Russia's ageing warship still packs a deadly punch - Kirov-class Battlecruiser
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 січ 2022
- The Kirov Class Battlecruiser remains the largest and heaviest surface combatant warship still operating in the world. The Kirov class guided missile cruiser has the official name as Project 1144 or Sea Eagle. It is a class of nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers that serve the Soviet and Russian navies since 1980. It was first constructed between 1974 and 1998, four units were complete in total. In 2021, one is still operated, the other two have been retired and another one is undergoing refurbishment. This ship was actually designed to either hunt American missile submarines, or protect Soviet nuclear bastions from U.S. and British attack boats.

"How many guns do you want on this ship?"
*Russia: "YES."*
All of it
how'd you find out!? i think that was their actual answer too
“Do you want to install nuclear reactor capable of powering ship fully?”
Russia: *NO*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@alexsandrkerensky7457 Those reactors are capable to powering ships fully. Those conventional boilers, aside their primary missions as backup, give temporary boost only for short time. You can not overload turbines for long time. It is more like NOX in cars.
@@tomascernak6112 fully including at flank and operate everything?
The boat looks like it's brand new still .
It’s an epic mix of old British dreadnoughts/battleships and modern American missile ships
@@anguswaterhouse9255 Huh?
@@anguswaterhouse9255 LMAO
Because it was modernized none stop with everything newest
@@anguswaterhouse9255 Say what
Don't see it as old , see it as a strong ship with muscle. You don't wanna mess with Kirov class battlecruiser.
Its Missile cruiser by classification, to be fair :P Or to be more clear - Heavy nuclear missile cruiser. Tho i'd also call it battlecruiser.
It looks strong, but I was part of 54 aircraft formation that flew within x thousand feet of their SAG "appropriate standoff" in the second half of the 80's and they didn't see us coming. And that was when they were newer. We were half way over the horizon before we started seeing their radars waking up.
@@davidthompson9359 Well, i cant say for 100% sure that they did not see you, maybe they did but paid no attention. But you must agree that since 80's the locators have been improved, so you cant be sure what detectors they might use there now.
But all our discussions are just a guessing i bet. Only actual combat actions will show what this thing is capable of :P
@@Alonesmither If he saw their radars "waking up", they did not see them.
Anyone in a western navy would be a fool to mess with this ship. It still packs a serious punch and all those gatling guns can do a good amount of damage at close range. It's a brilliant idea having swingout torpedo tubes to take care of submarine threats.
Even its old, I still see it as a modern warship. I mean, the design is beautiful, yet intimidating.
It's a fleet destroyer. It's sole purpose is to defend against american fleets by it self. Cheaper than building 20 ships to do the same thing. Genius really.
"Cheaper than building 20 ships to do the same thing." 🤔
Larges isn't always better
@@antr7493 yes it's better to build one that does it all rather than building many to do things one by one
@@prachurjyabarman Get real. You honestly think 1 Russian ship can handle 20 American warships ? I don't care that the Russians claim they can destroy an entire fleet with one ship. It's Russian hype BS as always. Like the over hyped of the Mig Foxbat. 20 ships can cover more area and fire from different locations. The Russian will be over whelmed with their "sophisticated" vacuum tube and slow microchip tech. 🤣
🤣 is that right? Every american destroyer carries upwards of 50 sam, so 20 x 50 is 1000 sams.
The kirov happens to carry 20 shipkilling missiles, so….. do the math
Kirov reporting.
Finnaly, correct coment.
I was looking for this comment
i love the design of Russian warships, very ww2 looking
This thing is closest to what we can call a modern Battleship !!!
To be fair the Kirov class battlecruiser's hull is originally desgined for battleship
It is still a threat. Consider this: the Russian navy tried to have it mothballed because they thought about replacing it with a new class of battlecruiser. The cost was so staggering that they axed the idea immediately and focused on restoring the remaining Kirov so it was fully functional and battle-ready.
