aFTER IT ALMOST SANK ITSELF.

iN rUSSIAN nAVY, A SHIP IS FREE TO BE.

mOST CHOOSE TO BE SUBMARINES.

What's even the point in these aircraft carriers? Just deploy hypersonic missiles from subs and call it a day.

>>510142078
Wow, carriers can be killed by missiles? It's crazy that nobody has thought of this before and made an AEGIS system to counter it or something.

They should convert it to a crab boat and fish the Bering Sea, on there own side the fuckers.

who cares chinks will make a new one 6 days

Aircraft carriers are WWII technology. Americans bleating about how they're the apex of sea combat are like the European great powers bleating about how the battleship was the apex of sea combat prior to WWII. Everyone sincerely believed it and just about everyone was wrong except Japan and America; America deleted Japan's navy and now we rule the world because of it.

Nothing stays the same. The idea that 80 years later the carrier would still be the absolute best bang for your buck; especially with the modern pace of tech; is retarded. If the Russians are scrapping their carriers that means you should think twice about your own. Russian military is blooded now in a way American military hasn't been since probably Vietnam, they probably know something we don't.

They know that swarm tactics and drone warfare is the future. No carrier task fleet is going to be able to ward off a flight of 1000-5000 drones lauching missiles and shit at it plus hypersonic missiles coming down at speeds faster than what radar can detect from.

Carriers are obsolete technology, the future is drones that daisy chain perpetually in the sky via drone refueling planes.

>>510142827

>>510139477 (OP)
The future is to build a drone swarm capsule inside a whale, capable to host 10 people to operate the drones and drive the whale around.

>>510139477 (OP)
Russia is focusing on nuclear Icebreakers, they seem to believe the future lies in the frozen north
The Yakutia was finished last year, the hull and reactor for the Chukotka are done, the leningrad and Stalingrad are planned for after the Chukotka is done.
And a as yet unamed super nuclear Icebreaker, know only as project 10510, is already being built, it's twin reactors are finished and they already got started on the hull, it'll be the biggest icebreaker ever, beating the previous record of the russian Arktika class nuclear icebreaker by about 40 meters.

>>510140166
No, all of their smokestack ships run off of Mazut I believe.

>>510139477 (OP)

Hypersonic can't be guided effectively and drone swarms don't work in the open sea. One of the main upsides to a carrier is the ocean is absolutely massive and carriers can go ridiculously fast

>>510139477 (OP)
NOOOOO don't decommission insanely overpriced worthless ships that can be destroyed by a swarm of drones/missiles for 1/1000th of the price. Aircraft carriers are equivalent to battleships in WW2. They are absolutely worthless in modern warfare powered by AI missiles and drones. USA military is outdated and stuck in 100 year old methodology. Russia is adapting.

>>510142078
The Soviets and now Russians and Chinese claim they can defeat carriers. We never will know until WW3 happens.
>>510142827
It makes sense for Russia to scrap their carrier. It's been an expensive disaster and their real pride is their battlecruiser. They never intend to fight the US with a carrier. It's never been in their strategy. They have to fight the US navy in an asymmetric way. But really people the whole hypersonic missile thing is just shilled by people who want to see the US lose a war.

>>510142827
Aircraft carriers only truly have one purpose since Korea: fear projection.
Their presence brings anxiety to all local forces. Fighter-bombers, helis, launch pads for amphibious assault and C&C for joint force operations.
A floating airfield with a hotline to the Pentagon. It strikes fear in the hearts of all who dare oppose it.

And then an RC pilot with a cigar punts a hole in the hull and accidentally the bulkheads from 300km inland using 500 drones in erratic and irregular kamikaze strike patterns every 10 minutes.
Cost of drone operation: $1m per battery
Cost of carrier when it sinks: $billions, ego, reputation, shitposts all over 4chan, utter humiliation

The way weapons are developing, and some people already know of DEW, you don't want capital ships unless there's a way to deter the less-than-physical ordnance.

>>510142827
Their carrier can in no way be compared to an American carrier. They are no where close to American capabilities. Their navy is pretty much garbage outside of their battlecruisers that have never seen combat and their large amount of submarines.

>>510148132
>the whole hypersonic missile thing
They can't hit moving targets. The biggest threat to carriers are diesel electric or autonomous submarines or torpedoes

>>510147979
They don't go fast enough to effectively evade a 500m above ground hypersonic. Drone swarms should be able to work in the open sea if they have a transmitter ship (which would be easily seen by everyone).

>>510139477 (OP)
It barely works and doesn’t really serve a purpose.

