nah, this thing has an insane amount of point kinetic defense in addition to the RBUs. If anything takes it down, it'll be maintenance costs. Though in a realistic war scenario it just gets cracked open by a torpedo and is allowed to be towed back to port to take up space and manpower. Assuming there is a port to go back to after the tomahawk storm is over.

You mean the flagship of the Black Sea fleet?
Yeah, it’s defenses weren’t working well. But that’s the point, Russia (and the Soviets before them) never put in the maintenance they needed, so even if they were top of the line ships on paper, in reality half of their systems would be unrepairable.

You saw the same situation with their subs. They’d be fairly quiet fresh out of the dry dock, but after a couple years worth of patrols, they’d start getting louder and louder as the machinery went without proper maintenance.

Kirov is a considerably more defended warship.
Moskva had the following anti missile systems.
VLS S300's
Twin arm Osa missiles
6 AK630 30mm CIWS (most of which apparently non-operational)

Kirov has
VLS S300
VLS SAN9's
8 missiles ready on each Kashtan/Pantsir mount (it has 6 of them, 3 on each side)
And 12 30mm guns on 6 twin mounts.

>The LCS has a huge amount of space where the mission modules were supposed to go.
If you mean the US one, that had a mission module that was just VLCs.
It's sort of a silly thing to plan for because why wouldn't you just use a burke/tycho or whatever missile boat you have but the option was there.

It's hard to imagine a scenario where the logistics of keeping a mission module around (plus reloads and reloading facility) would be simpler or smaller than just sending a missile destroyer as well. I'm prepared to hear a case for it and one must have existed on paper for the design to get that far.
I do wonder if any actually got built though, maybe one or two for testing and evaluation purposes.

First off, the mission modules go there. Secondly, those spaces are only ten feet deep, and an SM-2 is 16 feet long. And third, there is a surface-to-surface missile module with vertically launched Hellfires in service. Don't listen to the chink shills that say that the LCS modules don't exist; they're lying.

>...and the Admiral Nakhimov ain't going to be found in either.
No, that is true.
It would be the Barents Sea and that is relatively shallow, the river that SeveralMorsels is mostly 100m which is fine for a sub to get out quietly but not much good for sinking a radioactive embarrassment in.

Small diesels don't need them if they are set up to park on the bottom or can tether to the oceans floor. The Cheonan got sunk by what is probably the most basic sub in service anywhere and it was using ASW sonar better than anything Russia has at the time.

>>
>>65382588
Gorious!
>orbital lift deployed
>>
>>65386222
The russians had amazing sonars on their large surface ships in that era which is why the US navy thought it was so important to make their nuclear submarines so ridiculously quiet that they could style on diesel boats. The Cheonan had a low power version of the infamous hellen keller sonar from the late 70s and no towed array. It was easy pickings - assuming it didn't just strike a mine. But the lack of anechoic coating is a big disadvantage vs a sprint and drift active sweep from a Udaloy or even the Kirov himself. Those ships had sonars so powerful that they could boil the sea water. They also had helicopters with dipping sonars for creeping line searches. You cannot compare that to a cheap corvette on its own. It's delusional.
>>
>>65386310
Well clearly i was misinformed, my throwaway post has instead been highly informative. I had assumed that Russian sonar sucked.

That said i was under the distinct impression that small diesel electrics that can 'land' on the bottom and mostly shut themselves down are a major pain in the ass, especially if they are in shallow waters on the edge of a shelf where things are naturally noisy and have lots of thermal layers. .

Grok told me it was a Norwegian Kobben which according to Jane's fighting ships was helpless against large surface combatants and more suited for ASW and small surface vessels with high frequency sonars.

>the humiliation of the moskva will remain etched in those deep cold waters for a long time
The Moskva sank in 25m of water.
Ukrainian and Romanian Gypsies both will be looting the wreck and taking tourists for diving tours through the pride of the Black Sea Fleet.

/k/ should have better awareness of this sailing tool.

