as of now this is the most potent anti carrier missile

the Chinese will still have to do a lot to perfect the ASBM , which i believe is more of a deception on a strategic scale to thrown panic into US military planners

OGAS LETS MEET THE ADMIRAL KUZNETSOV AIRCRAFT CARRYING CRUISER

[img]http://battlemachines.files./2015/01/33.jpg[/img]
The Admiral Kuznetsov is an aircraft-carrying cruiser – in other words, an aircraft carrier with powerful missiles. Russia is the only country in the world with such a heavily armed aircraft carrier as the aircraft carriers of other countries are essentially just floating airbases.

The Admiral Kuznetsov is very well armed. It needs escort ships, too, but not as many as its American counterparts. It can defend itself if necessary:

The ship has a Granit anti-ship missile system equipped with 12 surface-to-surface missile launchers. The Granit missile (Nato codename SS-N-19 Shipwreck) is reported to have a range greater than 400km and is capable of carrying either a nuclear or conventional warhead.

The kinzhal air defence missile system, with 24 vertical launchers and 192 missiles, defends the ship against anti-ship missiles, aircraft and surface ships.

The system has a multichannel electronically steered phased array radar and can achieve a firing rate of one missile every three seconds. Four targets can be engaged simultaneously in a 60°×60° sector. The range of the system is 12km to 15km.

The Kashstan air defence gun / missile system, supplied by the Instrument Design Bureau and Tulamashzavod JSC in Tula, provides defence against precision weapons including anti-ship and anti-radar missiles, aircraft and small sea targets.

Eight systems are fitted, combining missile launcher, 30mm twin gun and radar / optronic director. The range of the laser beam-riding missiles is from 1.5km to 8km. The gun can fire up to 1,000 rounds a minute in the range 0.5km to 1.5km. Six AK630 AD 30mm air defence guns are also fitted.

The ship is equipped with an Udav-1 anti-submarine system with 60 anti-submarine rockets. Udav-1, supplied by the Splav Research and Production Association in Moscow, protects surface ships by diverting and destroying incoming torpedoes.
The system also provides defence against submarines and saboteur systems such as underwater vehicles. The system has ten barrels and is capable of firing 111SG depth charge projectiles, 111SZ mine-laying projectiles and 111SO diverting projectiles. The range of the system is up to 3,000m and the submarine engagement depth is to 600m.

Admiral Kuznetsov's main fixed-wing aircraft is the multi-role Sukhoi Su-33/mig 29k. It can perform air superiority, fleet defence, and air support missions and can also be used for direct fire support of amphibious assault, reconnaissance and placement of naval mines.

For take-off of fixed wing aircraft, Admiral Kuznetsov uses a ski-jump at the end of her deck. On take-off aircraft accelerate toward and up the ski-jump using their afterburners.

The flight deck area is 14,700m² and aircraft take-off is assisted by a bow ski-jump angled at 12°. The flight deck is equipped with arrester wires. Two starboard lifts carry the aircraft from the hangar to the flight deck.

The ship's radars include a D/E-band air and surface target acquisition radar, an F-band surface search radar, G/H-band flight control radar, I-band navigation radar, and four K-band fire control radars for the Kashstan air defence gun / missile system.

The ship's hull-mounted search and attack sonar, operating in the medium and low-frequency bands, is capable of detecting torpedoes and submarines. The anti-submarine warfare aircraft are equipped with surface search radar, dipping sonar, sonobuoys and magnetic anomaly detectors.

russia never disappoints

Explorers:
It costs $7 million per day to operate the newest class of US Aircraft Carriers, the Gerald R. Ford Class.

OP, u really wowed me....keep it up. I love your post and I learnt a lot ......thumbs up.

Vince77:
This reminds me of my dream of being a pilot.

You can still live that dream,...virtually speaking.


Try FSX, Xplane10 or Prepar3d using Trinus VR

nemesis2u:


the list is in random order
the list shows the coming aircraft carriers.
the Russians have started work on their Project 23000E Storm Russian aircraft carrier it is in the design phase it will be nuclear powered.
the Chinese are in the final stages of designing their Type 001A Chinese aircraft carrier, don't know if it is going to be nuclear powered or not.
the Indians are in the initial design stages with the INS Vishal aircraft carrier, it is going to be nuclear powered and come with American carrier technology.

as for the Americans I posted the pic of the airborne carrier from avengers because DARPA is looking at futuristic technologies to build such advance carriers. we have to wait for next 30 years to see what comes out.
u can count me out because by then I will be reincarnated in another life
the USS Gerald R. Ford type super carriers are the ultimate carriers for now and for the next 30 years, nobody will be able to rival it.
it the next 30-50 years airborne carriers with the capability to launch UCAVS etc. is very much possible.
next 3-5 years American will design systems installed on Boeing planes / military planes capable of launching hordes of swarming small/medium sized UAVs which will interact with each other autonomously and do their missions.

Pls what does it mean being nuclear powered? Can u lecture me?

i fail to understand your question and its context

aircraft carriers are generally nuclear powered to take care of the huge amount of energy needed to drive the carrier and its various sub systems and also for limitless endurance limited by by only food supplies and human fatigue.

however smaller tonnage aircraft carriers are conventionally powered and are therefor handicapped when it comes to operational range and capabilities along with rather limited no of air elements ( fighters helicopters etc )

So does it mean nuclear aircraft carriers are not powered by gas?

Nawah with all this yet ISIS is dealing with innocent people. Why spend such money on military hardware yet so much hunger and poverty in this filthy world. I can overcome all of this military might if God is by my side.

Hahaha haha hahaha a..........

U are a funny dude. I reserve my comments.

5 billion gone just like that!

Explorers:
These huge machines have up to seven decks stacked under the flight deck and a massive superstructure. This is required to house a crew of around 5000 technicians, pilots and sailors.

Is there a place to purchase a poster of the cutaway of the carrier? Thanks
