+Callista M. M. he is singing about our Homeland .about hard times have befallen our people and about how we fought it.about what our country is big and how many ethnic groups inhabit it!!!Thanks for the like!!
peter the great is an asimetrical warfare at sea superior warship per ecxelence!just ask the british navy how the Argentinians raise hell on them whit exocet French inaccurate missiles in the falklands!
Why does it have to be better than the American? Why not better than South African or some other country? What do you imply? Will it make you feel better if Russia and America have war? And most of the population of the world dies? How good does that anthem sound if over half of Russian people are dead? I think Russian and American people should behold one another and make a good example for peace.
John Ballas I completely agree with your comment. T-_V1ru$ is a piece of shit, but unfortunately he is not alone. Videos of every type have people commenting about Russia vs America for no reason at all(btw I really like Russians). There is plenty of guilt to go around too. Both Americans and Russians make totally unnecessary comments about the other. That's bad enough, but there are many losers that are from neither country that are happy to instigate trouble.
Canada and USA Rock your Nickname alone says the truth about you . don't try and act all neutral n shit . i've seen you in many other videos doing the same exact thing your lecturing about right now . what a hypocrite
A single ship can devastate a battle group 450 mi away, defend itself against a wolf-pack cruise missile attack, and provide air cover to an entire region!
The Joker Even as it is. It can smash USA carrier grope alone. Cos It has shipwreck supersonik anti ship missiles and can get any ship in 700km rang. One, two such missiles will be enought for carrier to make it out of battle or send it to botom. It is 7 tons missile with 500kg tnt warhead with speed 2.5 mach. But soon all 4 kirov class get new circon. This makes USA navy useless totaly. And I hope Russia sell circon to all of the countries so USA never ever invade any state.
@@mer3abec You massively undermine carrier strike group defenses and capabilities. The _Pyotr Veliky_ is the only active ship, _Nahkimov_ if it ever enters service again at this point will be taking over for _Pyotr Veliky_ as it goes into refit. The other two are laid up and likely to be scrapped in coming years.
@@peterson7082 You also forgot the fact that the Kirov battlecruiser doesn't operate alone in the seas. It is supported by Slava cruiser, Udaloy and soveremeny destroyers, submarines, frigates etc.
THIS was the class of ships in the Russian Navy that forced the US to rethink their naval strategy. KIROV class was extremely well built, highly sophisticated, and armed to the fuckin' teeth! There was no comparable US counter to her. Rather than build a new ship to compete, the US elected to re-commission the IOWA class battleships and modernize them. It was a master stroke! IOWA class battleships were 40 years old and very manpower intensive to operate but their very design and 16 inch guns made them the counter to the KIROV. This fact was not lost on the Soviet Navy.
Now 4 Battleships class "Kirov" get upgrade,evrything will change on them,this already started and till 2018 will be in full operation status...Russia gets mighty ships no match in world today, but in the future also at least 20-30 years!
maxim3160 Let's just hope they never get actually used in combat, i'd love to see them shoot down a wall of cruise missiles, but i'd hate to know WW3 likely broke out.
VikingHaag How do you think that slow cruse missile like Tomahawk would hit a ship with 96 S-400, 48 S-300, 128 Tor and 40 OsaM missiles + 6 Kashtan gun/missile system ? Lol
Kiciner Jems Dude its a realy awesoe ship but there are more weapons to bring down a ship (Torpedo for example) And in the end it just needs the right amount of missiles to bring it down.
Without a doubt the most powerful surface combatant in the world. It would take 3 or 4 Arleigh Burks or Ticonderoga's to take her out. The only thing that could stand toe to toe with that monster would have been the Iowa class battleships.
Saylor Bob Well the Iowa's armor belt would give it some immunity to the Kirov's anti ship missiles. If the Motive captain was foolish enough to get within gun range a few 16 inch shells would do the trick. Iowa could swarm attack with 16 harpoon's and 32 tomahawk's and dispute the claim that they are slow they couldn't penetrate the Kirov's air defense systems is BS. Both missiles fly very low and the are small with a tiny RCS. Some would penetrate for sure. If you think a Tico or an Arleigh Burk could defeat this monster, I would disagree.
