Russian aircraft carriers: will we have an aircraft carrier fleet?

Presentations of new projects were held as part of the Army-2015 exhibition held in July and the Naval Salon in St. Petersburg that followed it. The public was shown the layout of an aircraft carrier, and we saw that it would be as big as its American counterparts, and, interestingly, atomic.

How are they and how are we

The Americans, who always wanted to have a “long arm” in the ocean, took up their carrier fleet almost a century ago. Back in 1920, they converted Jupiter Carbohydrate into the USS Langley aircraft carrier (CV-1). Curtiss TF-1 piston planes were based on it, and communication between the flight crews and the ship was carried out using pigeon mail.

When the USS Enterprise was launched in 1960, the first American aircraft carrier with a nuclear power plant, it already had an index of CVN-65, that is, it was the 65 in the US aircraft carrier account. The new-class aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford received the CVN-78 index, and its two sisterships, John F. Kennedy and already the third Enterprise, will bring this bill to 80. These figures illustrate an already well-known fact - America has long regarded aircraft carriers as a crucial military-political tool. The only country that, in addition to the United States, built an atomic aircraft carrier, remains France with its Charles de Gaulle.

We had nothing of the kind in our fatherland, and some more or less convincing attempts to create a carrier fleet in the USSR began only in the 1960s, when our country launched two helicopter carriers, Moscow and Leningrad. Of course, something was done before - you can recall the hydro-aviatransports of the Russian Empire or the Red Army “Kommunu” - the barge “France”, reworked during the Civil War for the transport of aircraft. Of course, they could not take off from the barge. There was also a pre-war draft aircraft carrier (project 71), which was stopped by the war. And after the war, while the giant US aircraft carriers, accompanied by AUG, as they say, plowed the seas, the Soviet leadership was inclined to an asymmetric response, mainly in the form of a nuclear missile weapons and far aviation. The situation changed with the removal in 1964 of Nikita Khrushchev from the leadership of the party and the state. In 1968, it was decided to stop the construction of the 1123.3 anti-submarine cruiser at the Black Sea plant in Nikolaev and instead begin work on the first large anti-submarine aircraft cruiser of the 1143 Krechet project. During the 1970s, four ships of this project were built (they could carry 12 Yak-36 / Yak-38 vertical take-off aircraft and a certain number of helicopters, and Kiev was the first-born). In reality, the combat capabilities of these ships were very modest. Differing from the low-armed aircraft carriers of the United States with an impressive set of missile and artillery weapons, they could not boast of air power. The Yak-38 was not the best product of the domestic aviation industry - it did not even have an airborne radar and was lightly armed. Of the four sisterships of the Krechet project, only one is operational today. In the past it was called “Baku”, then “Admiral Gorshkov”, and now it goes to sea under the Indian flag and the name “Vikramaditya”.

The development of this Soviet line of heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers was the 1143.5 project, within which the aircraft-carrying cruisers Varyag and Admiral Kuznetsov were built in Nikolaev. And they were closer to the traditional aircraft carriers. Due to the rejection of some of the weapons, these ships had an increased flight deck with a characteristic springboard. Unlike the 1143 project, they bore planes taking off with a takeoff run. All of the above Soviet heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers had a boiler-turbine powerplant, and it was planned to equip Ulyanovsk TAKR only with the 1143.7 project with an atomic heart. In addition, the ship was supposed to install a steam catapult, the design of which was worked out on the famous Crimean ground NITKA. But “Ulyanovsk did not survive the collapse of the USSR and was dismantled on the stocks in 1992 year.

The deck-based MiG-29 is a multifunctional all-weather machine of the 4 ++ generation. Their tasks include air defense and anti-ship defense of connecting ships, and striking enemy ground targets. The most modern modification is the MiG-29 KUB.

The day after tomorrow

In this story domestic aircraft carriers is over. The Admiral Kuznetsov continues to remain in the ranks, but this year he embarked on a major overhaul. "Varyag" was bought by China from Ukraine, allegedly to create an entertainment center, and then completed and put into the Navy PLA under the name "Liaoning".

Two important conclusions can be drawn from this whole story. The first conclusion: all domestic aircraft carriers were built at a plant in Nikolaev, and cooperation with this company, located on the territory of Ukraine, is impossible for the Russian defense industry today due to well-known circumstances. The second conclusion: none of these aircraft carrier cruisers was equipped with a nuclear power plant. Of the warships using atomic energy, in our Navy there were only submarines and heavy nuclear-powered nuclear cruisers of the 1144 Orlan project. One of the four such cruisers - "Peter the Great" - is in service. Ships of this type were produced in Leningrad / Petersburg, at the Baltic Shipyard, and thus the competence in the construction of heavy surface ships with a nuclear reactor in Russia remains.

And now it has been announced that in the field of aircraft carrier construction we from the Soviet past should step into the day after tomorrow. Russian nuclear aircraft carrier to be. But when? A model of a promising ship was created within the walls of the St. Petersburg Krylov State Research Center, perhaps the main think tank of the Russian military shipbuilding. In June, at the “Army-2015” exhibition, the model was exhibited at the stand of the Russian Navy. The second-rank captain Maxim Sorokin, who works at the stand, speaks about the project with typical military caution: “What we see on the stand is the likely appearance of the ship and those aircraft that will be based on it. Finally, the fate of the project is not resolved. There is no final decision on both the designer and the company in which the aircraft carrier will be built. There are two programs for the construction of the Navy - short-term (up to 2020 year) and long-term (up to 2050). The creation of an aircraft carrier, therefore, refers to the 2020-2050 period. ”

The USS Langley (CV-1), the first real aircraft carrier in the US Navy, was converted from Jupiter coal as early as 1920. Since then, the United States has acquired a powerful carrier fleet, which has several generations.

Islands and jumps

In sufficient detail, the preliminary project was presented by representatives of the Krylov Center at the Naval Salon - 2015, held in July in St. Petersburg. It became known that the project received the index 23000 "Storm". It is assumed that the aircraft carrier will have both a nuclear power plant and an additional (reserve) gas turbine. There are few figures, but what is known is interesting to compare with the parameters of the newest American aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford. Both ships - existing and projected - have a displacement of about 100 tons. The length of the "American" is 000 m. The "Storm" is 337 m shorter. The width of the hull along the waterline is 7 and 41 m, respectively. The draft is 40 and 12 m. The speed is also similar - about 11 knots (30 km / h). Ford can carry more than 55,6 aircraft, including multirole fighters, AWACS aircraft, helicopters and Drones. The Russian project, with a similar structure of the aviation group, claims 90 aircraft.

This simple comparison suggests that the Russian project in terms of weight and size parameters and weapon sets is guided not so much by Russian traditions as by the latest samples of American aircraft carrying ships. However, there are some noticeable differences. One thing has already been said - this is a hybrid power plant. The second is that, unlike the US aircraft carriers, instead of one “island” on the deck of the “Storm” there are two, but “thinner” ones. According to representatives of the Krylov Center, such a scheme with separation in space of the control points of the ship and aircraft will increase the survivability of the ship. However, it is unlikely that such an option can be recognized as domestic know-how. Two "islands" on the deck are installed on the recently launched Queen Elizabeth, the newest British aircraft carrier. The third difference is that, in the spirit of national traditions, our ship will have a springboard, and even two. Two springboards will lead to them (one short, the other long). Trampolines on their ships, the Americans, as you know, do not use. They use catapults - steam, and now electromagnetic, and launch from a catapult in the project "Storm" is also provided.

