Russian and Soviet Aircraft Carriers

[uk 75]

The Russian Navy focus on frigates and submarines puts me in mind of cash strapped post 1966 Britain.

It is no accident that wishful thinking artwork abounded in both countries as a glance at this site shows.

What type are those two large height-finding radars on island of the original Pr.1160 model?
I can't place them on any other Soviet design of the period.

 

[M. A. Rozon]

It should be Razliv, carried on the Dzerzhinsky after her conversion to Project 70E. NATO called it High Lune. There might be some detail differences but they are likely incidental. After looking at the pictures and looking up the Dzerzhinsky, they seem to be one and the same.

This digital illustration of the Project 1153 Orel-class nuclear aircraft carrier features MiG-23K and Beriev P-42 Garpoon fighters, in ASW and AEW variants, on its deck.

The Yamal M-45 “TYPHOON” approaches the Project 1153 Orel-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier

 

[Anduriel]

Only it's a 1160. 3 cats, 2 starboard elevators (1153 has 1 stbd, 1 deck, 2 cats), angled smokestack for reserve propulsion, no PESA array on island.
Screenshots are from Sea Power game, if I guessed correctly.

Would be nuts to see a yeeted navalized mig-23 with steam billowing around and behind it!

Edit: I tried looking and could find no definitive answer on this. Anyone aware if project 1153 was going to use navalized gecko, or navalized tor as it's point defense missile?

Sorry...I was fooled by artist's style - it's definitely is the same artist that makes drawings for Modelist-Konstruktor magazine section that has the same name (Morskaya Kollektziya).

BTW, found interesting site WLFSCD -

Сайт «АТРИНА» • Публикации о кораблях и флотах

Soviet military laser ship, soviet aircraft carriers projects 1920-1955, etc.

Все материалы с сайта «Атрина» будут постепенно перенесены на новый сайт «ОТВАГА»

All materials from the "Atrina" website will be gradually transferred to the new "OTVAG" website

You can find from the YouTube that some players try to recreate some interesting Cold War scenarios, including Oscar vs CVs, the Baltic run, the hunt for Red October, lol