David Smith Agreed, remember that the main goal of the Ticonderoga is to be cheap, similar story with the Burke. The Virginia-Class was a far superior ship, killed by politics and lobbyists. The Spruance was a much more capable hull, producing much more power to the ship. If the Spruance-Class and Virgina-Class had stayed in service, the Zumwalt would not have been needed. Both ships had superior range, power, upgrade potential, and available space to their successors. It may seem like a rabbit trail, but my point being is that the Burkes and the Ticos are just not that good, we built better ships 40 years ago.
tjohn6041 I would disagree on that, the tico's use the same hull as the Spru-can. They were the most expensive cruisers ever built.The Aegis is far superior to the Virginia class's suite of sensors. The Burks are amazing ships. The first to be made completely out of steel since ww2, it is also the first ship to have armor since ww2. I would take a Tyco or a Burk any time.
Yea. Top speed 30 knot+ for a range of 1,000 miles. Then the maximum speed drops to around 20 knots. It requires both nuclear and oil to run at maximum speed which means that range is limited. Even the USS Long Beach (CGN-9) built in the 1960's could go several times around the world at maximum speed without refueling.
bummer910 You are a jerk and a moron. No ship has an unlimited range. Over time the fuel rods have to be replaced. A Nimitz class carrier can go 12 years before the fuel rods have to be replaced. All nuclear power plants have this limitation. They can't run forever on the same set of fuel rods. By the way a Nimitz class carrier can go it's full speed and isn't limited to 1,000 miles at that speed. The Kirov class is the first nuclear power warship the USSR built which is why it has this defect. As for the USS Long Beach she was first refueled after 12 years of service. How many times was your Battle Cruiser refueled with oil over a 12 year period? Has your Battle Cruiser reached 12 years of service life yet without having the fuel rods changed?
***** Don't you understand if you added a CONAS system to a nuclear only ship, then you would also have a shorter time at max speed, because you have a new max speed. Also, if you removed the steam boosters from the Kirov, its new max speed would be 20 knots! And nobody is trying to say that any ship can run at full speed for eternity. We are just saying that the ships crew will have died of starvation long before the fuel runs out.
***** Hey you know the kirov is roughly 10,000 tonnes heavier right? oh nooo a much larger heavier ship goes slower oh and look it has a thrust assist system so it can go faster if necessary or in case its main power source fails, oh noooooooooo. go fuck yourself
Bummer910 first of all battle cruiser not battleship since it doesn,t have 21 inches of armor and this guy knows his shit plus iowa class would be yelling rape all day and it doesn,t need a nuclear reactor even though I would love to see iowa,s top speed with nicvlear reactor
The Kirov Class Battle Cruisers ARE Now the Biggest Surface Warships other than the Iowa Battleships and IF a Simulated Battle between the 2 Warships, the Kirov Battle cruiser Will Win and even the Yamato Battleship will also Lose to this Kirov warship in terms of Missiles attack even with the Armor plating of the Yamato or the Iowa Battleships too.
+Nathan Peterson It is iffy whether a carrier can be called a surface warSHIP as most are almost if not entirely lacking in any form of offensive weaponry. The air group represents their offensive power, but the aircraft in it are not 'literally' part of the ship.
Now that's what i call a warship and especially this ship are designed to protect her own water rather than invade the foreign one ,i really love this ship
A really awesome looking ship. A true powerhouse of the oceans. I'm not Russian but this supership does bring an amazing impression. ^^ I would love to take an excursion on this vessel.
part 3. yes the yak 141 would have been an amazing aircraft unlike the yak 38s which were terrible and had a tiny combat radius of around 60 miles. The kievs had a lot of potential in them if they were paired with the yak 141s. Even now if the need arises, they could have been converted to kuznetsov class like the INS Vikramaditya for India
Its because you feel good ! USSR national anthem. I grew up in this country. I have only best memories of my childhood. Hope Russia brake trough this mad banksters. Or humanity fucked up.
