Re: Russian Navy: Status & News #3
By the same token, if the RF needs conventional and/or nuclear a/c carriers (which they confirmed in the affirmative), then they'll be built. And since they already have nuclear icebreakers but not a/c carriers, they'll now need them even more than the former.

Yes, there are like 11-12 of them floating at this moment, question is, how many are built by Russia?

Re: Russian Navy: Status & News #3
Government says new monster icebreaker will become reality
So, Russia will have the reactors for her new nuclear a/c carriers.
For comparison, the reactors on the Nimitz class CVNs have 104MW output https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A4W_reactor..the “Lider” will be 205 meter long and have a deadweight of at least 55,000 tons. It will have a nuclear powered engine based on two new-model RITM-400 with an effect of at least 110 MW. https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/arctic-industry-and-energy/2016/12/government-says-new-monster-icebreaker-will-become-reality

The most efficient heavy icebreaker is a nuclear 1!
Heavy icebreaker does not equal nuclear, why would it. With their wast fleet of oilers and auxilary ships and fairly small frost affected sealines compared to Russia diesel powered breakers are more than adequate.

To start with there is no adequate shipyard available, actually there is very little available at this moment for such major project. In decade... maybe, now... dont make me start. Its not lego, it doesnt work the way most of you imagine it either, "oh ye see, we have built nuclear icebreaker, lets enlarge it 5 times, and strap some airstrip to it, and whoala, mighty Shtorm is there".
I am even skeptical about production of marine grade steel of such quantity and quality in Russia at this moment, judging by problems recent submarine projects had due to steelworks underperfoming and overpicing their products. Lets not go any further into million and 1 challenges of such project.

Excuse me, which submarines? Borei seems to be fine, same with all the Kilo class subs. So you are saying their subs are spotty quality now?

Pure intoxication.
Nothing said that means a real technological limit that Russia can not reach in the following years.
To build a ship of 100000 tons is nothing technologically outstanding. Countries like South Korea, Japan, France or Finland have been building ships over 200000 tons. It means these countries (and others) have shipyards big enough to build aircraft carriers of this size. The intoxicators are saying that Russia can not have a shipyard like those that are real today in countries like Finland? Just a weird joke. A shipyard for a ship of 100000 tons means nothing technologically outstanding today.
And to order ships over 100000 tons is also nothing outstanding. Private companies have been doing it, private companies that are a lot weaker economically than Russia, private companies that manage not a superior technological level than Russia.
The intoxicators are talking about lack of technological capabilities of Russia, a country that has been leading by decades the technologies that allow to build spacial stations. Absurd.

Re: Russian Navy: Status & News #3
In the long run, heavy conventional icebreakers, if used extensively in both Arctic & Antarctic (where the next big war may erupt to divide it), will cost more to operate than the nuclear powered 1s, since they'll need to be refueled & carry all that fuel instead of aviation fuel for helos &/other cargo/supplies. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/science/russia-to-induct-largest-n-icebreaker-in-2019/articleshow/57276085.cms..we need to construct some number of ice breakers, harden our ships to operate in the High North and overall be prepared to face the extreme increase that we’re seeing on the part of Russia across the Arctic Sea. http://now.tufts.edu/articles/why-oceans-matter
BTW, 4y ago India also planned to acquire icebreaker for polar exploration: http://zeenews.india.com/news/eco-news/india-to-acquire-icebreaker-for-polar-exploration_852366.html http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/stories/article/65674india_eyes_icebreaker_to_use_in_arctic/
The new Russian super icebreaker will be 205m long; the Nimitz CVN is 332.8m, or by 127.8m longer, so it's not 4-5 times difference. https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/arctic-industry-and-energy/2016/12/government-says-new-monster-icebreaker-will-become-reality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimitz-class_aircraft_carrier
As I wrote before, to save time & $, the 1st 2-3 Russian carriers may be conventional, under 95,000T.

No, i am talking about steel. I linked a year ago or so article about issues regarding marine grade steel production in Russia. As steelworks refuse to produce fairly small amounts Russian shipyards require for the price state is offering to pay as they claim such production is not profitable for them in any way (logical, no).
Also some batches of that steel werent of adequate quality, that being one of reasons why Russia obtained fairly significant amounts of marine grade steel from South Korea though years. I am not really informed on which projects used which steel batches, for that you would need to know someone in shipyards and i have no connections or sources in shipyards except Admiralty.
I hope you see where i am coming from as carrier is far more demanding project in this manner, especially in terms of quantity of steel.

So, tell us, which is the shipyard currently available in Russia that can build a 100000t carrier. Enlight us, because i do not know one, nor does anyone here i assure you. But you obv do, so we can inform Kremlin too
Yes.. private companies that are...biggest shipyards in the world. Its like you say that Russia can build better car than Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman, because Russia has more money than Mercedes... mindblowing logic
Space station and carrier, are not... you know... same cup.

Once zvezda shipyard is operational, it can do up to 130,000 tons.

Icebreakers use normal marine grade steel for structural integrity and hull to my knowledge, special HSS steels are used for surfaces that are in contact with ice, and are far thicker to provide for years of service where steel actually gets partially worn away.
I might be wrong here, but i personally dont have big time trust in Chinese steelworks. Tho i did hear from first hand that Chinese cold forged tank gun quality is beyond outstanding.

Anyway, Zvezda will be operational at latest in 2019.
Currently, the shipyards able to cope with a ship of that size are Zaliv (in Kerch, Crimea) and most probably Sevmash (where they refitted the carrier for the indians).

Once check clears the bank they couldn't care less about losing face.
Fact remains that for the price of one supercarrier you can buy entire new Pacific Fleet.
Not upgrade it. Not supplement it. Buy whole thing brand new from scratch, both surface and sub segment with pair of new helicopter carriers on top.
So which makes more sense?

Yea... same as Ivan Gren was to be operational in 2009. right ? We have saying here, first jump, then say "hop".
Are you for an example aware that certain shipyard in Croatia offered to build a carrier to India and Russia few years back, doesnt really mean they can do it. Whole Croatia put together couldnt just weld the hull in a decade.
Kerch would require massive investments to do so, investments that would reach the cost of a carrier.

Its easier to build a super carrier than to convert one already existing hull half the size? That i am afraid is not and cant be true. Let alone those two are of two totally different categories. Russia simply lost the know-how for carrires and countless other things, i am not sure how you people do not understand that. I mean.. not like Soviet Union really ever mastered anything about carriers but hey... they tried best they could.
Steel can be recycled and used for something else, i would not reuse that steel for capital ship again tho. It could be recycled in Russia too probably, would take a while, but why not.

That's to pessimistic, i say 2040, if they sign before 2025.