USS Gerald R. Ford (CV-78) belongs to the newest generation. The ship is equipped with two atomic reactors and is capable of carrying around 76 aircraft. Due to the total automation of management, the number of crew members is significantly reduced.

If we talk about the aviation grouping of our prospective aircraft carrier, then it will presumably include the MiG-29KUB multi-purpose carrier-based fighter jets, as well as the deck version of the 5 generation fighter, now known as the T-50 PAK FA. In addition to the strike aircraft, the ship will take a group of DRLO facilities. Probably, these will be airplanes developed on the basis of the unrealized Yak-44 project, which was worked out back in 1970-s and had an American E-2 Hawkeye (developed by 1950-x, which is still in the US Navy) as its obvious prototype. It’s difficult to say anything about the unmanned component, as promising Russian models are under development. Unlike the Soviet TAKRs and following the example of the American aircraft carriers, the Storm will not have a significant amount of ship armament on board, but it will be equipped with an anti-aircraft missile system and anti-torpedo defense.

However, the absence of a large number of own weapons suggests that the aircraft carrier is guarded not only by its own aircraft, but also by other military surface and submarine ships. So the implementation of the project "Storm" will undoubtedly mean an update in other classes. Along with the aircraft carrier, the Krylov Center presented this summer the project of the Russian destroyer Shkval, which is an export version of the nuclear destroyer Leader, which, by the way, is also just a project. These multifunctional ships, developed using the stealth technology, will, in particular, be involved in the air defense and missile defense systems and will take on board such means as the C-400 and C-500 complexes (when and if the latter will be created).

If an aircraft carrier under the Storm project is once built, this will, of course, be an outstanding achievement of the Russian defense industry. And the question of how it will fit into the Russian military doctrine, and what this doctrine will be at the time the ship is launched, will probably be discussed for a long time.

Yes, at least one aircraft carrier per fleet, large as "Storm" is needed, may eventually be able to project their geopolitical interests.

[mirag2]

Sorry, what shisha? Now our economy is in decline, who would not say anything (especially Ulyukaev), but it is so. Now it is not necessary to spend Ablo on aircraft carriers, but on the most urgently needed, We have one "Moscow"! such a ship is needed, there are few new planes, and without the T50 we will not be able to properly deal with the F35 and F22 are huge grandmothers. What the hell is an aircraft carrier?

[Scraptor]

The duty gathering of little plump, fat little strategists of Khrushchev’s accountant tactics and just trolls in the comments?

NPS also cost money, and there are NPLs. Well, it was on the Yak-141 radar ... The desired combination of letters and numbers in the article and in the comments does not occur even once.

Try to fight on land without aviation, why then do you want this from the sailors? The first AB was not American and had time to fight back in WWI. "Kuzia" is an aircraft carrier - hasn't Russia already had an aircraft carrier fleet for about 25 years, akhtunks?

[Scraptor]

No, when you were a political officer or a dissident, you made fun of and are making fun of the funny "exclusive submarine navy", which would be gouged and gouged without problems, because the submarine cannot escape from anti-submarine aviation and there is nothing to defend with. NK would have lasted a little longer.
And now they dressed up as a Soviet person to continue to compost the brain of the public.

[Androsh]

Wrong article start. The first aircraft carriers were made before the First World War and were called hydrocarriers. In the Russian Empire there were four hydro-aircraft carriers who took part in the first world war.

[pr 627]

Bro, who do you want to fight on the road with? With great difficulty, Russia is rebuilding the ground component of anti-aircraft defense and missile defense to protect its territories. The tasks of covering the naval component of the strategic missile defense system have not been completely solved, there are no new nuclear submarines capable of fully solving the problems of anti-aircraft defense. And we are all peacocks, peacocks.

[vladimir_krm]

Well, already the Russian Federation is fighting on the road. And it is much better to fight on the side, rather than wait until the war comes into the country. Chechnya and Dagestan confirm.

As for the aircraft carriers, there are a lot of proposals and conceptual designs now: a springboard, an electromagnetic catapult, an atomic power plant, and heated debates about how to fly large AWACS aircraft and even transporters. That's just to decide - the military, and they have no ready-made concept yet. With the accumulation of Syrian experience, I think it will appear.

[Scraptor]

Convertibles and high-speed AWACS helicopters have long been

If there are a lot of projects, and even without a concept, then this is no accident

[Igor39]

Have you read the article? Here, for example: "Captain of the second rank Maxim Sorokin, working at the stand, speaks about the project with typical military caution:" What we see at the stand is the PROBABLE appearance of the ship and the aircraft that will be based on it. The fate of the project is final. not resolved. There is no final decision either on the designer or on the enterprise on which the aircraft carrier will be built. There are two programs for building the Navy - short-term (until 2020) and long-term (until 2050). The creation of an aircraft carrier, THUS, IS RELATED TO THE PERIOD 2020-2050. "

Nobody says that we will build tomorrow and Ulyukaev has nothing to do with this.

[Starley from the south]

One thing is for sure: the world situation is changing and changing dramatically. Now we do not really need an aircraft carrier, except that it is expensive (my personal opinion), but tomorrow we may not be able to do without it. For example, in a situation when it is necessary to protect our allies in Nicaragua and Venezuela (at the request of the governments) at the same time from the "moderate", but heavily armed opposition. Only there is a possibility that one aircraft carrier will not be enough for such actions. For me, it is better to build a TARK of the Peter the Great type (or better, even more advanced), ships are universal, self-sufficient and not as expensive as aircraft carriers.

[spravochnik]

And how do you imagine such a ship. How long does it float without air cover ?. In the USSR, projects of air defense ships were created with astonishing constancy until the 80s. Then these attempts stopped. Do you know why? We conducted an analysis and came to the conclusion that it is IMPOSSIBLE to ensure the survival of ship formations only with airborne defense systems without self-defense.

[xtur]

> Only there is a possibility that one aircraft carrier will not be enough for such actions. For me, it is better to build a TARK of the Peter the Great type (or better, even more advanced), ships are universal, self-sufficient and not as expensive as aircraft carriers.

For sailors, as I understand it, the problem is not even in air cover, but in target designation if the ships are far from the coast. So there is essentially one alternative - an aircraft carrier that has a large air wing and AWACS aircraft, or an aircraft carrier with a small air wing, but also having AWACS aircraft.
I understand that the Kyrgyz Republic can largely compensate for the number of aircraft, but the absence of target designation is not possible to compensate for

that is, it would be interesting to hear opinions on the economic component of such varieties - does the second option make sense in terms of cost-effectiveness?

[spravochnik]

Just the problem is in the air defense of the compounds. There are other solutions for target designation, but not for air defense.

[igorka357]

How is this one alternative ... and satellites?