@ukFreesoul the first kirov class ship was launched in 1977. If you look at footage from the soviet union some of it is bad quality or in black and white. 4 ships were built, the latest commisionned in 1998 "pyotr veliky" with pennant number "099" and "183" on its bow. These vessels are far from dated, currently one, the pyotr veliky is seaworthy today but the other 3 are all now being overhauled and refitted with state of the art electronics and missiles to be put back into service.
Good news 3 more Kirov class battlecruiser return to service 2018 The shipyard earlier said that the cruiser would be equipped with P-800 Oniks (SS-N-26) supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, air defense missiles based on the S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) and close-in weapons systems, which are designed to shoot down missiles and aircraft approaching the ship.
Wish that was true, but its not. "Admiral Nakhimov" is now sent to modernization, "Peter The Great" will be next. "Ushakov" and "Lazarev" will most likely be cut into scrap metal.
Zbyszkoz "Sevmash" experts are my source. "Peter" and "Nackhimov" modernization will be completed at about 2020 they say. By the time "Ushakov" and "Lazarev" will be 36 and 40 years old accordingly. So the chance of getting them back in service is just theoretical.

в 18 надеюсь увидим адмирал ушакова во всей красе.ЕЩЁ 3 должны начать модернизировать.Это самые мощные надводные корабли в мире по вооружённости.Недаром их американцы за 300-400 миль обходили их там ракеты оникс и гранит-убийцы всех недругов России
What some US posters here forget, is that the Russians have very advanced long range supersonic antiship missiles, which could take out any US Navy warship, even before it got in range to fire its own obsolete slow Harpoon missile!
scrmepal Regrettably, this is true.. Russia's missiles are much more developed than ours.. But those "Obsolete slow Harpoon missiles" can easily cripple that ship.. The Kirov's armor is thin, much like most modern naval ships, save for Aircraft carriers. This allows just three or four harpoons to strike it and put it out of service! No matter how many countermeasures you have, our jets can fire the Standoff Land Attack Missile (Extended Range), which is an air-launched version of the Harpoon, and our carriers will still be in a safe distance for the AEGIS system to kick in and repel those missiles..
***** I was just pointing out, that as of now the Chinese and the Russians have more capable anti-ship missiles........i know that the US is working hard to replace its Harpoons... .....and yes any ship from any nation with a very competent anti-air, anti-missile, missile system would still be vulnerable to a swarm attack of anti-ship missiles.
Only one problem: How do you target something that is more than 500 km outside of your radar range? The problem with a ship is it's radar is hampered by the horizon. Low flying aircraft, other ships and sea skimming missiles aren't even detected until they are well within 100km, depending on the altitude (unless their own radars are turned on). Not knocking the ship - it's an impressive piece of kit to be sure, but still no match for a carrier imho.
You were the one talking about this ship fighting carriers, I just put my two cents in. You're right, there is little point in comparing them. Yes, there are missiles that can be fired in the general direction of where you think a target is and the missiles will home on their own, but you were talking about defending against an air assault. Anyway, awesome ship. Cheers.
some explanation on its capabilities would be nice, otherwise 99% of the world's population will just be bewildered by this big hulk of metal without a weapon visible.
А ты вспомни войну в Ливии!))) Когда наш 1 тяжелый атомный ракетный крейсер "Киров" приплыл в Средиземное море, все военные действия прекратились, а авианесущие корабли с остальными уплыли от туда и ближе чем на 500 км не подходили, после чего война закончилась мирными переговорами! А вашим авианосцам еще долететь нужно до тяжелого атомного ракетного крейсера! Для вас даже гвардейский крейсер "Москва" огромную угрозу представляет с ракетами П-1000 "Вулкан"!)))
this thing carries naval version of S400 anti-aircraft system, P-700 Granit anti-ship missiles, Moskit Missiles, it can single handedly blockade and provide support/firepower and guard the sky alone...