@largol33t1 Yeah a threat that MAYBE launches a few missiles before it's sent to the bottom of the Atlantic or Pacific.
I found this warship very beautiful aside from it's lethality
Still looks badass till this day.
They are turning them into Hypersonic missile wagons
Yep. Zircon will do that.
in 2035
The Burke class doesn't have 122 VLS cells. That's the Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers that have 122. The Burkes only have 90(flight 1 & 2) or 96(flight 2a and 3)VLS cells.
(cries in Type 45 destroyer)
@@Richy0326 atleast they are finally giving the type 45s more missile capacity with the new upgrades so its not all that bad. Look on the bright side... Atleast the engines and air conditioning now work🤣
@@matthewconnors8503 at least they no longer shut down and become floating targets. Yes, that's a definite improvement :P
There are projects of mos
Modernization where 20 anti ship missles p-700 "Granit" will be changed to 80 "kalibr" missles both antiship and for attach ground targets. There will be also new SAM system and radars, this will be really powerful modern battlecruiser
Excuse me but Russia never built a warship that wasn't centered on anti shipping... I'm an ex Cold War US Navy destroyer vet and have always respected Russia's warships. They are brutilly powerful, but their Naval doctrine and lack of assets makes them liabilities. Sorry but the days of the big powerful warship going to sea alone to hunt and destroy the enemy ended in WW2...
so cool， so powerful！
Он невероятен, как проявления инженерной мысли и новшеств в то время.
Moskva to Kirov: I am waiting for you.
in your dreams.
Kirov isn’t even in the Black sea.
History tells us that a big ship impressive as it is, this without proper fleet support and protection is just a nice big target.
I would say that the Ship would be part of a Fleet, not sent out on it's own. No one sends warships out on their own anymore, way too dangerous. Cheers
@@BatMan-oe2gh Very true. Iowa’s survived because of that, not because of their 16” guns. Churchill, the squandering fool, sent two perfectly capable capital ships to their death in the hands of the Japanese off Singapore. Lessons learned, the hard way.
@@BatMan-oe2gh knowing Russia it will certainly be sent out all on its own, considering that how they send out their tanks on a constant basis.
Tbh i doubt any modern ship/fleet would survive unscathed when engaging a near peer state.
Plus modern ships are weak at taking hits, they may survive but those nice radars wont be doing their job after a hit.
And then if something survives... there are submarines to finish them off.
Aircraft carriers have made these type of ships redundant since WW2
I saw this video by accident. and I like it. Already subscribe
The kirov class is probably the only thing you get closest to the old giant battleship style warship
Does this really make sense in a time, where a single torpedo can literally sink any ship ?
Its more like suicide ship, launch everything to destroy American carrier group and die proud sinking to the bottom of ocean.
That is if the Sub can get through to it. Like the Americans, Russia sends it's ships out as a Fleet, not as a single unit. No value in that. Plus it is also a Sub hunter, so it will not be an easy target to hit. Someone on here stated that a Sub can sink an American Carrier. We all know that is false, as the Sub has to get through the destroyer protection first, and then have enough Torpedo's to actually sink a Carrier.
In that case, Do aircraft carriers make sense since they can be taken out by hypersonic missiles?
@@Kayzef2003 hopefully we will never find out. Conventional submarines have surfaced several times next to an US aircraft carrier in the past as well without prior detection. 🤷🏼♂️
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏🇺🇲
Thank you for sharing
NOW being upgraded with the navel version of pansit AIR 1 , S-300 AND ZIRCON 3M22 MISSILES this is now a real carrier killer
In the near Future the ships will receive S 400 missiles and have a Husky/Laika class sub escort!
The Russian Navy Soviet Built large Battle Cruiser warships scared the United States Navy that the United States Decided to Refurbished and modernised the Elder Iowa Battleships to counter the Kirovs.
Correction:Its not a Battleship ,its a battle cruiser
ok but it's bigger than the bismark, we just don't want the battleship term to die haha
@@theutgardianchannel1952Yeah man but these days small cruisers can destroy a heavily armed battleship.haha

