[Official] 'Peter The Great' News Thread:

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.

Wouldn't they be better sending Peter the Great into Med to stir out that NATO build up? And what is this nuclear test they want her to defend?

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.

How many missiles can a Mig 31 equip at once?

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.

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.
