Why hasn t the Kyiv aircraft carrier been repaired and used

As a deformed battleship under the Soviet political system, the Kiev is no longer suitable for modern combat, even if it is repaired, there is no suitable vertical take-off and landing fighter, it is better to stay in Tianjin for tourism, but there is still considerable combat effectiveness after the repair of the Wama, but it will not have a relatively powerful arsenal like the library ship, in short, I look forward to the Wama!

The Kiev aircraft carrier has a total length of 273 meters, a total width of 53 meters, a draft of meters, a displacement of 43,000 tons, 4 turbine groups, 200,000 horsepower, and a speed of 32 knots (1 knot = 1 nautical mile hour). It belongs to the typical Soviet aircraft carrier arrangement. The Kyiv aircraft carrier carries 12 Yak-38A Blacksmith fighters, one Yak-38B Blacksmith fighter, 19 Ka-27 Snail anti-submarine ***, 3 Ka-25 Hormone ***.

The Kyiv-class aircraft carrier is armed with 8 SS-N-12 anti-submarine missile launchers, 10 533-mm torpedo tubes, 2 pairs of SA-N-3B anti-aircraft missile launchers, 4 SA-N-4 anti-aircraft missile launchers, 4 SA-N-9 anti-aircraft missile six-mounted vertical launchers, one SUW-N-1 anti-submarine missile double-arm launcher, 2 twin 76-mm guns, 8 30-mm six-barreled cannons, 2 RBU 1200 twelve-barrel rockets, etc. Due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the "Kiev" was decommissioned early in 1994, and in 2000, the "Kiev" was auctioned as scrap metal. As for the fate of the "Kiev", there is a sigh in Russia.

In August 2000, among nine buyers, including the United States and India, the Chinese side successfully bid for the Kiev to be towed to Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. to restore its original appearance, transforming it from a military wreckage into a peaceful and ecological public paradise. Now in Tianjin International Amusement Port.

To tell the truth, after the refit, in the face of modern warfare, there is not much meaning, the equipment is very backward in all aspects, the Waglian is now being refitted in Dalian, and in the near future, everyone will see that our country's first aircraft carrier will be incorporated into the Navy!

Why is it not repaired, the Kyiv heavy aircraft carrier, with a displacement of 57,000 tons and a full load displacement of 65,000 tons, has been towed to the Dalian shipyard and is being loaded with the most advanced equipment, and I believe that in the near future, it will also become a member of our navy.

It's outdated, and if it's repaired, it's not suitable for the war of today.

The "Kiev" aircraft carrier is the first of the Kiev-class aircraft carriers and is the flagship of the Pacific Fleet of the former Soviet Union. The aircraft carrier "Kiev" is 274 meters long and 32.6 meters wide, and its area is equivalent to three football fields: the flight deck is 195 meters long and 53 meters wide, and the total area is larger than the area of Moscow's Red Square.

The "Kiev" aircraft carrier uses a large number of high technologies. ** The equipment is extremely powerful, in addition to being equipped with various missiles, it also carries 34 aircraft, which can not only carry out air combat but also undertake a variety of tasks such as anti-submarine, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance. The aircraft carrier "Kiev" is an aircraft carrier and a cruiser, and its threatening power is equivalent to that of a task force.

The aircraft carrier "Kiev" was commissioned in 1975 and decommissioned in 1993.
