Russian Carrier Awaits MiG-29s for Syrian Airstrikes

The Russian navy’s only carrier, the 59,000-metric ton Admiral Kuznetsov, is being modified to enable operations of MiG-29K/KUB strike fighters against targets in Syria. The work is due to be completed within the next few months. During its first combat deployment, the carrier is likely to carry 15 fighters and a dozen Kamov helicopters. The latter may include a few Ka-52K Katran attack prototypes as well as Ka-31 airborne early warning & control rotorcraft. The deployment will last for up to three months, after which the ship will return to Russia for a major overhaul.

Kuznetsov has made previous deployments to the eastern Mediterranean, including visits to the Syrian port of Tartus, the last of these ending in May 2014. But it is yet to take part in the bombing campaign. The carrier’s air group is dominated by the Sukhoi Su-33 (navalized Su-27K), a dedicated air interceptor/air superiority fighter with very limited land-strike capability. The second fixed-wing type that the Kuznetsov has carried is the Su-25UTG, which is largely a training tool for naval pilots in mastering deck landings and refreshing other skills.

Unlike the Su-33 and Su-25UTG, the MiG-29K/KUB is a truly multirole aircraft able to carry out accurate strikes using both unguided bombs and rockets, and smart munitions. It can carry laser and TV-guided Kh-29 missiles; Kh-31A and Kh-35 antiship missiles; and Kh-31P anti-radiation weapons. In addition, the MiG can carry KAB-500 series guided bombs. The VKS grouping at Khmeimim frequently uses the Kh-29 and KAB-500 weapons.

The work being carried out on the carrier is mostly to accommodate weapons and onboard systems that feed precision navigation and weapons release information to the MiG-29K/KUBs. Similar work was previously done on the INS Vikramaditya carrier (ex-Russian navy Admiral Gorshkov) which underwent refit and modernization in Russia before being handed over to the Indian navy in November 2013.

RAC MiG has already fulfilled the Russian order for 24 MiG-29K/KUBs, placed in 2012. The type is service with the naval air regiment No. 100 at Saki and Yeisk aerodromes on the Russian Black Sea coast. Russian naval pilots are yet to master carrier operations with these MiGs. However, test pilots made several flights from the ship as part of the INS Vikramaditya project.

The Kremlin decided to use the Kuznetsov in its bombing campaign shortly after President Putin ordered a reduction in the Air and Space Force (VKS) air group at Khmeimim air base in the Syrian province of Latakia. However, although that decision last May resulted in the withdrawal of Su-25SM attack aircraft, the VKS still keeps Su-35/Su-30SM multirole fighters; Su-24/34 interdiction aircraft; and Mi-8AMTSh, Mi-28, Mi-35, and Ka-52 helicopters there. These flew in excess of 10,000 combat sorties in the period of October 2015- May 2016 time frame, according to the Russian defense ministry. A Mi-35 was shot down by Islamic State rebels on July 8 and a Mi-8 on August 1, killing their crews of two and five, respectively.

Russian Navy Pacific Fleet to receive six Project 636.6 submarines in 2019-2021 under new contract

The Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet will take delivery of six Project 636.6 (NATO reporting name: Improved Kilo-class) diesel-electric submarines in 2019-2021 under a new contract, Admiralty Shipyards Director General Alexander Buzakov told journalists. The company will build the submarines.

"The delivery schedule for the six subs is as follows: two in 2019, two in 2020 and two in 2021," he said.
On September 7, the Russian Defense Ministry and Admiralty Shipyards signed a contract for a series of submarines in a ceremony held as part of the Army 2016 forum.

Previously, the order was expected to be split between the Admiralty Shipyards and Amur Shipyard in the Russian Far East. Then, the United Shipbuilding Corporation said all of the submarines would be built in St. Petersburg.

A six-ship Project 636.3 series has been built for the Black Sea Fleet. The fifth and sixth submarines of the series are due to the Russian Navy’s inventory before year-end 2016.

Russian carrier-based Su-33 fighters receiving new bombing computer

Russia is outfitting its carrier-based Sukhoi Su-33 fighter aircraft with the SVP-24 air-to-ground targeting system, according to Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources cited by the newspaper Izvestia.

The SVP-24 is a specialised navigation and targeting system produced by Russian avionics developer Gefest and T. It enables combat aircraft to deliver conventional ordnance with accuracy approaching guided munitions, Russian sources claim. Historically the Su-33 had only a basic air-to-ground capability.

Gefest and T has now delivered the first Su-33 with SVP-24 under its contract signed with the MoD, and is installing the system on two more naval fighters. The company expects to put SVP-24 on all aircraft in the squadron before Russian Navy carrier Admiral Kuznetsov deploys to the eastern Mediterranean in November, according to Izvestia . The carrier's air group will likely consist of 10 Su-33 and four MiG-29KR fighters.

The SVP-24 calculates the optimal point for bomb release based on the position of the aircraft and target, wind speed and direction, and other variables. The MoD has announced that the targeting computer produced a three-fold increase in the accuracy of aerial bombing when installed on the Su-24M. Russian sources add that as a permanent aircraft component the SVP-24 is cheaper to use than expendable kits attached to gravity bombs like the US Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM).

Initially developed in the mid-1990s and accepted for service by the MoD in 2008, the SVP-24 is installed on some Russian Su-24M, Su-25SM3, and Tu-22M3 bombers. The Su-24M is the primary bomber used in Syria. It has delivered mainly high-explosive FAB-250, FAB-500, and concrete-piercing BetAB-500 unguided gravity bombs.

Ai, Ai, Ai. E no Brasil varonil ainda pensamos que temos Forças Armadas. Infelizmente ainda por muitos anos o Brasil, que e um país de merda, dificilmente apresentara a população que tem como dever defender um exercício militar desta envergadura através do youtube. Se bem que esta mesma população esta ''cagando ralinho'' para a sua própria defesa.

Olha eu acredito na classe lider mas acho que o porta avióes russo ira demorar muito por causa da redução de orçamento.
