The development of aircraft carriers in the Soviet Union was full of twists and turns. The Soviets first started with some primitive seaplane carriers and barges with seaplanes, but these early attempts did not meet the standards of aircraft carriers. In 1925, the plan to transform the battlecruiser Izmail into an aircraft carrier was approved, but it was aborted due to technical, financial, and misunderstanding of the role of the aircraft carrier. In 1937, although the "Project 71" aircraft carrier design was mature, Stalinism's prejudice made it stop again. The Soviet Union built a total of nine aircraft carriers, two of which were not completed. The seven ships that had been built had different fates. The USS Moscow and the USS Leningradler were early aircraft carriers, more like extra-large warships. They could only park helicopters and were dismantled in 1995. The Kyiv, Minsk, and Novorossiysk had a displacement of 40,000 tons, but the way they could take off and land was limited, making them inferior to the advanced aircraft carriers of the United States. The Kyiv became a tourist attraction in Tianjin; the situation of the Novorossiysk was unknown after it was bought by South Korea; the Minsk was dismantled by South Korea, and the abandoned aircraft carrier that caught fire might be the Minsk. Admiral Gorshkov was purchased by India, and there were many problems in the modification. The Kuznetsov, which could really carry the Su- 33 fighter jet, was the first true aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union. It was now the only aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy, but it had frequent failures. The unfinished Varyag was purchased by China and transformed into the Liaoning.The Ulyanovsk was originally intended to be a next-powered aircraft carrier, but it was dismantled before it was completed. The development of aircraft carriers in the Soviet Union was restricted by many factors. The disintegration of the Soviet Union made its aircraft carrier team scattered. The different endings of these aircraft carriers reflected the importance of national strength and stability to the development and preservation of aircraft carriers.

The development of the Soviet aircraft carrier had indeed gone through many twists and turns. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union vigorously developed its navy. The construction of aircraft carriers was an important part of its naval strategy. At its peak, it had nine aircraft carriers. However, the Soviet Union placed too much emphasis on military industry, resulting in an imbalance in its economic structure and its eventual disintegration. The disintegration of the Soviet Union had a huge impact on the global military situation. The United States became the only superpower, the huge naval legacy of the Soviet Union was divided, and the fate of the aircraft carrier became the focus of the game among the successor countries. The economic situation was the key factor that determined the fate of the aircraft carrier. Russia inherited the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. Although it was in poor condition and needed frequent maintenance, it was still an important symbol of the Russian Navy. Russia hoped to return it to its peak through modern transformation. Ukraine took over two aircraft carriers: the Varyag and the Ulyanovsk. The Varyag was incomplete at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union (only 68% completed). Due to insufficient funds and technology, it could not continue to be built. It was sold to China and later transformed into China's Liaoning-class warship. The Ulyanovsk was the first next-powered aircraft carrier that the Soviet Union intended to build. Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the construction plan was interrupted and finally dismantled. The Novorossiysk was purchased by South Korea and dismantled into scrap metal in 1997; the Baku was sold to India and became the main aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy after modernizing and upgrading; the Minsk and the Kyiv were transformed into theme parks, located in China's Shenzhenand Tianjinrespectively. The Soviet Union also had some aircraft carrier design plans. For example, the Soviet Union once had a dream aircraft carrier design, which was the largest aircraft in history. It had a unique design and performance, but the project ended in 1974 due to the death of the designer. In short, the fate of the Soviet aircraft carriers after the collapse of the Soviet Union was different, reflecting the economic, military, and strategic needs of the successor states.

The development of the Soviet aircraft carrier was rather bumpy. Take the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier as an example. It was the first next-powered aircraft carrier built by the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War. It was built based on the needs of the Soviet Navy for long-distance operations. It was planned to carry a variety of carrier-based aircraft to perform a variety of missions. However, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the construction project was forced to stop in November 1991 and was dismantled in February of the following year. The Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was the first true aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union. It was started on April 1, 1982, officially launched in 1985, and served in 1991. However, when the Soviet Union collapsed, it was located in the already foreign Ukraine. Kravchuk, the first president of Ukraine, declared that the aircraft carrier belonged to Ukraine. However, under the arrangement of the top Soviet Navy and the Northern Fleet, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier secretly left Ukraine and faced many tests during its escape, such as various risks and situations when passing through the Turkish Strait and the Strait of gibraltar. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than 30 years ago, Russia had never built a large-ton surface ship with an aircraft carrier configuration. Although it had introduced at least five new aircraft carrier plans with different tonnages, ship-based release methods, power systems, and island styles, they were basically stuck in the PowerPoint and scaled-down models. None of them had actually started construction. Russia's domestic shipbuilding industry had difficulties in building smaller ships, and building modern aircraft carriers was beyond its current limits.

