new aircraft carrier to make russia powerfull

Have Russia ever fielded a nuclear powered flat top carrier ???
No, they had plans for it during the Soviet days prior to its collapse.

Ulyanovsk (Cyrillic: Улья́новск) was the first of a class of never completed Soviet nuclear-powered supercarriers. The hull was laid down in 1988, but the project was cancelled at 40% complete along with a sister ship in 1991. Scrapping began on 4 February 1992.

Displacement: 60,000 tons empty, 79,758 tons full load.
Propulsion: 4 × KN-3 nuclear reactors + 4 × steam turbines, four shafts, 280,000 shp
Planned airgroup (70 aircraft):
24 Sukhoi Su-33 (Su-27K) Fighters
24 Mikoyan MiG-29K Fighters
4 Yakovlev Yak-44 RLD Airborne early warning aircraft
16 Kamov Ka-27 Anti-submarine helicopters
2 Ka-27PS Search and rescue helicopters
 
Russia on 30 June 2011, the head of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation said his company expected to begin design work for a new carrier in 2016, with a goal of beginning construction in 2018 and having the carrier achieve initial operational capability by 2023. Several months later, on 3 November 2011 the Russian newspaper Izvestiya reported that the naval building plan now included (first) the construction of a new shipyard capable of building large hull ships, after which Moscow will build two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers by 2027. The spokesperson said one carrier would be assigned to the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet at Murmansk, and the second would be stationed with the Pacific Fleet at Vladivostok.
 
They will first want to learn from building the French designed Mistral platforms in Russia, then move to new carrier construction.

Construction of the Mistral ships would start sometime after 2015 and would be a joint effort with the French. The third and fourth ships will be constructed in St. Petersburg. Russia plans to build new shipyards on Kotlin Island near St. Petersburg. These will be used to construct Mistral-class ships and other large civil and military vessels in the future.

I thought the Russian is ditching Su-33 in favour of Mig-29K. Are they planning to re-open the Su-33 production line for this new carrier project?
 
Su 33 was old even in 2000, no question of restarting such an old fighter program....................It will be the Naval T-50 most probably if the Carrier completion is by 2027

Su-33 would require modernization. However, modern equipped Mig29K was readily available since developed for IN for Vikramaditya and follow on new IN ships. So it was more cost effective to buy new Mig29Ks (increasing the production run, thus allowing development cost to be spread over a greater number of airframes and lowering unit cost) rather than to upgrade the Su-33s (which would have been limited in airframe life expectancy). Not that it would have been very difficult to come up with an upgrade for Su-33, given wha'ts out there already in terms of other member of the Su-27/30/35 family.
 
India will not get any more than 3 aircraft carriers i believe.
 
Gentlemen, the level of this discussion is so low that I don´t even want to begin to discuss it.
Stick to TOPIC, puh-lease!

Mods, please delete post # 40 through 54.
 
lolololol this is as unrealistic as they come

50,000 Tonns , 80 planes, and it has to carry s-500 system??

highly, highly unlikely to say the least

Remember, that 50k may be empty load or m3.

Project 1143.7 Ulyanovsk (of which construction actually started)
Displacement: 60,000 tons empty and 79,758 tons full load
Group "Ulyanovsk" was to include 70 aircraft.
It was planned following composition:
24 Sukhoi Su-33 (Su-27K) Fighters
24 Mikoyan MiG-29K Fighters
4 Yakovlev Yak-44 RLD Airborne early warning aircraft
16 Kamov Ka-27 Anti-submarine helicopters
2 Ka-27PS Search and rescue helicopters

Next,
replace those big Su-33 with and equal number of smaller Mig-29Ks (48)
have AEW performed by 4x Ka-31 rather than 4x Yak 44 (4)
I'm sure you can now squeeze in some more Mig 29K

Also
Project 1153 OREL (Cyrillic: Орёл) was a 1970s-era Soviet program to give the Soviet Navy a true blue water aviation capability. The ship would have been about 75-80,000 tons displacement, with a nuclear power plant and carried about 70 aircraft launched via steam catapults. It was designed with a large offensive capability with the ship mounts including 24 vertical launch tubes for anti-ship cruise missiles.[1] It was cancelled as being too expensive and a reduced version of 60,000 tons and fifty aircraft was proposed. This was also turned down for cost reasons.
OREL would have resulted in a program very similar to the aircraft carriers available to the U.S. Navy. While the project never saw fruition, it later resulted in the abortive Ulyanovsk program.

If S-500 missiles are in the size of no more than 9m96e2, then why not.
 
5 trillion would not be enough to afford 7 CBGs. 3-4 would be a more realistic number.

But I do agree that by around 2040 India will have around 7 or so CBGs as it would have the money to be able to afford them by them and would even be able to construct 100,000 tonne CVNs in the 2030s domestically if it wanted to.

Very correct

India will have 2 CBGs ,3 ACs,4-5 LHDs at max by 2025 I Think.

On Topic> This Russian ACs will have displacement surely above 70,000 tons.

A 50,000 ton AC cant have 80 aircrafts.

OR as Penguin Sir has pointed out it is empty weight of AC.
