“The attractiveness of Russian weapons are disappearing”, which is Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has visited the suburbs of Moscow, when a military-industrial warning. In recent years, although the incessant bad-mouthing the Russian military industry have hit the newspapers, but the leader of the Russian state under the harsh words, or first time a.The “number one fan of the military” pro-test missile
According to Russian newspaper “Komsomolskaya Pravda” reported October 27, 26, Dmitry Medvedev arrived in Moscow suburbs, “a joint machine-building scientific production company” inspection tour. The company is Russia, one of a large aerospace manufacturer, mainly producing various types of missiles, rockets and space systems, and to engage in relevant research.
Like his predecessor Putin, Medvedev is also a “military fanatic.” This year in March, he visited Kubinka air force base, there was a driving Su -34 fighter planes flying sky for half an hour. This time is no exception, during a visit to mobile coastal defense missile system “bastion,” he contain himself, riding on a race on the operator position. The experts said the side, “Bastion” anti-ship missiles, from installation to enter a state of war only a few minutes, capable of destroying targets within 290 kilometers.
“Arrow” type 2 rocket also Mayer left a deep impression. It had ballistic missiles, the latter to launch civilian satellites. In addition, the company also demonstrated Russia and India, “Brahmos” joint the company’s latest products.
When the tour ended, Medvedev received an unexpected gift – well-made, “onyx” (also known as “Gem”), cruise missiles, titanium models.
Cheng Jun is only one enterprise by the international quality certification
While visitors can see the process are “bright side”, but this in no way diminish the status of Medvedev, Russia’s military-industrial concerns. In the subsequent meeting of the defense industry complex development problems the meeting, his expression solemn respect, although in recent years invested heavily in Russia for the modernization of military systems, but with little success. The reason is because the military system, just be satisfied with “fill holes”, the lack of forward-looking technology innovation, “big waste of money in those old-fashioned and equipment.”
Mr Medvedev warned that the Russian-made weapons and frequent quality problems, their appeal to foreign customers is disappearing, “This is not only detrimental to the reputation of Russian weapons, but also detrimental to Russia’s national reputation.” In his view, to maintain the competitiveness of Russian industry is necessary to reduce production costs, delivery of weapons and military equipment shall be in accordance with “wholesale” rather than “retail price.” Meeting was attended by Russia’s Industry Minister Viktor Khristenko also pointed out that only 10% of Russian industrial enterprises to obtain international quality certification, because of quality problems, “foreign military cooperation in the claims cases are growing.”
Medvedev believes that the quality of equipment will directly determine the pros and cons of future wars. He pointed out that in another two months, the Russian strategic restructuring plan will be completed, the next task facing the army and navy will be the replacement of weapons and equipment. At this stage, the major responsibilities of military systems. “If the weapon performance lagged behind other countries, once the outbreak of military conflict, then a wise strategy and tactics can not save the lives of officers and men.”
Medvedev “worried” has deep-seated reasons
Why is the military status quo in Russia Russian president so “worried”? Analysts believe that this one has a deep background.
First of all, quality compliance, delivery delay and other reasons, once the large foreign exchange earnings of the Russian industry in the world arms market share in recent years, dropped sharply. According to the U.S. Congressional Research Service released in September, “the transfer of conventional arms to developing countries” report, in 2008 the Russian arms sales is only 3.5 billion, compared with 2007, 10.8 billion lower than that. Delivered to the Algerian MiG -29 fighters, because the quality of reason will be returned; conventional arms sales to partners in India’s Russian-made weapons are also made veiled criticisms of the generals to buy “olive branch” Europe and the United States more and more stretch.
Second, the military has significantly delayed the development of military reform, hind legs dragging on the Russian military combat are seriously compromised. New “Bulava” sea-based ballistic missile Repeated failures, lead to “Borei” class submarines can not carry bombs “naked again.” In response, the Russian military of course, the views of a belly.
Sources have told “Kommersant,” said Mayer by the end of September in the Kaliningrad Oblast and Brest to watch “The West -2009″ joint military exercises, the Defense Department representatives and the Chief of General Staff Makarov on the face ” on the table “, complaining that military industrial enterprises unable to produce new types of weapons, leading to the military have to consider purchasing equipment from abroad.