>>510147979
I thought the advantages of a carrier is that it allows you to apply a traveling forward base of operations. Allowing for the conduction of aerial operations with the advantage of being able to move and redeploy locations of attack flexible. Even if we see manned aircraft replaced with mass drones I whould think having a mobile airstrip whould become more useful then before, given the large space they provide. The steam catapult may become unnecessary which whould be pretty funny I guess.

>>510148230
I'm not sure your particular drone model would work either. The japs sent drones (piloted by men) with 2000 lb bombs. They didn't stop the fleet - and those were WWII era ships. Modern designs are certainly more hardened.

http://www.navweaps.com/index_tech/tech-042.php

>>510148385
the carrier groups move at least 30 knots and nobody knows what their evasive maneuver speed is. They have so many tools to deal with missiles. They always have a cruiser and destroyers escorting them along with submarines. For the enemy to find a carrier group it's like searching for a needle in a haystack in any body of water. All the while, as soon as you attack the carrier group, the carrier knows where the attack came from and can retaliate.

>>510139477 (OP)
They didn't need it

>>510148230
With use of proper support vehicles they can greatly increase the range of operations for aircraft. Also Amarican carrier fleets have been defeated before durring war games, 2005 a Swedish sub was able to score multiple hits on a carrier and escape.

>>510148662
the biggest advantage in an aircraft carrier is bombing the enemy to hell anywhere in the world

>>510148711
I didn't think about maneuver speed, I just assumed it was pretty slow.
Once one of the hypersonics has a set location I would think it could hit with relative certainty. Shouldn't finding the transmissions from the carrier be the easy part?

>>510148129
This has to be one of the craziest COPE I've ever seen here. Today there is no combat fighter that exceeds 1,500 kilometers of combat operational range. And air superiority is a key element to winning modern conflicts, no matter how many drones you have, a plane can do things that a drone cannot. Being able to mobilize a squadron of fighter jets to any part of the planet is key for any country with a minimum capacity for power projection. Fighting without air superiority or at least without a minimum response capacity on a modern battlefield is crazy, as was demonstrated by the Iraqi army when it was literally devastated by the USAF less than 25 years ago, or by the Israeli air force a few weeks ago, when it attacked hundreds of targets in a country that HAS DRONES AND COULD NOT AVOID THAT ATTACK ANYWAY. If Russia cannot repair that aircraft carrier it is probably because they lost the capabilities to do so or because they do not believe it makes sense to have one, after all in a war scenario with NATO it would be literally impossible for Russia to dispute control of the sea.

>>510149217

I dunno I'm sure a navy fag could answer that one, but I think they basically go silent and have a very secretive network of communication when in combat. Also I would imagine those missiles are not guaranteed to hit even on a stationary target.

>>510149356
Yes, but in the minute of flight time, the ship will already be a half a mile away from the initial point. A transmitter ship will also be easy pickings for actual aircraft, not to mention the destroyer escort

>>510139477 (OP)
aircraft carriers are a meme. if anything actually ever happens. one will get sunk and then all the others will scuttle off back to their home ports to await scrapping. there might be room for some kind of specialised launch platform in the future e.g. a submersible drone launcher, but the days of the general purpose aircraft carrier are numbered.

>>510150458
True, but for now, it still is currently active as such. Straits and narrows channels are obviously the most dangerous places for carriers to be since they can't rely on speed or distance to be an effective shield for a more active engagement

>>510139477 (OP)
I laugh @ Russia but the US has abandoned aircraft carriers for a reason. Chinks are retarded and copy everyone else so they still think having a fleet is relevant in modern warfare. Look at the Houthis. All it takes is one modern missile and your ship is toast. We don't have the technology other than US laser defense to counter a literal standard 2025 missile coming straight for your stationary ship. America doesn't invest in boats or tanks anymore, it's been full blown missile and defensive tech for the past decade.

First off, all carriers are not equal. The British carriers are not very advanced at all. They are glorified escort carriers. American carriers have no equal. The only country with a carrier that comes close is the French and that thing is still tiny by comparison. Also by your logic, the US should have quit fighting with carriers as soon as they lost the first one in WW2. Or even the British. Complete nonsense. If the US lost a carrier, they would build more of them and faster.

She's a magnificent ship of the line. It's going to be a sad day when the shitskins deface it and put the torch to her along with the chapels and cathedrals.

They'll just equip them with lasers.
The timeline is 25 years give or take, at that point lasers will have progressed to the point where drones, even MIRVs are functionally obsolete.
https://toughsf.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-laser-revolution-part-i-megawatt.html

Until then drones won't provide any better anti-carrier capability than missiles did already.
And hypersonic missiles are cost prohibitive if the enemy possesses layered defenses, like all carrier strike groups do.
Drone swarms are either cost-prohibitive or too limited in range.
Simply put, carriers are drone HQ platforms with much greater range and strike capability than the shitty V2 wannabes Russia and Iran are producing.

