No more stirring the pot as all those HATO troops and HATO weapons in Ukraine ATM...
You upgrade ships and you want to test them and take them out and use them.
The real stirring is coming from the US and UK squealing the Russians are coming the Russians are coming like demented idiots... no evidence or proof, you just have to take their word... which is worthless.

Some warships must remain in the north, and the most important thing is that we do not know (nor will we know) whether a nuclear submarine sailed into the Mediterranean with Ustin's cruiser. In reality, the MiG-31K is even more dangerous with Kinzhal missiles than the P-1000 Vulkan missile.
Yeah, i forgot about Kinzhal. But i know the West is nervous of a Kirov. one wrong move and your carriers gone, but then again Kinzhal is safer, range is further than most carriers CAP.
Does anyone here think that Pyotr Velikiy will ever find its self off Odessa within this crisis?
I mean Pyotr Velikiy heading anywhere creates stress and tension due to her firepower. Would be an easy way to end this crisis would be to bring her into the fray.

Turks have closed the strait for all military ships. And the weaponery of the Kirov in Odessa is beyond useless.
There should be enough land based missile systems in Crimea to outmatch anything you could get with that. It is basically an unsinkable huge battlecruiser/aircraft carrier.

Heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Peter the Great" fired a cruise missile "Granit" at a sea target
Novosti VPK, 24 August. The flagship of the Northern Fleet - the heavy nuclear missile cruiser (TARKR) "Peter the Great" launched a cruise missile of the "Granit" complex at a target position in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago.
The launch was carried out as part of a planned exercise with a group of heterogeneous strike forces of the Northern Fleet (SF), taking place in the Barents Sea,
A video of the launch of the missile launcher "Granit" from the TARKR "Peter the Great" is presented on the website of the Ministry of Defense.
According to objective control data, the maritime training target was successfully hit at a distance of more than 200 km.
Also, as part of the exercise to protect sea communications in the Arctic, the crew of the cruiser practiced naval artillery combat with a mock enemy ship. The shooting was carried out by the combat crew of the 130-mm artillery mount AK-130.
Earlier, the TARKR "Peter the Great" in cooperation with the destroyer "Admiral Ushakov" conducted practical anti-aircraft missile and artillery firing at air targets.
The area of the Barents Sea, where rocket firing was carried out, was closed in advance for civil navigation and aviation flights, the press service of the Northern Fleet reports.
25.10.2022 TASS The cruiser "Peter the Great" will conduct exercises on anti-submarine training in the Barents Sea
MOSCOW, 24 October. /TASS/. The heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great of the Northern Fleet has entered the Barents Sea, where it will conduct anti-submarine and anti-aircraft training exercises in cooperation with aircraft and helicopters of the Air Force and Air Defense Army. This was reported on Monday by the press service of the Northern Fleet.
"The heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser of the Northern Fleet "Peter the Great" entered the Barents Sea to perform combat training tasks. In the Northern Fleet's combat training ranges in the Barents Sea, the crew of the cruiser began practicing combat training tasks in cooperation with aircraft and helicopters of the Air Force and Air Defense Army" , the message says.
In the near future, the cruiser's crew will conduct a series of anti-submarine and air defense exercises. A few days earlier, the crew of the cruiser "Peter the Great" worked out issues related to the preparation of the ship in the base, the admission of the ship to the sea.
At the first stage of the exercise, the operation of the ship's radio equipment in various modes of operation for the detection and tracking of air targets was tested. The role of the air target was performed by the Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft.
"Pyotr Veliky" is the world's largest non-aircraft carrier attack warship equipped with a nuclear power plant. It is designed to destroy large surface targets, provide integrated air defense and anti-submarine defense. The cruiser is equipped with modern weapons systems.
Any word on upgrades being considered? The Nakhimov project has been very silent as well, considering it was supposed to be delivered in 2022. Will it even enter sea trial before end of year?

