		The key aspect of the aircraft carrier is that it is, in effect, a runway at sea and modern aircraft carriers have a flat-top deck design that serves as a flight deck for take-off and landing of aircraft.
		Though aircraft carriers are given their definition with respect to fixed-wing aircraft, the first known instance of using a ship for airborne operations occurred in 1806, when the British Royal Navy's Lord Thomas Cochrane launched kites from the 32-gun frigate HMS Pallas in order to drop propaganda leaflets on the French territory.
		By the late 1930s, aircraft carriers around the world typically carried three types of aircraft: torpedo bombers, also used for conventional bombings and reconnaissance; dive bombers, also used for reconnaissance (in the U.S. Navy, this type of aircraft were known as "scout bombers"); and fighters for fleet defence and bomber escort duties.

		Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine in the form of a piston engine (with a propeller) or a turbine engine (jet or turboprop), to provide thrust that moves the craft forward through the air.
		Heliplanes are combination aircraft with both a rotor and wings; they can take off and land vertically, and hover, like a helicopter, but use their wings for high speed flight.
		The major distinction in aircraft usage is between military aviation, which includes all uses of aircraft for military purposes (such as combat, patrolling, search and rescue, reconnaissance, transport, and training), and civil aviation, which includes all uses of aircraft for non-military purposes.

		The aircraft of Kuznetsov are essentially constrained to air superiority operations.
		The flight deck area is 14,700 m² and aircraft take-off is assisted by a bow ski-jump angled at 12°.
		In the autumn of 2000, the Kuznetsov went to sea for operations related to the rescue and salvage operations of the submarine Kursk.

	A Brief Look at Russian Aircraft Carrier Development
		According to Soviet doctrine, aviation cruisers were intended not to serve as the centerpiece of naval strike capability (as the USN regards its own carriers), but as a supporting element for other naval operations.
		Nevertheless, with the Soviet Union's relatively rapid recovery from the war, plans were drafted for the construction of a new class of aircraft carriers, to begin before 1950.
		The costs of an aircraft carrier also serve as a point of criticism; in an echo of claims made by critics in the United States, Russian critics have argued that one must not only pay for the carrier, but the accompanying task group to protect it.

		Her lack of catapults precludes launching aircraft with heavy strike loads, and the air superiority orientation of the air wing is apparent.
		The flight deck area is 14,700m² and aircraft take-off is assisted by a bow ski-jump angled at 12º.
		In July 1998 the Kuznetsov emerged from a two-year overhaul and was declared active in the Northern Fleet on November 3, 1998.

		Soviet MiGs were equipped with R-60 and R-73 radar-guided missiles, which are very hard to evade.
		Soviets had Kh-25 missiles (they are aimed by electromagnetic emission of enemy radars) - missiles with COLLECTIVE intelligence (aircraft's computer can also be part of this intelligence).
		It was on this plane Soviet ace Pugachyov made "cobra" - meneur, during which aircraft moves in such critical attack vector, that loses speed and "stops" in the air.

	Kuznetsov class aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While designated an aircraft carrier, Kuznetsov's design implies a mission different from that of either the United States Navy's carriers or those of the Royal Navy's.
		This designation is used deliberately by the Soviet/Russian navy to circumvent the refusal by Turkey to let aircraft carriers pass the Dardanelles between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
		In the fall of 2000, Kuznetsov went to sea for operations related to the rescue and salvage operations of the Kursk submarine.

		Like some of you may be aware off, carrier vs carrier combat isnt possible whilst being able to fly both carrier operating aircraft as a player.
		In addition the People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army Navy possesses the former Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag, (Kuznetsov Class) but most naval analysts believe that they have no intention to operate it, but instead are using Varyag to learn about carrier operations for a future Chinese aircraft carrier.
		Another thing is even if they were allowed to sail Carriers throught the Bosphorus nothing would be worth the effort and risk of sailing 100 000 tonne ships in that small and unsafe water surrounded by dangerous countries, carriers are very vulnerable you don't put them in harms way.

		Technically, the Soviet Union never had an aircraft carrier in operation as it was against the treaty with Turkey to use the Bosphorus Strait to transit an aircraft carrier between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
		The workaround for years with the Moskva-class helicopter carriers and the later Kiev-class VTOL aircraft carriers were to classify them as aircraft carrying cruisers.

		The Russian/Soviets called some of their aircraft carriers "aircraft-carrying cruisers" to get them around the ban on carriers going through Turkey.
		Rob: I have had the impression that Soviet/Russian Navy operational effectiveness fell off the table in the early 1990's, and that it is still a shadow of its former self.
		I thought of the Soviet Navy of the Brezhnev era as like the French Navy of the Napoleonic era: A formidable force, but markedly inferior to the force it was built to fight.

		The story itself is not newsworthy (so the Russians are scrapping an aircraft carrier, so what?), but the satellite image IS. The last time a satellite image was leaked it was an aircraft carrier under construction and the guy went to jail.
		This one is leaked and it's an aircraft carrier being torn apart.
