US spend less time making anti missile weapons than the russians, they also spend less time making missiles than the russians.

When Phalanx CIWS was introduced in 1980 it was inferior in every way to the older AK630 CIWS.

US ships still carry very little anti missile weapons compared to russian fleets, and the missile threats the US face is much more dangerous than what the Russian fleets face.

SM-6.

And this picture is before THIS (and new Block of SM-3`s) :

''On 24 October 2014, Raytheon announced that two SM-6 missiles intercepted anti-ship and cruise missile targets during "engage on remote" scenarios. A low-altitude, short-range supersonic GQM-163A and a low-altitude, medium-range subsonic BQM-74E were shot down by SM-6s fired from a guided-missile cruiser using targeting information provided by a guided-missile destroyer. Advanced warning and cueing from other ships allows the missile's over-the-horizon capability to be more greatly utilized so a single ship is able defend a larger area''

http://news.usni.org/2015/01/26/raytheon-new-standard-missile-6-approved-older-navy-combat-systems

''The SM-6 offers extended range over previous SM-2 series missiles, primarily being able to intercept very high altitude or sea-skimming anti-ship missiles; the missile is also slated to perform terminal phase ballistic missile defense. It can discriminate targets using its dual-mode seeker, with the semi-active seeker relying on a ship-based illuminator to highlight the target, and the active seeker having the missile itself send out an electromagnetic signal; the active seeker has the ability to detect a land-based cruise missile amid ground features, even from behind a mountain. The multi-mission SM-6 is engineered with the aerodynamics of an SM-2, the propulsion booster stack of the SM-3, and the front end configuration of the AMRAAM''

This is 100% false. The SM missile series came about in 1967, and the Ageis combat system, a naval dedicated anti missile system (the first of its kind) came about in 1973.

>When Phalanx CIWS was introduced in 1980 it was inferior in every way to the older AK630 CIWS

Thats because the US had the standard missile series and aegis by that time. The CIWS was not meant to be a primary anti missle system, it was meant to be a last ditch effort against all threats.

To that end, it was meant to be lightweight and small, so it would not get in the way of other systems.

>US ships still carry very little anti missile weapons compared to russian fleets

This is asinine, when you 1) compare fleet sizes, and 2) compare capabilities of the ships in question.

>>
>>30594531

The CWIS is not bad, its just a smaller 20mm system because the USN decided that it was the least consequential system in the engagement chain.

For example, the CWIS weighs 7,000 pounds less WITH RADAR, than the 630 system which does not have an integrated radar, and relys on offboard sensors.

Which again shows the CWIS's advantage, it is completely autonomous. The AK-630 needs off board radar to work, the CWIS does not.

Thats also not true, the Kirov has solely SA-N-6 or a mix between the aforementioned and SA-N-20 depending on the ship (well, depending on all two of them)...S-300 is an acceptable shorthand term imo.

>Also, why do American SAM's speeds suck so much ass?

SM-3 goes mach 10. SM-6 goes mach 3.5, seems pretty reasonable.

It does not matter if the guns range is so short (for both systems)

>Is and anti-ballistic missile.

So is the SA-N-20.

>Not when you compare it to 48N6 for the aforementioned SA-N-20 introduced 26 years ago.

For low altitude work? Nothing is going faster than mach 3 near sea level, so the speed is essentially wasted.

The SM-6 also has twice to four times the max range as the SA-N-20.
>>
>>30594833

Unknown, but again its a CIWS, so it does not have to be super powerful.
>>
>>30594860
Yes it is. It has SA-N-20. The picture does not show it.
>So is the SA-N-20.
No, it is not. It is a SAM with limited anti-ballistic capability, while SM-3 is a dedicated high-altitude anti-ballistic missile.
>Nothing is going faster than mach 3 near sea level
Except for missiles. But the point is not sea level, the point is that higher speed allows a missile to intercept an aircraft faster with higher success probability.
>>
>>30587687
This bullshit again.

>>30594976

Brahmos goes mach 3, nothing else is currently faster.

Yes.

No.

To show you the difference, the S-300FM missile goes 150 km. It will take the missile 2 minutes to get there. The SM-6, will take a grand total of 90 seconds more to get there...then be able to fly 2 to 4 times farther.

Keep in mind you are also launching far before before the vampire reaches the missiles max range.

Did anyone read this?

Basically this is saying "we had no remotely potent anti ship missile so now we made this one which is good."

It also says "They could just focus on our carriers which is bad"

From that article we can conclude that until recently they had dog shit for missiles, and focusing down a carrier was the completely expected result which would render a fleet toothless.
And the SM-6, which is suppose to be the saving grace of the US navy, has only a bit more than 200 produced, hardly enough to even come close to replacing the older weapons.
>>
>>30595223

The article does ignore the SM-2 block IIIB, which has the same capability at less range, which is the only SM-2 variant the USN fields and has been around since forever.

