Project 23000E or Shtorm is a proposal for a supercarrier designed by the Krylov State Research Center for the Russian Navy.[1] The cost of the export version has been put at over US$5.5 billion,[4] and as of 2017 development had been expected to take ten years.[4] As of 2020, the project had not yet been approved and, given the financial costs, it was unclear whether it would be made a priority over other elements of Russian naval modernization.[5]

History[]

The carrier is being considered for service with the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet as a replacement for Admiral Kuznetsov which was commissioned in 1991. The is also reported to be taking part in the development project.[6] Although the creation of a new aircraft carrier, along with the Lider-class destroyers, has been postponed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, it is still mentioned in the Russia's State Armament Programme for 2018–2027 released in May 2017.[7] According to Russian officials, a new heavy aircraft carrier should be laid down between 2025 and 2030.[citation needed] In 2020 it was reported that, if built, the carrier might also be fitted with the proposed S-500 surface-to-air missiles.[8]

In early July 2016, the design of the aircraft carrier was offered to India for purchase.[9][4]
