From aircraft carrier to maritime mobile airfield complex

200

Current discussion

The US Navy in its modern shipbuilding program is guided by the experience of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, which shows that aircraft carriers have two significant advantages over real airfields - mobility and independence [4].

Carriers can be quickly transferred to the region in which the threat is growing. Unlike aviation coast-based, carrier-based aviation allows you to quickly build up military power in the region. Using aircraft carriers, it is possible to provide a demonstration of power in a short time, projecting it as much time as necessary. Neither the Air Force nor the army provide such an opportunity. Carriers allow operations without the need to obtain the right to use the territory and airspace of other states.

Regarding the issue of building aircraft carriers for the Navy, we are witnesses to a protracted and unobvious decision. There are two main, absolutely polar points of view: “Naval the fleet Russia does not need aircraft carriers at all ”and, on the contrary,“ without the inclusion of aircraft carrier groups in our Navy, it will be impossible to ensure reliable protection of Russian maritime borders during a future war ”[1]. In the ongoing discussion, it is important that each side expresses views that contain attractive judgments, regardless of their position.

Pro et contra

The article [1] contains the following fragment: “... a fleet deprived of aircraft carriers is pressed to the coast line, since it can receive air cover only from coast-based aviation ... the removal of the line of defense of sea lines farther from the coast using its own aircraft carrier forces cheaper and more efficient than equivalent in capabilities to strengthen the coastal defense and coastal fleet. " It emphasizes the most important thing in deciding on the significance of aircraft carriers for Russia - the removal of the line of defense of sea lines further from the coast.

The superiority of the supporters of the aircraft carrier idea and a practical shift towards its realization has been noted on the basis of giving the perspective aircraft carrier, according to the classification of the US Navy, a heavy aircraft carrier. We are talking about an aircraft carrier, similar to the lead aircraft carrier of the new generation Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), which should be part of the US Navy in 2015 year. He is, according to the advertising classification of the US Navy, a supercarrier, which has the most practically achievable characteristics of ships of this class. The cost of the ship is estimated at 12,3 billion dollars. Gerald Ford carriers will be able to provide up to 270 sorties per day (120 on Nimitz aircraft carriers).

“Military Review” [2] gives some information about a possible program to build a supercarrier: “There is a message that the Krylov State Research Center received an export-design passport for a project of a promising aircraft carrier with a displacement of about 100 thousand tons, capable of carrying about a hundred aircraft of various classes and types. The air group will have to include the deck modification of the T-50 fighter, Ka-32 helicopters, long-range radar aircraft, etc. At the expense of a number of know-how, it is claimed, the promising aircraft carrier will be able to provide aviation operations even in a storm. The construction of a new aircraft carrier could cost 10 – 12 billion dollars and will continue for at least 10 years. ”

It is important to note here that the full value of an aircraft carrier is determined by the large number of aircraft wings, the ability to receive DRLO airplanes and to ensure flight operations under storm conditions. All these qualities are achievable only for heavy aircraft carriers with a displacement of the order of 100 thousand tons.

In a further controversy, with reference to Sergey Ischenko’s article “Russia will overthrow the future aircraft carrier” [2], doubts are expressed in the realism of this project. The fact is that to ensure the take-off of DRLO airplanes, an aircraft carrier must have launching catapults. However, our Navy does not have and has never had such equipment. In addition, for the construction of such a ship need a dock of appropriate size, which is now missing.

In practice

Nevertheless, approximate terms of performance of works are already defined and announced. Around 2030 a year or later, the combat strength of the Russian Navy could be replenished with a new aircraft carrier. Opponents of an aircraft carrier idea see an alternative to carrying out the line of defense of the sea frontiers farther from the coast in the use of other forces. Thus, Alexander Khramchikhin, deputy director of the Institute for Political and Military Analysis, is of the following opinion: “... moving the air defense, anti-tank and anti-aircraft defense milestone a few hundred miles from its shores ... much cheaper and more efficiently can be solved by developing and improving the air force, air defense, coastal SCRC and underwater fleet". It is emphasized that aircraft carriers with such a variant of their use will be "disposable products" [1].

In this controversy and in supporting a positive point of view, the most important is the opinion of the decision-maker, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Viktor Chirkov: “We need an aircraft carrier not from yesterday and today, but a really promising ship, surpassing all existing ships of this class. This is our strict requirement for the industry, and we will not give up on it ”[1].

At the moment

In this regard, it should be noted that at present, the US Nimitz-type heavy aircraft carriers are modernizing Forrestal-type aircraft carriers (CV-59) developed in the second half of the last century. And even the creation of a new series of heavy aircraft carriers such as Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) will not make fundamental qualitative changes in the previously developed concept. Thus, the development of aircraft carriers is currently on an extensive path, which is expressed mainly in the growth of displacement, has reached its possible limit.

In Russia, attempts to create aircraft carriers are reduced, as follows from the above review, to copying solutions developed by the United States. It is known that attempts to overtake the leading side by symmetrically copying other people's decisions put the overtaking in a deliberately disadvantageous position. In this regard, a fundamentally new, asymmetrical approach should be sought to avoid this. Could it be possible, in accordance with the main task of the aircraft carriers in “pushing the line of air defense, air defense and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft services for a few hundred miles from their shores,” to solve the problems of building heavy aircraft carriers in a different, unconventional way?

As a result, there are:


1) political will to implement the carrier idea;

2) the lack of alternativeness of the idea of ​​the need to "move the line of air defense, PLO and PDO a few hundred miles from its shores";

3) the difficulty of building heavy aircraft carriers, including for reasons of the lack of a dock of appropriate size and launching catapults for aircraft carrier equipment;

4) the idea of ​​solving the problem of building heavy aircraft carriers in a different, unconventional way.

New idea: foreign version

Meanwhile, there are ideas that, when implemented, have the property of a qualitative leap. The article "Battle Island" [5] expressed the following considerations. “Experience in the construction of super-large vessels and deep-sea drilling platforms convinced designers of offshore facilities that it is possible to build a floating offshore base by connecting individual self-propelled modules ... Joint Mobile Offshore Base JMOB will be a complex of modular self-propelled platforms, each approximately the size of 300 on 150 m, about 35 m in height ”(Fig. 1).

From aircraft carrier to maritime mobile airfield complex

Fig. 1. How JMOB is arranged

“Platforms could cross the ocean at speeds of 15 nodes (28 km / h). For a month, the entire structure can be assembled anywhere in the world. Each of the platforms (module) will apparently be a semi-submarine vessel. When traveling to their destination, they will sail. But having reached the place, they will accept ballast to provide greater resistance to excitement. Five modules, lined up in a row, will allow any modern aircraft (in particular, C-17) to take off and land even during the 6 category storm - wind at 25 nodes (46 km / h) and waves with a height of 5 m. Inside the structure will carry payload The 5 modular platform can accommodate 3,5 thousand vehicles, 5 thousand cargo containers and 150 aircraft. Each structural element must be designed for 40 years. ”

The core of this idea was the monograph [3]. It provides the rationale for the above JMOB characteristics. The summary states that the JMOB is the largest floating structure ever built, a revolutionary improvement in the current sea-based forces and assets, the elimination of most of the identified deficiencies.

