A Russian Su-33 multirole fighter jet crashed while landing on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the pilot was able to eject and was picked up by a rescue helicopter. The agency said the accident was caused by a broken cable that helps the plane slow down on deck. As a result, the Su-33 rolled out of the deck. During the short time spent off the Syrian coast, Kuznetsov has already lost two aircraft.

The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the incident, said: "This is a very tense, difficult and heroic job. First of all, it is about the fact that the pilot survived." Mid November Russian fighter MiG-29, also part of the Admiral Kuznetsov air group. The plane crashed into the water near the aircraft carrier. The pilot was saved. Engine failure was cited as the official cause of the accident. According to unofficial information, the same brake cables became the reason: the MiG circled around the aircraft carrier while they tried to repair the cable on the deck, torn by the previous landing aircraft. The repair was delayed, as a result of which the fighter simply did not have enough fuel and it fell into the sea.

The only Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" as part of the ship group of the Russian Navy is located in the Mediterranean Sea. On November 15, combat aircraft based on it began to strike at targets in Syria.

Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer, commenting on the loss of the second Russian combat aircraft from the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, draws special attention to the very senselessness of its mission off the coast of Syria. The expert is sure that the purpose of the admirals who sent the aircraft carrier there was to demonstrate to Vladimir Putin the justification for the huge expenses on the fleet:

– ​How common are aircraft carrier accidents involving broken brake cables?

Either the pilot was poorly trained, or the cables were rotten

- Well, in general, they are not very common, otherwise there would be no aircraft carrier aviation in the world. They seem to say that the cable broke, but I don’t know for sure. Either the pilot was poorly trained, or the cables were rotten, or both.

– ​Maybe the problem is that the Admiral Kuznetsov is an outdated ship?

- The problem is not his age, which is quite normal for a ship. Aircraft carriers serve for a long time. These are large ships, they are designed for a fairly long service. And the fact that his campaign in the Mediterranean Sea from a military point of view is absolutely meaningless - from beginning to end. This is purely a publicity stunt. The ship was not built for such trips. There is simply nothing for him to do. He can’t and didn’t do anything there - only the losses he suffered were also completely senseless.

– ​But after all, both the aircraft carrier and its aircraft perform some kind of combat mission?

“He can’t bomb Syria. Aircraft had to take off from an aircraft carrier, land on Russian base. There they refueled with fuel and bombs, flew to bomb something. At the same time, Su-33 aircraft are also not intended for strikes against land and sea targets. They weren't built for that. These are pure fighters. Pilots are not prepared for this. Some kind of sighting equipment was put there on the planes, but still they are not intended for this. He performs there a completely meaningless function of just such a representation. That is, a full-size self-propelled model of an aircraft carrier is sent to Syria. True, he walks slowly, because, again, he is not intended for warm waters. This is a purely fighter aircraft carrier for the protection of deployed strategic nuclear submarines. He has no other special goals. Therefore, he should be in the Barents Sea, where there are his wards - strategic nuclear submarines. He must protect them from anti-submarine aircraft in the event of a nuclear war. It has a power plant, which is not intended for long trips. Aircraft that are not designed for bombing and any other attacks on naval targets, too.

– ​Why was the "Admiral Kuznetsov" sent on a campaign in the Mediterranean?

– The admirals wanted to show Putin that trillions are not being spent on the fleet for nothing, that the fleet can do something. But the demonstration is not very convincing, because in reality the Kuznetsov cannot do anything useful - only lose planes. Unlike the Peter the Great, whose nuclear power plant is designed for long-distance voyages, the Kuznetsov was never designed for them. Even the official autonomy is only 40 days.

– ​What do you think caused the accident?

- Most likely, they are tired - the crew, the pilots. Their load is peak. So, mistakes, losses. Is not American aircraft carriers that are constantly at sea. They have replacement crews there. It's a completely different thing. "Kuznetsov" was sent to pretend that our fleet can operate in the Mediterranean almost like the American one, that money should be spent on it. In the middle next year must approve the rearmament program until 2025. And there the main expenditure item is precisely naval weapons. For the fleet, this is very important. Because if they cut funding, then the leadership of the General Staff in the first place, of course, will substitute the fleet. Well, their programs are wildly expensive. Monstrous. It was very important for them to show that they can do something, that they are not completely useless. Although in reality our fleet is generally useless for such regional conventional wars. No, they are there, in Syria, they play an important role in supply. There, every day, 2,000 tons of various supplies enter Syria. And the fleet does it, including landing ships. They bought old ruins abroad, transport ships. They go under the sea flag so that the Turks do not inspect them in the straits. They are .