As for why Russia is getting rid of its carrier, it's simple.
Putin has reduced the defense budget. Russia doesn't need an aging smokestack aircraft carrier.
It's only there for prestige, the only useful capability are the P-700 Granit launchers - but these are ageing and outclassed.

2002 Milinium Challenge was a US War game where a simulated Iran was able to destroy a carrier group via suicide boats and cruise missles. Utilizing surprise and an overwhelming amount of projectiles to overwelm sensors. In fact the games went so poorly for the Amarican team they shut the games down and scripted an American victory. So who know we might see a carrier go down due to command arrogance and conceit.

>>510151075
>the US should have quit fighting with carriers as soon as they lost the first one in WW2.

CSG defenses are capable of stopping hypersonic missiles, they are just less reliable in that case.
If I remember correctly the common estimate was that you'd need at least 3 well placed hits by a 3M22 Zircon to sink a US carrier and that it would take you at least 20 missiles hitting simultaneously or in very short succession to achieve this.
The entire Russian navy had around 40 3M22 Zircon missiles last year. And they are reportedly firing them at Kiev. So I doubt they have many more now.

This is retarded. The Kuznetzov is antiquated, over budget, and riddled with problems. It's been that way since they docked it for repairs. It should've been scrapped long ago but they keep it for pride purposes and I doubt they have the resources to make another or even want to. Russia's naval doctrine is not based around aircraft carriers, and really there's no reason for it to be. Russia has a weak navy that's more about defense than projection. The US is the ONLY force to have a coherent carrier and naval doctrine based around projection. Stop treating the US as the standard, it's just dumb. Wtf would the Kuz even do? Russia fights land wars, they're a land empire. It's like the Queen Elizabeth, wtf does it even do? Sail around and then get humiliated when it has to get a tow?
>air superiority is a key element to winning modern conflicts
This is US doctrine. Pretty much no country can count on actually getting air superiority other than the US. Israel claims they got it but still ended up relying on the US to actually achieve their strategic goal. Every NATO air operation has been completely supported, funded, and planned with the US in mind, the other nations just supply the bases and a few of the sorties. Moreover, Russia is not gonna get air superiority over NATO with one carrier. Even in Syria, they just built an air base rather than operating out of the Med. The result was the same.

>>510153198
Satellite sweeps are a rather poor way to collect active battle data since their sweeps are not exactly the same, their updates are rather sporadic, and there are usually only a few assigned to one area at a time. Requiring to rely on visual satellites on a moving target in the middle of the ocean is even more unreliable

Never interrupt your enemy when he's shooting at Greek owned, Iberian flagged ships crewed by Filipino and Russia sailors claiming to be targeting kikes in their shitty jihad of lobbing missiles and drones at any ship they think they can easily target. All this does is further the US' goal of painting them as terrorists on the World stage, why in the living fuck would the US stop this goldmine of a propaganda piece? I'm glad people like you (turd worlder) weren't around in the heyday of the British World Policing, as the bongs were bretty good in the art of propaganda, and you haven't the slightest clue on it.

>>510139477 (OP)
The age of the battleship ended with the carrier. The US kept them around long after everyone else, for power projection. Battleship armor was always thick enough to withstand hits from it's own sized main guns. Russia likely sees that ship as a money pit, and a giant bullseye.
Do you think Russia is capable of sinking a US carrier? Is the age of the carrier over and the Ford class a major mistake?

>>510153491
But I do concede one point, humint and sabotage is a potential factor in detection, especially in such a large community as a carrier. However that would require a rather suicidal fanaticism and such security risks are universal across all institutions and countries

You don't need to sink a carrier though, just stop it launching planes, surely it's not that difficult if you fuck up the deck enough

>>510153590
ships are sitting ducks in this day and age, one kinzhal and one carrier is gone.

>>510153797
You have to find the vessel first tho
In that case just doing some like the Cole and waiting for it to be in port would be easier

>stop this goldmine of a propaganda piece?
you've got another propaganda piece going on in jewland. that one is making you look like evil psychopaths.

>>510153916
Yes, and w/o a cell tower, it makes it reliant on limited satellite sweeps and poor latency since it's the middle of the fucking ocean. Even then, EMCON controls will pretty much immediately notice something actively trying to transmit off hull

>>510139477 (OP)
Russia probably doesn't need one. Drones, lasers, robotics, sonic and armed satellites are completely on the table.

The US has been working on this since the fucking late 50s, and you don't think the US is well aware of drone warfare and swarming tactics?