>the only problem is that its trajectory is semi ballistic, while the SM-6 can be programed to do whatever you want.

Realistically, the US planed and does plan to use Air launched harpoons, which is plenty good, and by god they have a gorillion of them.

For near future, the LRASM is going on line, which is god tier.

There are active and former SUW USNfags that browse and post here. I've met three at regional meets/nuggetfest. Their unconcern about this question tells me everything I need to know.

The simple fact of the matter is Russia's and China's kill chains are far too long. There are far too many tactical options for the CSG/ESG/SAG to disguise and spoof their location for a terminal weapons track, plus the fact that the most effective anti-missile systems in the CSG are the ones no one talks about: the massive and very secret EW capabilities of Ticos and Burkes. As a bubblehead, I don't know much about these. In fact, most folks that live and work on Ticos and Burkes don't even know much about this capability set. But it's there, and it's very, very mean.

The simple fact is that supersonic missiles are inferior to subsonic in every way except for the final leg of the mission. If you still want to fall for the meme that supersonic is the best, then it should tell you everything about how shit tier the Soviet Navy was that NO ONE bothered to build supersonic AShMs against them and everyone instead used subsonics when the technology for supersonics was around for decades.

Buyan only has 3M47 Igla variants.
>total of 1,512 cells maximum for medium-long ranged SAMs

So, to sum up:
>the USN has a maximum 8,636 medium to long range VLS SAM cells available (with ground/AShM attack loads, say about 6,000 left for SAM/CSG escort and protection)
>the Russian Navy has a grand total of 1,512 cells maximum for medium-long ranged SAMs
Keep in mind these further points:
All USN ships listed have extensive rotary wing aviation facilities for LAMPS III choppers - an extra sensor node if nothing else (including the unlisted LCS types). Many of the Russian classes lack aviation facilities.
All USN cells are universal. Almost none of the Russian SAM VLS cells are universal, and would require specialized logistical consideration by type in the event of conflict.

Yes. EW capability across the board may be the most closely guarded equipment capability secret in the US military. Maybe even more so than all-aspect VLO aircraft RCS numbers or USN SSN/SSGN/SSBN sonar hardware/processing capabilities or noise radiation profiles.

With a full picture of EW capabilities and radar radiation profiles, an opponent can gameplan against them in all phases of an engagement, given enough planning lead time. This is one of the many reasons why the US was so successful with so few losses against the Iraqis in 1991.

This is the reason EW testing grounds/exercises are one of the most closely guarded areas for the US military, and why the USN SSNs spend so much of their time sucking up trons close to coastlines and following deployed foreign ships.

This is only going to get worse for Russia in the near future. They're currently only building relatively small surface combatants. The haven't laid the keel on a SUW ship larger than a frigate since 1989. Meanwhile, the US has the Flight IIA Burke restarts scheduled for two commissioned a year with three currently building, and will be building into Flight III for the forseeable future at a rate of two per year. Plus the Zumwalts. This isn't even including all the other shit the USN is building that Russia either isn't or is building 6 times as slow.
>>
>>30596930
Sorry, make that 7 total Flight IIA restarts or Flight IIA Tech Insert Burkes building currently. 3 launched, 4 keel laid. That's about 70,000 tons SUW displacement to be commissioned over the next 4 years alone. Well over 100,000 including the Zumwalts. This is nearly as much tonnage as Russia's entire compliment of commissioned destroyers, and all of it more modern and more capable in nearly every way.

This means less than nothing when the missile range is too short for the launch platform to achieve a high pK launch point. Launching from max range (which is most of the time still well inside SM-6 range and AWACS detection radius) and having no fuel left over for terminal is not a winning strategy. Not to mention the inability to get datalinked sensor platforms on site for terminal guidance.

That was not the original assertion. The original assertion I was responding to was:>>30594269

Read the thread. However, even if we compare AShMs, it does not look good pure numbers wise for the Russian Navy, as the USN gets to add the Carrier Air Wing to that equation as well. And the Russian navy STILL has a pitifully small number of launchers.

>Only corvettes and a couple of old frigates.
Take a good look at the size and capability of the aviation facilities across the board. Which of them outside the Kirov have the same size and capacity as a Flight II Burke?

>Non-issue. In the event of conflict VLS on USN ships won't be just stuffed with whatever lies around either.

I love how you think if you keep repeating this, it'll be absolutely true. Instead of a complicated tradeoff between maximum range, VLO properties, flight profiles, autonomous threat response and missile energy.

>Like every single one that carries Ka-27.
So, they carry a single helicopter with less range, speed, payload and advanced systems than a LAMPS III seahawk. As opposed to the Flight II Burkes, which carry TWO seahawks apiece? Sure.

