MW: thanks to the modernization of the Admiral Kuznetsov, it was possible to reduce the number of its crew by 20%

April 14 2023 12

Military Watch Magazine drew attention to the information of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the beginning of the formation of a new teams for the modernized aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov". According to the publication, the only Russian ship has undergone a major modernization, which has not only improved its performance, but also reduced the number of crew.

Next year, the only Russian aircraft carrier, after a major overhaul, will be commissioned by the Northern Fleet. Work on the modernization of the ship took almost seven years and affected all of its systems. As a result, it was possible not only to increase the combat power of the ship, but also to significantly reduce its operating costs.

A number of upgrades to the ship were envisioned, including upgrades to the propulsion system, radar, defense systems, electronics, and at least part of its fighter wing, and possibly even replacing its P-700 cruise missiles with more modern Zirkon hypersonic missiles (this information has not been confirmed). sources in the defense industry - ed.). However, the most notable confirmed improvement on the Admiral Kuznetsov has been a significant increase in the level of automation, which will reduce the crew from 1900 to just 1500. The fact that Kuznetsov was able to achieve a reduction through modernization, rather than commissioning a completely new ship, represents a very significant achievement.

writes MW.

The publication adds that Chinese partners provided great support to Russia in the modernization of the aircraft carrier. The PLA Navy is armed with two ships built according to the project of Admiral Kuznetsov, but with more modern equipment. China's experience in building its aircraft carriers could be used by Russian shipbuilders.

If China has two of the same type, then sell them a third one, because for the Russian Navy this aircraft carrier is only an expensive burden for the entire service, it is impossible to use it in the NWO, and it is not advisable, and there is no escort for distant sea zones. It is high time to sell and not waste large sums of money and shipbuilding capacities on an expensive and unnecessary "elephant". What guided the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation during the long and expensive repair of Kuzi - the possibilities of "development" of big money and big kickbacks, there are no other explanations.

  Sell yourself to the Nazis, maybe you'll grow wiser later, but it will be too late. And "Kuznetsov" to us, oh, how still useful!

Well, of course, without the Chinese, the Russians would not be able to update the air cruiser, all the propaganda of the West invents fables for days to humiliate the Russians, and what cool Western technologies. The "invisible" f35 turns out to see the launch of the ICBM at a distance of 800 km and, if desired, can shoot down at the start))

  My opinion is that the launch of the ICBM should be preceded by the launch and explosion of small nuclear charges in the atmosphere, such as to interpose a zone of high electromagnetic perturbation between the initial course of the ICBM and the possible intercepting course of the F35s , basically blinding them, specially made and also containing Magnesium and other metals that will turn into an optical and radar barrier with some persistence. Fake ICBMs can also be launched first (as long as they have the same radar profile) so as to find the F35s and then blind them. In general, the concept of "counter-information" at the operational, functional and preventive levels should be extended from the desk to the actual strategic battle.

The Navy should focus on large submarine drones capable of carrying individual missiles close to the enemy's coast, then launching them from the shortest possible distance to the land target; basically larger torpedoes that contain only the launch silo, missile, and the tools to move and direct. near the coast the rear end is sunk; thus bringing itself upright, and then the missile is launched. basically it is already in enemy territory and it is difficult, if not useless, to intercept it.

  Have you tried writing in Russian for Russians in Russia, if you have already mastered reading a Russian article?

I'm afraid that optimization will not lead to anything good, as always, no matter how it comes to one member of the crew, the watchman at the gangway

Good news, finally! During this time, it was already possible to build a second new aircraft-carrying cruiser with escort ships!

Well, yes, where are we without the Chinese! They themselves taught them how to make aircraft carriers by selling them their Soviet one, and now you see, we can’t even repair the blue-footed ones ourselves!