You know in Iron Man 2 when Justin Hammer asked Rhodey which weapon he wants for War Machine and he answers "all of it" ? this is what he meant.
The red or Maroon color look really good for that Ship. Dang
"Kirov Airship, reporting"
That dual faced radar is damn cool. Put a cover on it like the Gowind's, then cooler. Can then serve as abler main radars on frigs corvettes. Economy in space, power compared to today's 4-fixed panels
You mislabeled the Kirov's VLS tubes. The rear VLS tubes are for the anti-ship missiles and the forward, more spaced out tubes are for the anti-air/missile defense missiles. The anti-air tubes are more spaced out because each tube has a carousel below it which (I think) holds 8 missiles.
Engineer - how mush fore power you want
Soviet - all of them
Its weaponry is extensive!
Moskva too. Bristling with weapons. The weapons had weapons lol
She’s a beauty!
A good analysis although their Battle Cruisers not BattleShips.
Russia ships is like promise to built 20 aircraft carrier then not even one built lol
I'm sure this single ship totally gives the US nightmeres lmao. Super click baity.
CORRECTION: The burke has 96 cells, Ticonderoga has 122. Also note that the Chinese Type 055 has 112 even though the ship is bigger that Burke/Ticonderoga because each of the cells are larger, allowing it to house bigger missiles. And keep in mind the radar on the RUS ship is no where near as advanced and capable as the other ships mentioned above.
It's strange that Russia has bad radars. The best air defenses in Russia have the worst radars. Any air defense is primarily radar technology. If Russia has the best air defenses, is it logical to assume that Russia has everything in order with radar technologies, and maybe 3 orders of magnitude better than the rest. But it is impossible to say for sure that Russia has the worst radar systems. If 7-ton rockets are installed on the ship, which fly at 600-700 km. Is it logical to assume that in order to launch such a missile, it is necessary to see an enemy target on the radar. If so, how can we say that the radar is bad if it sees stealth objects at distances of 600-700 km??? You probably confused Russia with Africa)))
The Chinese ship has less because of its circular missile cells in the vls the missile are only a few cm bigger and are the same length.
Size doesn’t matter anyway the giant Russian granit is meh while the sm 3 on the American ships are faster and are capable of intercepting ballistic missiles
thanks for that!
@@anguswaterhouse9255 circular? how?
@@luluapple1067 as in the missiles are held in circular tubes and are the exact size of the missile rather than one-size-fits all

talk about over kill....this thing is a beast designed to combat everything good thing there aren't many...if the Russians add like 20 of these to their Navy game over....three with that firepower can punch through almost any defense line...but I bet this thing cost a fortune to build and maintain
Dot dot dot.
The cost of maintenance and production is the entire reason why there will never be 20 of those. Modern Russia has no industrial capacity to produce that much in a reasonable time period, and the navy is by far not a priority for the russian military.
@@CoffTheBirb that seems to be case with mostly everything Russian made their aircraft weapons etc....but this powerful beast is beautiful
Moskva also "packed a deadly punch"
099 wit fully s500 and zircon😂😂 bye bye aircraft
What even is the purpose of having a defensive fleet in 21th century? Rocket and reconnaissance technologies advanced enough to be able to strike any enemy fleet from the safety of land.
Land defenses have their own weakness.
@@Professional_Warcriminal Ships have size and weight limits, their defence can be relatively easily overwhelmed by a swarm of missiles, they're impossible to conceal, etc. And just think how much they cost to design, build and operate.
Land batteries, on the other hand, can be hidden and protected (silos), don't have strict size limits and are much cheaper and numerous in comparison to ships. Oh, and they also don't require many sailors to operate.
In modern world ships have literally zero sense to build for countries that don't plan to attack anyone.
@@imaginarystranger1974 remember this ship was built in cold war era. The land terrain could also be a problem and as ya said missiles can overwhelm defenses. The ships main work is to prevent the enemy for getting too close to the shore.
Russian kiddos in the comments thinking their 50 year old ship will last longer than 5 min in a real world war scenario.
0:07 The real nightmare for the U.S. Navy are submarines, which can sneak into the aircraft carrier battle group and sink the carrier.
Nahh aircraft carrier had an group of warships and one sub that protect it so no problem at all.
Why the hell do they paint the deck red? It's like shouting to aerial reconnaissance "I'm here!"
Red wunz go faster.
A 250+ meter long ship is clearly visible, whatever the colour is. It can be detected by radar or sonar way out of visual range anyway. So why not paint it something not-boring?

