Modern TAKR is 25-30 with a tonnage of displacement (possibly a catamaran scheme) - an angular flight deck with the deployment of an air group in the 10-15 WRC + UAV DRLO and reconnaissance + helicopters (PLO and TD) with placement under the UVP PKR-ZRK deck.

      The modern aircraft carrier is a 120-200m long conversion vessel of the "Atlantic Causeway" type with a continuous flight deck (it can be specially built for the best maximum speed). There is no need for him to go in solitary, for his protection of NK and nuclear submarines the fleet already has.

    It is a pity that my respected Oleg Kaptsov, who always wrote interesting and informative articles about the fleet, suddenly gave birth to such an article.
    Although, I think that it is worth changing the name and everything will fall into place, at least with regard to Soviet ships and Canberra. At least - "Ships, whose capabilities were not able to properly use."
    However, the aircraft carriers and the Urals should still be excluded from this list. TAKRs were used for their intended purpose, taking into account their capabilities. I myself served in the mid-80s in Novorossiysk: they went out alone to "drive" Midway across the Sea of ​​Japan. They did not go far from the base - the range of the Basalts was quite enough for the entire sea from the Tatar Strait to Tsushima. Just do not think that we were heroes, and the command was idiots. From the shore we had cover and all the necessary information from ground-based radars.
    I know less about the Urals, but more recently I watched an interview which talked about the Urals. The general meaning is that they managed to use the unique technique only once during the inter-naval transition to the Pacific Fleet. And then with the collapse of the Union, the tasks for which a unique complex was created became irrelevant. Now, it seems like he is needed again, but alas - already stolen. And there is nothing to replace it with.

    I never received answers from the author to questions ..
    Do you think that a helicopter and VTOL aircraft are essentially equal in nature to their aircraft?
    Do you consider the implementation of a helicopter and VTOL in metal to be comparable in complexity?
    Do you consider the complexity of the task of placing a helicopter and an aircraft (even VTOL) a ship?

    Well, about weapons ("high-precision") and about 10 minutes ...
    And for a "snack" A-4 was in service with the US Navy until 2003 ... Where is the "precision" weapon? !!!!
    One of the destinations of the A-4 was to deliver short-range nuclear weapons, but in the end, almost 3000 manufactured aircraft solved many other tasks.
    Armament: two 20-mm guns Mk.12 with 200 rounds per gun.
    The combat load - 2268 5 kg hardpoints
    3x 907 kg bombs Mk. 84, 9 454 kg bombs Mk. 83,
    14x 227 kg bombs Mk. 82,
    3 containers SUU-23 / A with M61A1 gun with 1200 rounds,

    All of these "ridiculous" ships
    relate to the period of the cold war.
    Cold is better than hot, but tested
    ships only in hot wars. And it may turn out that
    the ridiculous and ugly ship is the most useful, and the "logical" handsome
    drowns in five minutes.

    The author measures all by himself. The author of the article, a man who is poor in mind, is not given to understand that many points in science cannot be understood until you try to touch them. All of these ships, regardless of whether they were used or not, left their contribution to world shipbuilding. Their experience is taken into account in the future. The author - a couch analyst - is simply angry with the whole world for not sitting in the design chair and raking in fame and money, he is angry that he has no place other than his own sofa and keyboard.

    A nuclear power plant on surface combat ships has long proved its worthlessness,

    The main thing is that you don’t tell the Americans this. Otherwise, they were very happy that ships with nuclear propulsion, unlike ships with traditional power propulsion, can make long journeys at speeds close to maximum..

    And out of such joy they cut up all their nuclear cruisers a long time ago)))
    They install a nuclear reactor on their aircraft carriers due to the presence of steam catapults, the operation of which causes malfunctions in the operation of the ship’s conventional power plant.
    This conclusion was made based on the example of the operation of a series of aircraft carriers such as Kitty Hawk and America (8 units), the latter was decommissioned in 2007.
    In addition, catapults use steam with a T of 280C, which is not very good for GTZ. For this reason, a nuclear reactor produces (saturated) steam, which is also bad for steam turbines.
    So, nuclear power plants are a compromise.
    And the autonomy of ships with nuclear power plants is no different from other ships, usually 50-70 days, including nuclear submarines.
    Let me remind you that the US Navy AUG includes many more ships with conventional power plants.
