Launch of the Admiral Nakhimov reactors: what the updated cruiser will be like

November 22, 2023 26

The modernization of the future flagship of the Northern Fleet, the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov, is nearing completion. The launch of the ship's reactors is expected at the end of this month; the final transfer to the Ministry of Defense should take place in the first half of next year.

As a result of modernization, the cruiser will significantly increase its striking power. The SM-233 launchers, which had the P-700 anti-ship missiles, and the B-203A launchers for the S-300F anti-aircraft missile system were replaced by 80 universal launchers for the P-800 Oniks and 3M54 Caliber missiles.

The Admiral Nakhimov air defense system has been modified to take into account modern threats and is capable of simultaneously intercepting up to 48 incoming medium- and low-altitude air attack weapons, including stealth anti-ship missiles and kamikaze UAVs. Four modules of the Pantsir-M/Palitsa shipborne anti-aircraft missile and gun systems from the Tula KBP, which form the cruiser’s closest anti-missile barrier, are responsible for defeating air targets. The target detection range of these radars has been increased to 4-130 km, while for previous models it reached about 160-70 km.

To intercept and destroy air targets at long range, the nuclear-powered cruiser is equipped with a ship-based version of the S-400 air defense system with ultra-long-range 48N6DM and 40N6 missiles. To intercept targets beyond the radio horizon, secure radio target designation channels provided by A-50U AWACS aircraft or the Irbis-E and Zaslon-AM airborne radar systems of Su-35S fighters and MiG-31BM interceptors can be used.

Such an impressive arsenal of missile and anti-submarine weapons, coupled with the most modern air defense system, will make the cruiser Admiral Nakhimov one of the most armed and versatile warships in the world.

In 1144, the Project 1988 heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Kalinin (now also known as Admiral Nakhimov) had quite accessible over-the-horizon location, that is, being in the Gulf of Finland, it saw planes over Moscow, which is about seven hundred kilometers.

And this whole bunch of weapons can be easily disabled by a couple of underwater drones.

  Well, or 5 surface units. And they fell on them like sparrows from machine guns..
  Is it really not smart enough to make nets that shoot out 30-50 meters from the ship, which will even go 10 meters under the water... Yes, just turn on your head, then there are a lot of simple ways to protect against drones. The main thing is to create an obstacle for the drone to move forward.

The name is unfortunate! All "Nakhimovs" drowned, and with human casualties. You cannot name a ship after a person who voluntarily, without a fight, sank the entire fleet. The sea does not forgive this! And this one won’t float for long!

  I did some research but didn't find the event you're talking about; If you help me find it I'll be grateful.
  If the ships with that name are bearers of a nefarious fate, one can intervene, sometimes (often) these facts are linked to spiritual realities closed in a "loop", in a recurring and repetitive ring; but the "ring" can be broken and the "nefarious" destiny can be restored; you just need to know how to do it, and to do so you need to know the initial causes, understand them (which does not mean justifying them), heal them (we are always talking about acting from the physical world in the spiritual one ) and send the resolution, which is similar to the "resolution of sins" existing in several religions.
  I know that many of you smile at my words, but believe me, the Spiritual World is concrete and has the ability to act on ours.

  They forgot to ask you. Not a single ship is named after you.

  First of all, don’t lie, otherwise funeral Italian English-language music with the slogan Requiem rushed into the muddy waves of the Internet to look for confirmation of your lies. And I didn’t find it!
  
  You cannot name a ship after a person who voluntarily, without a fight, sank the entire fleet.
  
  During the Crimean War, Nakhimov at the entrance to Sevastopol Bay was scuttled by wooden Russian ships of the Black Sea Fleet, and not the entire Russian fleet. And it was sunk for two reasons: firstly, the wooden ships were not able to withstand the overseas ironclads; secondly, he closed the entrance to the bay to the ships of the aggressors.
  
  The sea does not forgive this! And this one won’t float for long!
  
  Cetron (Peteris) better remember the fate of your namesake, the bloody chairman of the Cheka, Yakov Peters, who was spanked on April twenty-fifth, 1938 at the Kommunarka training ground. Where will you run when the Russians return their rightful lands, bought by Peter I, from the Swedes he defeated?

4 modules of Pantsir-M/Palitsa shipborne anti-aircraft missile and gun systems from the Tula KBP

Not 4, but 6 and not Palitsa even once. The whole article is like this...

The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy will have a headache - not how to use it, but how to preserve this dinosaur of the 20th century. All NATO headquarters will hunt for his skin and supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with any necessary weapons. These main stakeholders are the British, who are always wary of any fleet, especially of non-friendly countries.

"Zircons" with a nuclear warhead could significantly improve the cruiser's stay, for example, in the Mediterranean Sea or in the Far East. In the upcoming thermonuclear finale of the confrontation between NATO and Russia, which will likely begin in the European theater of operations, each missile launch platform with the ability to strike with minimal time spent on approach may be of key importance.

  The Armed Forces of Ukraine will not reach there; even if they do, only a few will do so covertly, and such a monster requires many coinciding circumstances to harm it, although during the SVO increased readiness and vigilance are necessary everywhere.

    What kind of ship is there that we are afraid to use even against the crests, who have no fleet at all? Can you hear yourself at all? For parades and flag displays? Dear toy, don't you think? This is completely nonsense.

    Yeah. And in the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea, the States probably have naval and inlet nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and boats, not ocean-going ones.

      But using a nuclear cruiser on a limited theater of operations in the Black Sea is initially a crazy idea, this is a ship of the open seas. And his enemy is different. Fireboats. Regular boats will suffice in the Black Sea. Because Ukraine has no fleet

        Replica. The United States feels impunity and sends AUG to intimidate anywhere. But this is for the time being, until the time when they will hit you on the horns (AUG). And such a time is approaching.

        Statement of the future, and here only observations and extrapolation. The PRC fleet is already on par with the US fleet, and will soon surpass it. So they will hit you with hypersonic ones if things continue along the current path, and the Russian Federation and Iran with the DPRK and others may add more. The EU will not get into a big fight, they have become too decomposed and softened... Are you just caring for the US fleet, are you tied up in something?