It's like a warship designed by a ten year old video gamer. Many Russian warships are actually.
That is a awesome ship right there. To bad they don't have enough of them to make a difference. And that is why it wouldn't last to long in war time.
They were planning to make more
Yes it's a modern day Yamato, best in its class in the world but only in limited numbers.
twice: "too" instead of "to". But I agree. Fear the Chinese, which put hundreds of capable ships to sea.

@@pareshkalekar5823 The Yamato was worse than the Iowa class.
So two vs 60 plus or so Arleigh Burke Destroyers...
The idea of a nuclear powered cruiser is..... very confusing.
The arleigh burke only have 96vld cells the with the 122 vls cells are ticonderoga class cruisers
It would probably shake itself to bits if it fired its thingy's,
An informed opinion if there ever was one.
a new submarine.

No matter what people say or think about the russians, their technical inginuity was always a fearsome competent.
Old is vodka in Russia 😂😂
When will the US make a Battlecruiser class again I wonder what our version of the Kirov would be
wouldn't work because they won't be able to manage the money
@@Erik_077 makes sense
Wouldn't work because their doctrine and strategy are different. They only have the Ticonderoga-class as being close enough.
Good question I suggest it would have the propulsion of the closest equivalent to the Russian Kirov Cruiser the USS Long Beach Class nuclear Cruiser with the Hull shape of either Iowa Class Battleship or Alaska Class Battlecruiser. Then match the speed of Gerald Ford Class carriers
Big warship are for defence doctrine, since US is a offence in the military they rather build aircraft carrier
As usual with Soviet systems these days, even with upgrades, it’s more a danger on paper than it is on water. The smaller Moskva was also very dangerous on paper until it was sunk by almost obsolete shore to ship missiles. One problem with these vessels is that they’re too heavily weaponized. As with a number of other now sunken Russian missile ships, the armaments are too easily destroyed, taking the ship along with them.
*KIROV REPORTING*
Envejecido? Básicamente tiene 7 años más nuevo que los arleigh burk
If Russian ships are ageing what the fuck is happening to US ships. Destroyers and Cruisers are almost 40 years old, and Nimitz class carriers are well over 47 years old.
So?? They are much well maintained and it isnt about their age, but rather the obsolete systems that are used in the ship......from the radar to many more
Also with this many weapons on a ship, its literally a nightmare for maintaining it
@@pranavdinesh5167 No, you cant see almost any rusi on Russian ships, while you can see rust on US ships. US ships are not really lightly armed.
@@milosmilictrob2046 lol rust doesnt mean bad bad.....of course RUST isnt good, but rust outside on the hull is not new, its happens to many ships....also, NIMITZ classes are being replaced though they are without a doubt the best....also, no offence but this ship wont last 10 minutes in a war....the volleys of LRASM and harpoons on F18 will make quick work of this ship
@@pranavdinesh5167 Problem comes when you look inside the ship and you see rust, when Russians are modernizing their ships they basically strip of all old plates and add new ones, making a new ship with an old one. Bold of you to assume that Nimitz will last longer than 5 minutes, its large and slow, taking out single ship is enough to cripple entire US fleet, let alone 3-4. Kirov will always be protected by other ships even tho it was made to operate alone. Harpoon is slow, it can be detected and intercepted with relative ease so is LRASM (both have a cruise speed of around 800kph) Kalibr isnt slow, also we are talking about large aircraft carrying these missiles, they can be intercepted and shot down with relative ease, almost all ships have a EWR able to detect missiles at greater ranges but only a few can intercept them at range.
Nimitz are old i would say than G. R. Ford, Russian Project 23000E and Q.E. class are all better than Nimitz class.
couple of destroyers cannot save a carrier, that is just plain simple, one P-800 is enough to cripple or even disable a carrier, now image a salvo of 15-20 of these can do against a single carrier group, and they arent slow either, given that Russia has thousands of missiles (old and new) that can sink an carrier i dont think they will have any problems in doing that.
A pity about the biased headline. This ship is much younger than the average of US navy warships.
As with the Slava class ie the Moskva that was sunk in the black sea, the ability to damage control is lacking. A single missile will cause catastrophic fires.
ya that's because their missile defense system on their ships isn't, layered or anything close to the American ships. Basically it only has missile that are meant for aircraft.
Why hello there
Kirov is more of a Dreadnought
*Ali Burke 125 cells? 🤣*
All those guns.... wonder how many bathrooms they got rid of
This thing would not last more than a few minutes in an air strike , Antiquated at best lol 😂
That's what they said about ww2 era battleships and yet the best of them took more than mere airstrikes to bring down. In one case it was the own crew of the ship that ended it so no. The ship in this video, which has more AA capability than a US aircraft carrier and more AS capabilities than a battleship would easily last more than a minute against an air attack. Hell, it would wipe out an entire carrier wing if given the opportunity to do so. The main threat to this ship would not be from the air but from a submarine as is the case with virtually all ships in existence.
@@devvytm Lmao World War II ship were built withover 12 to 14 inches of armor
and were meant to take enemy cannon fire. By the time that ship was built war doctrine was completely changed and armor was traded for anti-aircraft guns and Anti-ship missiles , A US carrier with vaporizes thing , much like Putin’s dreams of taking Ukraine lol
Deadliest but not for used in Mars
For Joey and MJ, Katxhiri, Hiro, Mallory, Angela and all her Russian ballerina acquaintances
what would happen in a theoretical naval battle where one of these was sunk? would it just leak radiation like crazy from the bottom of the ocean?
Probably not most nuclear ships have counter measures where the reactor immediately shuts down when water is detected
How many tugs does it require???🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Joking aside as they are a bloody good looking ship.
There are only 3? It also does not carry enough missiles to saturate a us /NATO carrier group so I'm not sure what it's actually ment to accomplish nowadays.
One ship, perhaps not but when you consider there are multiple and that it would likely be sent in alongside other ships with similar weaponry, it stands to reason that it could very well tip the balance in a short battle. Keep in mind that even their carrier (as ancient as it might seem) is really just a cruiser with a flight deck on top and as a result can launch missiles just as the kirov class can.
The Kirov cruiser Peter the Great is Operations around and had fired her cruise Missiles against Syria 🇸🇾 Rebel groups.

