"Aircraft carriers are no longer needed": the West said that the appearance of the Oreshnik changes the balance of power

47

Russian hypersonic missiles "Oreshnik", equipped with multiple warheads, are capable of hitting targets with high accuracy, which allows them to disable aircraft carriers. This is written by the authoritative American magazine The National Interest. The publication notes that ships of this type are an easy target for the Russian IRBM.

When the Russian missile "Oreshnik" struck the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk, tears flowed from the eyes of the guardian angels of aircraft carriers around the world

– The National Interest points out.



The author of the article adds that the Russian IRBM is a kind of hypersonic shotgun.

In this regard, assessing the continued feasibility of the existence of aircraft carriers, the publication notes that the costs of their production are too high compared to Russian missiles.

According to American calculations, the Russian Federation must spend a little more than $40 million to produce one Oreshnik, while the production of just one Nimitz-class aircraft carrier costs the US budget $6,2–11,2 billion.

Even if up to 50 missiles are used to destroy one aircraft carrier, their cost will be significantly lower than the price of the ship.

- noted in the material.

At the same time, the publication admits that just one Oreshnik MRBM would be enough to destroy the American aircraft carrier.

    What nonsense! Hazel is not for moving targets, but for stationary ones.

      Well, it can be nuclear. And that means it can be used to strike areas with all the accompanying damaging factors, for example, EMP. And the electronics that have failed on board the aircraft mothership turn it into a trough. Well, and then, according to the good old Soviet method - why not send in Onyxes and daggers. For polishing, so to speak...

        Moreover, one Oreshnik carries 36 nuclear warheads. Yes, each one is one megaton - not a single aircraft carrier group can hide tongue

      The weakest thermonuclear weapon detonated at an altitude of 3 km above the AUG kills not only the aircraft carrier but also the entire AUG. In Soviet times, there was a problem delivering the product. Now Oreshnik flies to the "Target" in 10-12 minutes, during which time the AUG will move at full speed about 7-9 km. That is, Oreshnik doesn't give a damn about the AUG's movement. It throws 6 thermonuclear weapons in a bunch and THAT'S IT!!!. Then the radiation burns everything and everyone, the shock wave can cause a tsunami, in half a minute the radiation will "disinfect" the territory. That's why the Anglo-Saxons have moderated their ardor, otherwise they would have covered the Ukrainian Reich with planes and Tomahawks up to their heads.

    The main thing in such weapons is the guidance system. There will be preliminary target designation, there will be additional reconnaissance of the target during approach and finally a homing head on the missile itself, then there will be an accurate hit. But for now this is a weapon against stationary objects.

      Nobody is stopping you from launching five or more Oreshniks at an aircraft carrier - it's worth it... Moreover, over time, the accuracy against moving targets will be improved, it's just a matter of time.

    Oreshnik is based on a missile designed to destroy stationary objects. And if it is with a nuclear warhead, then precision is not particularly needed. And the aircraft carrier goes about 20-25 knots.

    I don't quite understand, what's so special about this hazel? Just blanks, cones without a charge, capable of piercing concrete floors. So what? Hitting an aircraft carrier - well, maybe only at a mooring. And the launch itself will cause the enemy to warn about a missile attack with all the consequences. Well, maybe it's cool only in the Ura-patriotic information field?

    Well, you understand that an object flying on new principles at a speed of (let's say) 7-10M cannot re-target in flight at a moving target? This is how it differs from a missile with rudders.

    In a nuclear war, all ships have a single purpose. Launched missiles, lifted planes into the air, so the mission is accomplished. Why write nonsense. By the time the hazel tree reaches the aircraft carrier, it will have lifted all the planes into the air.

    The aircraft carrier is moving and the Yuzhmash plant is standing still - you haven't noticed the difference.
    A ballistic kinetic object, essentially a projectile, will pass right through and will not cause any harm to the aircraft carrier.
    This is what the Pentagon thinks after reviewing the results of the strike on Yuzhmash.
    Besides, a plant is square kilometers, while an aircraft carrier is more compact.
    From their assessment, only a direct nuclear strike could theoretically take out an aircraft carrier, and even then the support group would not be affected.
    They have already conducted mock-up experiments (in the 60s-80s) and came to the following conclusions.

    This information dump (The National Interest) is probably supported by our money. And was there already a country where cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and jet fighters and bombers really fought, and did it help it much? The "ringing" about the hazel tree is a ringing of bells for our country.
