Chapter 1047: Pit 3 brother did not discuss

Kyiv, the first real aircraft carrier of the Soviet Navy! The result of many years of hard work by the Soviet Navy! Historically, this aircraft carrier was just a tasteless aircraft carrier capable of taking off and landing vertical aircraft. After a few years, it never carried the Yak-38 again, and it became a helicopter carrier.

However, this has something to do with the strategy of the Soviet Union at that time. The Kyiv is not an offensive aircraft carrier. Its main task is to protect its own nuclear submarines, eliminate enemy nuclear submarines under the water, and prepare for the launch of nuclear bombs. Said that this kind of aircraft carrier is just the nanny of the submarine.

And now, after Andre's improvement, it has completely turned into an offensive aircraft carrier. The nose of the angled deck is upturned, allowing the MiG-23k to ski-jump takeoff. There are fewer planes, and it has a very strong attack power.

However, this is a transformed aircraft carrier after all. The bow is still equipped with a large number of weapons. At the same time, the bridge is tall and the parking area is very small. The deck operation and scheduling of the aircraft carrier are very difficult. In fact, this aircraft carrier is only the Soviet Union. The real aircraft carrier of the naval aviation, that is, the replacement before the Soviet Union appeared!

And now, with the new aircraft carriers being manufactured one by one, the inconvenient Kyiv will eventually be decommissioned! This kind of large warship has high operating costs and no comparable combat effectiveness. Therefore, the Navy has no objection to Andre's sale of this warship. After selling this warship, new warships will join! They are looking forward to the latest 80,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The size of the Pacific Fleet can only have two aircraft carriers at the same time.

However, if this aircraft carrier is dismantled after it is retired, it will definitely be a waste, sell it? In fact, the Soviet Union also has to look at it. Which country needs it. Looking all over the world, only India is the most suitable! Indians urgently need a new aircraft carrier replacement!

It's almost a hit and miss, and now, it's just to see if the Indians can accept it!

200 million rubles, this price is definitely not expensive! Even if you go to the shipbreaking yard and dismantle the ship and sell it for scrap, you can sell it for fifty million rubles! To Indians, it's just like picking it up for nothing!

General Kumaramangalam glanced at Rajiv and saw the other side nod. Then, General Kumaramangalam said, "If the price is 200 million rubles, we can consider accepting it."

"We will definitely not treat our Indian friends badly." Andre said, "It's just that there are some weapons on this warship that involve our military secrets, so we must remove them, for example, We need to dismantle the p-500 anti-ship missiles placed at the front of the warship. Moreover, the operation of this weapon is complicated and requires the cooperation of the satellite system. If it is handed over to you, you will not be able to operate it.”

The Kyiv-class aircraft carrier, after all, is the treasure of the Soviet Union. There are many top-secret weapon systems on it. Among them, the most important is the anti-ship missile with a range of more than 550 kilometers. This is a killer specially tailored for the American aircraft carrier formation!

This kind of weapon cannot be given to India, given to them, and they cannot operate it.

Disappointment flashed in the eyes of General Kumaramangaram, in fact, of course they wanted this missile! However, it was a top-secret weapon of the Soviet Union, how could it be exported to India at will? If the front-end anti-ship missile launcher and the reloading device are removed, isn't the bow of the ship vacant?

Thinking of this, General Kumaramangalam suddenly flashed light in his mind. In this case, if he just remodeled it, his combat power would be improved to a new level!

This warship is not called an aircraft carrier by the Soviets, but a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser. From the right side of the warship, it looks like a cruiser! Now, the bow dismantles the weapon system, just like the No. 3 ship of the Kyiv class, put up a ski jump deck on the bow!

The biggest advantage of this is that the take-off area and the landing area are separated! Move the ski-jump deck on the angled deck to the bow of the ship, so that when an aircraft lands on the angled deck, it will not affect the take-off of the aircraft in the bow area, and the combat effectiveness will be improved!

It is definitely feasible to transform it according to the appearance of their No. 3 ship!

Thinking of this, General Kumaramangalam said: "Marshal Andre, if those weapon systems are removed, can we request some modifications to the aircraft carrier? For example, remove the ski-jump deck on the angled deck and change it to The bow comes up? At the same time, expand the area of ​​the hangar below to accommodate more fighter jets."

The brains of Indians are really bright! I was still thinking about how to tempt the Indians to operate on this aircraft carrier, and then take the opportunity to extort a sum of money. Now, the Indians have come up with it!

"This, of course, no problem, do you mean to change it to our No. 3 ship?" Andrei said.

If it can be changed, the Soviet Union has already changed it, why sell this aircraft carrier! The transformation is not a simple matter. It is not a matter of cutting a few steel plates and welding a few more steel plates. This kind of transformation is almost equivalent to building a new ship! Experts from the Soviet Union have long evaluated that it is not cost-effective to refit this warship according to the standard of the No. 3 ship, so they added a jump deck to the angled deck improvised.

Now, Indians want to change, of course, give them this chance!

"Right now, our Black Sea Shipyard has a relatively full schedule." Andre said, "If you want to transform, you can simply transform it at Kawasaki Heavy Industries in the island country. The last transformation was carried out there. Let them Evaluate and see how much it will cost, it shouldn't be too much."

First fool the Indians, as long as you hand in the initial 200 million rubles, you can keep adding funds to them! If you don't add it, then pull back this horribly dismantled ship! The initial funds will never be refunded! This method is the same as the later Russian pit Asan.

Andrei is already imagining Asan's expression two or three years later, it must be quite poignant!

"Marshal Andre, when this aircraft carrier joins our Indian Navy, we can't continue to operate the backward MiG-23k carrier aircraft." Just after Andre felt that the project had been finished, Kumaramanga General Ram spoke again.

MiG-23k, behind? Actually not at all! The dual-engine modification, the thrust-to-weight ratio is quite strong, coupled with the design of the variable swept wing, it has a wide flight envelope and excellent performance! Moreover, the continuous improvement of electronic equipment has also kept the MiG-23k in the forefront. Not to mention, in its own internal confrontation exercises, the MiG-23k even defeated the MiG-29 repeatedly, which made the Mikoyan Design Bureau look like Confused.

And now, Asan actually said that the MiG-23k was behind!

"Then what kind of plane do you want?" Andrei asked.

"We want a third-generation aircraft," said General Kumaramangalam. "For example, like your newest carrier-based aircraft, the Su-33."