The development of the Soviet aircraft carrier witnessed the efforts and changes of the Soviet Union in the construction of naval forces. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union vigorously developed its navy to compete with the United States for maritime hegemony. The construction of aircraft carriers became an important part of its naval strategy. In its heyday, it had nine aircraft carriers. However, due to the excessive emphasis on military industry, the Soviet Union's economic structure was unbalanced and eventually disintegrated, which had a huge impact on the fate of its aircraft carriers. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the legacy of the aircraft carrier was divided by the successor states, and the economic situation of each successor state became a key factor in determining the fate of the aircraft carrier. Russia inherited the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. Although it was in poor condition and needed frequent maintenance, it was of great significance to the Russian Navy. Russia hoped to return it to its peak through modernisation to maintain its position in the global naval force. Ukraine took over the Varyag and Ulyanovsk. The Varyag was not completed when the Soviet Union collapsed. It was sold to China because of the lack of funds and technology in Ukraine. After modification, China named it the Liao ship and equipped it with the navy. The Ulyanovsk was the first next-powered aircraft carrier that the Soviet Union intended to build. It was eventually dismantled due to the interruption of the construction plan of the Soviet Union. Novorossiysk was purchased by South Korea and dismantled into scrap metal in 1997. After the Baku was sold to India, it was renamed the Vikramatia. India upgraded it to become the main aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy. The Minsk and the Kyiv were transformed into theme parks in China's Tianjin and Tianjin, respectively, transforming from war tools into cultural tourism carriers. In the early years of the Soviet Union, other aircraft carriers were explored. For example, in the 1960s, the Soviets began to design and develop the Moscow helicopter carrier, which was the first attempt in the field of aircraft carriers. It had a full displacement of more than 20,000 tons. In the 1970s, they developed the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, a total of four, belonging to the 40,000-ton class aircraft carrier. In the 1980s, they began to develop the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, a total of two, a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

The Soviet Union had the following aircraft carriers: 1. Moscow aircraft carriers: Including the Moscow and Leningrad-class aircraft carriers. Its appearance is more like an enveloping assault ship. It is the early result of the development of the Soviet aircraft carrier. At that time, it was also an important ship of the Soviet Navy. The Moscow aircraft carrier also operated in the Mediterranean and Atlantic. 2. ** Kiev-class aircraft carriers **: such as the Kyiv, Minsk, Novorossiysk, and Baku. The Kyiv was the star ship of the Soviet Navy and often visited; the Minsk was active in the Pacific Ocean, mainly guarding the Japanese waters; the Novorossiysk and Baku were not as famous as the former two, but they also played an important role in the Soviet Navy. 3. ** Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers **: There are the Kuznetsov and the Varyag. The flight deck of this class of aircraft carriers was longer and could take off and land large fixed-wing fighters. It had strong long-distance combat capabilities. Kuznetsov was Russia's only aircraft carrier; the construction of the Varyag was interrupted during the collapse of the Soviet Union, with a completion rate of 68%. It was later purchased by China and transformed into a ship. 4. ** Ulyanovsk **: The fourth-generation aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union. It was a nuclear powered aircraft carrier with a full displacement of about 80,000 tons. It was 321 meters long and 83.9 meters wide. Due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the construction progress was only about 40%, and it was eventually dismantled due to the limited economic level of Ukraine and the collapse of supporting manufacturers.

I recommend Red Moscow. The author smeared his memories. This was a military war novel. The protagonist was reborn as Misha of the Red Army. The story started from the Soviet Union's counterattack. The writing was good but a little immature. After all, it was the author's first book. Books about the Soviets and Turks were rare now, and they were very realistic. Those who liked the Soviets and Turks could read them. " Cultivation: My Hard Work Will Lead to Success " was also not bad. The author ran forward with a face full of dust. This was a Xianxia novel. The male protagonist, Chen Yi, traveled through the world of immortal cultivation and had a purple-gold destiny. He was not discouraged even if he was a slave. He relied on his own characteristics to reach the immortal palace. The characters in the book had a lot of information. The overall style was above average and the rhythm was good. It was currently being serialised. There was also 'Burning Moscow written by the Tangs of Red Square. This was a foreign historical novel about an ordinary female soldier's experience in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War. It was very unique to see the war from a female perspective. Although there were few emotional descriptions and the ending was rushed, the war descriptions were very interesting. It was a rather unconventional book that was worth reading. 'The Way of the Sword of the Heavens' Wuxia 'was a heavenly novel written by Zhuo Jiu Kong Ming. The main character, Xu Yin, traveled through the world of Wuxia with a bronze sword and could see all kinds of powerful ancient sword techniques. It was a good Wuxia time-travel novel. " Magic Carrier " was a fantasy novel written by the guava tree. It was about Hogan Haoran and Liu forming a magical version of the aircraft carrier special forces. The aircraft carrier formation was very hot-blooded after forming combat power, and there were all kinds of magical warships. It was not suitable for timid readers. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In 1979, during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the Soviet Union sent a special task force consisting of 36 warships to the South China Sea. At that time, the navy of the People's Liberation Army was relatively weak. When the confrontation with the Soviets was critical, the US aircraft carrier fleet appeared on the sea level, which played a role in deterring the Soviets and forcing them to retreat. There were complicated international relations factors behind this incident. At that time, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union deteriorated, and the relationship between China and the United States formed a certain anti-Soviet front after the ice-breaking. This action of the United States was of great significance under the geographical situation at that time. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

There were many aircraft carrier-related medals. For example,"The Complete Set of China's Aircraft Carrier Commemorative Medallions" was released in 2011. It was produced by the Chinese People's Revolutionary Military Museum. It was made of 2kg of 999 pure gold and silver. It used more than 100 processes such as mirror embossed, floral inlaying, and exquisite polishing. It included a total of 12 warships of New China, including aircraft carriers. It could be called a museum of naval vessels of New China. There was also a custom-made medal to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the first flight of the "Falcon Eagle". The "Falcon Eagle" fighter was the "official" fighter jet of China's first catapult aircraft carrier, the J- 35 stealth carrier fighter. In addition, the national defense lottery set up awards, including the fourth, fifth, and sixth prizes for different materials (gold-plated, silver-plated, copper-plated) national defense military (lottery) contribution medals.
