service since 1980, the “Admiral Ushakov” class has been the world’s most powerful nuclear-powered cruiser firepower, but its construction has only been four, respectively, “Karimov Navy Nashiri will be “No.” Admiral Lazarev “number,” Kirov “was (now named” Admiral Ushakov “) and” Peter the Great “. Still have the operational capability of the Northern Fleet and equipment only, “Peter the Great”, the rest are due to poor condition in Ge Jian sealed state.

In addition, the hull and nuclear power plant will also be repaired. The improvements will be able to service this type of cruiser extended to 2030-2040 years.
1144 model cruiser in the conversion process will be the dress the most important harvest large number of new weapons and equipment: the original 20 sets of “granite” long-range anti-ship missile launchers will be the latest model of common carrier-based launch system replaced. The new system can be filled with a variety of missiles, including anti-submarine rocket torpedoes, anti-aircraft missiles and long-range cruise missiles, missiles will be stored in the previous 20 increased to 80. In the transmission system can also be used to attack aircraft carriers filled the “agate” or “caliber” anti-ship missiles.

It is reported that for the” Admiral Ushakov “class cruiser of the improvement program will be the first in the” na hi Karimov Admiral “was tested on , related work will begin this year. It is estimated that, “Admiral Nashiri Karimov” sign will be delivered in 2015, the Russian Navy, after which the fate of the other Ge Jian will also be finalized.
However, the Russian military is currently an important issue to be resolved is: Why do we need such as the Russian Navy, “Admiral Ushakov” level the giant warship. Russia’s strategic and technical analysis, as deputy director Konstantin Macchi extended families in the “News” interview, pointed out, the Russian Navy is still a lack of the use of the class cruiser program.
Makiyenko issue explained: “We may be involved in the occurrence of the conflict in the Caucasus and Central Asia, this ship is unable to participate, while at the outbreak of NATO or Japan imaginary war, no matter how the class cruisers will be the enemy has a huge advantage to destroy the sea. “
Despite doubts, it is undeniable that the lack of large-scale Russian Navy combat ships will lead to inability to protect Russia’s military presence on the oceans, and the improved and re-enable the “Admiral Ushakov” class nuclear-powered cruiser is no doubt that in a short time to reverse this situation the best solution.
