Russian United Aircraft Corporation CEO: Russia is developing a carrier -based model of stealth fighters, which will be carried on the Russian aircraft carrier

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] According to the US "Defense Outpost" website reported on the 23rd, Yuri Siyeza, CEO of Russia's United Aircraft Corporation, revealed that Russia is developing the ship-based model of the Su-57 stealth fighter, which will be equipped with Russia in Russia On the naval aircraft carrier.

It is reported that the relevant news told the Russian media at the "Army -2022" International Military Technology Forum. He mentioned the recently released theory of Russian Naval Academy called for "advanced aircraft carriers", so "the birth of the carrier battle group should be equipped with new aircraft and unmanned aviation systems. It is possible to complete the task of Russia's Navy Aviation in time. "

It is reported that the theory of Russian Navy across the Russian President Putin signed this year's Russian Navy Festival (July 31). The goal is to make the Russian Navy a "powerful maritime power", including controlling the Arctic channel and realizing the permanent existence of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea "". In order to achieve these goals, Putin called on the Russian Navy to use the "vermiculite" hypersonic missile to armed its warships and build new aircraft carriers. The current Russian only aircraft carrier "Kuznetsov" has been modified since 2015, and is expected to be re -service in 2024.

The Russian Society quoted Yuri Stesa's words that Russian Naval Scholars explicitly demanded the construction of advanced aircraft carriers. "From our perspective, the most promising field involves building an aircraft carrier-based aircraft on the basis of the fifth-generation fighter and using drones." It is reported that the Sukhoi Design Bureau responsible for the development of the Su-57 is affiliated to the belonging to At the United Aircraft Company. By the end of 2024, the Russian Air Force will receive 22 Su-57 fighters, and by 2028, the number will increase to 76.

Regarding whether the Su-57 can board the ship, Chinese military expert Zhang Xuefeng said that Russia has the successful experience of designing carrier-based fighters and developed carrier-based types on the basis of Su-57. Make greatly improved.

Zhang Xuefeng said that the general land -based fighter needs to "change to" carrier -based fighters and need to improve the performance of two aspects. The first is to strengthen the strength of the body and landing frame. The take -off and landing method of carrier -based fighters is special, especially the landing method. The sinking rate is very high, and it is even called "controllable fall". In addition, improved fighters must also have good take -off and landing capabilities, especially landing capabilities.

Zhang Xuefeng believes that the Russian Su-57 wings have a large area and a high weight ratio. They also use moving edges, and their own take-off and landing performance is better. Based on this, it has no difficulty in developing carrier-based aircraft.

However, he believes that if you want to build a large -scale aircraft carrier and equipped with carrier -based aircraft by yourself, at least you need to be "three countries": there are urgent needs, or such ambitions, and have sufficient funds and strong techniques. Russia's only aircraft carrier "Kuznetsov" was built during the Soviet period. It adopts a skid -off method and cannot give full play to the combat performance of carrier -based aircraft.

At the "Army-20122" Military Technology Forum, Russia exhibited a modular universal ship designed by the Neva Design Bureau. This "maritime complex" can be converted into a variety of large surface ships, including aircraft carriers and amphibious attacks Ship, transport ships and hospital ships, and even support vessels in the Arctic region. Its aircraft carrier configuration displacement is 45,000 tons, 250 meters long, 65 meters wide, 9 meters of water, and the maximum speed is 29 knots. From the conceptual design, the ship did not use a traditional sliding deck, but instead using a projectile. However, this design is still in the conceptual design stage, and at the same time, it is small, and it may not be suitable for heavy fighters such as Su-57.

Although Russia has the ambition to become a power of the maritime and has certain technical reserves, military expenses are less than 1/10 of the United States, and there are many weapons models that need to be developed and equipped. Insufficient funds are probably the most important issue facing the Russian Navy. (Zhang Jie)
