They are going to be of the same dimension like USA's Gerald Ford class (100 thousand tonnes ), but the expenses are seemingly going to be 2-4 less than at their american counterparts. How? Also, Russia never needed carriers in the first place, why indulge in such vanity projects now?
with the world becoming increasingly destabilized pouring shit tonnes of cash into weapons and defense is obviously happening every where
also if they work and prove themselves and not massive lumps of shit other countries might buy them
Chase Davis
>Also, Russia never needed carriers in the first place, why indulge in such vanity projects now? It's bad size of our politicianand government, since USSR they obsessed by "we need answer for west-thingname".
Jeremiah Mitchell
Not gonna happen. They will steal all the money and be like "Lol, it dont work, Dimitri". We don't even need carriers bcause there's no good tasks for it.
Any modern country/alliance military can sink whole carrier group. Carriers are good for fighting countries withut submarines or good anti-ship weapons: Sandniggerstans and shit like that.
Colton Gutierrez
after seeing a picture of le admiral I wouldnt be surprised if that carrier for ants was the real thing
Dylan Smith
They really needed to go with a CATOBAR design, STOBAR reduces the max take off weight for a jet, therefore limits how much fuel they can carry and the weapons payload also.

>but the expenses are seemingly going to be 2-4 less than at their american counterparts. How?
It's easy to claim whatever expenses you want when you haven't even begun work on a project. Just look at the history of every single piece of military equipment ever. Like how the "Typhoon" Class was supposed to be roughly equal to the ships designated as Akula by NATO attack boats. The production of one of those types of vessels ended up costing over 30% of the military budget. Or how the Eurofighter was supposed to originally be cheaper than the F-16 or just look at the B-2.
>why indulge in such vanity projects now?
Because it's a dick waving measure. Russia still has a significant amount of ships that are in poor state from the economic depression of the 90s and 2000s that would be better off being modernized than building a carrier that has no practical use to their foreign policy or military needs. Ideally they'd go back to the original Soviet model of focusing on underwater capabilities first and foremost with the surface fleet being for defense/

Tyler Martinez
1. Russia has way cheaper labor than the United States.
2. It's easy to build a cheaper ship if you forgo some of the safety features that are required for American ships.
those arent scars they are stitches she's a foot ball
Levi Reyes
>implying Alyosha and Ivan won't try to check who can start quicker
Luis Morales
They no longer have any shipyards capable of building anything of that size. They even had to order their newest large ships in France because they couldn't build them themselves.
This shit will never be made.
Just another crappy propaganda.
Jaxson Reed

In what other way can you provide air support to your troops in hostile areas, thousands of miles away from your homeland? An aircraft carrier is the strongest force projection measure the world has besides nuclear weapons.
Joseph Sanders
wait why ukraine?
I mean they got an access to the oceans, but still... I dont see how that would be an ideal place to build ships, but then again I might be more ignorant than I realise

Brody Jones

Logan Howard
China will build it for them for dirt cheap.
Parker Russell
They got blue water dreams. But don't expect a carrier until the mid century.
They're primarily a coastal navy, guarded by subs and land based missiles. Right now they're desperately replacing the old soviet fleet with new ships. frigates are just coming, and new destroyers won't come till the next decade.
This concept is for Pajeet and marketing for the navy if they're interested.
Joshua Martin
Why do you think CSG exist? Do you even realize how many other vessels are protecting Carriers?
Joseph White
their only application in current year are airpower-dominated blitzes on small foes with obsolescent air defenses, like bosnia, kosovo or iraq
Eli Hall
I thought that's what he was getting at
Dreadnoughts just about never had a time when they were relevant, and there were dozens of elaborate, massive, expensive, magnificent boondoggles in every prestige navy on Earth at the very moment the Bismarck, the Prince of Wales and Pearl Harbor proved them totally irrelevant.
Not having troops deployed in hostile areas thousand of miles away is a good start
Jacob Barnes
they plan on making only one, and i'm fairly certain the ford class carriers are covered in reactive armor, like a tank
fords also have some stealth capability i think
consider also the russians probably just stole our plans and modified it to something they could build
Liam Evans
Thats bullshit. We have around 40 active shipyards, biggest of whome always were and still are in Sankt Petersburg. Ukraine didnt build shit in last 25 years, and even ships they had they let rot.
Robert Sullivan
here is a cool ship you guys might like
Carson Stewart
No gomrade, that is a bit realistic and still in the domain of possible. This is crappy propaganda.
Nope. They exist for power projection. That's why USA needs them and why China wants them so much.
Full CSG is perfectly capable of dealing with any enemy except nukes.