2:25 How do you get to 1000 miles range? Shouldn't it have infinite range?
Or do you mean by day, but in this case at 32 knots it should have a maximum range of 768 nautical miles?
@@quazar5017 There is some misconception. Its propulsion is combined nuclear and steam boilers. So at full speed (which is even higher than 32 knots) or without reactors (at 17 knots) fuel reserves are only for cca 1000 nm. Of course at cca 30 knots, its range is limited only by maintenance requimerents and crew food.
Nice looking boat. If only Russia had a capable navy. Russia’s defense spending budget is ~9% of the United States’.
Really is that why weak usa fight with Russia with bold fake daily words at briefings and sanctions only😂😃😆By the way how that feels when Taliban give 13 days to losers USA to run away from Afghanistan and leave western tech LOL
That is true, but Russia’s purchasing power parity makes them able to do a lot more in their country for a lot cheaper. Also while their navy is the weakest part of their armed forces, they’ve switched their naval doctrine since the end of the Cold War - and realised that they don’t have a need for massive ships, so have instead been focusing on producing new frigates/corvettes such as the Gorshkov and Steregushchiy class (although there are still some issues with the production of these ships such as the German engines being subject to embargoes, and the slow rate of production in Russian dockyards) Also keep in mind that Russian submarines are very good, and would be the main threat in any future naval war.
Russia’s economy is smaller even than California’s. Of course their budget is smaller than the US’s.

Any ship that gets within 388 miles of it and can't shoot down a 40 year old missile, I guess. Against the US in a hot war, a CV group would send wave after wave after wave of F-18s to shoot anti-ship missiles from under the radar horizon while the world's best subs hunt it from below.

@@vall3105 I was specifically responding to a comment that said 'in a 1v1 yeah'. I realize this ship would not be alone....neither would the other side. There is no way a US carrier battle group gets within 400 miles of this ship in wartime so those missiles are worthless against a US CBG. At 800 miles it would have to start dodging US anti-ship missiles. Yes, it would take a lot of Harpoons or NSMs to take it down but a CV has at least 48 F-18s that can carry 4 comfortably, maybe even 6 at a time.