The Russian ship "Alexander Tkachenko", a former cargo ship of the Ukrainian Danube Shipping Company, is heading to Syria via the Bosphorus

And the naval unit ... Well, yes, it shoots with these cruise missiles, which is also wildly expensive and generally useless. It's not completely useless, but pointless. Because shooting at militants in Toyotas with rockets worth 5 million dollars a piece is a rather pointless exercise. It's good that no one has died yet. The pilots have been rescued. Although will they fly or not? After ejection, pilots usually do not fly anymore. There are serious back injuries. And we have very few carrier-based pilots. Two have already been hurt. This is not good, because one of them will probably never fly again. Or maybe both. All this in order to portray the existence of an aircraft carrier, which is not an aircraft carrier. Well, if he comes back under his own power.

– ​So what, on the "Admiral Kuznetsov" now the aircraft is not of the type that is usually based on it?

Admirals, like in a casino, bet on "zero"

- Why not those? The same. And we don't have any others. The Su-33, also known as the Su-27K, is no longer in production. There are ten of them left. Yes, it crashed, but there were only three or four of them. They apparently don't fly at all after this accident. In principle, in theory, the aircraft carrier should be delivered, when it returns, for a major overhaul, rebuilt to fit the MiG-29. Because the Su-33 has not been produced since the early 1990s, and there are no plans to produce it. And the MiG-29 is being produced. He was brought to mind for India. True, French avionics were installed for India. I don't know which one is on the few planes we have now. But there are such plans - to remake the Admiral Kuznetsov under the MiG-29. Because the Su-33 is almost gone. So he left with a dozen planes. Well, what kind of aircraft carrier is it - it has 10 aircraft in total and a deck crew. Before that, it had been under repair for years, and now it’s such a long campaign, and even with constant combat work. The admirals, like in a casino, bet on "zero" - they say, this ship, which is not intended for such tasks, will show itself remarkably well in this heavy, wild tension. Well, they didn't do it very well. So far, there hasn't been much success. They reported that they had killed 30 of some militants. And since aviators always exaggerate the losses of the enemy by at least 10 times, it may be that they really killed two or three people.

Good health to all, dear colleagues in creativity. This is my second model, which I assembled after a long break in creativity, and presented on this resource. It was conceived as an easy walk and rest after the assembly of the F / A-18E from Italeri, but it turned out to be a long and tedious marathon run for 4 months - so much work took in the evenings with the ship and about 3-4 weeks later - on the air group. There were also interruptions due to family circumstances, repair, but in the end the ship "did enter service." I present to your attention the model TAVKR "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Admiral Kuznetsov", Zvezda, scale 1/720.

Prototype

"Admiral of the Fleet Soviet Union Kuznetsov "(former names - in order of assignment - "Soviet Union" (project), "Riga" (bookmark), "Leonid Brezhnev" (launching), "Tbilisi" (tests)) - heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser of project 1143.5, the only in the Russian Navy in its class (as of 2011). Designed to destroy large surface targets, protect naval formations from attacks by a potential enemy. Named after Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov, Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. Built in Nikolaev, at the Black Sea shipyard. During cruises, the Su-25UTG and Su-33 aircraft of the 279th Shipborne Fighter Aviation Regiment (home base - Severomorsk-3) and the Ka-27 and Ka-29 helicopters of the 830th Separate Shipborne Anti-Submarine Helicopter Regiment (base airfield - Severomorsk-1). More detailed information can be viewed on this site or on the Internet.

Source set

I gave a brief overview of the set at the very beginning of my topic on building a model and you can see it, in this article I will focus on the main points:
Disadvantages:
1. Poor fit of parts, putty was needed on almost all seams. It took me about a month to assemble the parts of the ship's hull, of which there are no more than a dozen, as well as the subsequent polishing.

2. The complete inconsistency of the model with the prototype:

• stern contours, niches on the starboard side in the area of ​​​​aircraft lifts - have nothing to do with reality.
• there are no niches for life-saving equipment at all, as well as a section of the deck under the flight deck on the port side.
• there is no small superstructure above the wheelhouse.
• there are no hatches for launchers of the Granit anti-ship missiles on the flight deck.
• there is no large number of portholes along the ship's hull.