The JMOB architecture is based on technologies for creating offshore offshore structures - mobile oil platforms. "This will be the island of the sovereign territory of the United States within each region that can maneuver in a winning position in international waters, ensuring containment and strengthening stability, a tool for all elements of national power."

These publications indicate the emergence of a new innovative idea, the singularity of which consists in the unconventionally large weight and size characteristics of a floating offshore base - a sea mobile airfield.

The significance of the new idea for Russia

At first, revolutionary positions are always unaccustomed, illogical, and even absurd from the point of view of common sense and established views. Let's solve these issues at the level of principles, ideas and ideas of the broadest plan ... The naval forces of the USA, Great Britain and France, the countries of undoubtedly maritime civilizations that have a coast facing the oceans, aircraft carriers are needed to project their power on transport communications and regions of their economic and military political interests.

Not for Russia. Yes, we are also focused in our interests on the World Ocean - the main arena of creating the infrastructure and the world economy of the future. But that’s the end of it. Let us ask ourselves a simple and obvious question: what is the character of the seas, the water areas washing the shores of Russia in which the Navy operates, and what are the connections of these areas with the oceans? The answer is obvious: the Black, Baltic, Okhotsk and Caspian seas are purely inland. Their sizes generally fit in circles of a radius of 500 km (Fig. 2).


Fig. 2. Sizes of the internal seas of Russia

Consequently, for the aviation support of air defense, anti-tank defense and anti-pillar air defense, etc. The water area and the forces of the fleet in the internal seas are necessary and sufficient coast, which is potentially a huge and comprehensive aircraft carrier with a runway deck, stretching for thousands of kilometers.

In addition, the Baltic and Caspian seas are excluded because of the difficulty or impossibility of passage from outside. On the Black Sea, due to favorable geopolitical changes, Russia acquired the Crimean peninsula, which is better than any superavian carrier. It is of interest primarily to push the line of defense in the northern (Barents and Norwegian Seas) and eastern directions (Bering Sea).

For aviation support of air defense, PLO and PDO, etc. water areas and fleet forces in the adjacent seas, such as the Barents, Norwegian and Bering, preferably a combination of the coast in the above-mentioned quality and advanced mobile airfield complexes, ensuring the removal of the line of defense of the sea lines farther from the coast. Being deployed, for example, in the geometric centers of the adjacent seas that have access to oceanic theaters, sea-based mobile aerodrome complexes will provide a solution to the task of “pushing the line of air defense, PLO and PDO a few hundred miles from their shores.”

Sea mobile airfield complexes will be:

- a deck providing the basing of any aviation, electronic and rocket technology for any purpose and reach;

- a deck providing an air presence on a permanent basis, without carrier maneuver.

Provided logistic support and service on a rotational basis, they will be able to continuously perform the functions of the advanced line of air defense, PLO and PDO literally for decades.

The economic evaluation of the cost of creating a platform shows that when using a cheaper and more technologically advanced structural material - reinforced concrete, its cost, despite a considerable displacement, is comparable with the cost of creating a classical atomic aircraft carrier. This is also achieved by eliminating the need to build huge shipbuilding docks, equipped with expensive heavy-duty crane equipment.

In addition, the platform does not require the creation of specialized devices to ensure take-off and landing of aircraft, in particular, launching catapults. This ensures the basing and use of existing and future "land" aircraft.

The simplicity, evidence of the prospects and availability of the implementation of the concept of the maritime mobile aerodrome complex allow us to hope that it will not be ignored. In the future, in order to ensure the economic and political interests of the Russian Federation, it is possible to assess the feasibility of projecting power into remote ocean areas. The possibility of increasing the size of mobile airfield complexes allows us to consider them as a prototype of the forward points and home areas.

        Who told you about "drowning at once", the aircraft carrier covers the AWACS aircraft, in addition, there are surface ships' radars, from anti-aircraft missiles: missiles on fighters, about 500 missiles on escort ships (SM-2/6), many short-range missiles ESSM (50 km range), anti-aircraft guns and short-range machine guns, I am already silent about dipole reflectors and electronic warfare systems both on ships and on fighters (growler) + now the Americans are developing air defense lasers, it is not yet known what will happen.
        It is very unlikely that the missile will bypass all obstacles and hit the target, the AWAC will certainly detect the launch and will launch the missile, and even anti-aircraft missiles in the AUG in bulk.

            How many aircraft carriers have sunk since 1945? During World War II, sonars were very poorly developed. In addition, the United States also has anti-torpedoes that are capable of intercepting torpedoes (an analogue of our NK-Package).

                You can make a PPA (analogue of a UAV) with a mini-bomb - it will swim "tens of kilometers" and bang - dragging the aircraft carriers into the "abyss".

                  Comrades, we are now discussing the opposition of the AUG, but does this make sense? I am not an expert of course, but the war between the USA and the Russian Federation with conventional weapons seems to me an unlikely scenario. God forbid to live to this moment, but it will be the last war of this planet. And the discussion about the defeat of the AUG by the forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation does not seem to be very good. This is a headache for countries that do not have such strategic weapons potential as the Russian Federation. If I'm wrong, explain to me.
                  As for aircraft carriers for our Navy. If our country is geopolitically strong, we will be provided with ground airports. Who can we attack using AUG on Australia, but do we need it? As for the defense and air defense of our coast, do you seriously believe that someone other than the United States is capable of committing aggression against the Russian Federation? In the event of such an attack, the nuclear potential will again be used. My purely personal opinion, it is necessary to develop a submarine fleet and promising long-range strike systems, plus electronic warfare whatever the thought would not test the power of our weapons.
                  Talking about air defense and impact properties of AUG we forget about electronic warfare. If in the case of Donald Cook there is even a grain of truth, then the whole body of the movement to create supercarriers is a farce.

                  This is my modest, not professional opinion.

            Show me the ground-based object that guards the AWACS aircraft, radars, electronic warfare and 500+ anti-aircraft missiles (let me remind you all S-400 launchers that have adopted about 168 of them, have 672 missiles, and here one AUG has anti-air capabilities of almost the entire modern group of C systems -400 of Russia)? The DRLO aircraft radar is very powerful, the E-2C provides maximum target detection at a distance of about 540 km (aircraft) and 258 km (cruise missiles), the water is flat, the plane is in the air at an altitude of several kilometers, therefore, nothing will prevent it from detecting a rocket, nor the terrain (which is not above the water), nor the horizon, nothing.