Admiral Pave Nakhimov will surely sail again and Petr Velikiy will go for modernization after him - very likely. Why are you asking such stupid questions ? If Nakhimov is already undergoing modernization, then it is not difficult to guess that the younger ship, that is, Petr Velikiy, will undergo modernization as well. Petr Velikiy has only been operational for 24 years and it is certain that it will not be decommissioned. Think for a while before you ask such a question.

its not at all a stupid question. You have no idea of the condition and life of Peter V. The Nakhimov project has also been star crossed, any idiot who has observed this project even from a distance, knows it has been a slippery slope. So now the project has taken DECADES, the Russian navy is moving to smaller ships with hypersonic weapons, is such a large target still relevant? If you can build 3-4 brand new Leider class cruisers for the same effort as upgrading the Peter V, what would you do? Only a simpleton does not understand the complexity of the decision.

So what should we write about aircraft carriers if the "question" is how relevant is the most armed warship in the world ? Peter the Great is constantly operational and is probably one of the best maintained Russian warships. Since the beginning of this year, he has participated in at least 2 voyages and is preparing for the third. The fact that the ship has not been modernized does not mean that it is in bad condition, and it should be borne in mind that this ship also has S-300FM missiles. And as it is, it is a big and dangerous machine, because these ships of project 1144 have a huge arsenal of anti-aircraft missiles. Perhaps the modernization on Peter the Great should only be done so that the short-range Kinzhal system is upgraded and the UKSK for 80 missiles is installed. Instead of the S-300F and S-300FM systems, it is necessary to install revolver containers for missiles from the S-400 system. The Nakhimov had not been maintained over the years other than being solidly preserved and thus not deteriorated as a combat unit. These two ships will serve for sure until the mid or late 2040s in the Russian Navy. If something from the time of the USSR will survive for a long time in the armament of the Russian army, then it is the Tu-160, Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS and these warships. The same applies to a lesser extent to the MiG-31, Il-76M and An-124.

The decision is not the same. We already see Russia has decided to refurb the Kuz, and its a slippery slope again. At the same time they are building 2 large Mistral like ships and its an open question what the aviation component will be. As for P V, there is a highly desirable replacement in the Leider Class which is WELL within Russias capability to built (using the nuclear plant from Subs or ice breakers) and the fact that missiles today are FAR smaller so the capabilities of PV can be offered in a much smaller platform. So option 1 - BRAND NEW Leider class x 4 w 30+ year lifespan option 2 PV full update to match Nakhimov, old nuclear plants, whole host of unknowns, possibly as much or more $ only 2 ship class, shorter life span and does little to advance the state of the art of Russian ship building.
November 1, 2:52 p.m The missile cruiser "Peter the Great" went to the Barents Sea to carry out air defense and air defense tasks Last week, the cruiser already fulfilled several planned tasks of combat training, including interaction with the crews of nuclear submarines
MURMANSK, November 1. /TASS/. The heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Peter the Great" went to the training grounds of the Northern Fleet in the Barents Sea for training and combat tasks, including training in anti-submarine and anti-aircraft defense. The press service of the fleet announced this on Tuesday.
"For several days, the crew of the cruiser Peter the Great will continue to work out interaction with shipborne aviation - anti-submarine and search and rescue helicopters Ka-27 of the Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Northern Fleet. Shipboard exercises on anti-submarine and air defense will also be held," the press said. -service.
Earlier, last week, the Peter the Great cruiser had already completed several planned combat training tasks in the Barents Sea, including working out interaction with the crews of nuclear submarines. The heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great is the world's largest non-aircraft carrier attack warship equipped with a nuclear power plant. Designed to destroy large surface targets, provide integrated air defense and anti-submarine defense.

The heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser (TARK) "Peter the Great" may be withdrawn from the combat strength of the Russian Navy, a source in the naval sphere said.
According to a TASS source , the issue of withdrawing "Peter the Great" from the combat strength of the Navy is being decided, since the experience of repairing and modernizing the same type of TARK "Admiral Nakhimov" has shown that this will be very costly.
In June 2013, the Sevmash defense shipyard signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense for the repair and modernization of the Admiral Nakhimov heavy nuclear missile cruiser, which has been moored at the shipyard’s berth since 1999.
Recall that a source in the military-industrial complex previously reported that the Admiral Nakhimov project 11442M heavy nuclear missile cruiser (code "Orlan") would be transferred to the Russian Navy no earlier than 2023.
