Officially “Greater than 5 miles (8 km)”

This from my second link. OFFICIALLY is more than 8km. That means 50km?
this is another one link

all of the above links mentione 8km range

greater than 8km means 8.5, 9, 9.5 NOT 50

Somewhere I found a line drawing of the new russian proposed aircraft carrier but I don’t remember the site. I will try to find it and to post the image. From a first view looks like the Nimitz class, and having “384 VLS stihl” in 4 systems.

France does not have Topol, nor does it have Tu-160, however it has ballistic missile submarines, land based missiles and air-launched nuclear tipped cruise missiles.

Unicorn

1.Name to me the land baced ballestic missiles of France!

2. Air launched cruise missiles of France are not strategic, because their range is only 500km

3. Only USA and Russia have “nuclear triancle” land air, and sea baced nukes, NOT France.

Unicom, who wrotes the poem below?

Russia will build 2 supercarriers in 2015 and Kuznetsov will be a flight trainer.

SOME GOOD NEWS!!!!!! KUZNETSOV WILL BE BACK IN ACTION!!

MOSCOW, September 27 (RIA Novosti) – The Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia’s only aircraft carrier, will join the Northern Fleet by the end of the year after modernization, the Navy’s chief said Wednesday.

The ship, also known as Project 1143.5 heavy aircraft carrier, was commissioned in the Russian Navy in 1991 and became fully operational in 1995. But it was plagued by technical problems, including faulty arrester gear, and was put into dock earlier this year for a technical overhaul.

“All preparatory work has been completed on the Admiral Kuznetsov and it will leave port for a combat training mission at the beginning of next week,” Admiral Vladimir Masorin said after a visit on board the ship.

The Navy commander also said that several Su-33 Flanker-D fighters assigned to the aircraft carrier would return to the ship after a brief technical overhaul. The vessel is capable of carrying up to 26 fixed-wing fighters and 24 helicopters.

Russia’s military leadership is considering building several modern aircraft carriers after 2015.

“The Russian Navy will operate several aircraft carriers in future,” Masorin said in February, adding that Admiral Kuznetsov would probably remain in service until 2030.

955 will have only 533 tubes. Perhaps you wanted to say 885 Severodvinsk?

You are right, but is possible for the 955 to carry the klub missile familly? If I am right they can be fitted in 533TTs. The 855 sevederodvinsk has 8 VLS yakhonts, but is possible for them to carry Granats in their TTs along with their Yakhont VLS ?? Why the surface vessels have no ability of lanching SS-N-21?? The 3M54 Klub is considered a limited range (220km) Version of Granat? Talwar ypothetikally, in her 8VLS system has the ability to fit the SS-N-21?
Has nay major surface vessel of the russian navy the ability to carry Granat?

First of all I doubt any 1,000km range Yakhont would be the same size and weight as the current Yakhont. The growth is in size necessary to reach 1,000km would probably make it at least as big as Granit. Would suggest they wouldn’t try to make it bigger to enable it to be used from existing platforms. A scramjet propulsion giving velocities of mach 6 plus would make them very capable weapons and also make lag time between launch and impact less of a problem.

Its diffucult for me to uderstand why tomahawk with the the half of Yakhont’s size has range of 1850km and Yakhont only 180km!!!! I accept that Yakhont is supesonic but it should have at least 600km range. With this range 180km only the missile is completely uselless. The vessel should be too close at the enemy fleet. Such short range weapons are usefull only as air lanched! Before I said that I like Yakhont but should have greater range, more than 400km for being effective.
Some questions:

Is Brahmos or Yakhont nuclear capable?

Any details about the GRANIT-2??