          Drowning an aircraft carrier is not an easy task. It's true. Only it does not need to be drowned. It must be disabled. And after the volley of Caliber, the Americans made sure that their AUG in the Persian Gulf is extremely vulnerable. And they removed her from the bay. This fact indicates that all your arguments should be wiped. Further. AUG is a complex based on aircraft carrier aircraft. That is, with the failure of an aircraft carrier, the vulnerability of the group increases significantly. To see the Caliber ground tracking stations did not work, the ship even more so fail. This means 26 calibers dolbonut at the same time throughout the group. Even one missile will hit the deck of an aircraft carrier (one of the most complex structures on the ship) and not a single plane will take off. At the same time, the rest of the ships will be hit, and then, if desired, the aircraft carrier can be finished off by submarines with the simplest and cheapest torpedoes.

              Then it’s better from ice (especially for our North Seas)

              When the allies were preparing to land in Europe, they seriously considered the project of building a fleet of huge aircraft carriers from ice.

              It is not entirely clear who first came up with this, but it is known that the idea of ​​icebergs-airfields was discussed in 1942 by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Lord Louis Mountbatten, head of Joint Operations, the British organization responsible for the development of offensive weapons.

              Initially, it was about a simple "cutting" of the tops of icebergs, equipping them with engines, communication systems and sending them to the theater of operations with a group of aircraft on board.


              Frozen water seemed a cheap and unlimited resource. As a bonus, such an aircraft carrier would be unsinkable, since a whole hail of bombs and torpedoes could not break a large iceberg into pieces, but only leave potholes on it.


              Habakkuk, Canada, 1943

              The ship with a skeleton of wooden beams and a filling of ice blocks (stabilized by three small refrigeration units and a network of tubes) totaled 18,3 meters in length, 9-plus meters in width and weighed 1,1 thousand tons. Its creation by forces of 15 people took two months.

          Meanwhile, the large Soviet lighter carrier “Julius Fucik”, disguised as an American ship “Doctor Likes”, leaves Leningrad with a division of airborne troops under the command of General Andreev on board and proceeds to the Atlantic Ocean.
          ...
          At the same time, aircraft of the USSR Navy organize a large-scale raid on the Keflavik airbase in the west of Iceland, a stronghold of NATO aviation. The Tu-22M regiment approaches Keflavik from the north and launches about a hundred X-22 missiles at the air base.
          ...
          A few kilometers from the shore, a lighter carrier throws out four small hovercraft, and they head for Keflavik.

          ... as a result of the raid, almost all the equipment located at the airfield was destroyed, the command and almost all the personnel were killed.
          Soviet landing unhindered captures Keflavik.

                Oil platforms are towed as an option. Airplanes do not land on them, for they have a different purpose. But even for this purpose, they carry not a small load. Helicopters, by the way, land. When moving such an airfield, takeoff and landing of aircraft can be excluded, this is not an aircraft carrier.

                A warrant when moving is not more than that of an aircraft carrier. Unless the tugs are still, if not self-propelled. In a stationary position he will be able to protect himself, you can park a couple of separate modules next to him, with self-defense equipment, acoustic buoys, etc.

                Near their shores such a contraption is useless. The only suitable water area for him is the Mediterranean Sea. And then the Arabs, they are such, are friends today and provide a base for aviation. And tomorrow they will be offended and kicked out.

                The dimensions of the existing semi-submersible platforms: length 80-120 m, width 50-60 m. The dynamic stability control system allows the platform to remain in place with an accuracy of several meters even without anchors. Platforms can be rigidly not connected, then, in fact, a number of platforms are bridge supports. And the runway canvas, freely lying in the gutter on these supports, will absorb loads from horizontal and vertical movements. On a pair of freestanding platforms, flight control points and long-range self-defense systems, such as S-400 and Caliber. Even now, you can certainly solve all the technical problems, the question of price. And if you want to build such a thing in 30-50 years, and when designing ice-resistant semi-submersible platforms for developing the shelf of the Arctic seas, take into account their possible double use ... Reduce the amplitude of movement of the platform to 2-3 m, which is important for drilling and operation in oil industry, increase the size of the platforms. Separately, develop designs from which it is possible to assemble the runway weave of the desired length, the design of the upper part of the platforms on which the runway lies down to make like a shock absorber to damp vertical vibrations.

Either the platforms will be connected by separate trusses, it will be necessary to develop a covering so that the plane does not "stumble", which, given the small vertical amplitude, is possible.

In addition, robotization in the army is gaining momentum and this is a fact. And assembling an airfield in the ocean like a puzzle looks much more attractive than to build one very big goal, which we need to build somewhere else (such a shipyard was only in Nikolaev), plus the construction time of 6-10 years (long). The aerodrome gathered, and then it also fell apart into components, which will be separately capable of performing combat missions. At the same time, tracking such an airdrome platform will be extremely difficult. And if one of the segments fails, it can be replaced by another. In this case, you do not need to drive the entire structure into the dock for repair.

              At the level of current capabilities, you can only make something similar, as stated by the author of the article. But I think this idea is initially utopian. I’m talking slightly about something else ...
              For example, robotic submarines capable of surfacing to transform into a runway segment, and connecting such segments into a full-fledged airfield. Moreover, each such submarine itself will be a combat unit capable of performing combat missions.
              And as for fuels and lubricants and everything else, there are support vessels ... but the idea is that such a pseudo aircraft carrier essentially does not require escort, it cannot be tracked and it will be much more convenient to repair it ... while the runway is possible " link "even a kilometer.
              I understand that such an idea (its implementation) is now complex, but I am sure that in the near future it has the right to life.

                For example, robotic submarines capable of surfacing to transform into a runway segment, and connecting such segments into a full-fledged airfield. Moreover, each such submarine itself will be a combat unit capable of performing combat missions.

                In this case, it is both easier and cheaper to build 50 "Zepelin" with a piece of runway above or below the cylinder. We took off, grappled - the flying airfield is ready. At least 10 meters, at least 10000 meters. They fired an anti-aircraft missile, disengaged, scattered - the missile got confused and fell, and they again grappled. You can put "Daggers" and "Broadswords". lol

                  I considered the idea of ​​unmanned submarines capable of "interlocking" segmentally into the runway in the form of an idea. And why do you think that coupling will take place in a 5 point storm? That's the point that you can choose a place even in a quiet lagoon, or in a calm square of the ocean, but you never know ...
                  Regarding zeppelins and so on, this is not the same thing. Unmanned submarines can also sink for a kilometer (Recent publication about Status-6) and the cruising range is good. Noticing it will be impossible.
                  And one more thing, I'm not talking about the current construction of such submarines ... but as an idea in the future, I am sure it is consistent.

                    In general, water, such an insidious element that does not tolerate rashness and negligence.
                    To break such a coupling and two points is enough, and this is the natural state of the sea. With three points, they no longer moor.
                    And to make such a construction that it is unreasonable to assemble it in a quiet place. It’s easier to capture a piece of shore and build a runway, like the British in the Falklands. And it’s even easier to move VTOL or convertiplanes.