Yes that is correct but it is very likely that the industrial capability would be damaged too in the event of war. In ww2 Japanese couldn't attack the US bases on the west coast of USA. Now anywhere can be attacked in the world with missiles. Such strategic targets like the industrial capacity will not be overlooked and will definitely be hit. Also modern ships are much more complex and less armored than WW2 ships. so a strike could destroy most instantly.
all missile have the capability to get shot down. The soviets/russians rightly used the idea of synchronized saturation attacks from multiple platforms like subs, warships and aircraft etc. Yes many missiles could get shot down but the idea was to overwhelm the defenses with quantity so that even if a few passed through that would be enough to destroy or even just take the ship out of combat action.
part 2. New support vessels such as frigates and corvettes are being built e.g. admiral gorshkov class frigates and steregushchy class corvettes. Also a new generation of multirole highly effective destroyers is being designed which will be able to replace three classes of vessels. Thanks to modern weapons it will surpass the Large ASW destroyers in anti-submarine warfare and modern surface combat destroyers (continued part 3)
i'm quite sure the yak 38 could not guide missiles, that job was left to the kamov ka 25 and 27 helicopters and the tupolev tu 95 bear D. The concept of designing a VTOL jet was good for obvious reasons but the yak 38 was no where near as good as the british harrier jump jet. Currently russia plans to reactivate the 3 kirovs in mothball and is starting design studies on new aircraft carriers. continue to part 2
No its not. Fleet with that ship can be deadly for any enemy fleet or ship. It is useless to attack land targets but on the sea it can destroy anything. USN doesnt have anti ship missile like P-700, Harpoon`s maximimal range is 300-400km, so that gives big advantage to basically any Russian ship with P-700. AA systems on Kirov, Slava, Sovremenny etc. can protect fleet from any attack from air.
part 2. the VTOL capability was not good with the yak 38 aircraft. However it was included because the admirals had it in their minds to develop a good VTOL jet. The yak 38 was an interim solution as yakovlev design bureau already stated and would have been used to gain experience in designing and operating VTOL aircraft until a more capable aircraft was built i.e the yak 141 which was made for one purpose as the navy wanted, to provide air defense of the fleet .
the Kievs were designed as VTOL and Anti Submarine Warfare platforms using their ka 25/27 helicopters but also as cruisers designed to collectively support the action groups hence the P 500 Bazalt anti ship missiles at the front of the ships. These ships were multirole in that they could engage large surface targets with the P 500 Bazalt, engage submarines with the helicopters and launch VTOL aircraft for strike missions in support of the group. please continue to part 2.
it is like a choice between a kirov or a kuznetsov. Kirov for more long range missile engagements and the amount of weapons it can carry. Kuznetsov for more flexible attack options to the kirov as well as ground attack fighter support interception etc but is still mainly intended to "support and defend the strategic missile-carrying submarines, surface ships, and maritime missile-carrying aircraft" from wiki. kirov does this too but just by other means using missiles instead of aircraft
part 2. they were envisaged as part of "battle action groups" so basically a kirov instead of a carrier to take on US carriers head on. When the soviet navy switched to bastion defense, kirovs would fire their missiles at stand off distances along with fire support also from the group ships. The kuznetsov(s) were designed later note with sa n 19 missiles with the task of supporting the action groups basically like kirovs but instead of the AA missiles, uses planes that can perform more tasks.
I said its WORTH as aircraft carrier not that it is BETTER than aircraft carrier. Kirov class has S-300, Tor and OSA AA systems, AK-630 and Kashtan gun systems, 10 torpedo tubes and most important, P-700 anti ship missiles with range of over 600km. That is a massive firepower. Fact it has bigger radar signature doesnt mean much since it has defence against every possible threat,.