I present for your review another model of our only aircraft carrier so far.
TARK "Admiral Kuznetsov" (former names in order of assignment: "Soviet Union" (project), "Riga" (bookmark), "Leonid Brezhnev" (launching), "Tbilisi" (tests)) - heavy aircraft carrier cruiser (TAVKR) ) project 1143.5, the only one in the Navy of the Russian Federation in its class (as of 2016). Designed to destroy large surface targets, protect naval formations from attacks by a potential enemy using aircraft carriers and a large number of submarines. "Admiral Kuznetsov" also has the task of supporting landing operations.
Named after Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov, Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. Built in Nikolaev, at the Chernomorsky shipyard. Part of the Northern Fleet.
The aircraft carrier is designed according to the project to base and service 28 aircraft and 24 helicopters, and excluding transportation in special areas on the deck - 30-36 aircraft. A large regular load of helicopters is associated with the direction of the aircraft carrier for anti-submarine operations by Ka-27PL helicopters. The current concept of forming an aircraft carrier aviation group involves reducing the number of based Su-33s with replacement by lighter and more compact MiG-29K fighter-bombers, which allows increasing the number of based aircraft to 36 units. The number of helicopters based has been reduced in favor of aircraft to 17 units.

The aircraft carrier has its own short-range missile defense system that is constantly being upgraded to repel missile and bomb attacks. The anti-aircraft armament of the ship consists of four six-barrel launchers of the Kinzhal air defense system (192 missiles), eight Kortik launchers (256 missiles), six six-barreled 30-mm AK-630M rapid-fire launchers (48,000 shells). The aircraft carrier also has layered protection against torpedoes from two RBU-12000 installations (60 missiles), including the setting of false acoustic targets, the rapid deployment of anti-torpedo minefields and the destruction of torpedoes with depth charges at the aircraft carrier itself. Survivability is ensured by a number of bulkheads that can withstand hitting below the waterline of ammunition up to 400 kg of TNT. Thus, an aircraft carrier can repel massive rocket-bomb and torpedo attacks even without the help of its own warrant, which can focus on destroying missile and torpedo carriers.
The aircraft carrier carries 12 4K-80 launchers for heavy Granit missiles capable of hitting targets at 700 km with a throw weight of 750 kg. Launchers "Granit" are mounted under the springboard of the flight deck, and when they are launched, flights stop, as the hatches of the mines open on the flight deck. The initial versions of the missile were created to destroy US aircraft carrier groups, the latest upgrades of the complex allow it to hit coastal targets as well.

Annotation.

The idea of ​​creating a model aircraft carrier cruiser"Admiral Kuznetsov" arose due to both objective and subjective circumstances.

The objective reason that prompted the team of the "Sudostroenie" association to take up the development of the project was the desire to acquaint students with the history of the Russian Navy, to bring them closer to understanding the international situation that existed at the time of the creation of the ship.

In the modern world, the Russian fleet protects the interests of the country at all latitudes of the world's oceans. The aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov", launched from the stocks of the Black Sea Shipbuilding Plant in 1991, was created to protect the naval formations of the Russian Navy.

The subjective reason for creating the cruiser model was the opportunity for students to improve their skills in working with tools, as well as the development of analytical and creative thinking (search for information, acquaintance with history and technology). Navy, application of knowledge in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology). In the process of working on creating a model of an aircraft carrier, schoolchildren had to find answers to questions about technical specifications ships, about ways to ensure buoyancy and stability, about the possibilities of eliminatingroll and trim, on the distribution of weapons below the deck of the ship, etc.

The aircraft carrier model is completely radio-controlled: a team of 6 people, being on the shore, has the ability to remotely maneuver the ship, take off and land aircraft (radio-controlled helicopters), and launch missiles.

The presented model is unique:

the ship's hull is built from available materials - plywood, pine laths, fiberglass and epoxy resin;

a fundamentally new electrical circuit has been developed to control the ship (forward-backward movement, turn);

the lighting of the runway and top lights is fully consistent with the analogue.

The work of the team of teachers of the association "Shipbuilding" was adequately appreciated by the jury members at the All-Russian Children's Festival of Folk Culture "Heirs of Traditions", held on September 8 - 11, 2016 in the Vologda region. In the nomination "Traditional shipbuilding" the model took 2nd place.

This manual is intended for teachers of additional education of associations of shipbuilding and ship modeling.

