Russia's Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser is under consideration. Measure it all. In fact, its comprehensive combat capability is not under the American "Ticonderoga"-class Aegis missile cruisers. Even if you fight for firepower. The Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers are much more powerful than the American Ticonderoga-class Aegis missile cruisers!

Especially due to the fact that the Russian aircraft carrier forces are very weak. Known as the pinnacle of the former Soviet Navy, the "Love" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser. It was equipped with all the most advanced and complete combat information systems, communication systems, weapon systems, sensor systems, and electronic warfare systems in the former Soviet Union at that time. Because having a super-powerful comprehensive combat capability is undoubtedly the operational and command core of its maritime formations. Its role is irreplaceable by other ships.

In particular, the weapons systems of the Kirov class concentrated the most modern technology of the former Soviet Navy at that time. First, it has been widely used by navies around the world. It is regarded as a classic work in the history of the development of naval ships in the world. As for how much such a nuclear-powered guided cruiser will cost. The USSR did not disclose it at that time. However, at that time, the official figure announced by the former Soviet Union was not less than the cost of building a medium-sized city with a population of 000,000. This is no wonder that even such a behemoth as the Soviet Union. Only four ships could be built with the nation's strength - five were originally planned. But the last one was cancelled due to many factors, such as funding and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

By the beginning of the twenty-first century. In the end, the Russian Navy was able to maintain its combat effectiveness only with the two ships of the Northern Fleet, "Admiral Nakhimov" and "Peter the Great". The remaining two. Because there is not enough money for the maintenance of warships. In the end, it can only be scrapped.

Well. Of course. Until now. The Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser, which the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet is equipped with, has not yet been scrapped. But because of its expensive maintenance costs. Now it's the same as other warships. It can only be left to rot in the harbor - the poor Russian Navy, which cannot even maintain a missile escort. How can there be money to maintain such a large thing with super high maintenance costs? If you don't carry out a major overhaul and in-depth maintenance. It is estimated that it will not be too long before it is scrapped.

Zhang Dingjun knows. If Zhang Lan can really get the "Kirov"-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser of the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet intact to China. With the "Kirov"-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser as the core, a task force will be formed in conjunction with the "Dreadnought" class missile destroyers focusing on anti-submarine and the "Modern" class missile destroyers focusing on anti-ship, as well as a number of frigates and submarines. Maritime combat capabilities of the Chinese Navy. Whether anti-submarine, anti-ship or anti-aircraft operations. Able to leapfrog the Japanese "Eighty-Eight" fleet. Even the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group stationed in Japan will have to retreat. Thoroughfare. The Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers had two missions at the beginning of their design: first. As the main escort force of nuclear-powered and conventionally powered aircraft carrier formations. Second. In the absence of the participation of an aircraft carrier battle group. As the flagship of an independent combat formation. With other cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines, etc., it forms a missile cruiser formation and independently carries out anti-submarine, anti-ship and anti-air combat missions. At the present time the aircraft carriers of the Russian Navy are massively decommissioned. In the case of the cessation of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier program. The second combat mission became the main mission of the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers of the Kirov class. From the very beginning of its design, it was already expected to assume the heavy responsibility of assuming the operational and command core of the maritime formation.

Of course. Such a special fleet with the "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser as the core will be formed. It's a lot of money. Think about the cost of a medium-sized city with a population of 1,|00! If China really wants to buy it. How much does it cost?

If you buy it through normal channels. Not to mention how the United States and Japan will react at that time, whether Lao Maozi will sell it. Even if Lao Mao will sell. It is estimated that a Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser (or second-hand goods that have been used for more than 15 years), a dreadnought-class missile destroyer and a "Modern" class missile destroyer: a fleet formation of three warships. The total value will not be less than $25|!

Don't forget. Now there are only four heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers of the Kirov class in the whole of Russia. And there is only one in the entire Far Eastern Pacific Fleet! -- Although it is because of the economic recession in Russia. There is no military spending for the army. These Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers are now lying in their home harbors waiting to rot.

But if Lao Maozi really plans to take advantage of this opportunity to sell for a good price. It is estimated that Lao Maozi will not be polite when he wields a knife.

