Kirov class warship:

25,860-26,396 tons (fully loaded)

As opposed to this, the Kuznetsov class carrier, of which Russia has one in service, displaces 67,000 tons fully loaded.

However, both of these are dwarfed by the US Nimitz class carrier, which displaces 101,000-104,000 tons fully loaded.

Sorry, serb, you're wrong.

quote:

Actually a SSBN has far more firepower than any Kirov

But in any case, a Nimitz class carrier also carries more firepower, even excluding nuclear weapons. But if it comes down to it, the US can just load up aircraft with nuclear tipped cruise missiles - one hit would be enough, and the S-300 is good, but not THAT good.

quote:
Harpoons will be destroyed by Kirov's S-300 complexes when they will be 150 km away from ship.


Why would a sub launch from 150 km away? I'd rather suspect that the sub would launch Harpoons from a few km away, inside the Kirov's protective screen. But in any case, why not just use torpedos?

It's rusting underwater of course.
Israeils warship "Eilat" destroyed by two Russian missile boats of "Komar" class at October 21 1967. Eilat entered territorial waters of Egypt and after four missile hits ship sunk. In accordance with Russian classification, it was "Eskadrenny minonosez or Esminez". In accordance with western classification...actually I made a mistake, it was lesser then cruiser.
Armament of "Eilat" four 114mm guns, six anti-aircraft guns, mines, torpedoes.
Armament of Komar class: two P-15 missiles.

Serb, why would it surprise you that a destroyer built in 1943 was sunk by missile boats? After all, missiles didn't even EXIST in 1943 (except in VERY primitive forms), and weren't a concern. The armament of the Eilat, as you mentioned, didn't even include anti-missile defenses (no, AA guns aren't missile defenses ).

It was build by British in 1944, "Z" class (or it is "zet"?). In 1944 Germans already have primitive missiles. Still, it was 2500 tonns destroyer with a lot of heavy armament and it was destroyed by two tiny boats whose only armaments were two Russian missiles.

But not primitive anti-ship missiles. Yes, they did have radio controlled bombs, such as the one that sunk the Italian battleship Roma, but that is not the same thing. There were also primitive SAMs and AAMs.

The Eilat was originally laid down on May 5, 1943, and launched on Feb 28, 1944, so upon review, we are both sorta right. It was indeed a former Z class destroyer, the HMS Zealous.

But no matter what it was, it was not designed to fight anti-ship missiles, and certainly not anti-ship missiles with late 1960s technology. Hence, no matter what equipment was carried on it, it's no surprise that it was sunk.

If you take the Yamato or the Bismarck, and put them up against a missile armed craft, and the battleship is sunk by the missile boat, it doesn't mean that the nation that built the missile boat has superior technology, it just means that the technology of the time is superior to the technology of the early 1940s.

Now I know this for sure- Israelis education system completely sucks.
Tell me, do you have a course of theoretic physic in school where are you studdying? I think not. Not only you have no idea about EMP, but also you have no idea about mechanics as well. If you'll remove inner panels out of such huge ship as Kirov, the ship will colapse due its own weight.

Yeah, right.
And what is the max range of your best torpedo?
As long as your sub will aproach Kirov closer than 45 km. Kirov's "Vodopad" ('Waterfall') complex will start to work and destroy your sub. Even if your sub will be able to launch its torpedoes, Kirov will create a "wall" of mines (thanks to its unique mine launchers) with noise sensors that will destroy incoming torpedoes.
Why you just can't admit that this ship is the masterpeice of engineering, extremly hard target and the most powerfull surface ship on Earth?

Well holy ****, now the Kirov is an ASW warship too

As to "creating a wall of mines", I assume you are referring to the Udav-1 and RBU-1000 systems?

The Pyotr Veliky cruiser's antisubmarine system comprises: sophisticated sonar equipment with an underkeel antenna (in bulbous fairing) and towed antenna of automated sonar system; versatile system of missile-torpedo armament, including 533mm launchers (five on either side) housed in the cruiser's hull and capable of delivering fire via side ports; RBU-1200 ten-barrelled launcher and two RBU-1000 six-barrelled launchers. The cruiser has space for two Ka-27 antisubmarine helicopters stowed in an underdeck hangar, magazine for aircraft ammunition load, lift and helicopter pad for takeoff and landing.

Sounds nice enough, but I don't see why you would think this makes the ship impervious to torpedos.

Further, that might work very nice in trials, but I rather suspect a surprise attack with a spread of 4 torpedos from only a few km away would be a little different. Combat always is.

Do you need a link or you are able to find it by yourself?


It could mean only two things:
1) You have no idea how many planes holds large American air carrier. If you think that difference between large US aircraft carrier and Russian battlecruiser is 50 aircrafts. (This is less likely)
2) You thought that Kirov is Russian air carrier. (This is more likely.)

In any case it means that you are an who engage in debates about subject you know nothing about.

Have a nice day.

He was making the point that air power is a vital element in naval combat, and that Nimitz-class carriers provide dozens of aircraft, while the Kirov class provides none.