                      After all, I'm not talking about the fact that today it’s starting to build.
                      But let’s so, what do we have today to oppose 11 AUGs of the USA? One aircraft carrier cruiser? Do we have shipyards for the construction of aircraft carriers? Plus the construction time. And the result is that the same 4-5 aircraft carriers (even if the shipyard will be ) we will build 40-50 years.
                      In addition, it is necessary to take into account the rapidly growing development of anti-ship missiles and missiles, which, with increased range for naval targets, will completely nullify the advantages of an aircraft carrier in front of the same TARK.

                        Of course, I could be wrong, but any "structure" consists of load-bearing elements that must evenly hold the load.
                        If you break these elements with more "strong" elements, which in this case will corny cease to perceive the load, this will lead to the fact that under a strong load it will tear not the coupling itself, but the bearing elements themselves from the coupling, which are not more "monolithic" will not be able to distribute the load over the entire area.

Carrier warrant is a high security and protection of the carrier with the accompanying ships and submarines, as well as the most important thing, the mobility of the group and therefore the secrecy.

      The article is good, but the conclusion is wrong: the aircraft carrier is needed by the country whose areas of interest require a military presence at ocean distances. Only the USA is suitable for this, which are separated from Eurasia by the Pacific and Atlantic.
      Russia, and even more so France, England, aircraft carriers are needed only for prestige. We have the Arctic, China, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Turkey and the Middle East at hand. Therefore, we need an aircraft carrier like a fifth wheel. First of all, we need non-nuclear anti-aircraft / missile destroyers and a network of military bases (Horn of Africa, something off the coast of Indonesia). If the world trade center moves to Antarctica (ice will become more expensive than oil), Australia (longevity pills will be received from kangaroos) or South. America (Coca will be the first reserve currency or raw material for starships), then aircraft carriers are needed as air.

            The aircraft carriers are an extra-expensive project that did not even stretch the USSR, they are drawn in a symmetrical response to the US fleet to destroy their own economy. For reference, the maintenance per day of one aircraft carrier is from $ 1,5 to $ 2 million .. and if you still spend research and development and building the necessary docks, auxiliary ships, then this program can draw a trillion dollars, are they in the budget?

            And who calculated this for you? Even small countries have their own aircraft carriers and have had them. The economy of the USSR or Russia with its half of the ISS and the strategic nuclear forces weigh less than for example the Spanish or Brazilian? On the contrary, none of the small countries with carrier-based aircraft, or third world countries, have nuclear submarines, and sometimes there are conventional submarines.

    The attitude in Russia towards aircraft carriers resembles the famous Krylov's fable "The Fox and the Grapes" ... and you want it and it is not available .... you need aircraft carriers (aircraft carrier groups) of Russia - you NEED! ... maybe it can build them (given the geometric progression of tension in the world ) before the expected events? - NO ... therefore, we need to look for an alternative, and if our World at this stage bypasses formidable events, then, of course, it is necessary to think about it in the future, and in the short term Russia will not be able to.

    I generally support the idea of ​​concrete ships, as well as modular ships ... However, this will not be a full replacement for the atomic nose. If only because the construction and maintenance of a real metal ship and base infrastructure will require and create much more jobs, which will greatly reduce the problem of unemployment, and this is a serious increase in the economically active population, a key resource in any country.

      Why not an ice carrier? The old forgotten project of the supercarrier-iceberg "Habakkuk" - "Avvakum" during the Second World War. Well this is just for fun. laughing
      But seriously, this passage is alarming:
      the decision, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Viktor Chirkov: “We need an aircraft carrier not yesterday or today, but a really promising ship that surpasses all existing ships of this class. This is our strict requirement for industry, and we will not give up on it. ”

      Will this not work out another expensive project, like the "white elephants" of Admiral Gorshkov, I mean the aircraft carrier, if my memory serves me, Project 1143 - neither an aircraft carrier nor a cruiser. And about the nuclear aircraft carrier - even in the USSR they could not finish building the Ulyanovsk, which, as a result, remained to rust in the city of Nikolaev.
      Despite all the efforts made by the USC, only submarines (very successful) and small surface ships (the same are very successful) are still being built in Russia. Will Russian shipbuilders be able to create and build such a large and very complex surface ship as an aircraft carrier? In the coming years, this is hardly possible.
      I have the honor.

    Very interesting in terms of design features. Investments in such island-airfields are especially interesting in light of the latest launches of the Kalibr missile system. If Russia already has a weapon called "The Thunderstorm of Aircraft Carriers", "The Killer of Aircraft Carriers", then, for sure, the enemy army will find "Terminators of floating airfields." The military doctrine of the Russian Federation is more defensive than offensive, in the sense that we are not going to conquer any territories. Yes, and the President's statements are more than clear: only help, only in accordance with international law ... and, if anything, we can also use "nuclear" weapons ... in order to prevent ...

    1) There is no manufacturing technology for such vessels
    2) There is no money to build such ships
    3) There is no money to equip such ships with aircraft
    4) Doubtful combat effectiveness
    5) It is impossible to protect such a ship (this tidbit will be destroyed in 1 hour of a major military conflict, like all priority surface naval targets)
    6) There is no money to maintain such military facilities
    7) It will take a lot of time to assemble it in combat conditions
    8) It is easy to destroy in parts on the march (before assembly), because its parts a priori will not have weapons.

    There are cheaper and more effective ways to increase the country's combat power. The fleet needs to develop underwater, small, silent hoses with cruise missiles equipped with tactical nuclear weapons.

        So I say - noses are needed, but not like in the USA, others. Not so conservative. It should be recognized that shipbuilding is best suited for ship-based verticals, because in the event of damage to a huge flight deck, a traditional bow becomes only an extra burden on the warrant - a huge defenseless trough. Verticals take off from small areas, and in case of alarm, you can quickly saturate the sky with airplanes. It would also be great to organize a take-off directly from the hangar - this will eliminate the vulnerable position of the aircraft on the deck. In addition, I see a trimaran as the ideal layout of the nose - this, in addition to a radical increase in stability during a storm, also greatly increases the speed. And I see concrete as the optimal material - it is more durable than metal, it does not rust, it does not fear freezing into ice, and finally, it is much simpler and cheaper to build from concrete ...

    The aircraft carrier is certainly beautiful and increases opportunities, but not in a global war with an approximately equal enemy.
    Now any of the superpowers has sufficient means to defeat the carrier group. And if anti-ship missiles by some miracle do not solve the problem, then a cruise missile with a tactical charge is certain. The modular, non-maneuverable design is completely absurd, a direct gift even for a mosquito fleet.
    If you create an aircraft carrier, it’s already flying, but this is not in ours, and probably not in the next century. We don’t have much where to swim, we’ll roll it out anyway, but we don’t have money for such a toy. A series of already created ones, with the surviving Admiral Gorshkov, turned out to be unsuccessful, neither the cruiser, nor the aircraft carrier, and the engines are frankly weak, moreover, on diesel traction. Better to wait, while there is money to spend.