But if Zhang Lan really has a way to get these three warships in their hands. Even if the price is not less than 2|US dollars. Zhang Dingjun is sure. The military was stimulated by the crisis in the Taiwan Strait

Leadership. Even if it's to tighten your belt. It will also agree without hesitation to get a warship -- it's not that China doesn't want to buy it. It's really an old man who doesn't sell it!

It is precisely because of the "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers that they cost a lot of money to build and maintain. Difficult to build and use in batches. Russia has only developed the Glorious-class conventionally powered missile cruisers, known as the miniature and economic versions.

Although compared to the "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers. The displacement of the conventionally powered missile cruisers of the "Glorious" class has shrunk by almost half. But the combat capability has not shrunk much. It is equipped with approximately the same weapons as the "Kirov" class. It also has similar offensive and defensive capabilities. Although compared to the 0|, equipped with heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers of the "Kirov" classSS-N-19 "Granite" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile. The "Glorious"-class missile cruisers are equipped with only 16 SS-N-12 "box" heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles, but they are not inferior to the "Granite" in terms of range or power. The same as the heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers of the "Kirov" class. When necessary. The Glorious-class missile cruisers can also take on the heavy role of serving as the command center of the fleet.

Even compared to the Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers, which can only perform anti-aircraft anti-ship and anti-submarine combat missions. The Glorious-class missile cruisers also have the ability to attack land. When supporting the Marine Corps in amphibious landing operations. The twin AK130 automatic naval guns carried on board the Glorious-class missile cruisers had a rate of fire of up to 60 rounds per minute. This means: Marines with the support of this cruiser. When performing an amphibious landing attack mission. As long as one of these naval guns fires. At least the surface fire of the previous army artillery battery. It is conceivable that it will play an important role in supporting the Navy's amphibious landing operations. ,

This is especially important for China. China faces the issue of ownership of many islands in the South China Sea. Let the navy put the amphibious landing operation in a very important position. Simply because the combat capabilities of the Navy are too poor. It gave those little monkeys a chance to make waves. In response to the saying: there are no tigers in the mountains. The monkey is king!

But if it is necessary. There was such a formidable cruiser to support the amphibious landing operations of the Marine Corps. Then you can imagine it. How much protection will it provide for the officers and men of the landing operation when the time comes. King of the Mountain: The Tiger is back. Where are the monkeys making a fuss?

Zhang Dingjun held his chin and frowned, thinking hard: If Zhang Lan, this kid is really capable. Even if you can't get the "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers. But if you get the "Glorious" class missile cruisers. With a "Glorious"-class missile cruiser as the core of the fleet, a "Dreadnought"-class missile destroyer with anti-submarine as the mainstay, and a "Modern" class guided missile destroyer with anti-ship as the mainstay, even the missile cruiser has been brought in. What is the question of what else should be used for missile destroyers -- if they also cooperate with domestic frigates and submarines to form a task force? It will be possible to form a special fleet that integrates long-range, medium- and short-range area air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine and other super combat capabilities. Its ocean-going combat capability is still not inferior to that of the "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser as the core, and it has formed a task force in conjunction with the "Dreadnought" class missile destroyers focusing on anti-submarine and the "Modern" class missile destroyers focusing on anti-ship, as well as a number of frigates and submarines.

Such a fleet. It is still a formidable maritime combat force capable of making the US "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier battle group and Japan's "88" fleet tremble and retreat while trembling. At that time, the position of the Chinese Navy in the whole of Asia and even in the whole world will be able to increase exponentially. It can even be used to enter the ranks of the world's first-class navy from the world's second-rate navy. Although there is still some distance from the world's top naval power. But it is already a force that makes all the countries in the world uncomfortable.

With such a strong fleet to support itself in the back. When the government speaks internationally, the waist board will be much stiffer!

As for the "China threat theory" at that time? Zhang Dingjun shook his head secretly in his heart: Now China wants to threaten them. But there are no hard guys in their hands. What to threaten them? Which Chinese soldier doesn't want the current China to revive the Han and Tang dynasties? Peaceful Rise? That's just the way to go. If there is a guy in hand. China can also be like the United States. See who is not convinced. Then fight until he is served.

It's just that. Ahem. Is this really a possibility? Does Zhang Lan really have the ability to handle this matter? Zhang Dingjun didn't have a bottom in his heart.

"This thing. How sure are you? "I forced myself to suppress the excitement in my heart. Zhang Dingjun asked
