TRUMPETER USSR MINSK AIRCRAFT CARRIER COD. 05703 SCALA 1:700

NOT AVAILABLE

Minsk was a Soviet light aircraft carrier with classical propulsion. The keel was laid under this ship in 1972, the launching took place in September 1975, and the entry into service took place in 1978. The total length of the ship was 273 meters, the width overall was 32.7 meters, and its total displacement was about 38,000 tons. The maximum speed was up to 32 knots. The onboard armament included: 4 SS-N-12 twin rocket launchers, two SA-N-3 twin rocket launchers, two 76.2 mm twin guns and eight 30 mm AK-630 sets. The aircraft carrier could embark up to 28 aircraft, including, for example, Ka-25 or Ka-27 helicopters or Yak-38 aircraft. Minsk was the second largest aircraft carrier of the Kijew (Kiev, project 1143) class. This type of unit was built on the basis of the experience gained from the operation of Moscow-class air cruisers. Like them, they have a powerful onboard armament, corresponding to more than one destroyer of that time, but they also have a much larger air bridge that allows the operation of Yak-38 aircraft. The main task of Kijew-type ships was to combat submarines (ZOP), especially American SSBN units armed with Polaris missiles. In peacetime, they played mainly a propaganda role and were supposed to represent the naval power of the Soviet Union. One of the ships of this class, namely Minsk, was built on the Black Sea in Nikolaev. Soon after entering service, Minsk was assigned to the Black Sea Fleet, but in 1979 it was transferred to the Pacific Fleet. In 1981-1982, after a series of Yak-38 accidents, the architecture of the aircraft carrier's launch deck was modified. In 1982-1983 the vessel operated in the Indian Ocean basin and in 1986 represented the Soviet flag in the DPRK during a courtesy visit. A major overhaul of Minsk was planned in the early 1990s, but the vessel was finally decommissioned in 1993. The decommissioned vessel was purchased by one of the Chinese companies, towed to the PRC and converted into a museum ship and entertainment center, a role it has been performing since 2000.