>Project 11711
Landing ship, not SUW as specified >>30596930. Also does not carry medium-long range SAMS.

Ha! What bullshit. I guess we completely ignore EW factors, reliance on remote terminal guidance for good pK, autonomous response to pop-up threats, VLO properties and sensor quality. Because none of these things affect pK or intercept probabilities at all, right? Read a fucking book, man.

You should read up on the SM-3.

>That was right after he back-pedalled from "Many of the Russian classes lack aviation facilities"

It also has horrific accuracy and has a small nuclear warhead. The DF-21 doesn't even have a nuclear warhead. The Chinese have no hope of hitting a moving a carrier with straight kinematics.

What I meant to say was that the DF-21 can't be used with a nuclear warhead against USA because that would signal that China is willing to do nuclear attacks against USA, which is bad news for China.

How come when discussing a naval conflict with the USN some people seem to think the US would just sit back and allow the enemy to just attack and do nothing about it?

I would think that if someone took a shot at a USN carrier, dozens of USN attack subs would quietly start showing up near the enemy ships and coastlines.
>>
>>30599590
Russiaboos tend to forget that USN doctrine makes the SSN/SSGNs and the carrier air wing the primary striking arm of the Navy, as opposed to Soviet/Russian doctrine of loading down surface combatant with as many big ass missiles as possible.

Then they scream bloody murder about "different doctrine" when you point out how weak their air force is.

These discussions are not an honest exploration of doctrine, tactics and available hardware. They're little more than idiotic dickwaving. That goes for the Burgers, too.

272-192=80. Steregushchy (I am going to assume that you didn't take your time to see that the first shit is not equipped with Redut) are four corvettes with 12 Redut cells each for a total of 48 Redut cells (in reality 36, no Redut on the lead ship). Admiral Gorshkov has 32 Redut cells. That is a total of 48+32=80. Wow! How did that happen? It's almost like I just proved your math "skills" are below elementary school level. Fucking retard.
>Yet you keep mentioning subs as if they were SUW ships
No, I keep mentioning subs as they both carry anti-ship missiles and were build after 1989.
>your following point was a goalpost-shifting
Not really, I was directly saying that initial point is shit because the USN only operates subsonic petards instead of actual AShMs so no excessive quantities of air-defence is really required to defend from it.
>Many of the ships listed do lack aviation facilities, like all the corvettes

Are you high right now? First you give the ferry range for the Ka-27 but the nominal combat range for the SH-60 (ferry range is 2,220km for that, by the way). The fucking combat radius for the SH-60 is 592km for crying out loud. Then you give completely nonsensical load numbers. The max slung load rating for the SH-60 is 4,100kg. The max load you gave for the Ka-27 appears to be the max load for the Ka-32, which is not the armed utility chopper deployed on their ships.

But they just want to believe everyone else will be as impotent as them in projecting power.

Without aircraft carriers, amphibious attacks are basically impossible, as is operating against any country you don't have a willing ally bordered next to. There's no reason to think they'll go away. It's like saying Tanks are obsolete because of anti-tank missiles - you take away tanks and defences become incredibly difficult for infantry to overcome. You need frontline direct artillery fire - a tank.

Yes it was, retard. It was specifically referred to that part where you said that "The haven't laid the keel on a SUW ship larger than a frigate since 1989". You can squeal about "muh surface warfare" all you want, it doesn't change the fact that Russia did built submarines with the displacement of cruisers and battlecruisers, as well as a large landing ship and halves of their Mistrals.
>This has absolutely nothing to do with the statement being answered

Steregushchy were not listed, they do have aviation facilities. You didn't answer the question. How many corvettes are there in the world with the displacement of Buyan, Tarantul or Grisha that can carry helicopters? Gepard is the size of the corvettes that do, but it is old and the new Gepards for Vietnam do carry helicopters. Steregushchy class is the size of the corvettes that do and it does carry a helicopter.

Then you are also that retarded, because your numbers were exactly the same.

>Yes it was, retard. It was specifically referred to that part where you said that "The haven't laid the keel on a SUW ship larger than a frigate since 1989". You can squeal about "muh surface warfare" all you want, it doesn't change the fact that Russia did built submarines with the displacement of cruisers and battlecruisers, as well as a large landing ship and halves of their Mistrals.
Submarines are pretty much the definition of "not surface warfare". If you're counting a fucking "large" 6,000 ton landing ship as a SUW ship, your navy is pretty spectacularly awful. But fine. Count them. Seriously, go ahead. Now compare your 4 subs and one shitty landing ship to

all over 6,000 tons, all laid down since 1989, which was the last time Russia managed to lay down a serious surface combatant destroyer sized or larger. Think about that. In 27 years, the only things larger than a Frigate the Russian navy has managed to lay down has been two excruciatingly slowly built sub classes, a single landing ship and some icebreakers.