@ukFreesoul lets take the type 45: MBDA missiles range 3-130km, various tracking radars 400km range, 2 Phalanx CIWS. Not much in terms of anti ship or submraine . fitted for but not with 2x quadruple subsonic harpoon missiles, 4,5 inch gun, lynx heli with sea skua missiles. Kirov class (pyotr veliky at the moment) 20x granit supersonic nuclear capable mach 2.5 anti ship missiles range 625km, 96 mach 6 s300fm a2a missiles range 150km. 192 9K311 Tor point defense sam, TO BE CONTINUED.
part 1. according to this website ill send the link via PM, the angled launcher is to ensure "slanted angle instead of being perpendicular so that when the malfunctioned missile is ejected, it would fall into the water instead of landing on the deck." and "These tubes are angled due to the length of the missile, and thus not strictly vertical launch"
kh 55sm = 3,000 km (1,600 nmi) x555 cruise missile = around 3500km obviously everything i have said is in theory. With all the other factors combined one one really knows the outcome. But i hope it stays like that because i do not want to find out the hard way
part 3. "and guided-missile ships in terms of surface firepower and air defense capabilities, with the exception of the[nuclear-powered battlecruiser] Peter the Great and other ships of that class". Submarines like the new borey class SSBNs and multi purpose yasen class are being built
It has more anti air and anti missile defence than some countries do. Plus its part of battlegroup, so it has support of submarines, destroyers, fregates etc. That ship is worth as aircraft carrier considering its firepower and capabilities.
part 2, also the place from which it was fired as seen from the smoke is between the ship's superstructure and the s300 vertical launchers that are nearer to the bow of the ship. also judging by the size of the missile, its definitely a shipwreck
true, but it would have worked. The naval war would not have dragged on like in land conflicts. Ships as you know take years to complete and cannot be replaced like tanks so in the end it would be worth it.
When the Kirov class of Battlecruiser was launched, Amerika took all it's 4 IOWA class Battleship's out of mothballs and modernized as a direct challenge to the Kirov. And that is FACT, not fantasy. Amerikan Naval Brass were crapping in their pants at the time.
Max Super They were brought back to protect the carriers for the most part as the Kirov's were coined "carrier killers' , a Russian rear admiral also quoted the battleships "...[the Iowas] are in fact the most to be feared in [America's] entire naval arsenal..." and that the Soviet's weaponry "...would bounce off or be of little effect..." against the Iowa-class battleships. -Quoted from Sergey Gorshkov who was Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet union from 1956-1985
Indigo baloon Russian anti-ship missiles are designed to go for the hull, typically, no ships have armor in any shape or form anymore. Maybe a patch of Kevlar here and there. They have the only ones that can penetrate 10" of steel, but be reminded, the Iowas have 7.5" of STS armor plating. The superstructure is the only one that can't take anything to be penetrated.
Great. Since the Iowa is retired permanently these devastating ships will totally have no counter to them and nothing can stop them from ruling the seas
+ Mrwong11989 The iowas could never counter the kirov. The iowas are ww2 battleships with guns. The kirov is a missile cruiser that would kill any battleship from at least 200km away. And don't come with the crap that the shipwrecks are not enough.
"The appearance of the Kirov class played a key role in the recommissioning of the Iowa-class battleships by the United States Navy in the 1980s." Read the Wikipedia article about the Kirov before starting a conversation.
+mrwong11989 Unlikely. The Kirov's reactor gives off so much radiation, it wouldn't surprise me if the life expectancy of the ship's crew decreases a lot.
+mrwong11989 what the Iowa class was kept all threw out the the Korean Vietnam desert storm it wasn't recommisioned in the 80's and the Kirov class isn't technically a battle cruiser the definition of a battleship with light amour where in the fuck are them 15 inch guns its technically a destroyer on steroids btw I would know because I had a whole generation on the Iowa class my great uncle was goin to be on the late U.S.S Kentucky was supposted to be one of the most powerful battleship on the sea
Я использую переводчик, так что фраза может быть неправильным. Существует класс Кировского суда 1. Кирова теперь Адмирал Ушаков 30 декабря 1980 2. Фрунзе теперь Адмирала Лазарева 31 октября 1984 3.