      If you doubt something - take a look, well, at least in WIKI! - and then the power plant pr.1143 from diesel, will immediately turn into a steam power, the specific "thrust-to-weight ratio" (to the question of a weak power plant) will be more than that of the atomic Nimitz. (Kuznetsov: 200hp / 000t displacement; Nimitz: 50hp / 000t W), in other words: 260 hp per 000 ton of displacement at Kuzi) and 100 horses per 000 ton of Nimitz's weight - feel the difference!)
      And the last one. In the 80 years of the last century, in the absence of catapults, normal take-off aircraft, frail capabilities of the shipbuilding industry and the lack of experience in building such ships, the creation of 1143 was a labor feat for shipbuilders, science and technology of the Union of that time!
      And to argue that the Mosin’s three-line is worse than the AK-47 from the position of the 21 of the century - a lot of mind is needed!
      What they could, they created it. But it was under Gorshkov that the fleet went to the Ocean, became rocket and thermonuclear. And that's it. For statesmen are judged not by what they could, but did not do, namely by what they really did!

    A floating airfield is not a fantasy, as some critics of the concept try to present (seos, BMW, Lance, Old very, etc.) This is a reality that was carried out by the Bolsheviks and even capitalists in the last century, look for and read about floating ice stripes in the seas and oceans , about the rescue of Chelyuskinites finally remember. And the fact that such an airfield is much simpler, cheaper, and its capabilities are more than an aircraft carrier is a fact. One has only to estimate the cost of four 300 meter barges to form a normal runway for normal aircraft, even heavy ones, and less than 100 people to service them. with the cost of the aircraft carrier and its personnel. A heavy aircraft carrier will not pull - in general! And do not talk about technical impossibility. Even the Japanese already made up floating airfields (true for light aircraft) and experienced!
    And leave the tales that it’s harder to defend it with naval sofas, and the sailors will explain to you how they have to defend escort ships of the type of tankers or caravans of ships - for this the fleet originally existed in general - to protect the various interests of the state at sea.
    But there is only one drawback of this approach - it is really less maneuverable than an aircraft carrier, 30–20 percent interest, like supertankers have, instead of 30. That is, from Crimea to Syria will go not 3 days, but 4.

    By the way, if there was such a floating airfield there, it would be easier to defend against the needles, it would be easier to supply, and it would be easier to deploy. And all you need is to convert 4 tankers for take-off, one bulk carrier for hangars, one liner for a hotel for crews and one boat for an aerodrome control point. And in peacetime he would have something to do, right down to work in peaceful specialties - tankers, bulk carriers, etc.

      And the tales that it’s harder to defend are left to naval sofas, and the sailors will explain to you how do they have to defend escort ships escorting type tankers or ship caravans
      Sergey, you’re probably recently at VO. Therefore, komenty marine professionals, such as my good friend Rudolph, you do not like. I’m not talking about myself.
      But believe me, we know what we are writing about, because (unlike you) we have been standing on an iron deck for more than one year, and academies (VMA and in their specialty) with VVMUZ have finished, there are all kinds of courses (with AGSh, VMA, VSOK, etc.) , obligatory "retraining" every 5 years - a lot passed ...
      So, you are wrong.
      Everyone has the opportunity to speak out on the issue under discussion. And it's up to every member of the forum to listen to whose opinion. But to determine who is a pro and who decided to play the "babalike" is "a matter of taste for each subject of our resource", as one wise MARSHAL of the site said when I was driven to "minus major".
      Do not be offended and do not exact, but referring to "real sailors" without knowing who it is on the site is a futile business!
      In conclusion, I can say one thing: Boa constrictor and Rudolph on this issue spoke out very clearly. And your business is to agree with them or to give counter arguments defending your point of view. You just don’t have to hide behind your backs - this is not customary for sailors.

        A rare case of reasoned denial. It even got through. I'm sorry. I didn’t smell real sailors by their words. And I realized that I should not refer to "real sailors".
        But I didn’t touch your argument, let's go through:
        Quote: BoA KAA
        Such a unit at a speed of 14uz will rattle half a ocean
        And so the aircraft carrier does not rattle? Do airplanes fly silently too? And how much is a tanker in an order from an aircraft carrier group noisier than an aircraft carrier? I think that on the contrary, the aircraft carrier will be noisier. Can you dispel my doubt reasonably? And in terms of speed, 14uz is the economical move of tankers providing the lowest cost of transportation. And if you do not look at the economy as it should be in the military, but take high-speed, and without cargo, there will be more.
        Quote: BoA KAA
        Secondly. I doubt very much that such a hydraulic structure will be able to withstand the ocean wave for a long time. The rigidity of such a structure of articulated elements on such a wave ... is extremely difficult to achieve. Well, what nafig C-17 will sit on the "vertical snake"?
        I won’t look for a link, I’m not a pro, but I’ll tell you that I read the conclusion about landing tests on ice floes, from which I realized that the deflection of ice in the water under a heavy machine greatly facilitates landing. Airfield on the ice I’m just citing it as an example so that you don’t doubt - here it is an already existing and tested version of a possible selection of rigidity and flexibility.
        Quote: BoA KAA
        Thirdly. The platform will lose the main advantage of AVU - mobility. Here for sure, DF-21 and K * hunt for fame.
        And here you have an understatement. For example, off the coast of Syria these DF-21 and K * are now hunting? And you are sure that the main advantage of AVU is mobility, not airplanes? Simply, if you are sure that the main advantage in mobility is, it may be better than ekranoplanes, nor any aircraft carrier in mobility can compare with them ...
        Quote: BoA KAA
        Fourth. The author of the idea forgets about the "storage and maintenance" of aircraft at such a structure. On each module ...
        Not sure what's on everyone. I’m just sure that on everyone it’s absurd and profanity to discredit. That's right - these are several tankers (without oil, in combat use) for the take-off formation, a container ship for hangars with airplanes and their supply, a passenger liner for crews and service staff, and a boat with an air traffic control system. Do you remember Soviet dual-use ships?

        Yes, there are still questions.
        For example, the economic component? How much will it cost to form a floating aerodrome out of multiple ones? A tanker of 100 million, a dry cargo ship and a liner are not yet expensive for another 100, well, and a runway - it will have to be formed when built on such specialized tankers, and a control boat, even 100, must be completed. They are complete for assembly. All the same, it does not reach very much up to 10 billion.

        And are the combat use of aircraft carriers after World War II on the move, without many months of preliminary preparation known? It’s just that the conflicts in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya cannot be said. Is that the Falklands, but even there it was not without auxiliary ships - "The composition of the air group was constantly increasing. On the container ship "Atlantic Conveyor" and an additional 8 carrier-based Sea Harrier aircraft, 15 Harrier GR3 aircraft, as well as 11 squadrons of Lynx, Wasp, Sea King and Wessex helicopters of various types were airlifted to the South Atlantic and modifications ".

