The problems suffered by the powerful Russian Navy

Russian Kirov class Battle Cruiser ( Image credits- Wikimedia Commons / United States Navy) The Russian navy is now a shadow of it's former self,  a mere shadow of the mighty former soviet fleet. The main problem confronting the Russian fleet is it's acute problem with it's ship yards that has become inefficient and also a large discrepancy in the procurement process. The Russian navy is fast transforming itself from a blue water navy to a Green water one, albeit with a deadly fang with long range cruise missiles like the Kalibr. The National Interest discusses the problems faced by the Russian Navy in detail. You can read the entire article here

The 5 Most Powerful Navies of 2030 ( Source- The National Interest / Author- Kyle Mazokami)

Image credits- Indian navy Source- The National Interest Author- Kyle Mizokami The most powerful navies in 2030 will be a reflection of the broader state of the world. Some countries are invested in preserving the current international order, and see naval power as a means to maintain it. Other emerging countries are building navies commensurate with their newfound sense of status, often with an eye towards challenging that order. The eastward shift in naval power will continue in 2030, a product of both declining defense budgets in Europe and growing economies in Asia. While the most powerful navies of the Cold War were concentrated largely in Europe, by 2030 both China and India will be on the list, with Japan and South Korea as runners-up also fielding large, modern naval forces. Ship-wise, there are two classes that will define the most powerful navies: aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines. Aircraft carriers reflect the need to maintain a global

Admiral Nakimov ( Image credits- Wikimedia Commons / USN) Source- Russia & India Report Author- Oleg Kuleshov Project 1144, to reconstruct the ‘Admiral Nakhimov’ the world’s largest missile cruiser, is taking place in northern Russia, at the country’s only docking facility for building atomic submarine cruisers. After the upgrade, it will replace the Pyotr Velikiy, another cruiser which will also undergo a refit, as the navy’s flagship. According to Vladimir Spiridopulo, the cruiser’s design engineer, the upgraded Admiral Nakhimov will be the Russian Navy’s most powerful ship. It will be equipped with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles. A crucial stage in the production, involving removal of old equipment from the cruiser, has been completed, Sevmash told RIR. Preparations are on for the refit. The abrasive cleaning of the hull will be complete by the year end. The hull structure has been repaired; cutouts have been made at the location of the Granit cruise missile launc

America's Nightmare: The Soviet Union's (Almost) Super Aircraft Carrier ( Source- The National Interest / Author- Paul Richard Huard)

Soviet proposed super carrier Ulyanovsk ( Image credits- Wikimedia Commons / Author- K.E Cepreeb) Source- The National Interest Author- Paul Richard Huard Had she ever sailed, the Soviet supercarrier Ulyanovsk would have been a naval behemoth more than 1,000 feet long, with an 85,000-ton displacement and enough storage to carry an air group of up to 70 fixed and rotary wing aircraft. With a nuclear-powered engine—and working in conjunction with other Soviet surface warfare vessels and submarines—the super carrier would have steamed through the oceans with a purpose. Namely, to keep the U.S. Navy away from the Motherland’s shores. But the Ulyanovsk is a tantalizing “almost” of history. Moscow never finished the project, because it ran out of money. As the Cold War ended, Russia plunged into years of economic hardship that made building new ships impossible. The Ulyanovsk died in the scrap yards in 1992. But now the Kremlin is spending billions of rubles mod

Russia to Upgrade 10 Nuclear Submarines by 2020 (Source- The Diplomat /Author- Franz Stefan-Gady)

Russian Akula Class Submarine Vepr  ( Image source- Wikimedia Commons / Credits- As seen in the web) Source- The Diplomat Author- Franz Stefan- Gady The Russian Navy will upgrade ten multi-purpose nuclear submarines by 2020, according to Russian Admiral Vladimir Chirkov, the navy’s commander-in-chief. Two Russian shipyards, Zvyozdochka in the northwest and Zvezda in Russia’s Far East, will upgrade ten project 971 SSN Akula-class and project 949A SSGN Oscar-class II nuclear-powered submarines in the coming years. Two Oscar-class II submarines are active with the Northern Fleet and five with the Pacific Fleet, whereas five Akula-class SSN’s serve in the Pacific and six in the Northern Fleet. Between 40 to 70 percent of  submarines in both fleets are estimated to not be operational. Up until last week, it was unclear whether the Oscar-class II subs stationed in the Pacific were also scheduled for the overhaul; this now appears to be the case. The upgrades are supposed

Russia’s Eastern Command at Sea ( Source- The Diplomat / Author- Greg Austin)

Franz-Stefan Gady reported recently in The Diplomat on the procurement plans and order of battle for the Fleet. For Russia, the U.S. pivot to the Pacific and East Asia is every bit as fundamental, and threatening, as it is for China. Russia has territorial disputes with Japan, as does China. Russia is a key stakeholder in the geopolitics of the Korean peninsula. And as a new operational requirement, Pacific Fleet units and bases are servicing expanded Artic operations. Pacific Fleet units will continue to join multi-national anti-piracy missions off the Horn of Africa, while Russia and China will move

Does Russia Really Need a Second Aircraft Carrier? ( Source- The Diplomat / Author- Ankit Panda)

On Monday, Russia’s ITAR-TASS news agency reported that the Russian navy will “receive a new promising aircraft carrier.” Additionally, Chirkov told state media that the Russian Navy can expect to add a total of 50 vessels of multiple types. The Russian Navy currently operates a sole carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, which has been in operation since 1991 after being launched in the late-1980s by the Soviet Union. “The Navy will have an aircraft carrier. The research companies are working on it, and strictly in compliance with the requirements from the Chief Commander,” Chirkov remarked, reportedly during a trip to a diesel engine supply plant for

Russia Just Christened A Top-Secret Nuclear Submarine ( Copy Right @ The Business Standard/ Russia beyond the headlines)

Yasin class Submarine ( Image credits- Wikimedia commons/Kremlin) On June 17, the new Project-885 Yasen-class multi-purpose nuclear submarine joined the ranks of the Russian Navy’s fleet. The creation of this nuclear submarine should have become a revolution for the Soviet submarine fleet. The key feature of the Yasen-class submarine, which still remains one of the Russian defense industry’s most closely guarded projects, is its universality, previously unachievable either by its Russian predecessors or their foreign equivalents. The Severodvinsk, the lead Yasen-class submarine, was launched on June 17. By the time design work on it was finished in 1991, the submarine marked a new era in Russian submarine construction. Unlike in the U.S., where from the moment its nuclear submarine fleet came into being there was a drive towards uniformity, in the USSR there were many submarines created under different projects, which were difficult to unify and whose functions often ove

Ukrainian Navy flagship takes Russia’s side – report ( News Copyright@http://rt.com/)

Image Courtesy- Wikimedia and the Author Ukraine’s Navy flagship, the Hetman Sahaidachny frigate, has reportedly refused to follow orders from Kiev, and come over to Russia’s side and is returning home after taking part in NATO operation in the Gulf of Aden flying the Russian naval flag. There has been conflicting information on where exactly the vessel is, but a Russian senator has confirmed to Izvestia daily that the frigate defected to the Russian side. “ Ukraine’s Navy flagship the Hetman Sahaidachny has come over to our side today. It has hung out the St Andrew’s flag, ” Senator Igor Morozov, a member of the committee on the international affairs, told Izvestia daily. He said the flagship is on its way back to the Black Sea after drills in the Mediterranean. “ The crew has fulfilled the order by the chief commander of Ukraine’s armed forces Viktor Yanukovich ,” he added. The move comes after the Navy command resigned Friday. Self-appointed President Aleksandr Turchin
