A huge warship, (aircraft carrier) displacement of 65 to 80 thousand tons that will carry 5th generation Su-57 Stealth fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday, we have Su-33 and MiG-29K\/Cube. In the future, our aircraft carrier should be armed with Su-57,” Vice Admiral Vladimir Pepelyaev said characteristically. The need for an aircraft carrier exceeds the number of other ships the Russian navy has. As one of the largest and most powerful military powers in the world, Russia does not have an aircraft carrier. By contrast, the United States has 11 and China has three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With such a large and advanced aircraft carrier, Moscow will gain the ability to have a permanent presence in critical areas of the entire planet, as well as the opportunity to project its military power internationally. When asked about the number of aircraft carriers needed for the Russian navy, the former vice admiral suggested that at least four aircraft carriers would be required: two for the Pacific Fleet and two for the Northern Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vice Admiral Pepelyaev has spoken about the need for an aircraft carrier to combat threats at sea. He earlier argued for the need for Russia to maintain a strong naval presence in key areas and project power globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also argued that aircraft carriers were necessary to project power and ensure national security in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. Especially if armed with a naval version of the Su-57 low-observability fighter, Russian ships will be formidable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naval superpower<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia spent money on submarines, destroyers, frigates and cruisers, which helped make Russia a formidable naval power. Moscow has the most diverse submarine fleet in the world. As a critical component of the deterrence strategy, he believes some of these submarines are capable of launching nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contrary to Russian plans, the US has already developed and commissioned the world’s largest aircraft carrier: the USS Gerald R. Ford. She is the largest warship in the world and has exceptional dimensions, being 1,092 feet (333 meters) long, with a flight deck beam of 256 feet (78 meters) and a height of 250 feet (76 meters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The former deputy chief of the Russian Navy’s General Staff revealed plans earlier this year to develop a naval variant of the Su-57 fighter jet for future carrier operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia has developed some transportable jets, but their effectiveness has proven to be limited. The Yak-38, for example, was introduced in the mid-1970s as the first transport aircraft for the Kiev-class planes. The revelation of Russia’s plans coincides with China’s development of the J-35 stealth fighter, a carrier-based variant of the FC-31 specifically designed for operations on Chinese aircraft carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The PKB Nevskoye Design Bureau<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The PKB Nevskoye Design Bureau (Proektno-Konstruktorskoye Bureau), which is part of the USC (United Shipbuilding Corporation) state entity in Russia, is working on at least two future aircraft carrier programs for the Navy, as its officials revealed at the recent international naval equipment exhibition EMDS ( International Naval Defense Show) Fleet-2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More specifically, Nevskoye PKB has been working on a government mandate since 2010 on a design of a light aircraft carrier with conventional propulsion (with gas turbines) codenamed “Varan”, with a total displacement of 45,000 tons and a maximum cruising speed of 26 knots. The ship will be able to support a Wing of 53 aircraft, including 20 unmanned aerial vehicles and five helicopters, with aircraft launches achieved by electromagnetic catapults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Nevskoye PKB is also developing a design for a 65,000-80,000 ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for both conventional and short\/vertical takeoff aircraft, manned and unmanned. In this case, the ship will have a deck with a ski-jump ramp and two electromagnetic catapults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A huge warship, (aircraft carrier) displacement of 65 to 80 thousand tons that will carry 5th generation Su-57 Stealth fighters. \u201cToday, we have Su-33…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1808],"tags":[1818,58,2194,5055],"class_list":["post-19164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-defense-space","tag-aircraft-carrier","tag-russia","tag-stealth","tag-su-57"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19185,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19164\/revisions\/19185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
