https://warisboring.com/the-russian-navy-is-in-a-death-spiral/Over the past year, the Russian navy has undertaken several high visibility operations, most notably the deployment of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov off the coast of Syria, and the launch of cruise missiles from ships based in the Caspian Sea. Russian submarine activity has also increased, although not quite to the level seen in the Cold War.
But Moscow might be best advised to heed Matthew 26:41 where maritime adventures are concerned; “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
The Russian navy is a mess, and it will probably become more of a mess in the future.
the Soviet navy steadily increased in strength across the Cold War, at some point clearly passing the French and British fleets and becoming the world’s second most powerful navy.
And then everything fell apart, again. The Russian navy could not maintain the fleet it inherited, much less afford the pace of new construction necessary to keep its military shipbuilding industry healthy. A death spiral ensued, as the cost of maintaining older ships increased, along with the build time for new vessels, while the quality of maintenance and construction declined.
The financial crisis of the last few years, brought about by a combination of sanctions and cratering oil prices, helped snuff out signs of life in everything other than submarine construction.
International comparisons don’t do Russia any favors. China will have at least three aircraft carriers by the time Russia commissions its second; India will have at least two, as will the United Kingdom. In terms of regular surface combatants, the situation looks rather worse.
As noted above, France, Britain, Japan and China have all commissioned major, large surface warships in the last decade, all of which cleanly outclass Russia’s legacy ships in terms of technological sophistication. The comparison with China is particularly stark. While Russia has commissioned five major surface combatants since 2000, three of which were laid down during the Soviet period, China has commissioned about 40.
These numbers will get worse over the next few years.

Eräänlainen kokemusmatka se on sekin ollut...
The basic design of an aircraft-carrying ship was submitted to the defense ministry. Now everything depends on the customer who is to select the final concept proceeding from the completed work. We shall wait for a decision regarding the fate of the project
Mitenkäs, millainen on Venäjän Itämeren laivaston tulevaisuus? Onko tänne tulossa vielä suuria aluksia (fregatteja, hävittäjiä) jatkossakin vai aikooko Venäjä pärjätä korveteilla (ja luottaa siihen, että tarvittaessa kyetään siirtämään lisää aluksia Itämerell)?
Nykyiselläänhän täällä on isoista aluksista Neustrashimyy-luokan fregatteja ja Sovremennyy-luokan hävittäjä. Mutta toista Neustrashimyy-luokan fregattia lukuun ottamatta ne ovat 1990-luvun alusta ja sitä myöten varmaan menossa paaliin ~10 vuoden sisällä.
Entäpä sitten sukellusveneet? Mitä on tulossa tulevaisuudessa vai onko mitään?
Russia Cuts Funds for Aircraft Carrier Modernization
The overhaul of Russia’s sole aircraft carrier is reportedly affected by budget cuts.
The modernization and refitting of the flagship of the Russian Navy, the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, is reportedly affected by severe cuts to the Russian defense budget, which is reducing the scope of work for the refit, according to Russian media reports.
An anonymous source told Interfax that the budget will likely be reduced by fifty percent from the proposed $800 million. “Instead of previously planned approximately 50 billion rubles for the work, it is planned to allocate about half of the previously announced amount,” the source said.
Russian news outlets recently reported that Yantar was sent to the area Kuznetsov was operating in at the time of the incidents on December 10th, just five days after the Su-33 crashed there, and that the mission occurred with the help of underwater unmanned vehicles, writing:
The Russian Navy conducted a unique deep-sea operation. With the help of underwater unmanned vehicles and the oceanographic research vessel Yantar, the Su-33 and MiG-29K deck fighter aircraft, lost in air crashes in the Mediterranean, were discovered and inspected. This was reported to Izvestia at the headquarters of the Northern Fleet. UAVs were able to remove some aircraft equipment from aircraft...
...According to Izvestia, the operation was carried out by the oceanographic research vessel (OIS) Yantar. The robots surveyed both planes, picked up the debris from the bottom and even removed some elements of the onboard equipment MiG-29 and Su-33.
Although Yantar is often found snooping around major underwater communications cables, it can also assist in locating stricken submarines and other sunken objects at incredible depths. With that in mind, just last week Russia ordered Yantar to the waters off Argentina to help in locating the ARA San Juan which went missing nearly 11 days ago. The ship is slated to begin search operations in the area during the first week of December.
The quick move by Russia to scoop up any sensitive material remaining on its dunked fighters is just another reminder of how active the spy game under the waves remains to this very day, one in which one country's tragedy can turn into another country's treasure. And these clandestine "treasure hunters" of sorts are incredibly well equipped and can be actively on the hunt at a moment's notice.
Joo, niin kertovat itsekin, että jatkuvaa alle metrin (2.2.3.2):Venäjän laivaston uusi jäänmurtaja, Ilya Muromets, valmistunut:
http://mil.today/2017/Arctic6/
Hieno tuo ruorimiehen "syöttötuoli". Muuten ohjauskonsoli on kyllä aika kaukana ikkunasta...
Puolentoista metrin jäänmurtokyky on kyllä huuhaata - kyseessä on jääluokan (Icebreaker6) rakennemitoitus. Todellisuudessa Murometsän itsenäinen jatkuva jäänmurtokyky liikkunee 0.8...1 metrin kieppeillä.
Yhdessä kuvassa taustalla näkyy ydinmörkö Sibir rakenteilla.

Näin juuri. Tuossa speksissä pistää muuten silmään tuo termi non-arctic, eli napapiirin eteläpuolelle tarkoitettu. Ei minnekään pohjoiseen.Ei toki tarkoita, etteikö (liian) hyvin suunniteltu alus voisi murtaa paksumpaakin jäätä (esim. vinomurtaja), mutta tuo rapiat metri olisi linjassa muiden samankokoisen ja -tehoisten alusten kanssa. Tuo on kuitenkin propulsiota (CRP) lukuunottamatta aika perinteinen jäänmurtaja.
