The project is a promising Russian aircraft carrier storm 23000e
Russian Navy planned to strengthen the new multi-purpose heavy nuclear aircraft carrier "Storm". Designing this unique ship carried Krylov State Research Center. With it, the Russian Navy will be able to deploy mobile base for a large air group in the most remote parts of the oceans.
Due to ice class, "Storm" is able to perform combat missions, not only in warm seas, but also strategically important, but it is bad development of the Arctic region, which lies up to 25% of the world's hydrocarbon reserves. Aboard the aircraft carrier will be able to accommodate up to 90 aircraft for various purposes, including the latest fighter planes, helicopters and aircraft radar reconnaissance.
With the air carrier will defend the naval version of the promising ground missile systems S-500. This SAM can detect aerodynamic and ballistic targets at a range of 800 km and hit targets flying at a speed of up to 7000 meters per second. Under the water the aircraft carrier "will cover" the latest means of torpedo defense, information about where in the public yet.
According to the declared data, the length of "Storm" will be 330 meters, width - 40 meters, depth - 11 meters, displacement - 95 thousand tons.. Aircraft carrier with autonomy in the course of 120 days will be able to reach speeds of 30 knots (56 km / h). The movement of the ship will lead propulsion system of the mixed type, consisting of nuclear and gas turbine units. In total, the aircraft carrier will serve up to 5,000 crew members. The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation has not yet signed a contract for construction of the "Storm", so some of its basic parameters, depending on the wishes of the customer, may subsequently change.
It is also important to note that the carrier - it's not the ship that goes through the seas alone. For its effective use of the Russian Navy will have to raise or re-build a full-fledged aircraft carrier groups. In her will should include at least two missile cruiser, three destroyers, two nuclear submarines and several supply ships. Also, carrier battle groups would require the construction of all necessary infrastructure for it.