You are utterly incapable of making large modern ships. This is a fact.
William Martinez
intimidating native tribes and bombing poor arabs is the only kind of power projection they entail
Dylan Perry
Just outfit the Typhoons to launch UCAVs. Surface, launch the UCAVs to go and conduct their mission. Submerge until they're due back, the empty UCAVs then VTOL back into the launch tubes and you submerge while they're refueled and rearmed.
Juan Reyes
I assume that model is it.
The panes seem a bit small to do muach damage though. Hoe far can they go a hundred feet?
What if it is windy?
Is there a big pond in moscow you can display it in?
Joshua Russell
Remember, no military ship will ever be as pointless as this one.
Jonathan Rivera
>Also, Russia never needed carriers in the first place, why indulge in such vanity projects now?
Because Russia now has less allies and less influence in the world, so less land bases in friendly countries from which to operate.
Juan Edwards
a flying sunfish
Thomas Bennett
Only point of a carrier is force projection around the world. Russians are probably anticipating the decline of US influence, and are looking to step in or at least gain a better 'market share'
Levi Reed
>The carrier is being considered for service with the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet.
So they're going to use it to defend they oil offshore oil infrastructure.
And where will they use those carriers? Fighting seals in the Arctic?
Jace Rodriguez
>How? the salaries for russians are 1/4 of american salaries
Connor Price
That depends on which areas of the world are within the scope of their future foreign policy goals. I don't fucking know dude, maybe they want to increase their presence in the gulf of Aden or some shit. The point is that once you start pumping out carriers, you are saying to the world that you can and will be in any place around the globe within a week.
Luis Allen
>According to Russia's media, the geologists returned with the "sensational news" that the Lomonosov ridge was linked to Russian Federation territory, boosting Russia's claim over the oil-and-gas rich triangle. The territory contained 10bn tonnes of gas and oil deposits, the scientists said.
>In the early 2012 Russia plans to start the first commercial offshore oil drilling in the Arctic, on Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora Sea.[7] The platform will be the first Arctic-class ice-resistant oil rig in the world.
project power to ensure oil wells are safe from attacks maybe?
Easton Torres
But Ruskie can project their military power, well, from their territory?
Landon Howard
To a limited area close to their territory, yes. If you want to reach places like Syria and farther out, you need carrier groups.
Parker Turner
its a catfish
Nolan Lopez
>Also, Russia never needed carriers in the first place, why indulge in such vanity projects now? Because dictator of soviet fleet en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Gorshkov Was huge opponent of aircraft carriers in the past. This is why Russia "never needed carriers".
Connor James
I'm not a big fan of the complicated hulls on the projected Mistral replacement Russian helicopter carriers. They went through these things a long time ago, better resurrect 10200 with maybe a little more width for larger (Mi-8 size) helicopters and CODAG, take the hit on speed.

Since their last carrier spent more time being towed around then under its own power. The same thing can be said of their carrier killing cruiser, thing was pronounced too dangerous to move due to failure to maintain it.

Julian Smith
after copy american carriers of course they are gonna to be 2-4 less expensive
Jackson Nelson
The real reason is that it's a meme ship that will never be built.
That limitation is only an issue when planes are doing strike missions from the carrier, typical air-to-air loadouts are not even close to the weight limits.
That said, what new concepts they've published it seems they are looking to go with both. STO is far cheaper to operate as it doesn't take as much on deck personel and can launch planes at much faster rate, combining that with a less often to be used CAT allows launching of those heavier support planes when needed and not so response time sensitive strike missions without the need for a massive crew that US carrier style 4 CATs takes
Robert Baker
Exactly this. The fact you set up a poject doesn't mean you will ever finish it. Most military projects See either down scaled or canceled. Russia has to focus on other military fields and likley will not afford this project or only build one. Even the us which is declining because of the multi racial society can not keep up, in implementing state of the art technice in all of their units. Russia knows they Will Never have all units with State of the art technology and will likley abandon the carrier thing since a time more and more questions a rising about their usefulness.
Samuel Adams
Unless that thing can fucking fly, I'm good
Samuel Gonzalez
Russians always do this.
Come up with a concept, shill it like they are going to make it so they look like they are powerful, but never actually follow through with their plans.
The number of cancelled projects is getting embarrassing at this point.

This. The world had unprecedented peace just before world war 1 in pax britanica. The western powers were disarming just before world war two. Peace is just the period preparatory to war. The longer the peace the more preparation for war and the more prepared the larger the war will be. Good luck boys I hope we survive.

The thing is. People overestimate the quality of Russian military equipment. people claim certain russian jets are superior, when Russia have even conceded them to be inferior.
Whilst this project is still in development, I still question how Russia could make this for '2-4' less than their american counterparts without making any sacrificies.
Cameron Bennett
>carrier >vanity project Nice force projection you have there, Croatia. Not to mention, it's 2-4 times cheaper than American carriers because: A.) American carriers were built years ago, when shit would have been more expensive because the technology was being pioneered. 2.) It'll be faulty slavshit with cut corners.
