Yet all navys except US's prefer it over catapults.

 

All navies? So... Britain, France, Brazil, and possibly China don't count? :D The catapult is a superior system, but more complicated and difficult to maintain. Unless you count EMALS, in which case...

You trust Wikipedia too much... never quote Wikipedia in an argument you want to win! You can count in Britain, with the Queen Elizabeth class that is under construction. China is a possibility: they are still designing their first carrier, but there is a good chance they will build catapult carriers. They're expected to. It's just a better system, if you can afford it. Reasons include higher launch weight, greater airspeed margin at launch, larger and heavier aircraft can land aboard (COD,) etc.

@aaron886: I'm not trying to win any argument. I'm not even arguing. I am just citing some wikipedia text. I don't have anything against catapults. My country itself is constructing a catapult carrier (INS Vishal). :smilewink:

There was indeed an extremely valid reason catapults were cancelled for the Kuznetsov class, incorrectly reported as development cost savings. They're not that complicated, difficult or expensive comparatively speaking and are a far better system in every way.

 

Except for one thing: the Black Sea Treaty (1991 iirc). No aircraft carrier fitted with catapults is allowed into the Black Sea (helicopter carriers, ASW cruisers and "cruisers with air complement" are excepted). The idea was to keep American supercarriers out, at the time it was the one and only issue all three of Russia, Ukraine and Turkey firmly agreed on. There's a big international game of monopoly going on in the region, Romania, Tblisi/Abkhazia/Chechnya, Bulgaria, Turkey, etc., the big three over there don't want the US involved in it.

The CIS threatened to attack NATO if it entered Georgia in 96 you know, when the Navy opened up on the coast.

 

That was why with the ramp, the Kuz is the most powerful naval unit allowed into the Black Sea, sort of makes the Russian Federation the final word on Black Sea regional security bar none.

 

I think with the split between the Turkish military and its civilian government however it's going to or already has expired and the purpose is hollow with massive NATO military presence all over the shop around Asia Minor, the Middle East and Central Asia anyway. The advance of US bases through the Balkans into the Black Sea region ran out of puff when Bush was swapped for Obama and the strategic focus for the southern districts firmly overland or across the Caspian now.

 

 

Kind of funny really. The reason a piece of technology is being used by a military was 100% political. I wonder how many times that's happened in the past.

Some finishing touches are left a some bugs are to be fixed. Latest development is in testing but there is still time until simmers can get hand on it. I again insist in patience as this is really a laborious job and I sometime pit it aside for new ideas to arise.

very sexy bird.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
