    American aircraft carrier: 40 dudes in multicoloured shirts on deck waving their arms around.
    Russian aircraft carrier: 1 Dude in a black jacket who leaves the deck 30 seconds before launch. I love the contrast.

      You can see here that the pilot waits for the ship to pitch down so that it is pitching back up by the time they reach the end of the ramp, it's not entirely necessary unless you are in bad weather, but on the old WW2 carriers it was mandatory - if you reached the end of the ship at the wrong time you would be straight in the drink.

    That, is a designed standard takeoff. There is nothing short, or long.
    Update comments:
    My view:- if the length of runway required for a take off is to be measured, there should not be any assistance made for the aircraft concerned.
    The clip shows that the main landing gears of the MiG have stoppers raised up to the second the jets are in full throttle with their afterburners on.
    When the stoppers dropped, the MiG dashes towards a ski-jump ramp to raise it's angle of attack.
    If any short or long is to be ascribed to the takeoff, it can only refer to the designed mechanism and not the aircraft.
    The MiG takeoff cannot be any longer or shorter.
    Nothing more from me, case closed.

      I don't see any load on that plane. I don't believe that they take off fully loaded. A catapult launch system is needed to take off fully loaded, and neither the Russians nor the Chinese have it. I hear that the Chinese may be working on the new EMALS (Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System) which the US Navy is also developing. The EMALS will be better than the steam catapults (cheaper, safer, more flexible) but right now the US system is TOO POWERFUL, over stressing the aircraft. Refinements are needed, so it is almost two years from operational status. The British will use EMALS on their second new carrier; the first carrier, the Queen Elizabeth, will use the F-35B STOVL (Marine) version of the F-35, which has short takeoff capability designed into the aircraft. The MiGs do not have short takeoff built into them -- a short takeoff version was dropped from production. The EMALS will probably be sold to India for their future carriers, when it is fully developed.

According to Wikipedia, the MiG-29K is designed to defend the fleet, not to penetrate or attack ground targets. It can't take off with bombs and fuel tanks without a catapult. The more I learn about catapults, they are very big and very expensive. Britain's next carrier, the Queen Elizabeth, would have been too expensive with catapults. By using the F-35B STOVL aircraft, they don't need catapults. The Russians don't have any such STOVL in their inventory or planned. So, Nick, that's a very light weapon load intended for fleet defense only.

      The difference here is that Russia doesn't need a carrier so they don't really care. Their only carrier is loaded full of weapons to be still useful, because they don't need the force projection it provides: Russia has landing strips everywhere from Europe's doorstep to Asia, and they don't need to project their power to the US.

  • @53glowe
    @53glowe 3 роки тому +23

    Just made it with full afterburner and carrier pointing into the wind. The limitations of ramp based non catapult launches are that the aircraft cannot carrier a full fuel and weapons load on takeoff. This dramatically limits combat radius and force projection that the carrier is primarily designed for. Consequently the carrier must go deeper into the combat zone and place itself at considerable risk if it's aircraft are to be effective. This is a significant tactical limitation of this carrier design😐

    • @MikoyanGurevichMiG21
      @MikoyanGurevichMiG21 Рік тому +2

      Actually these carriers aren't built for power projection. Those aircraft are mainly for fleet defence and follow a different doctrine to that of the US. Even the UK learnt this the hard way around in the Falklands War with the Hermes being a desperate defence against Argentine air attacks. But you're still right in a way. Even the staunchest supporters of non catapult carriers- Russia, China, and India have switched to CATOBAR in all their future and upcoming carrier projects and the rest like the UK and Italy have switched to using the STOVL F-35B to compensate for a smaller deck size.