>Steregushchy were not listed, they do have aviation facilities. You didn't answer the question. How many corvettes are there in the world with the displacement of Buyan, Tarantul or Grisha that can carry helicopters? Gepard is the size of the corvettes that do, but it is old and the new Gepards for Vietnam do carry helicopters. Steregushchy class is the size of the corvettes that do and it does carry a helicopter.
See? More unrelated bullshit to distract from the actual point.

It does not make them any smaller or older. They are fuckhuge and they were and are being build after 1989 contrary to your pitiful attempt to imply Russia can't build anything larger than a frigate since than.

Let me repeat. How many of those ships have aviation facilities as extensive as the Ticos or most of the Burkes? Oh, that's right. Just the Kirov class and arguably the Udaloys.

Then what is your point? Seriously. You claim the Russian Navy is in any way a match for the USN with your "muh superdupersonic AShMs" yet you concede the simple fact that the USN has laid the keel on double the total commissioned tonnage of the entire Russian navy since 1989, a navy over 2/3 of which features ships which are older than most of the posters on 4chan.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

>They are fuckhuge
I love how this is a point of pride for slavaboos. Can't think about how loud they are or how good their sonars are, oh no. Let's talk about how big they are.

Also, the limiting factor for building surface warships of large displacement has to do with beam and total height. Subs are almost exclusively constructed indoors these days for security and because they are notably small in these two dimensions. You can't build a fucking destroyer indoors unless you're building the modules inside and assembling it outside.
>>
>>30601485
>The point is that contrary to your pitiful attempt to imply Russia can't build anything larger than a frigate since 1989, it can.
Then why hasn't it? Seriously. One good fucking reason why they haven't laid down a single destroyer, cruiser, battlecruiser, helicopter carrier, fleet carrier, supercarrier, LHD/LHA or LPD since the fucking Michael Keaton/Tim Burton Batman was in theatres.

No, they aren't dipshit. Those were only the first half dozen modules just before they moved it outside next to the Monsoor, pic related. You'll notice that's only half the ship in your pic and no room above it to finish the superstructure or mast.

Because their country collapsed and they didn't have money for that during 90s. By the time their economy was somewhat afloat their navy started to age. Right now they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do - funding the replacement of aging ships in service with smaller modern ones with equivalent combat capabilities, building submarines and developing a modern destroyer project. Were they doing it vice-versa, whey would right now remain without most of the modern ships they've built with bankrupt shipyards but with a finished R&D on a new destroyer. Use your loaf and think which variant is better.

And, what? You think they're not building a destroyer right now is because they don't have the money? Really? It has nothing to do with all the brain drain, facilities degradation, and skilled labor retirement/emigration? Right.

>>30601670

The Russians don't have the capability to build ships like this yet anon.

In fact that's part of the reason they bought the Mistral. To better learn how all that shit works.

They are constructed indoors and then assembled outside, including superstructures and masts. What was your point again? That they what, can't put a superstructure on a ship or what?

That's why no one puts superstructures on ships inside.

That's how they constructed their halves of Mistrals. That's how they construct submarines.
>For the boat production, Rubin and PO «Sevmash» (Severodvinsk) introduced an innovative aggregate-and-modular method of construction. Subsequently it was widely adopted in shipbuilding.

No, dumbass. First their country collapsed and they didn't have money for that during 90s. Then as their economy was somewhat afloat their navy started to age. So they were funding the replacement of aging ships in service with smaller modern ones with equivalent combat capabilities, building submarines and developing a modern destroyer project. Not for 27 years, but since the time they could afford it.

They didn't "simply chose not to", they didn't have money to. Like I said, if they doing it vice-versa, whey would right now remain without most of the modern ships they've built with bankrupt shipyards but with a finished R&D on a new destroyer. Use your loaf and think which variant is better.

"Not having money to" and "not having an ability to" are two different things, imbecile. They've built 4 Sovremennyy-class destroyers for China, two in the 90s and another two in the early 00s. They converted an aircraft carrier for India. They are building submarines with the displacement of cruisers and battlecruisers for themselves. They've constructed their halves of Mistrals. And they were developing a modern destroyer project as their shipyards are replacing their aging ships with the new ones. They are more than capable of building a fucking destroyer as soon as the R&D is finished.

Still missing the point of what happens to perishable skilled labor forces and design bureaus when you don't build things like that for 27 years. Still completely ignorant as to how the military shipbuilding industry works. Still thinking all those workers there during the soviet years are somehow magically still around. Still thinking all that equipment is somehow still viable, much less kept pace with shipbuilding innovations.

But I am not going to still argue this with a hopeless ass like yourself.

So they built 4 destroyers for China in between 1999 and 2006. And charged them almost as much as a Burke apiece for them. Building a Soviet design. Ok.