Explanatory note.

Aircraft carriers are the embodiment of the sea power of the state, they are designed to serve and base aviation as a mobile airfield;are carriers of nuclear and missile weapons.

The heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (TAVKR) "Admiral Kuznetsov" of the Fleet of the Soviet Union is the only one in its class. It is capable of effectively carrying out air defense of ships, ensuring the safety of nuclear submarines. missile cruisers, conduct air operations, hit large surface targets.

Part of the Northern Fleet. The Admiral Kuznetsov differs from most conventional aircraft carriers in the use of takeoff ramps, power plant and the presence of complexes of anti-ship missiles "Granit". This is the only aircraft carrier in the world that can land and take off. heavy fighter Su-33.

On board "Admiral Kuznetsov" may be located28 aircraft (Su-33 carrier-based fighters and MiG-29K multifunctional fighters) and 24 Ka-27 and Ka-29 anti-submarine and assault assault helicopters, Granit missiles (7 tons each and a range of up to 700 kilometers), a powerful system air and anti-submarine defense.

Cruiser dimensions: 306 meters long and 72 meters wide. The speed of "Admiral Kuznetsov" is up to 32 knots (59 kilometers per hour). The cruising range at an economical course is more than eight thousand miles. Displacement - 61.3 thousand tons.

The radio-controlled model "Admiral Kuznetsov" is a prototype of the operating ship of the Russian Navy, has an engine power of 1.5 kW, and has excellent driving characteristics. When the batteries are fully charged, the power reserve is up to 1.5 hours.

The aircraft carrier model is 3m long and 80cm wide (scale 1:100) and is advantageous in comparison with ready-made ones for sale.bench teamsmodelyamimade of plasticHeavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov» in scale 1:350(874x205 mm) or on a scale of 1:720 (425x100 mm).

Purpose of the tutorial- providing the necessary assistance to teachers of additional education and schoolchildren in the creation of operating radio-controlled models of ships on the example of the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov".

Tasks:

Familiarization with the materials and manufacturing technology of the aircraft carrier model;

Improving the skills of working with tools;

The use of elements of design, electrical, physical and mathematical knowledge.

Relevance allowances:the creation of a model of a powerful modern ship serves as a way to attract students to the "Ship Modeling" association.

Model of a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser

"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov"

Materials for work:

Wood, birch plywood (10 mm), blanks of bars of various sizes, slats 2-4 mm thick (various lengths and widths, as they will be joined during operation), epoxy resin (10 kg), fiberglass (3 rolls) , car putty (4 kg), primer, impregnation for wood, car paint, sanding emery tape (paper), hot-melt adhesive.

Instruments:

Industrial stapler, jigsaw, grinder, drill (screwdriver), angle grinder (grinder), wire cutters, cutting tools (knives, saws), spatulas (rubber), thermal gun.

Stages of work:

a) On the Internet we find drawings of the model of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov".

b) We increase the size of the drawings in accordance with the selected scale. We make templates of the main parts on paper. We transfer the templates to plywood. We cut out the blanks, process them with sandpaper, removing small chamfers along the edges and removing chips and burrs.

c) We put on transverse frames on two longitudinal beams(Frame (Dutch. spanthout, from spant - "rib" and hout - "tree") - a transverse rib of the ship's hull; a wooden or metal transverse stiffener of the skin of the hull of a ship, an aircraft).

In the upper part of each frame, a groove is provided for fixing 2 load-bearing beams (each 20x50x5000 mm in size). We use hot glue to connect the frames with the beam.

Interior view of the ship's hull with frames installed.

d) When the glue on the frames dries, we begin to sheathe the sides with thin slats. The thickness of the material should be 0.8 - 1.2 mm, because only in this case we will be able to bend the skin parts without the risk of damaging them. We fix the sheathing rails with a stapler at the points of contact with the frames.

First stage ship plating works:

Finishing the nose:

e) After sheathing the hull, we eliminate the irregularities and roughness of the rack sheathing using a grinder. In places of the most pronounced defects, deflections, we apply a layer of putty on wood in order to save epoxy.

Sealing of inter-rail joints with a mixture of epoxy resin with sawdust:

f) Grinding the ship's hull after impregnating the glass fabric applied to the skin with epoxy resin:

g)Made from thinplywood deck superstructures, which include a ship control center, a radar station (RLS), a navigation control system.

The central control unit for the course of the ship:
