0:35 In 2018 the dry dock for the Kusnezow sank and a collapsing crane left a hole in the flight deck. In 2019 and 2022 fires broke out. To run the carriers systems a basic crew has to remain on board, which have to use the board facilities with no hot water in winter. No power supply from the shore means that generators have to run permanently. If I remember it correctly there were some reports that they had issues with the toilet system and some other important things for the daily means, but to prove this I have to do some more research.

You say "the" fire, like there was just one.

It is time for Battle of the Canards: A dogfight battle royale featuring (at a minimum) the SU33 Flanker-D, Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale, and JAS39 Gripen. May the best 'nard win.

Great thing about Super Murder Hornets is that they are massive missile trucks…

A carrier launch from the Kuznetsov carrier. Nice.

That was insane. You know the Su35 concept started out as a digitalised Su33 development for land-based use and the naval fighter was originally intended to be upgraded to a similar standard, if economics hadn't gotten in the way.

You did unbelievable landing on the end. Gerat job by you GS again thanks ❤❤❤❤

Damn, everytime you say "I think I'm good" I reflexively check the video lenght to see if I can avoid the missile jumpscare.

Amazing video dude, they're always fun to watch, how did you get those r-77-1's though?

Always amazed at how calm you remain, soothing even...

I think you did an absolutely amazing job of Piloting for sure, especially if you are not used to Naval battles, cause they are so much different than any other Flying Battle. It's way harder! You did awesome and just missed a couple missiles but you did and were the only one to come back so that is a plus. Now I can't wait to see another one, and flying as an American Pilot! Thanks! And Great job!

Really love these scenario videos from you, GS.

Dude, you have become a LOT better at landings!!! Christ, I remember you REALLY used to suck at them, but that landing was beautiful!

Sweet, i'm getting this one rite out of the box. 5 mins. old. Keep them coming

The f18 firing a missile down 11:29 and getting splashed looks so cinematic. So epic

hell yeah su-33 content

Hey GS, another superb video man, hope to see more red air naval missions

Ok I am 4:45 into the Video and I already think you hit a Homerun with this mission and bringing these to your platform now if that is what you are planning on doing. Awesome so far I love Naval Battle Concepts, these are by far my Favorite kind of role plays and missions. Nothing better than an Old Fashion Naval Battle (just with updated naval assets) between two countries or even multiple if you can get the Server Space.

Can you carry out some Air to Ground actions with the Flanker off the Kuznetsov?

Sick video bruv. Though it would have been great to see a tac view of the engagement.

The Kuznetsov must be being towed when you landed. Otherwise, it should be shrouded in thick black smoke. Makes it dead easy to find on the horizon though 😂

There would likely be F35s too, not just SuperHornets. Also, the US Navy would be raining AEGIS missiles in.

I was a little surprised that the landing cable didn't snap and ditch you into the water. I was also surprised that there wasn't a tug trying to pull the Russian carrier up to speed for the landing. Well done GS!

Wow this is a change! Awesome! I think this is the first Naval video of yours I have seen so I can't wait! Though I think you already got through the hardest part cause you are a great DCS Pilot, and you are off the Deck! Shockingly as well with it fully armed up. Good Luck!

I’ve not done any research (obviously need to) into as to exactly how a folded winged aircraft can still perform under such hi G. Pretty wild when you think about it.

Noice! More aircraft carrier missions pls.

Holy crap dude, that was really close to a ramp strike! Good mission, better video!

Main problem, ( among many) is Admiral Kuznatzov, has not had any below waterline maintenance since Gorbachev was top banana. Hard to have expectations of professionalism from a Navy who is managing to lose all it's naval battles to a country without a Navy.

This would be another interesting tacview debrief

Great gameplay for some Su-33 mastery on the first step. 84th time to suggest a boss fight between a MiG-29/Su-27 by pair or solo vs Su-57 Felon to fight against one of the most maneuverable jets in the world, I dare you to do so, GS! Good luck!

US and Australian have the extra capabilities of having EA-18G Growlers in accompanying F/A-18E-F Super hornets. If you have to fight with any 4.5gen multirole aircraft then a dedicated electronic warfare aircraft certainly helps.

The graphics are spellbinding, even on my phone.❤

The flankers look beautiful ❤️

I have for some reason just come to the realization that those of us who fly in DCS regularly likely have more experience than some actual Russian pilots.

Whoa. I'm not sure if you noticed 11:54 to 11:55 but check out the missile (probably an AIM-120D) flying over the Su-33. If you blink, you'll miss it. In fact, if you freeze frame at 15:11, you'll see another one passing behind G/S.

I agree man, the canards on the SU-33 and others that have them make them such a nice-looking fighter. Not sure what SU has the flatter duck bill nose, but that looks sick as well. Cool video man, and I like how you still enjoy flying the Russian jets. Man, that last missile just missed smak'n you in the ass. One more thing about the SU-33, I like how it doesn't ha e that huge bulge in between the engines. If someone could tell me what the hell that is I would appreciate it. Great video man as always, and love the channel. Still look forward to getting home from a huge 10 to 12 hr day sitting back with a beer and watching GS vids. 🤘🏻

I would have liked to see the AUg Steyr as well

Tac view of this one should be cool

Are the Su-33’s underfueled with a light missile load in order to takeoff? No catapult on the AK

Insane how 15 aircraft were destroyed in an engagement where no one actually SAW each other

No notification, I'm sub'd AND notifications are on.

Su-33 is one of the most good-looking of its family of flankers

Ahh, the Admiral Kuzentov, the only military flagship in the world to manage a peacetime sinking while in drydock.

"The classical air combat starts at high speed, but if you miss on the first shot-and the probability is there because there are maneuvers to avoid missiles-the combat will be more prolonged. After maneuvering, the aircraft will be at a lower speed, but both aircraft may be in a position where they cannot shoot. But supermaneuverability allows an aircraft to turn within three seconds and take another shot." - Sergey Bogdan, Sukhoi chief test pilot

Love the SU-33. ❤

Ideally you send up first wave to face the super hornets then u stay back with your planes with the ships anti air helping to thin out the numbers to have your fighters safe for when they switch to there anti ship weapons

Looks like some OPFOR training today, huh? The Sukhois are interesting aircraft.

A question if you will, in reality, if you are able to pilot an f-18, what would it take to get in the air with any other modern (same era) fighter on first introduction?

Navy has to fight the toughest scenario