        I. I understand that a mortar is different from a gun, and an aircraft carrier from a floating airfield. And their purpose and application should be somewhat different, although their main function is the same - to ensure the use of aircraft. But there are no fatal technological problems. There are only economic and professional.

            What other tankers, bulk carriers, liners, boats ?!
            I don’t understand why you cannot call several tankers completed to prefabricated modules "Complex of modular self-propelled platforms". But with the dimensions it is indicated "apparently", which means there may be options - I gave the option that is better from my point of view.
            Quote from rudolf
            what kind of landing on deck can we talk about? To make a half-meter thick armored deck with the appropriate deck set?
            And you thought, pretended to be options? I have already been tortured to present you with facts and videos of these facts - 30 tons of ice floe are kept from the bush! Next, see tensile / compression tensile strength, p, Pa:
            ice - 1.0 · 106 / 1.0 · 106..2.0 · 106
            Aluminum - 6 · 107..8 · 107 / -
            Cast iron - 1.4 · 108..2.5 · 108 / 6.0 · 108..1.75 · 109
            Steel - 3.8 · 108..8.0 · 108 / -
            http://khd2.narod.ru/info/datamech.htm
            As you can see, steel is more than 2 orders of magnitude stronger, so landing aircraft heavier by an order of magnitude is not a technical problem - but yours.
            Quote from rudolf
            And here the bending of ice during landing ... A long ship,
            Do you only know how to read, or do you sometimes get to understand what you read? I do not suggest such stupidity as a long hard ship. Try to understand this and then it will immediately become clear to you where the deflection is, why it is needed, what it needs to be provided, and what means it needs to be provided. Once again, watch the video with a long - several hundred meters floating runway in the ocean! But if you do not believe your eyes again, then I am powerless ...

            By the way, I’ll tell you a secret, modules, tankers, ice floes are possible, but nonsense, more effective means of deploying floating airfields are possible.

                  If everything is so simple, then why aren't they still?
                  Not just of course. And the hardest part is the experts who are looking for excuses, not solutions. But if you recall the story ... when the world war pressed, then immediately began to make simple cheap civilian aircraft carriers - even the states. This time. Two, the Japanese in this century have made and tested a prefabricated floating airfield for light aircraft, i.e. they tested it technically, then I don’t know, maybe the economy didn’t like it, maybe it was classified. Three, you use the demagogic construction again, suggest absurdity, and then honestly call it stupidity - like you won, like with the ice strip that I offer only as a good example of the possibility, even with rather weak structural properties of the material. It is clear that some "cast iron" is more than two orders of magnitude (100 times) stronger.

                  Your second - well, you can't (!) "Install it on some rigid support structure", you yourself said - it will break. So it is not necessary to consider deliberate nonsense, but it is necessary to look for another solution - flexible ... An example due to ice was presented above.

                  By the way, you have one more strange proposal here - I understand that for some reason you think that a three-meter layer of ice smeared on the top (deck?) Of a tanker weighs more than what it can carry, for example, oil in its deep tanks , and if you count? Although, I repeat, it is better to use materials that are better than ice.

                  Quote from rudolf
                  The ice cover is on the surface of the water.
                  Why raise the runway high? Let the base be semi-flooded in operation. With a high wave, he, PA, is still not operable, but on an ordinary wave it is possible with breakwaters, etc. to shield.

                  Therefore, I remain of my opinion - the technical ability of the PA, and cheaper than the aircraft carrier, is. And I realized that the sailors didn’t need such a bayonet.

    So, the deputy director of the Institute for Political and Military Analysis, Alexander Khramchikhin, is of the following opinion: “... pushing the line of air defense, anti-aircraft defense and air defense systems a few hundred miles from their shores ... much cheaper and more efficiently can be solved by developing and improving the air force, air defense, coastal air defense missile systems and underwater fleet".

    He almost never agreed with Khramchikhin's point of view, but here he is right about one thing. setting the frontier is several hundred miles cheaper. The truth is not writing, but how to achieve this? Modules? Stupid. It may not be stupid if it is necessary to create a stationary floating base in an area where there are no airfields, and others are far away, but firstly it is long (the mobility of this idea is zero), secondly - the "assembly" time will be hefty, and the enemy will sit and watch ? and 1 - it will be much more susceptible to waves than a conventional aircraft carrier and is hardly cheaper.

    We do not need aircraft carriers, of course we can build one (in extreme cases, two) at the Pacific Fleet and Northern Fleet for prestige. Everyone is talking about asymmetry, the best answer is the development of hypersound, and we need to focus on it. All air defense, aircraft carriers immediately to a landfill.

    It seems that you think that our enemy will not do anything and leave everything as it is. On hypersonic Raman there is hypersonic anti-aircraft. This is not a way out or a panacea. Whether we need aircraft carriers or not depends on how we position ourselves. A superpower ready to defend its interests not only in the 200-mile zone, or we will be an ordinary regional power. In the second case, aircraft carriers are not only unnecessary, but also harmful, since this will be an ordinary drink of money. If we are going to protect our interests anywhere in the world, then aircraft carriers are needed.
    Take the current situation in Syria. Would it happen, for example, 5-7 years ago, could we quickly deploy our aviation forces there? Bulgaria and now sometimes does not provide air corridors for our BTA. And then there were tense relations with Iran, and there were American troops in Iraq. The question is how to transfer planes there? On the BDK disassembled? How to cover, if necessary, the deployment zone of our submarine missile carriers? And many other questions. The only thing is that there is no need to chase the United States quantitatively ...

    It is more necessary to the aggressors. We are not like that, we have much more limited use of aircraft carriers, and there are fewer places and reasons for using them. Well, the same cruise missiles sink aircraft carriers at times, even without a nuclear warhead.

    Alas, let your words be to God’s ears. There is such a book, it seems called "Naval strategy" or "War at sea" (here I can really be mistaken with the name in which it was, I don’t remember exactly, I read about 5 years ago). Posted by Admiral Captain Ivan Matveevich. And he has a very good calculation there on how "aircraft carriers are being drowned with cruise missiles".