Our old-timer once said:"Hope for a satellite, but don't make a mistake yourself" and demanded that each officer (except for furs, honeys, supplies and hippolytes) show him the definition of a place by the Sun, stars ... Autonomous way, that is.
Why am I doing this? And besides, with the beginning of the database or even in the threatened period, all satellites sensors will be burned by powerful EMP or high-energy lasers from the Earth! This is already there and everyone knows about it.
But in reality, only aircraft can issue an over-the-horizon control center for firing systems. Submarine - only direct to the VIC area. And, TsU for RCC - a vital element of the battle. However - ABM / air defense too. I am silent about PLO. In short, where do not throw, and in DMZ without AVU can not do. Americans understood this long ago, right after Pearl Harbor.

And Thailand belongs to what category. Now, more or less serious countries have aircraft carriers. USA, England, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, India, China, Australia, Thailand.

Option number times:
To print the necessary amount of money and transfer it directly to allied enterprises producing components for AB. So that the money goes directly to the producers, and not a single ruble passes through intermediaries. Not even give money for raw materials and fuel, but to pay a supplier of raw materials a contract directly from the central bank account.
As a result: money supply increases by the cost of an aircraft carrier, the volume of real assets also increases by 1 aircraft carrier. Monetarists, and they are happy. And the speed of money circulation does not increase, because they all go to the real sector, and not a single ruble goes to intermediaries who will scroll them on the stock market.
It is clear that the option is unrealistic, because for it, you first need to fasten the system of control over officials to the country.

Option number two:

Excuse me, dear, but we live in the USA, what are you talking about so boldly about the "printing press"?

Money is printed in rubles - the national currency of the Russian Federation. It seems to be a sovereign state, it has the right to print the necessary amount of money for any security that it will accept. And as collateral a material asset is accepted - an aircraft carrier, 1 piece. This is not debt to you, if you find fault, this thing is at least less liquid, but much more reliable. The indicated method of distributing this money will allow avoiding the impact of the bank multiplier on them.
Or do I don’t know something, and the Russian Federation is not a sovereign country pursuing its monetary policy?

Excuse me, who will give this money away? They are in stocks and other securities ... do not count on this money.

Securities are an asset, and their owner can buy them if he needs them, or sell them on the secondary securities market if they are not needed. US treasury bonds are traded in the secondary market, even forex shops offer work with them. So they wanted money - they sold paper.
Or, again, I don’t know something, and the Russian Federation is not a sovereign country that independently manages its assets?

With this method of financing, the bank multiplier, which increases the speed of money circulation, does not work, because money does not go to banks, but immediately goes to the manufacturing sector.

[Idiot]

You really don't know something. The Russian Federation, at present, is not a sovereign country pursuing its monetary policy, and the more so, the Russian Federation cannot dispose of its assets invested in US debt. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation is an integral part of the Fed, so to speak, a Russian separate division that is not an independent legal entity with a current account in the United States. It is written in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. For now ... And why do we need aircraft carriers, a transcontinental power that is colossally self-sufficient in terms of energy and mineral resources, without overseas colonies and independent of world sea trade routes, I never understood and do not understand. Probably poor creature.

I have already said that the school for constructing ships of the first rank is simply ruined. We are building watchdogs for 7-10 years, although during this time aircraft carriers are building.

The second question is, if we build a suitable shipyard, how many aircraft carriers of Russia do you need to become a serious player, capable of confronting the United States with 11 aircraft carriers in this matter?
The third question is, for any aircraft carrier we need cover ships, supplies, etc. ... and our cruisers and destroyers are getting old. And so the question is when will we start building Leaders (and we need a lot of them, because destroyers are the backbone of any fleet).
And the question is rather painful - can we financially pull the aircraft carrier’s project, taking into account all the above questions?

To become a serious player does not need to strive for parity with the states. And it is not necessary to assume that if the United States has 11 aircraft carriers today, then in 35-40 years (and faster we can’t build 3 ABs) there will be the same. 30 years ago there were 15, by the way.

The third question is, for any aircraft carrier we need cover ships, supplies, etc. ... and our cruisers and destroyers are getting old. And so the question is, when will we start building Leaders

And I would rather give up the construction of aircraft carriers in favor of anti-submarine defense ships and ships that could destroy American destroyers armed with missile defense. This should have been done yesterday. In theory, we do not have new such ships, not counting "Dagestan", "Great Ustyug", and others, but they are limited in seaworthiness. only after we have enough of such ships and boats, and we are guaranteed to be able to destroy enemy boats and destroyers in case of war, then we can proceed to the construction of aircraft carriers.

KR type Granite, and now Onyx are very effective against aircraft carriers, according to leading experts. One submarine will have time to fire a salvo of 16 missiles even without a nuclear warhead, of which 2 pieces will reach the target in the worst case, and most likely more, but this is enough to disable it completely if it does not sink the aircraft carrier.

[Forest]

To incapacitate an aircraft carrier, you need more than 5 hits of heavy and under 20 hits of light anti-ship missiles. A volley of less than 40-50 missiles is unlikely to reach the AUG, as defense means are constantly evolving, but the anti-ship missiles froze in development with 70-x-80-x.

In our country, not so long ago, a tank burned out due to the fact that the conscript did not put out a cigarette, so, according to this logic, the tank should be afraid of cigarettes? The aircraft carrier itself is armored, has a large margin of safety of structures, many compartments that will absorb the shock wave from warheads, and a developed system of struggle for survivability, especially among the Nimitts and Fords. Bottom mines - this is generally from a series of jokes. I do not know such a system to get a ship from a depth of 2-6 km. To destroy aircraft carriers of the Enterprise type, the Union considered the missile consumption around 10-20 only for direct hits. And the strength and security of aircraft carriers has grown. I do not think that the admirals and shipbuilders of several fleets of the world are more stupid than couch analysts.

However, along with museums and souvenir shops, American sailors, according to local media, will also use the services of ... ducks. Due to the fact that the country's police in recent years have managed to significantly reduce the scale of organized prostitution on the coast, according to a law enforcement source, up to 40 elite prostitutes from Budva, Tivta (Montenegro) will be specially delivered under the visit of Americans by local pimps led by the Montenegrin ) and Belgrade.
According to informed sources, elite forgiveness has already arrived in the seaside towns of Croatia ... ducks and girls from escort services from Zagreb, Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the newspaper, the cost of these services, unless, of course, there are specific agreements, ranges from 100 to 500 euros per night.

And all these organizations are very subject to the influence of NATO and, accordingly, the United States.

Greece and Serbia have a state of their own. The mentality of people is also very different from Russian. And by the way, with its own traditions of political life. It is unlikely that Serbs and Greeks will like our presidential unity of mind. Yes, nobody there wants to join the Russian Federation. The maximum is the creation of a supranational association with the participation of the Russian Federation and these countries. And that is extremely unlikely, and in the case of Greece it is close to zero.

