Russian military personnel revealed that nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are still in design

A source within the Russian government's Military Industry Committee recently shared with the press that the design process for Russia's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been ongoing for approximately two years. However,分歧 still exists among various factions regarding the proposed design. As reported by Russia's Izvestia a few days ago, a senior official from the Russian Navy Command, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the overall design of the nuclear-powered carrier is based on 1980s technology, making the proposal somewhat outdated. The blueprints provided by the Navy are reportedly from the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier, which remained incomplete when the Soviet Union collapsed. Originally, plans indicated that the new nuclear-powered carrier would be completed by 2020. However, by that time, the U.S. would already possess the latest Ford-class carriers. Additionally, the Navy expressed dissatisfaction with the carrier's oversized hull, which presents a larger radar cross-section, making it easier for enemies to detect. Furthermore, this design lacks the advanced electromagnetic catapult systems installed on American carriers, relying instead on the slower steam catapult technology. In November 2011, former Russian Navy Commander Vysotsky announced that Russia would establish two aircraft carrier strike groups by 2027. Presently, Russian Navy Commander Viktor Chirkov has reiterated the need for a modern nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. He confirmed that the design team had received funding and a tasking order for new carriers. However, representatives from the nuclear-powered carrier design team noted that they haven't received any formal feedback from the Navy. They emphasized that the design they submitted over two and a half years ago was merely a rough sketch, not a finalized plan. Pabich, a former lead designer at Ukraine's Mykolaiv Shipyard and one of the architects behind the unfinished Ulyanovsk carrier, was informed that his involvement in revising the carrier design was not met with immediate satisfaction from the Russian Navy. He believes this level of scrutiny from the military is normal and indicates mutual interest in the development of new nuclear-powered carriers. Both the Navy and defense industries share the same objective: Russia requires state-of-the-art aircraft carriers. Given the nearly limitless maritime self-sufficiency offered by nuclear-powered carriers, their ability to operate in all weather conditions, and their high combat readiness, Russia has long desired such a vessel. This carrier would become a pivotal force in safeguarding Russia's maritime security. Sources from the Russian Military Industry Committee suggest that the Navy aims to surpass contemporary carriers with more than a decade's worth of advanced technology, rather than replicating existing U.S. or other foreign designs. The new Russian carriers will feature broad adaptability, enabling them to coordinate multi-service operations across land, sea, and air, while also possessing the capability to engage in space, aerial, terrestrial, surface, and sub-surface combat. The source also disclosed that the design phase for Russian nuclear-powered carriers will conclude in 2018, with a displacement exceeding 50,000 tons and the capacity to carry around 80 aircraft.
