Russia is moving ahead with plans to develop a new aircraft carrier | Business Insider India
In spite of sanctions over Russia's annexation of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine, Moscow has continued to push ahead with plans to upgrade and modernize its military. As part of this effort, Russia is planning to add a second aircraft carrier to its navy.
The new aircraft carrier, known as Project 23000E or Shtorm, is still in a very preliminary phase.
But the project has now proceeded far enough along that a scale model of the heavy carrier will be displayed at the International Maritime Defence Show in St. Petersburg from July 1 to 5, IHS Jane's 360 reports.
"The Project 23000E multipurpose aircraft carrier is designed to conduct operations in remote and oceanic areas, engage land-based and sea-borne enemy targets, ensure the operational stability of naval forces, protect landing troops, and provide the anti-aircraft defence," Valery Polyakov, the deputy director of Russia's Krylovsky Research Center, the group behind the design of Shtorm, told Jane's.