And, hello to all costs, and if they do not trample, then under the conditions of the blockade and sanctions, the base in Cyprus still needs to be maintained, and this, in addition to security, repairs, the delivery of food, fuel, ammunition. Finally, if "eternal peace" happened around Cyprus, the base would not float to a new hotbed of tension. Aircraft carriers did not just appear, as, in their time, destroyers, or submarines. Maybe it’s enough to deny the obvious, the aviation went to sea, the navy needs it. Expensive, and space is expensive, no one, however, is looking for a cheap alternative to space satellites. There is no money, but annually hundreds of billions are flowing out of Russia into offshore companies, tens of billions are stolen, there is no need to press on to tears, especially since the bourgeoisie will not distribute the saved money to the people. There is no point in a knowingly weak fleet, and a strong fleet implies the solution of all tasks at sea, many of which cannot be solved without carrier-based aircraft. What and how many aircraft carriers we need is another question, as well as the accents in the balance of the fleet.

According to a well-known insider close to the US Department of Defense, Bill Hertz in the article "Russia Flight Tests Anti-Satellite Missile", published on December 2, 2015 on the web resource freebeacon.com, Russia made the first successful test of an anti-satellite intercept missile of a promising anti-missile and anti-space defense "Nudol", developed by JSC "Concern VKO" Almaz-Antey ".
According to informed sources in the US Department of Defense, referred to by Bill Hertz, the test of this rocket was carried out on November 18. According to these sources, this test was the first successful after two unsuccessful ones.

This is in peacetime, when no one really threatens. And during an aggravation of the situation, in a threatened period or with the beginning of the database. Everything will be like an adult.
In addition to an AVU order, there is such a thing as a marching / battle formation. It determines the relative position of units / groups of ships from the AMG. This is usually:
- the air defense battalion (KAG) of the 1-2 KRUF of t. Ticonderoga, advanced 80-100 miles in the threatened direction of attacks of the RKR and EM URO, the enemy’s regiment;
- Division (KPUG) of PLO ships - 3-4 ships (FR PLO) Comrade Arly Burke in the direction of PLA / PL attacks. Usually on D launch of anti-ship missiles from their own assets;
- Division (UG) PLA / PLARK Comrade Virginia / Los Angeles. - In a free hunt for D g / a contact with AMG in the search for PLA, enemy ships.
- rear, supply ships division. Fuel (air! - too), rockets, power supplies and food.
And all this construction is covered by air patrols, AWACS aircraft, tied to a single information system of the theater of military operations.
In peacetime, the AVU is in service until the replacement of 6-8 months. In the military - until the task is completed.
So, today, it is practically impossible to crack all the degrees of "protection" of AUS / AMG without a "scrap". That is why we are planning to use the "sledgehammer" if we do not stop its deployment by conventional means until the line of the rise of aviation. But here are the cunning beasts: they already in peacetime occupy the RBD and spin their BP there. And so that sometimes the head is spinning. The attack aircraft fell, well, we think everything - flew off ... An, dutki! An hour later, the flights continue ... Seriously preparing ... asps!

If there is a desire and the aircraft carrier does not drown in the paper and interagency sea, then it will certainly be. Indeed, at sea, aviation is the most effective weapon. A rocket can destroy the enemy, but no one can do better than aviation.

[Genry]

For reconnaissance and transport purposes, you can use the aircraft and drones. A small special ship with a mowed stern is enough for launching and selection from the water.

[Zubexcom]

Personally, my opinion is that aircraft carriers are a big target in the theater of operations and not a single support ship can protect it from missiles, etc. At the cost of one aircraft carrier, you can build about 6-8 missile submarines and solve tasks without even getting close to the enemy. Effectively and not noticeable. And for the presence, a cruiser or destroyer of the far sea zone will be enough.

The operation in Syria is a very good example of the impossibility of using our aircraft carrier. Be it even three times nuclear, but it should take food, jet fuel and bonbs every two to three days. And, if the mess really will be serious, then cut off the supply chain he has no problem. And it is close to our territory. I'm not talking about the possibility of sending him somewhere to Africa or South America. The Americans have bases around the world, they can supply the AUG. We do not have such opportunities. And to protect the coast with equivalent money (including the cost of defective aircraft, 20-30 guarding and supply ships, operating costs, personnel and coastal servants), you can build much more (than on board) fighters, bombers and air defense systems (including military towns , airfields, etc.).
All talk about the need for us aircraft carriers are provocateurs who want to drop us at large inefficient costs.

Well, for basing 90 aircraft you will need three airbases (one per air regiment) and a bunch of jump airfields - for at least one regiment at least two in the north and three - in the far one. Total we have five airfields per air regiment, which even for a total of half a billion A billion dollars for construction gives us 2,5-5 billion for an air regiment and 7,5-15 billion for three air regiments - this is without the cost of the aircraft themselves :))) That would be comparable to the cost of AUG, only AUG in contrast from 90 aircraft has much greater capabilities (the same escort ships can be equipped with cruise missiles, for example, I’m generally silent about nuclear submarines).

"And the question of how it will fit into the Russian military doctrine, and what this doctrine will be like by the time the ship is launched, will probably be discussed for a long time." As always, they first build and then think about how to use it. And it will be a pitiful likeness of an American aircraft carrier. So rather there will be a long program of construction until 2050. But in the end, due to lack of funds, everything will end in conversations, like now

Before building an aircraft carrier, you need to create escort ships for it. And here "Gorshkova" cannot take so much time to mind. And ships of the frigate-destroyer type need at least 4-5 for a group.

There has simply not been a single serious incident with an aircraft carrier. If at least one aircraft carrier is destroyed in a military conflict and the protective equipment does not interfere, then I think the advisability of having an aircraft carrier will drop to zero.

I'm wondering, well, who is the "smart" who launched this thesis on the Internet? Tell me please - if you decide to have a child, what will you do first - will you take your beloved into the bedroom, or go shopping for diapers?
What happened to "Gorshkov"? The draft design was made and approved in 2003 (this is a simple matter), but the tender for it was announced only in 2005. Bookmarked in February 2006, launched in 2010 and according to plan in 2012 was supposed to be part of the fleet. In fact, due to the weapons systems that were not completed in time (problems with the POLIMENT-redoubt and artillery), it will probably go into operation in 2016. In total, for all the problems of the domestic shipbuilding industry, from sketch to transfer to the fleet - 13 years.
Now estimate how long it will take to build an aircraft carrier. A draft design can be done quickly, but the rest of the design and technical documentation will have to be done for years (in fact, several years). It is necessary to design new components and assemblies (such as catapults), build, test them ... i.e. from the moment of making the decision to the moment of laying the aircraft carrier, not 2, but at least 3-4 years will pass. And it will be built for 8-10 years as planned, but in fact - for 12 years (and that would be good) And then - a couple of years for testing before being accepted into the fleet. Total - from the moment of the sketch to the moment "in the fleet" it will take 18 or even 20 years. And if you are going to build cover ships first, then by the time the aircraft carrier is put into operation they will no longer be new, twenty years old, battered ships. no longer at the peak of naval progress.

[altman]

I suggest first to learn how to build ships of the first rank with a smaller displacement. You can proclaim, lay and build 30-40 years. Launched in 2006, the frigate has not yet entered service. At best, it will be ready in 2016. That is, it took 10 years to build a frigate. You propose to start building an aircraft carrier with unclear prospects, to swell a lot of money into it .. and get it .. in 2045 in the fleet? Until then, the goals of its use and armament will change, and a lot of things .. In order to build it, you need a clear naval concept !! Know why and for what, where to use and where to repair, who will accompany and who is the likely enemy.