    According to his calculations, in order to do this it is necessary to incapacitate an aircraft carrier from 5 to 7 cruise missiles of the Granit or Kh-22 type, and for destruction - 11-12... It is not without reason that such huge forces were allocated to the destruction of the AUG in the USSR. So say "at one time" - sorry, hap

      PS: To all fans of Caliber. At least once, for the sake of your education, go online and read about the missiles of the Caliber family, its anti-ship version, how far it "floats", how it will "meet" it, and in general, what are the chances that it will be launched?
      Even 2-3 Antei's 949A (wherever there would be so many) each 24 Granites each had very illusory chances of destroying an aircraft carrier .. In the best case, they would have destroyed 2-3 URO destroyers at the cost of death

      These are very erroneous calculations, because. they were made "hell knows when" and "took into account that the Indzhis with a probability of 0.85 will be able to knock our missiles down" .. that's why the density of the volley and the flow of missiles was considered.
      And the "huge forces" were allocated due to the fact that while the AUG was in a state of "full combat readiness" its ORDER increased and before "getting" to the "aircraft carrier" you had to "solve problems" with ships and aircraft AWACS of the Air Defense Forces AUG, electronic warfare and air defense ships. wink

    The issue of an aircraft carrier is a geopolitical issue. It is akin to another question: Does Russia want to have allies? Here we take Argentina. Was she able to turn to us before the Malvino-Falkland conflict began, so that our aircraft carrier would resemble tudes-syudas there? Could. Perhaps if the steering wheel had a competent politician who was able to calculate all the risks, then they would have sent. As the experience of Syria shows, an aircraft carrier does not have to be very large, 32 shock and multifunctional bombs are enough, and also (~ 24) turntables for various purposes. Well, the stock of weapons with security. It turns out about 60 boards taking into account the AWACS and the transporter, although the AWACS can be based on the A-40 Albatross, which drops / rises from the water and takes off from the water.

    Once upon a time there was an idea to place anti-ship missiles (just "caliber") in containers of the cargo type and place them on the seabed. The containers must of course be reinforced against corrosion and salt water. Thus, the coastline would be under control for many hundreds of kilometers. And 100 of these containers would be cheaper than one supercarrier. But this is just my opinion.

    It seems to me that in this dispute it is necessary to determine the military doctrine: a) offensive, b) defensive. If offensive, then it probably makes sense to have aircraft carriers in the escort group, for not very strong targets (strong targets have something to answer, even though there are 10 AUGs). If defensive - then why throw money for nothing. This is the first.
    Second: the article talks about building in 10 years (in practice, 15). During this time, as Nasredin used to say, either the donkey will die, or the emir. During this time, the physical concept of weapons will completely change, and all these masses of metal will frighten only fish in the ocean.
    We need a powerful, mobile, stuffed with state-of-the-art electronic warfare and warhead delivery systems. (Missiles, shells, etc.) It is necessary to develop the completely abandoned industry of atomic propulsion systems for aviation, including for fleet aviation. The atomic group of drones can seriously cover any squadron anywhere.
    So you need to think in the future. If there were no promising developments in the USSR, now there would be no Russia.

    Any article that considers the need for aircraft carriers, in my opinion, is useful.
    True, mere mortals are still not given to know all the pros and cons, therefore, further every thought is my personal vision. I do not impose. hi
    - It is definitely not necessary to follow the path of the race for the Americans. In general, two main points in this article were voiced. First, catching up with Russia will only spend resources without getting into the hands of modern really formidable weapons. Here one cannot disagree with the commander in chief. The second - aircraft carriers, as we know them today, will very soon reach the technical limit. Those. trying to catch up, hoping in the future to overtake, is basically meaningless, because around the bend is not a continuation of the track, but a dead end. laughing

    - No matter how banished the American and British media on the topic of the "aggressiveness" of the Russians, it was and will be only their propaganda, which protects the Western elites from the wrath of their own peoples. The reality is that Russia is still a self-sufficient state. The goal of capturing European countries was not there, and it is not. I personally do not see the point of "pushing back" the borders with the help of aircraft carriers. our country is so huge that a strike can be prepared from anywhere. The cost / benefit ratio is highly questionable. The only sane use of aircraft carriers for Russia is to support a ground operation in you-know-who territory.

    - The project of a huge floating airfield is a step along the same path of gigantomania. How it ended for the forefront at that time in the technical plan of Nazi Germany, I hope, there is no need to remind. The US has long been discussing the strategy of "spreading death", which I would translate as "dispersing death". Those. abandoning the practice of dumping all the eggs in one basket. So far, I notice with satisfaction that these conversations remain only conversations for them. Russia, on the other hand, does not build large surface ships in its rearmament program. Our business is to build a large number of frigates capable of delivering coordinated strikes while being at a considerable distance from each other. I would like to see this principle in the form of a new aircraft carrier project. A large number of small aircraft carriers operating on new principles that allow quickly launching all aircraft on board, capable of better protecting themselves from threats from the air and from under the water. True, I understand that this concept rests not so much on the construction of such a ship, but on the construction of a new aircraft that does not require large dimensions of the ship for confident takeoff and landing. sad

    It is not surprising that for the first time such a concept (of a floating platform) was announced in the "west". Well, purely "Death Star" from "Star Wars". Typical aggressor weapon. Not our doctrine, this one. Second: as already correctly noted, this monster will simply consume a huge amount of resources - combat security and support. And thirdly, the main thing: the same vulnerable, "disposable" instrument of war as an aircraft carrier, only it will be loaded into it, Mom, do not worry. No, we don't need such a ballet. And what about a promising aircraft carrier for the Russian Navy - ONE such a group is definitely needed. If only because both the state and business invest their assets abroad, and it is sometimes necessary to protect this quickly and toughly. BUT! Not more than one, Not today, and Not in this economy. My verdict: to develop a promising aircraft carrier, without haste, R&D, etc. already today, complexes and systems can be tested without a case with a dock. And raise the economy, the economy! production of the means of production, as Comrade Marx said. Without a powerful industrial public sector, the country will not even be able to handle the first such aircraft group. The banana republic does not need such toys, just as the donkey does not need a knight's saddle.

    Aircraft carriers can be quickly deployed to a region where the threat is growing. Unlike shore-based aviation, carrier-based aviation allows you to quickly build up military power in the region.

    I do not believe!
    1. Tanks-guns cannot be transferred by aircraft carriers anyway; coastal bases are needed.
    2. Coastal bases are much cheaper than aircraft carriers - and this means a larger number of coastal aviation, which “take care of aircraft carriers” off the coast.
    3. Far from the coast, aircraft carriers are dealt with by “strategic aviation” - which is also cheaper.
    4. Far from the coast, aircraft carriers also attack submarines. - which are also cheaper.
    5. It would seem that “aircraft carriers” are a “necessary evil” of the aggressor army (and the United States is a guaranteed ideological aggressor), but again - without coastal bases they will not fight, and the coastal bases of “loyal countries” are again not only inevitable, but also cheaper and more multifunctional.
    6. The only logical reason for the existence of aircraft carriers is the “theoretical” effectiveness of their aircraft against the enemy fleet.
    7. It follows from this that: the dominance of aircraft carriers in the US Navy is nothing more than “kickbacks” to the Defense Ministry, as well as the lack of “potential adversaries” with adequate means of destroying these same aircraft carriers in the form of developed coastal and strategic aviation - missile defense - submarines.
    PS. Normal countries (including us) do not need aircraft carriers as such, at most in the form of a small number in auxiliary roles.

    These are very erroneous calculations, because. they were made "hell knows when" and "took into account that the Indzhis with a probability of 0.85 will be able to knock our missiles down" .. that's why the density of the volley and the flow of missiles was considered.

