After the completion of the upgrade, Russia’s sole aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will be equipped with the Rezistor-E digital air traffic monitoring system.
The Russian Navy said that the Rezistor-E system is currently undergoing the necessary tests to refine before officially being installed on the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier.
The aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. “During the upgrade process, the old-generation surveillance system Rezistor-K42 will be replaced by the digital system Rezistor-E. Currently, Rezistor-E has been equipped on the Navy’s aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya. Indian Army and has proven very effective and reliable,” the Russian Navy said. While operating in India, Indian pilots performed a total of more than 1,500 safe takeoffs and landings on INS Vikramaditya with the help of Rezistor-E. When activated, Rezistor-E has a digital communication and data exchange channel with fighter ships such as MiG-29K, MiG-29KUB and even Su-33 of the Russian Navy. “The Rezistor-E system enhances the ability to exchange communications between the mother ship and the fighter in any weather conditions as well as in the environment of electronic jamming. All information is exchanged with real-time speed, which the current Rezistor-K42 cannot do,” the source said. It is known that Rezistor-E is part of a series of new systems in the program to upgrade the controversial Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier in Russia. According to the latest information from the Russian National Shipbuilding Corporation, the ship will return to service in early 2022 or in the middle of that year. “By the summer of 2022 at the latest, the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier will be docked again and then put into sea trials,” the source said. Despite the announcement of the plan to test the Admiral Kuznetsov, the source did not indicate the progress of repairing and upgrading the ship after the sinking of the floating dock PD-50 in 2018 and the fire at the end of 2019. After a detailed assessment of the damage along with the prospect of upgrading work, as well as a comparison with the needs of the Russian Navy and an estimate of the remaining service life of the ship, the issue of most concern now is Now is the overhaul process should continue? And the Russian Navy has answered when it announced that the Admiral Kuznetsov will be back at sea in 2022. According to a review from the Russian site Regnum, after encountering a fire during repair, the cost of remediating the Admiral Kuznetsov ship has increased sharply and up to the present time is comparable to that of the Admiral Kuznetsov. the money spent to build a new nuclear submarine with full armament. “The cost of repairing the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is very high and actually corresponds to the cost of building a new multi-purpose nuclear submarine, causing mixed opinions about whether to continue the work or not. . But the Russian Navy still needs an aircraft carrier that can serve for a relatively long period of time in order to significantly enhance the potential of the complete combat formation, especially considering the large number of warships that the force is equipped with. This is desirable,” Regum said.