Right. But on the other hand, a frigate will appear in the fleet in 2016. Well, according to your logic, before taking on such a complex project as a frigate, you should first learn how to build corvettes. "Guarding", if you remember, was introduced to the fleet in 2008. What if we postponed the design and construction of frigates until 2008?
I'm telling you. The design bureau, which was engaged in the development of "Polyment" by this time, would have died safely (due to the lack of an order for development - Polyment is not used in the corvette) and instead of getting the "Polyment-Redoubt" (namely, its lag became the main the reason for the delay in the construction of the "pot" we would be left without a modern radar and an air defense system in general. And without a team capable of making it. As a result, we would have begun to revive the design bureau in 2008, they would have started to work in any serious way, Allah knows when, the project itself There would be no one to do a new frigate either (the specialists who did the project in 2003-2006 and then would simply scatter in search of another job) and the new frigate would be laid where the thread would be in 2012, if not later. Well, we would have received our first frigate of a new type where is the thread by 2023-2025. Instead of 2016.

You are, to put it mildly, mistaken. The USSR did not build aircraft carriers. What was being built in Nikolaev could not be aircraft carriers for the simple reason that the aircraft carriers had a passage through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles.

Sometimes reading is better than speaking. Turkey would not allow a single aircraft carrier to enter the Mediterranean Sea through the straits. They did not build aircraft carriers in the USSR, and even the ideology for this was summed up: they say, "An aircraft carrier is a weapon of aggression"

Understand a little bit of the issue before arguing on topics that you don’t understand:

“Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov” (former names - in the order of assignment - “Soviet Union” (draft), “Riga” (bookmark), “Leonid Brezhnev” (launching), “Tbilisi” (testing)) - heavy aircraft carrier Project 1143.5 cruiser, the only one in the Russian Navy in its class (as of 2015). Designed to defeat large surface targets, protect naval formations from attacks by a potential enemy.
The fifth heavy aircraft carrier of the USSR missile cruiser - "Riga" was laid on the slipway of the Black Sea shipbuilding plant on September 1, 1982. For the first time, it differed from its predecessors by the possibility of taking off and landing traditional planes, modified versions of land Su-27s, MiG-29s and Su-25s on it. To do this, he had a significantly increased flight deck and springboard for take-off aircraft.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: Mayor_Vikhr

Sometimes it's better to read than talk

So why not follow this, in every way, useful and sound advice? You would have every opportunity to find out that the heavy aircraft carriers of the USSR 1143.1-1143.4 cruisers were a kind of anti-submarine helicopter carrier, and TAKR 1134.5 and later were a kind of aircraft carrier.
The same "Kuznetsov" has four fundamental differences from the American "Nimitz" - size (ours is smaller), the absence of a nuclear power plant, a springboard instead of catapults, and, finally, the presence of strike weapons.
At the same time, the dimensions of the Kuznetsov exceed a number of foreign aircraft carriers; this is not a reason to exclude it from the class of aircraft carriers, and the same applies to nuclear power plants - for many years, aircraft carriers have used conventional power plants and no one has written them down in aircraft carriers on this basis. Many aircraft carriers are equipped with a springboard - these are the Spanish "Principe Asturias" and the Italian "Cavour" and the British aircraft carriers "Queen Elizabeth" and others - there are no catapult stations on them, springboards - please. Finally - strike weapons. Many people say that the TAKR is precisely a new class of ship, because, unlike a classic aircraft carrier, it has not only defensive, but also strike weapons. But these people forget that in the not so distant past, such weapons were considered an integral feature of an aircraft carrier. The American ships "Lexington" and "Saratoga" were precisely aircraft carriers, despite the fact that they carried 203-mm guns in four towers - i.e. typically cruising strike weapons.
In other words, at the dawn of aircraft construction, they were equipped with strike weapons. Then they came to the conclusion that this was not necessary - the tactics of the aircraft carriers did not involve the use of cruising guns, and the aircraft carriers began to build without large guns. But our admirals came to the conclusion that cruise missiles (purely cruising caliber! ) could well be used by an aircraft carrier in battle - and the strike weapons returned.
In general, if you believe that the presence of "Granites" removes "Kuznetsov" from the class of aircraft carriers and makes it a ship of a different class, then please be consistent and inform the Americans that their "Lex" and "Sarah" are not aircraft carriers, but heavy aircraft carriers. cruisers. And do not forget to tell the Japanese the same about "Akagi" - he also had EMNIP at birth 203-mm

[Major_Vortex]

Andrey from Chelyabinsk, I suggested above that all ignoramuses engage in self-education before writing nonsense on the site. This also applies to you:

Article 11. Black Sea states may carry capital ships through the straits with tonnage in excess of the restrictions provided for in the first paragraph of Article 14, provided that they go by themselves, escorted by no more than two destroyers.
Original Text (Eng.)
Article 11. Black Sea Powers may send through the Straits capital ships of a tonnage greater than that laid down in the first paragraph of Article 14, on condition that these vessels pass through the Straits singly, escorted by not more than two destroyers. ”
Appendix II to the Convention defines the capital ship and aircraft carrier:
"B. CATEGORIES
(1) Capital ships include ships of the following two subcategories: (a) Surface warships, excluding aircraft carriers, auxiliary ships and ships falling into subcategory (b), whose standard displacement exceeds 10 tons (000 metric tons) or carrying guns caliber over 10 inches (160 mm);

(b) surface warships, excluding aircraft carriers whose standard displacement does not exceed 8 tons (000 metric tons) and which carry guns of a caliber greater than 8 inches (128 mm).

(2) Aircraft carriers are warships, irrespective of the displacement, built or converted mainly for aviation operations. If aviation is not their primary purpose, these ships should not be classified as aircraft carriers, even if there is a flight deck.

Original Text (Eng.)
B. CATEGORIES
(1) Capital Ships are surface vessels of war belonging to one of the two following sub-categories: (a) Surface vessels of war, other than aircraft-carriers, auxiliary vessels, or capital ships of sub-category (b), the standard displacement of which exceeds 10,000 tons (10,160 metric tons) or which carry a gun with a caliber exceeding 8 in. (203 mm.); (c) Surface vessels of war, other than aircraft-carriers, the standard displacement of which does not esceed 8,000 tons (8,128 metric tons) and which carry a gun with a caliber exceeding 8 in.

(2) Aircraft-Carriers are surface vessels of war, whatever their displacement, designed or adapted primarily for the purpose of carrying and operating aircraft at sea. The fitting of a landing on or flying off deck on any vessel of war, provided such vessel has not been designed or adapted primarily for the purpose of carrying and operating aircraft at sea, shall not cause any vessel so fitted to be classified in the category of aircraft-carriers.
»
Thus, aircraft carriers are clearly excluded from the list of ships that are allowed to pass through the Black Sea straits.