    Alexander! I do not insist on the number of CDs, but you must agree that this is by no means the same as what our comrades write: "one time drowned by cruise missiles"

    Quote: ancient
    And the "huge forces" were allocated due to the fact that while the AUG was in a state of "full combat readiness" its ORDER increased and before "getting" to the "aircraft carrier" you had to "solve problems" with ships and aircraft AWACS of the Air Defense Forces AUG, electronic warfare and air defense ships.

    I ABSOLUTELY AGREE with this. Some people are already planning to sink an aircraft carrier almost with one “Caliber”. In addition, the missiles we mention = Granit and X-22 are supersonic, unlike the "Caliber" which some consider to be a "wunderwaffe"

    If we want Russia to revive its status as a great world power, we must and are obliged to do everything so that our design bureaus can develop, and the industry can build aircraft carriers, missile carriers, and everything that a great world power should have. No one knows what will happen to the country in five or more years and what our army will need to defend our state, so I don’t think there is a need for a dispute, I consider it demagoguery. We must learn to develop, build, use and expand our capabilities.

I agree with them, ..for example, ..the "sea" Iskander, if it fits into the shaft of the small "Amur" is also a good option, of course, it needs to be polished a little and, I think, ..it will also work as an option.

    We came up with it. They even shot at the training ground where the silhouette of an aircraft carrier was drawn. It’s really unknown whether it was painted before or after. Order an aircraft carrier to anchor and not move anywhere?
    Marine "Iskander"? Yes on a diesel boat? Masterpiece. True, he will have to be driven into the mine with the help of sledgehammers and some kind of mother. How will he then fly out of this mine? I imagine fireworks...
    ..Well, Iskander, for example, ...maybe against a moving target, especially when it is not against a complex background..forests, rickety huts or dense urban development, but against the backdrop of a monochromatic and not varied sea surface, but it is crammed into his memory photo of an enemy aircraft carrier..))
    If you don’t like hammering Iskander into the Amur, you can subject Ash or Borey to this..

    I’m not even touching the Rubezh ICBM yet...or the Courier-type ICBM, which is possible, with the Rubezh it could end up being...one and the same...

    Thank you very much for not touching. I was especially impressed by your passage about the fact that “Courier” and “Rubezh” may turn out to be one and the same...
    Masterpiece. A 15-ton ICBM with a monoblock 12-14 meters long and a 50-ton ICBM with a MIRV and a length of 22-23 meters - SAME??? You said it right. It's better not to touch the ICBM. You swim in them...
    Oh, how can you sometimes be... intolerant, .. laughing ..I didn’t say anything unusual. Firstly..the length of that “monoblock” is 11,50 and weighs not 15 but 18-20. Secondly,..you shouldn’t have touched the ICBM, because - 22-23 and 50 and even with MIRVs...that’s ..Yars.., but not Rubezh, in addition, I could advise you to pay attention to the supposed carrier of this missile from the Minsk plant for this Rubezh, the weight-dimensional parameters of Yars cannot be taken into account.. smile

    No, I’m not offended... I’m an amateur doctor (this is a hobby). Maybe you missed it, but I’m there somewhere, if I remember correctly... I wrote that CDs are of course needed for PAK YES. but not long range, 500 km. It’s quite enough (to the center of the order), but about bombs, and even 70 tons, it’s not me, it’s you who made it up..

    Tactical missiles on strategists. Okay, before they were of great mass, only strategists could lift them, but even then the ranges were from 550 or more. Your 500 km order will not be enough to reach the center. Well, as for 70, yes, I bent a little, but even with 55 tons of bombs it will not play the same role (unless of course with the Papuans) as with a long-range ALCM

    Well, the combat distance will be about 1800 km. ., without refueling. It is quite enough to keep the AUG at a distance of 1500 km. from native birches...

    The Americans with fuel-efficient engines had a combat radius equal to 25% of the practical range. And here it is as much as 50%. God grant that the combat radius be 800 kilometers. Get down to the ground...

    At 300 km. you can go to the nearest security trough, he doesn’t care... there will be nothing to get the same subsonic PAK DA at a distance of more than 250 km. . ,

    Yes. If you don’t count the SM-2ER with a range of 240) and the SM-6 with a range from 240 to 400, then of course there is nothing. Well, you don’t count fighters from an aircraft carrier in your calculations...

    Quote: Seventh
    in addition, it is possible and necessary to perforate it from three sides with a three-stage supersonic Caliber from the same PAK DA, not allowing the Hornets, and especially the Hawkeyes, closer than 300 km. with their RVV-DBs.

    Yeah. And the fact that the three-stage supersonic “Caliber” runs at supersonic speed for the last 20-30 km is nothing?
    What will your RVV-BD stand on? For about 20 years now, ours have been taking one of these to exhibitions, but we haven’t heard anything about it being delivered. In addition, it has a seeker radar. And the air wing includes "Prowlers"....

    Well, yes, optical correlation can really be aimed at a reference image of the target. There's just one problem. It does not work against a moving target.
    Further, when launching a 4,6-ton rocket from an airplane, it will not only sag. So how will the ANN work? And the range is achieved when launched from a ground launcher along a ballistic trajectory

    Well, that’s how meticulous you are..)). It’s good that they agreed that there is “correlation optics” in the head. Let's go a simple logical way..together - And how does that correlation optics point the product at the “shot of the target”, having also the surrounding background on its matrix and in the electronic brains.. a miss on the ANN at the terminal stage of this fascinating process? ..And it’s very simple - despite the background, the SU leads the warhead EXACTLY to the picture of the target - a tank there, or some bus with civilians... in the same way it (the SU) will lead the Iskander to the aircraft carrier. Whether he moves or sleeps in the shafts...she doesn’t care..))

    "to build such a ship you need a dock of appropriate size, which is currently missing"

    On the territory of the Zvezda plant in Bolshoy Kamen in Primorye, USC is constructing the Zvezda-DSME supershipyard. The groundbreaking of the new shipyard took place in November 2009; the 2014 capacity commissioning plan included the commissioning of a hull processing unit, a paint shop and a slipway in 2016, and two dry docks in 2018. It is expected that ships with a displacement of about 250 thousand tons, a length of up to 350 meters and a width of up to 60 meters will leave the supershipyard's slipways.

    that is, by the time the aircraft carrier project is ready and approved, there will be a shipyard of a suitable size

    The weight of the Iskander warhead is indeed greater. But Iskander is also a land complex. Putting it on some boats is stupid. The result is strategic boats with tactical missile launchers. In addition, its dimensions are not the best for ship-based use. And everything comes true. It depends only on the number of forces allocated for this. They get confused, incl. and "Standards. Moreover, it goes astray much easier than Onyx... Because hitting a supersonic target moving at an altitude of 15-20 meters above the water is more difficult than hitting a target going along a ballistic trajectory. And dimensions play an important role
