Zitat:Zurzeit verfügt die russische Seekriegsflotte über nur einen einsatzfähigen atomgetriebenen Raketenkreuzer, die „Pjotr Welliki“. Jetzt wird die Möglichkeit erwogen, zwei weitere Kreuzer mit Atomantrieb - „Admiral Nachimow“ und „Admiral Lasarew“ - wieder herzustellen.

Die „Admiral Nachimow“ (ex "Kalinin") ist ja angeblich seit 5 Jahren in der Umrüstung.
Die „Admiral Lasarew (ex "Frunse") sollte laut Wiki ja verschrottet werden.
Was wohl mit dem Typschiff "Admiral Uschakow" (ex "Kirow") wird?

Zitat:Admiral Nakhimov commences sea trials

Russian Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser Admiral Nakhimov commenced sea trials on 18 August 2025 following a lengthy modernisation programme at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk. Work officially began on the upgrade in December 2013, although the cruiser had been laid up in Severodvinsk since 1997.

Originally commissioned as Kalinin in 1988 , Admiral Nakhimov has undergone a substantial amount of work that has seen the 20 P-700 Granit (SS-N-19 ‘Shipwreck') anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), with which it was originally equipped, removed and replaced with a total of 80 UKSK vertical launching system (VLS) cells mounted in 10 eight-cell modules.

The fitting of the UKSK VLS will bring considerably more operational flexibility as it will allow Admiral Nakhimov to launch all the weapons from the Kalibr family (the SS-N-27 ‘Sizzler' anti-ship missile; the SS-N-30 ‘Sagaris' land attack missile; and the SS-N-31 ‘Swordfish' anti-submarine missile), plus the Oniks anti-ship missile (SS-N-26 ‘Strobile') and the Tsirkon hypersonic missile (SS-N-33). In addition to new offensive weapons, the defensive suite has been upgraded. The original S-300F (SA-N-6 ‘Grumble') long-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system has been removed and replaced either with the navalised version of the S-300PMU1 (SA-N-20) or a new navalised S-400 (SA-21 ‘Growler').

Zitat: Ein Hoch auf alte Technologie, die man noch mit stählernem Werkzeug reparieren konnte! Nach knapp drei Jahrzehnten außer Dienst auf Reede und einem weiteren Jahrzehnt zur Aufrüstung in der Werft liegend, ist der 1983 in Sankt Petersburg auf Kiel gelegte Atomkreuzer „Admiral Nachimow“ (Typschiff der Kirov-Klasse, 250 Meter, 27.000 Tonnen) von Murmansk aus zu Testfahrten aufgebrochen.
...

Mit der Annexion der Krim 2014 sollte die „Nachimow“ für 1,2 Milliarden Euro wiederbelebt und bis 2021 mit den neuesten Flugkörper-Systemen Zircon, Kalibr und Oniks ausgerüstet werden. Das hat jetzt etwas länger gedauert. Da aber nun für das Schwesterschiff eine dringende Überholung von Technik und Antrieb oder vielleicht eher eine Außerdienststellung ansteht und auch eine weitere Instandsetzung des Flugzeugträgers „Admiral Kusnetsov“ ausgeschlossen werden kann, steht der „Nachimov“ mit „neuem Wein in alten Flaschen“ und ihrer Besatzung in Stärke von 700 eine glänzende Zeit als Flaggschiff der Marine der Russischen Föderation bevor.

Zitat:Cold War Battlescruiser, Modern Price: Russia’s Costly Admiral Nakhimov Upgrade

[11/02/2026]

At around 28,000 tons Russia’s Kirov-class is the largest and most heavily armed surface combatant in the World. One of these Soviet-era steel titans, Admiral Nakhimov, has recently emerged from a decade-long and hugely expensive modernization, ready to take her place as the pride of the modern Russian Navy. Yet in the meantime drone warfare, like we are seeing the Black Sea, is challenging this investment. But the money has already been spent. [...]

The Russian Government has spent billions of dollars, some estimate as much as $5 billion, to modernize the Kirov-class battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov. [...] The future of such large surface combatants in the age of uncrewed warfare seems increasingly questionable. Even before drones, concentrating so much money and firepower in a single hull was open to challenge. But now it is even more doubtful. While drones cannot currently perform all the roles of crewed vessels, the threat they create and the way that they are reshaping naval warfare is real. It is not just whether drones can sink or disable the ship, it is whether it is a wise investment. [...]

Large capital ships, while they may be particularly impressive in peacetime, are not much better defended than the Russian ships hiding in Novorossiysk in the Black Sea. They aren’t meaningfully better armoured. Perhaps, learning from the loss of Moskva, the money spent on adding new long range air defences and cruises missiles to Nakhimov could have been better invested in fire suppression and damage control systems. [...]

It’s also only a single ship and it looks increasingly likely that the other two major warships, her sister ship Peter the Great and the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, will be retired. Possibly it’s intended only for show, for waving the flag abroad and in naval parades.