What you mistake for an aircraft carrier is aircraft cruiser. TAKR stands for Heavy Aircraft Cruiser and you do not need to invent anything else. The main armament of such a ship is rocket, and the wing is auxiliary. Otherwise, it falls under the ban imposed by the 1936 Montreux Convention on the passage of aircraft carriers through the Bosporus and Dardanelles. It is written: Heavy aircraft carrier cruiser (TAKR) "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov."

It concerns first of all you, ignoramus. Firstly, the Montreux Convention is not a universally accepted definition and classification of aircraft carriers. It merely regulates which ships have the right to pass through the straits and which are not. To do this, she uses a certain definition of an aircraft carrier, which is not used anywhere else. Therefore, you can lay out its text in full - it does not matter in the question of whether to consider a ship as an aircraft carrier.
The definition of an aircraft carrier in the convention itself is absurd.

Quote: Mayor_Vikhr

Aircraft carriers are warships, regardless of displacement, built or converted mainly for aviation operations. If aviation is not their primary purpose, these ships should not be classified as aircraft carriers, even if there is a flight deck.

Accordingly, the anti-submarine cruiser Moskva is an aircraft carrier because it was built mainly for the operation of helicopters, which (surprise-surprise!) Are also aviation :) And a corvette with a 30-mm pukalka on the bow and a helipad at the stern is an aircraft carrier too.
Secondly, even if we take on faith the definition of aircraft carriers by convention, the Soviet TAKR will NOT fall into it, because the tasks that the USSR fleet set for these ships mean aviation, as the main weapon of the ship.

I just understand, due to the specifics of my profession - a shipbuilder engineer. In addition, unlike you, I saw all the Soviet aircraft carrier in nature. If you are such a specialist, tell me, how much space does his “main“ weapon ”take on Kuza? 2(!) Su-33 fighters. And to accommodate such a "main" weapon, the aircraft carrier has an aircraft carrier architecture. By the way, it was planned to build the building following the "Ulyanovsk" building (pr. 1143.8) without anti-ship missiles. This was the only difference, he was not an aircraft carrier either. Do you know that before Kuzi there was ave. 1153 ATOMNOUS TAKR, he - what ?. The TAKR class is valid for the first ships of the 1143-1143.4 series. For them, aviation weapons are really auxiliary. For subsequent ships, this classification was preserved rather according to tradition and due to the rejection of the term aircraft carrier by the Soviet leadership. In the 60s, the LIGHT AIR CARRIER project was generally classified as PBIA - a floating base for fighter aircraft. Because of that, he stopped being an aircraft carrier. So, you teach materiel.

[Scraptor]

An aircraft carrier should not have anything extra taking up space even for 2 aircraft (or accessories), or interfering with their work.
What will happen to the aircraft on deck during the launch of these anti-ship missiles?
It was impossible to shove them into a rocket cruiser nearby, and the conference room into the headquarters ship? Or a conference room in a missile cruiser? I think his captain would be against ... But here shipbuilders decide and authoritatively "scientifically substantiate" their sabotage and delirium, and not the final customer.

[spravochnik]

What should be on AB, and what should not be, is determined by the doctrine of its use. Doctrine demands, there will be RCC. For example, on the Italian AV "J. Garibaldi" there is an anti-ship missile, on the Chinese "Liaoning" they are also provided.

[Scraptor]

This is determined by what kind of ship it is. The doctrine according to which you act requires the deterioration of aircraft carrier characteristics by all possible means.

Giuseppe Garibaldi has only short-range air defense / anti-aircraft defense, anti-ship missiles were removed from him in 2003, in order not to interfere with aircraft, Liaoning is the former Varyag, launchers for anti-ship missiles on it were also dismantled.

[Awaz]

do not entertain yourself with illusions. The financial condition is such that without aircraft carriers a kirdyk may come. Further, the expediency of these devices is completely incomprehensible to Russia. Well Russia does not wage war of aggression. To defend their territory. This is what you need to pay attention to and not build and draw beautiful and stupid barges for transporting aircraft.
Even the example of Syria shows that land airports are both cheaper and more practical and more reliable.
Do not try to grasp the immensity. It is necessary to do and do well what we can do. Learn first just to build large tankers in two years, and only then, when the thread in the better years, when there is nowhere to put money, you can build at least space rocket carriers ...
To begin with - air defense systems cover the country, at least the most vulnerable and strategic directions ...

It is very expensive. It is expensive to build. It is even more expensive to service. Although one or two aircraft carrier groups are necessary. For solving geopolitical tasks and "projecting a force presence", they are necessary. But I like a more economical approach: a command ship (with a powerful radar, electronic warfare, with a reconnaissance aircraft or helicopter) and a group of 5-7 destroyer-frigates with cruise missiles on board .Im in the cover of a pair of submarines. BDK and MDK - if landing is necessary.
Ps. And quite a "fantastic idea": to convert 941 "Shark" (Typhoon) into a submarine aircraft carrier. Everyone in the world will be in Ahtung .....

[newcomer]

in any case, a country that has access to the ocean is obliged to have aircraft carriers. expensive not expensive but we will definitely come to this. first we’ll build one, then the second ... in general, according to the statements of our Navy, we need 5 aircraft carriers. 4 in the fleets, the fifth will be in place of those going for repairs. don’t worry about supply ships_ our hand is full of it, logistics is not a problem either. The main thing is to start and finish the first Aian. further it will go on the thumb. you see, if you need to sort this out, it’s not gentle, then under such an excuse our fleet (the same Ulyanovsk) was already cut, sold out as scrap. between killed along the way many other projects (the same yak 41). and when to solve a political problem (not even a military one) we just need to show one aircraft carrier, then instead we send almost half of the fleet. friends, don’t joke like that, an aircraft carrier is a huge force. You can argue for a long time, but it is good that the leadership of the country and the fleet understands the carrier fleet. moreover, what a reserve will be even purely economic. how many specialists and just workers will be raised by prof. level. how many people will be employed at the shipyard and related workers receiving a salary.

[newcomer]

Thus, any ship can go to the bottom if the crew is not profi. I will upset you even more. we need to seriously engage in restoring the ocean fleet. and it’s precisely the impetus for this will be given by the construction of aircraft. and so why bother to go into the water after all, everything can be sunk so? while an aircraft carrier goes down to the bottom, its wing will destroy the enemy’s fleet.

[2s1122]

A money issue is a headache for all countries, even Americans. Aircraft carriers are needed by everyone, the length of the sea borders is awesome. And if Russia declares itself to be a state with a world politics, then the arguments should be weighty on the open sea.

[Wiruz]

If aircraft carriers are needed, then they are not like "Storm" or "Shkval" (I constantly confuse which of them is who). The idea of ​​a wunderwuffle with 2 jumps and 2 catapults smacks of delirium. And if you consider that the plane taking off will surely touch another, standing at the starting position ...

In short, this project is in the furnace. If you build aircraft carriers, you have to "stupidly" copy American Nimtsy and Fords - everything is beautiful and nothing more. You can, of course, try to return to the idea of ​​Ulyanovsk (one springboard and two catapults) ... but I don't know ...

[Igor39]

So to copy, you need to parse it first, or so, from memory?