>S-300/400
kneecapped if the onboard AWACS helis go down, only 40N6E has the option for an ARH seeker, the other missiles all rely on radar illumination. you've got a modernized radar but it's still fundamentally the same system as on the Moskva.
>kashtan/pantsir
half-correction guidance, same as the Osas, simultaneous engagements are dodgy at best. also we've seen pantsir's performance against low-level targets (not good). really just replacing the AK-630s and having 2 more launchers per side for close-in missiles.

more importantly, this ship isn't going up against Ukraine and Harpoonskyivs, it's going up against China with Type 052s spamming Chang-librs (with the supersonic terminal rocket stages) and (potentially) YJ-20s, the USN with LRASSM and MK-48 spam, or Japan with Type 12 and ASM-3 spam. all of the weapons it would face are FAR more advanced than Harpoonskyiv, and would be fired in far larger barrages. the pacific fleet would have been better off with more numerous smaller combatants than with one big target, especially now that countries are finally waking up to the idea of spamming a fuckton of cheapo missiles.

Memes aside, the Russians had several other ships in close attendance and abandoned ship in a somewaht organized manner. They SHOULD have removed codebooks, and destroyed cryptographic machinery and electronics.
This is a normal part of an organized abandon ship procedure.

At this point Russia's only defense is the threat that their destroyed vessel will cause a major environmental hazard.

Sink it anyway, Ukraine. Fuck 'em. A little radiation never hurt anyone.

yes, I'm sure going from 1 to 3 launchers per side will make a huge difference when it gets targeted by chicom/usn/nip AShMs

The whole "special military operation" steamroller effect died that one day.
Apparently the Fulda Gap would have been a Fulda traffic queue and the guys with L60s could sleep easy.
>>
>>65387586
That was always the wrong impression.

Their entire surface fleet was a one-shot weapon aimed at keeping NATO carriers and surface ships away from the Barents Sea, and maybe helping their submarines in the Norwegian and Greenland seas.
Their big missile cruisers and destroyers were all built to volley their bigass AShM, and then maybe hopefully somehow not die.

>Fulda traffic queue
Let's not forget the NATO air forces.
Or the fact that if the Soviets want to rush into the North German Plain they have to cross the Elbe.

>For about an hour and a half, sporadic blasts occurred at the supply depot, that resulted in the deaths of between 200–300 people,[11] most of whom were ordnance technicians that had been "sent into the fire in a desperate but unsuccessful effort to defuse or disassemble munitions before they exploded", according to The New York Times.

It's kind of indicative of how fucked up Russians are when someone orders you to run into an exploding ammo depot to dissemble and remove missiles and you just go ahead and do it.

I'm pretty sure it was due to the fact that they couldn't have the Air Defence Radar and the AA Tracking Radar on at the same time, so they had to turn it off to lock onto the Bayraktar and then got a AshM up the aft deck for their troubles.

>>65388102
They also had few or no working fire extinguishers. Allegedly.

>>65379886
I'll believe any of that when it starts taking objectives with those supposed missiles that totally exist and that they would totally put on this showpiece instead of distributing and using to stabilize the front.

Pretty much this. They can’t hit Ukraine from Murmansk with this missiles, and they’ve recently become using missiles more than drones (definitely because Ukraine is struggling to shoot them down, but possibly also due to fuel shortages affecting drone launches). We know that Russia has stripped outlying areas of military resources (including S-300 batteries from around St Petersburg), so why aren’t they from the Admiral Nakhimov? Because the missiles aren’t on there. Maybe the cells have been put in, but the cells will be empty.

What I am wondering is why you think a 20+ thousand ton nuclear battlecruiser is not a credible threat to anything?
>>
>>65388390
Because it can't get close enough to the coast to do anything or it will get blown to shit by anti ship missiles, it can't go out on the open sea or it will get blown to shit by submarines.
It's useless in the hands of Russia.
You need a working aircraft carrier to prepare the coastline for opeartions and you need a working fleet to protect it during anti shipping missions.
A lonely ship will never be a danger to anyone.

Wait a moment. If active sonar is potentially suicidal and their passive sonar sucks why isn't bottom lurking a viable tactic?

>>65388396
Right, but we're more interested in how cool it is, not how effective it'd be at fighting the entire USN fleet.

hitler was right about those 'people'
we should've continued his work in 1945
but instead, we rewarded them by handing over the entirety of poland, a country they helped to invade, and gave them an entire navy to rape the japs with, and spread communism all over east asia
now they shit up my favorite image board with endless seething and mental illness because one corrupt ex-soviet shithole thinks it's somehow better than the other
