Russia's ageing warship still packs a deadly punch - Kirov-class Battlecruiser

Показать описание

The Kirov Class Battlecruiser remains the largest and heaviest surface combatant warship still operating in the world. The Kirov class guided missile cruiser has the official name as Project 1144 or Sea Eagle. It is a class of nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers that serve the Soviet and Russian navies since 1980. It was first constructed between 1974 and 1998, four units were complete in total. In 2021, one is still operated, the other two have been retired and another one is undergoing refurbishment. This ship was actually designed to either hunt American missile submarines, or protect Soviet nuclear bastions from U.S. and British attack boats.

Don't see it as old, see it as a strong ship with muscle. You don't wanna mess with Kirov class battlecruiser.

Even its old, I still see it as a modern warship. I mean, the design is beautiful, yet intimidating.

lykim

i love the design of Russian warships, very ww2 looking

It's a fleet destroyer. It's sole purpose is to defend against american fleets by it self. Cheaper than building 20 ships to do the same thing. Genius really.

This thing is closest to what we can call a modern Battleship !!!

I found this warship very beautiful aside from it's lethality

The Burke class doesn't have 122 VLS cells. That's the Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers that have 122. The Burkes only have 90(flight 1 & 2) or 96(flight 2a and 3)VLS cells.

They are turning them into Hypersonic missile wagons

There are projects of mos
Modernization where 20 anti ship missles p-700 "Granit" will be changed to 80 "kalibr" missles both antiship and for attach ground targets. There will be also new SAM system and radars, this will be really powerful modern battlecruiser

Excuse me but Russia never built a warship that wasn't centered on anti shipping... I'm an ex Cold War US Navy destroyer vet and have always respected Russia's warships. They are brutilly powerful, but their Naval doctrine and lack of assets makes them liabilities. Sorry but the days of the big powerful warship going to sea alone to hunt and destroy the enemy ended in WW2...