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: Wiruz

If aircraft carriers are needed, they are not like "Storm" or "Flurry"

With Storm, the situation is like this - this is a pure fantasy of the Krylovites, who have never been engaged in the design of aircraft carriers. Those. At some point, the question of an aircraft carrier for the Russian Navy surfaced again, the Krylovites tried to hurry up and urgently gave birth to a draft design of a "super aircraft carrier", quickly shoving everything "modern and trendy" into it.
Nuclear ship - but with the possibility of replacing the EU with the usual type (what kind of madman will build a ship of 100 thousand tons with catapults and with conventional ES? But no final decision on the ES has been made - let there be such and such :))) Springboard or catapult? And who knows what they want up there, let both be just in case. In addition, all that the Krylovites had at their fingertips was data on Ulyanovsk, and he also had a mixed ski-cattle ... but with Ulyanovsk it’s understandable, it was designed when there was no previous experience in operating the ski jumps. Etc.
In general, when they do everything seriously, the sailors will give normal technical specifications and there will be normal project development, but what they are demonstrating now is like that, a dream of reason

[newcomer]

In any case, the history of mankind shows that all states that have reached a high level of development have seriously engaged in the fleet. I agree with you this is just a project. but about copying the Yankees ... well, I don’t know. can really do Ulyanovsk with serious modernization. because in those days it was a breakthrough project. I read my dad somewhere years ago, the Navy even raised the drawings of Ulyanovsk, but then for some reason they decided to draw in a new way. I even agree to modernize Kuznetsov. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong, but the heavy always seemed to me more necessary. flight cruise. than just a maritime airdrome like a Uyanka. because he has a serious offensive and defensive weapons. let's say make Kuznetsov atomic. and a bigger air wing. it will be cheaper. Imagine if a smith had five pieces. and don’t have to think and rack your brains. the country gets rich we will build modern.

At a right angle, it cannot fall a priori. Well, the means of electronic warfare, air defense ...
Chinese killer missiles of aircraft carriers have one problem, you need to know where the aircraft carrier is and constantly adjust the flight of the missile taking into account the movement of the aircraft carrier. Well, there’s how the GOS will work ...

What kind of missiles? Just don't say Granite. Only one country in the world, Russia, has such missiles, and then only in limited quantities. You will not build 6-8 PLA instead of one aircraft carrier either - at best 3-4. And will these submarines be able to effectively solve problems in a local conflict, to put it mildly, well, a very big question?

We have more effective things in which we are ahead of the rest of the world. Moreover, we have working samples of this technique. I am talking about cranoplanes designed by the Central Design Bureau for SEC under the leadership of Rostislav Alekseev. "Lun", "Orlyonok"
Performance characteristics:
Wingspan - 44,00 m
Length - 73,80 m
Height - 19,20 m
Wing Area - 550,00 m2
Weight:
empty aircraft - 243000 kg
maximum take-off - 380000 kg
Type of engines - NK-87
Thrust - 8 x 13000 kgf
Maximum speed - 500 km / h
Practical range - 2000 km
Flight height on the screen - 1-5 m
Seaworthiness - 5-6 points
Crew - 10 people.
Armament: 6 launchers PKR ZM-80 Mosquito.

This is a very promising direction. And if you still make a carrier ship for them? ...

[strannik1985]

Seaworthiness of 5-6 points was promised for the Rescuer, which was built on the basis of the second Lunya.

[Scraptor]

Seaworthiness is not so important, it is flying and can leave the screen or bypass a storm.

[strannik1985]

So it’s not important that KM, Eaglet and half of the layouts lost with moderate excitement?
Good pepelats which you can tear off the tail with an careless maneuver.

[Scraptor]

So it’s not very important why it was written. The tails of planes themselves sometimes fall off, submarines sink, and aircraft carriers fly into a lighthouse.

[strannik1985]

And that is why the "anti-aircraft" Lun was part of the Caspian Flotilla? Do you believe yourself?

[Scraptor]

And why would he need to sink such missiles there?

[strannik1985]

Let's even exclude 2 "closed" fleets - 2 Northern and Pacific ones remain. In order to have a stable grouping, you need at least 2 aircraft carriers. Now pr.10 -12 billion $ х4 = 48 billion. Based on the level of corruption and a stable rise in prices for government orders while they are being fulfilled (remember the Olympic facilities), approx. 50 billion $ minimum. If our budget is cut, not to the aircraft carriers.

Uh ... Not really. They do not need steam catapults or jumps under them. They need a delivery / unloading vehicle, a shelter where you can wait out the storm + to refuel, maintenance and replenishment of ammunition.
The beauty of ekranoplanes is that they are almost invisible to radars. The most dangerous enemy is that which cannot be detected. Imagine a missile (6 anti-ship missiles) boat that rushes at a speed of 500 km / h to a range of 2000 km and which the radar almost does not see ...

With such dimensions, the carrier itself will have to be made three times longer and wider than an aircraft carrier. It is difficult to imagine how much this will be in terms of displacement.

[Lord of Wrath]

Your reasoning is strange ... prestige for the country ... money ... etc.
American films have driven all this into the head. Well, those came from Britain (The rule of Britain, the rule of the seas)
And before investing trillions in another project, it’s easier to try it easier ... and see - DO WE NEED IT? For example, lay a container ship on deck and place 20 aircraft instead of 100. Which by the way was repeatedly done in the 2-th world.
And remember the pragmatic Germans who could, but did not do aircraft carriers. With the explanation that the pilots are not accustomed, there is no operational experience, and the necessary combat missions can be solved by other means

[spravochnik]

Just compare the planes of the second world and modern. Now the fighter weighs as much as the then strategic bombardment. And carries the same amount of weapons. World War II planes generally took off without catapults, free dispersal. And for modern airplanes which runways are needed. So do not bear the old experience in our time. It's not gonna go. But the Germans built aircraft carriers, and many more projects were concocted, because they were well aware of their significance. And to build a strong one was simply not enough.

mosquito fleet. exclusively defensive and meaningless in large long-range operations. he also has weapons restrictions. And the river fleet is also very necessary for the reasons that you indicated. and I want to say about mig29k / cu instead of su 33. well, then you are in vain. pure fighter for the defense of the ship, instant multifn. works on air, land and surface.

In terms of the number of BC, it is of course limited, therefore 100 units. Of course he is defensive, long-distance operations can be left for strategists, there are enough of them.)

There is an idea! It is necessary, as under Peter 1, to arrange "kumpanstva"! Everyone, officials, deputies, etc. will build aircraft carriers. Oilmen and bankers will build cruisers. Customs and traffic police and a smaller bipod will build destroyers. Separately there will be kumpanstva-chief doctors, rectors, directors of housing and communal services and others - on corvettes. And follow the timing and quality!

about aerobatics here you went too far. how much has already been said, it is written about these lions of excellent aircraft which are better_ about excellent, small differences. Su 33 created as a pure marine fighter. instant 29k / cube as multifunt. marine fighter.

We still have frigates before the aircraft carrier, but we need to make and maintain corvettes. As well as diesel and nuclear submarines. Partially the aircraft carrier will be replaced by "calibers" on all these ships. And only then take up the aircraft carrier, but this does not mean that R&D on technologies is not needed for them.