>No carrier task fleet is going to be able to ward off a flight of 1000-5000 drones lauching missiles
What's stopping the CSG from frying them with HPMs? Also, 1000-5000 drones able to carry missiles and target a CSG are going to be 1000-5000 expensive UAVs unless you want them zapped out of the sky.
>and shit at it plus hypersonic missiles coming down at speeds faster than what radar can detect from.
Not possible. The CSG all have extremely capable radar able to track an ICBM class warhead (mach 25) which enough resolution to discriminate between warhead, decoys, and rocket debris and engage or pass that data onto GMD interceptors in the US.

>Carriers are obsolete technology,
Then why is China building them at an ever-increasing rate, with them pretty much copying the US super carrier as their design to copy, as even Ping Pong with his slit eyes can see the US super carrier is still the future.
>the future is drones that daisy chain perpetually in the sky via drone refueling planes.
The US has been toying with the small UAV air refuel the other small UAV idea for decades.

>>510154324

>>510151846
By shooting it down, you utter fucking retard. How else do you think? The AEGIS system is literally designed to take out hypersonic missiles with their own hypersonic interceptors. A layered defense is having your carrier surrounded by AEGIS equipped ships linked in to a just about every US high-powered radar around the coupled with the massive space based early warning system with SM-3s for exoatmospheric intercepts, SM-6 for medium range intercepts, SM-2 and ESSM for closer last effort ranges. The space based early warning IR sats can spot a BM as soon as the booster lights off for launch and track that missile through the air well before it's any danger to the CSG, that data is feed to the CSG in real time, allowing their radar to be searching for that missile as soon as it leaves the ground practically.

F
cowardly to sabotage her, to sap her twice. not an honorable death.
The British should have challenged her to a 1v1 in the med, the Americans should have fought her in the red sea. fucking cowards.
Australia has two helicopter carriers, we should have tried to barrel bomb it or boarded her.

We who claim to command the seas, are we afraid of deck-to-deck fighting with the Russian territorial navy? Are we afraid to fight bow-to-bow? Where fell the west's honour

>>510154740
Nigga I am pretty sure I can find a stealth fighter in the sky too, while has its position lights for civ traffic on

>>510153797
Kinzhal couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, let alone a moving CSG. Even if it was as capable as Russia wishes it was, it wouldn't be able to get past the SM-6, SM-2, ESSM, or the decoys, jamming, and burning the CSG is going to be throwing at it. Kinzhal is a glorified ATACMS, and easy work for the AEGIS system.

>>510142078
hypersonicn missiles that destroy carriers don't exist
that is a real hypersonic, one that can change trajectory like a mecha anime shot
it doesn't matter, everyone has given up contest to the US except china
carriers can deal out an enormous amount of munitions

>>510154740
You can't do any TMA without active posits, especially with limited satellite sweeps over the open ocean and sweeps being hours and sometimes daily. At best you will have to rely on public ais data while piloting near ports and maybe humint if you're lucky. Finding a sag is also much easier than finding an individual ship in the formation

>>510142078
A strategic option

This is the European sailor who terrified Asia, who terrorized south America, who crushed the med, navigated the horn, who stormed Beijing, who discovered Australia, who crossed the pacific, the terror which shook the world.
Do we live up to their legacies? does the sea still belong to the White man?

American marines allowed themselves to be captured by Iran, Australian marines refused to surrender and abused the fuck out of the Iranians over radio. Americans crashed their sub into a Chinese sand dune, Australians sailors evaded two US dragnets and abused the American navy over open coms for being useless cunts. We gunboated China and didn't give a single fuck, America got rammed by a Chinese cargo ship and cried about it. Australia still lives up to the legacy of white naval power.

Next week during talisman saber we're going to sink a Chinese spy ship and let the Chinese capture our treasonous prime minister. If he wants to visit China fuck him, he can stay there

A carrier is a tool in a toolbox. It‘s certainly not outdated because of hypersonics and drones.

>>510154740
>Anonymous posters on a Mongolian throat singing message board can track our ships using internet maps.
I don't think the Navy would be sending friendly signals out during an actual war, or at least spoof the data to where it makes you seem somewhere you're not. Russia did this before, and it's not too difficult.
>You can assume our enemies should have no trouble finding the vessel.
Finding it is difficult, and hitting it is even harder.

As far as I know, there's never been a carrier that's been run on Diesel. Even your carriers run on boiling water.

The problem for America is force projection, and they need carriers for that.

>>510149848
USA needs a Navy because we're an island. It's army that is optional. 95% of active duty army should be turned to national guard. Leave training units, transfer NBCR to other branches.

Similar argument for air force: turn 90% of it to air national guard or navy, leave missile command, training units.

Return marines to naval infantry roots, put under the navy. Return to Mommy's wings.

As for hypersonics: lidar.
