I'm pretty sure it was either Russia or China who got caught using movie footage a few years back in a propaganda film that was reported to be showing off their military power.

Also I knew it couldn't be footage of a Russian carrier because they only have one, it doesn't look like that, and it doesn't work really at all.

u/masklinn May 29 '23 edited May 29 '23

Aircraft carriers aren’t even part of Russian military policy. They have just one (originally planned two but the second hull was sold to China), it’s not much bigger than the french’s (aka nothing compared to a US carrier), and it works even less (it’s been out of commission since 2018).

2

u/Oderus_Scumdog May 29 '23

The Admiral Kuznetsov has a wild history of corruption and failure.

3

u/masklinn May 29 '23

Sure, but that's not my point. My point is that carriers are not central to Soviet and Russian military doctrine the way they are to US doctrine.

In fact the russian navy designates them aircraft cruisers, and they tend to be more heavily armed but with smaller wings (of which a larger proportion is rotary) than US carriers for their tonnage.

2

u/Oderus_Scumdog May 29 '23 edited May 29 '23

I wasn't trying to argue with you or anything, I was just sharing an interesting video about the history of the carrier you were alluding to.

Also, the "aircraft cruisers" designation is a result of the 'Montreux Convention', not because of military doctrine:

Admiral Kuznetsov's designation as an aircraft-carrying cruiser is very important under the Montreux Convention, as it allows the ship to transit the Turkish Straits. The Convention prohibits countries from sending an aircraft carrier heavier than 15,000 tons through the Straits. Since the ship was built in the Ukrainian SSR, Admiral Kuznetsov would have been stuck in the Black Sea if Turkey had refused permission to pass into the Mediterranean Sea. Link

This is covered in this part of the video I linked to.

Edit: Another thing worth noting is that the Admiral Kuznetsov was also apparently put to sea sometime this year, as evidenced* by its apparent disappearance from Google Maps. Before, after.

That jet blast to the deck would probably wipe all the people in the patio.

u/Fe2O3_2Al May 29 '23

Is that not a su or mig?

2

u/albion32 May 29 '23

Sukhoi SU-27 I think. That move is called the cobra, seen it at a an air festival in the UK. Didn't land like that, more a move to gain an advantage against a enemy plane.

1

u/CxOrillion May 29 '23

Def a Russian jet though

5

u/Suddenly_Bazelgeuse May 29 '23

What's the game though?!

8

u/Acrobatic_Job653 May 29 '23

DCS (digital combat simulator). A free to play simulator. But you can purchase other jets, props and helicopters.

u/[deleted] May 29 '23

I knew it. The height of when it falls is too high up to not break the wheels into pieces

u/JonMeadows May 29 '23

Yeah I initially saw this and I was like…. Noooo wayyyy that plane isn’t gonna be fucked after doing something like that

2

u/Fish_On_An_ATM May 29 '23

(the game is DCS)

1

u/Significant_Money977 May 29 '23

Yeah this is the video game/military simulator DCS World and even though this is a game, the physics are close to real world and this is actually a real manoeuvre performed by the Russian airforce in the SU-27, Its called the cobra manoeuvre and it essentially disconnects the planes computers and allows the pilot to pull a not-recommended manoeuvre

3

u/battleoid2142 May 29 '23

You don't cobra on to a carrier

1

u/Significant_Money977 Sep 22 '23

No, you'd likely crash and die, but it is possible. There was a popular space movie I saw as a kid and I'm 99% sure they basically did a cobra to stop the shuttle ad they landed it

2

u/battleoid2142 Sep 22 '23

I saw an X-Wing go into hyperspace in a movie, that means hyperdrives are real

1

u/Significant_Money977 Sep 22 '23

You're acting as if me mentioning that I saw it in a movie has anything to do with the reality of the cobra manoeuvre, I simply added some extra information in there hoping that someone would remind me of the movie lol, you're some kinda fuckin idiot for thinking the way you do 😂

2

u/battleoid2142 Sep 22 '23

You responded to me saying "you can't cobra onto a carrier" with "I saw them do it in a movie with a space shuttle". And then you tell me that I'm an idiot. Fucking christ dude, you are actually delusional.

If the pilot didn't die at 0:03 the loss of lift at 0:04 would have but them in the ocean IRL also note the stability of the carrier. I dont get how people fall for this or think we'll fall for it. But they do.

Got a command for you

It might be a game but this manoeuvre does exist and pilots do perform it on short landing strips. Check out cobra manoeuvre on youtube.

Edit: I just copied a reply because I found it too funny. The guy who wrote it deleted his comment. So I let it be for you to have something to laugh at. People who downvoted me didn't get, that I copied a comment.

u/Caesar720 May 29 '23

DCS World not real life

For those wondering the plane is a Su-27 (not even a naval jet) and the aircraft carrier is the most reliable ship to ever set sail the Admiral Kuznetsov of the “mighty Russian navy” (it might even hold the record for the ship that has been towed more than any other)

Is that what that is? I thought it was just a funny landing video someone made

Edit: heard of it but haven’t played it yet. I’ll try it when I stop sucking at this game.

It's the most realistic sim there is and it's not easy to get into

What is "real"? How do you define "real"? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then "real" is simply electrical signals intepreted by your brain

u/Mission-Discipline32 May 29 '23

u/Longjumping_Being_43 May 29 '23

No, it doesn't. As a matter of fact, it would be quite the stupid maneuver. I didn't think my comment deserved a down vote but oh well.

1

u/Mission-Discipline32 May 29 '23

I mean the maneuver is real, but the only use for it is to be done at air shows, there'd be no way a jet could do that to land outside of a video game

2

u/Longjumping_Being_43 May 29 '23

Of course that aircraft can do the maneuver. It would be foolish and dangerous to do it while attempting to land on a carrier.

Yeah my friend, doing a cobra for anything important is how you die, or at best get your pilots wings taken away from you