There is no story sadder in the world than the story, there is not about Romeo and Juliet, but about the Russian aircraft carrier ....
By chess standards, an aircraft carrier is a queen. Have you played chess without a queen? The fleet today cannot fulfill the entire range of tasks assigned to it. He is forced to snuggle stern to his bank. Our leaders have clearly placed our fleet in unequal conditions with our "partners".
"Yes, we are their missiles, yes we are them ....". Dear, you do not have to live during the Second World War, when there was still an opportunity to break through the air defense of the AUG combat guard. Today this probability is approaching zero. We can only hope that someone will set fire to a bucket of kerosene in the cellars of an aircraft carrier ... And tomorrow they will be completely different aircraft carriers, but they will be, because no one besides them will solve the tasks assigned to them. Therefore, our "partners" have built, are building and will build aircraft carriers, no matter how much they cost.
Now that let's first learn how to build corvettes and frigates, and only then ....
Then it may not come. Today, I simply doubt that Russia is capable of building the most advanced aircraft carrier itself. Will we ask the Chinese to build at least one aircraft carrier for us? When the chief says, the government will be ready to pay any money at the expense of the people.
There is no sadder story in the world ....

God forbid to drag Russia into a senseless waste of resources on aircraft carriers ... USSR policy in this matter PERFECTLY corresponded to goals and costs ... Proof of the correctness of the decisions adopted in the USSR on this issue was a PARITY of forces at sea ... It is necessary to build submarines, arm their anti-ship systems and do not fool yourself with aircraft carriers.

[spravochnik]

That is why the USSR came to the construction of aircraft carriers? Without them, you can’t even deploy your submarines in combat positions.

[Scraptor]

Civilian ships were converted into aircraft carriers and in WWII and WWII in 1982, but they could not be converted into submarines.

[ametist415]

The experience of the Second World War showed that under the domination of alien aircraft, submarines are almost useless. If you are on a submarine at sea, then you need air cover, which means an atomic carrier (with catapults), which will always cover you and provide goal-setting, and you protect it with your ships and submarines. So the United States. These are elementary things.

[Killj]

Well, how to protect the prestige of the country and of course, as a real combat force, this is needed from 10 or more groups worth 1 trillion dollars along with support ships and aircraft ... do they have a budget?

[Scraptor]

Why 10 at once? Enough 1-2 more, and not necessarily "two-horned monsters" the size of Nimitz

And the money for the Mistral was in the budget?

And was it really necessary to sell Gorshkov to the Indians?

[spravochnik]

Unfortunately, even Soviet calculations showed that the most effective is AB, which is close in size to Nimitz. Downsizing leads to a disproportionate decrease in combat effectiveness.

[Scraptor]

The same calculations "scientifically substantiated" something else. For example, the absence of a sloping children's deck at Project 1123, a non-aircraft tank at 1143, two bow towers at 1155, a main caliber tower at the Dolphin KMPV

The length of the aircraft carrier must be at least the distance of the aircraft landing in the emergency barrier, which is already determined by its landing speed. Thus, the total length of the aircraft carrier in size of the current corner deck of the same niece or Kuznetsov is more than sufficient ...

Exceeding this size leads to the fact that too large an aircraft wing of the ship will be destroyed or damaged at once all, along with it.

[red_october]

An aircraft carrier is a very difficult question...
Of course it is needed. But look at the state of the shipbuilding industry: we are making the most of it: we are building frigates of Project 22350 - with a creak and missing deadlines; SKR 11356 - the same thing, only for the outer 3 pcs. from 6, it is unclear how soon we will produce gas turbine units, or maybe we will sell them to the same India, which itself will buy engines for them from Ukraine; slowly but surely we are building nuclear submarines "Yasen" and "Borey" ("Varshavyanka", like "Lada" is on the way; the situation with small ships is better (although there are problems with the supply of engines for corvettes and which we plan to replace with Kolomna ones; of course, before the Germans We are far from quality and characteristics, but we are our own!), We are engaged in modernization (including deep!) of Soviet ships.
And this is already a lot! Considering the destroyed supply chains that were built under the USSR and worked without failures, and now their different elements ended up in different countries with different political preferences.
But the design and construction of new generation ships - the Leader destroyers and Shkval aircraft carriers - requires a completely revolutionary approach in 1) financing 2) human resource management - it is massively lacking!!! qualified workers, engineers, designers...3) a revolutionary leap in the development of related industries - instrument making, machine tool manufacturing... It is necessary, in the end, to build new factories and equip old ones.
If we create all this, we will get a powerful industrial leap, comparable to Stalin’s five-year plans. The military-industrial complex, civil industry, and education will enter a new stage of development and will receive new jobs.
Where will the money come from for all this: equipment, design, construction, training of people?
The answers are:
1. Annex a small but very proud oil country. Like Qatar .
2. Print money yourself specifically for these projects. We depend too much on the global monetary system, and the amount of ruble supply directly correlates with the amount of currency. If there are good economists on the site who can comment on this step, it would be great if they sort it out

[Scraptor]

On modern frigates, from a third to half the length of the deck is dedicated to aviation (hangar and helipad), and even more in terms of the volume of the hull and superstructures. What are the obstacles to giving it all to aviation? At least under SKVVP?

At least on one boat? In this case, it is not even necessary to build it anew. It is possible to remake (in fact, simplify) those that are “not subject to modernization.” Or will light aircraft-carrying frigates (LAVFR) without anti-ship missiles immediately become weapons of aggression?

[ametist415]

Money is not a problem, in the Russian Federation there are as many dollars as in the USA, but people are, yes, we do not have specialists in almost all the industries that are necessary to create an AUG.

Quote: Forest

To disable an aircraft carrier you need more than 5 hits from heavy anti-ship missiles and 20 hits from light anti-ship missiles.

Well, yes... Something like this... At one time, out of curiosity, I was figuring out how many explosives in TNT equivalent were needed to disable and sink a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. It turned out that 6 - 6,5 tons of TNT are needed for sinking, and about 2,5 tons are needed to disable it. This is if the anti-ship missile has completely consumed the fuel. If there is still fuel, then less explosives are needed.

A salvo of less than 40-50 missiles is unlikely to be able to reach the AUG, because defense systems are constantly developing, but anti-ship missiles have been frozen in development since the 70s-80s.

There are such assessments. But anything is possible. In theory, “Sheffield” was supposed to fight off “Exocet”. In the exercises that were conducted before, as expected, it fought off (who would doubt it!), but in real life it’s more complicated.
And when the container ship Atlantic Conveyor was sunk, the British with the entire squadron were able to shoot down only one anti-ship missile out of 2 (note, out of 2, not out of 20), although, according to all expectations, they should have shot down both.
So, it is better to be careful when making peacetime assessments.

We dissolved the Warsaw Pact. Has anyone in the West raised the issue of NATO's dissolution? Or maybe NATO has reduced its military budget?
You, dear Sibiralt, are looking at the wrong thing in terms of cost savings. It’s better not to look for them from aircraft carrier builders, but to look for them from Mr. Taburetkin and his harem, and find out why the Olympics cost many times more than expected. And at the same time, check what’s going on there offshore.
Something like that...
