Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on the 18th system in the Russian defense industry conference, said that Russia’s defense industry this year, the financial allocation to achieve an unprecedented 33.78 billion U.S. dollars, over the next decade the proportion of Russian modern weapons and equipment should be accounted for seven to insure that.

Putin visited the city of Kolomna, Moscow Region is located in the “machine-building Design Bureau”, which is an anti-tank missiles, portable-to-air missiles and other advanced missile R & D design center. Putin said that in times of financial crisis, the Russian defense industry to support system as the subject of one of the country this year, the Russian defense industry research and development of the production system of financial funding was “unprecedented”, amounting to 970 billion rubles (about U.S. 33.78 billion U.S. dollars).

Putin said that by the financial and economic crisis, Russia’s industrial production in the context of the overall decline, defense enterprises continued to maintain growth momentum since the beginning of this year, its main production index increased by 3.8%.

Putin stressed that, by 2020, Russian military technology and equipment of modern weapons, the ratio should reach 70-80%. To this end, Russia has not only need to ensure stable functioning of the military system, but also to streamline its internal structure of all the issues of reform and accelerate the modernization of the military system, technological innovation, the establishment of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen pool of R & D trial, a substantial increase in weapons technology, product quality and reliability.

11, urged the Government of Iran arms sales to Russia as soon as possible to fulfill the contract, the delivery to Iran of S-300 air defense missile system.

According to Russia and Iran in 2007 signed a sales contract, the direction of Russia to sell Iran a number of S-300 air defense missile system. According to Iran’s claim that Russia is still unwilling to deliver, did not make any explanation.

Iranian Labor News agency quoted Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, then reported that Russia’s practice “inappropriate” and would be regarded as an unreliable partner. He urged the Russian side, such as about the delivery of air defense missile system.

The United States and Israel against Russia to sell Iran S-300 air defense missile system, believe that this weapon system will affect the military balance in the Middle East.

Israeli President Shimon Peres in August said that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev promised to reconsider the export to Iran of S-300 air defense missile system.

Russian-Iranian officials are not talking about the arms sales to the contract amount. Some military analysts estimate that if Russia does not fulfill the contract, Russia will lose about 10 billion dollars in revenue, while paying Iran 300000000-400000000 U.S. dollars penalty.

S-300 air defense missile system performance, advanced to intercept aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and other incoming enemy targets.

U.S. media said the latest Russian submarine-launched missile is a waste – Can not be successfully developed

Nov 6

Posted by admin in Observers | Comments off

U.S. Global strategic networks November 4, published an article entitled “Russia had built a waste” article on Russia’s latest “Bulava” submarine-launched ballistic missile launch failures frequently do correlation analysis and comments. The article said that although the Russian side tried to replace the manufacturers and the leaders of related projects and other means to make the “Bulava” missile was successfully developed the ultimate, but because of its military and technical personnel and manufacturing personnel in the post-Soviet loss of serious, and 20 years, there is no fresh blood to add, “Bulava” missile will eventually not be developed! Russia will face the new century, the lack of powerful submarine-based nuclear strike against the missile dilemma.

The article said that the Russian Defense Ministry officials recently announced in July last year, “Bulava” submarine-launched ballistic missile test failed, the reason is because the first stage propulsion system design flaw, the flaw is now fixed, and at the end of this month will have to proceed a new test. So far, the “Bulava” has tested 11 times. Which tests are not entirely a success, six times is absolute failure. But even so, the Russian government still insists that the missile for the experiment will continue, and eventual success. “Bulava” is a new type of “Borei” (Boeri) class nuclear submarines and to prepare a new generation of submarine-launched ballistic missiles. To judge the current situation, it will become increasingly apparent as Russia’s defense bureaucracy a scandal.

A few months ago, “Bulava” missile development staff were told, must be made before the end of the missile was successfully developed. Otherwise, the project will be canceled, the project leaders will be replaced (in the previous “Bulava” test failure has made the project leader to step down: the missile July 15 the 11th test, in the failure of the public generally them as Russia’s nuclear deterrent setback July 22, the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, the chief architect responsible for this Solomonoff Academy of Sciences, submitted his resignation); the same time, the Russian side will ultimately choose to use Comparison of the old R-29RM “Xinie Wa” (Sineva) submarine-launched ballistic missiles as a “Bulava” alternatives. Now it was suggested that the new “Borei” class ballistic missile submarine on the use of such weighing 40 tons of liquid fuel ballistic missiles. R-29RM “Xi Niewa” missiles is Russia’s only remaining active-duty submarine-launched ballistic missiles last liquid fuel is currently equipped with the “Delta” level (Deltaclass) ballistic missile submarine.

Designers obviously aware of this wind, and inform policy makers how much the cost of this conversion, the authors estimated that at least in the text will reach several billion dollars. So now the government decided to end or continue to “Bulava” missile research and development, whatever the cost to be developed. In addition, the Commission of Inquiry’s report confirms that most of the existing problems is due to slack caused by the production. It has been suggested previously, “Bulava” missile assembly manufacturing should be transferred to another factory. However, the suggested subsequently proved to be both economically and technically feasible (Russia only the existing manufacturers with the production of solid-fuel rocket technology). In the meantime, have a number of advanced research and development project person in charge was fired.

The article said that even if liquid-fuel missile can not be a long long-term storage of fuel inside the missile, structure and manufacturing are also more complex than solid-fuel missiles. However, in a fairly long period of time, a relatively old-fashioned, but the more expensive R-29RM “Xi Niewa” submarine-launched ballistic missiles as part of its alternative may seem reasonable. Because to the Soviet era, the country in a very long period of time can not be developed solid-fuel rocket motor technology, even though they have done the largest number of efforts, and even the Soviet Union was also “sword easy road” and created several very effective in The “that could be stored liquid fuel” rocket. Finally, until towards the end of the Cold War, the country finally mastered the solid-fuel rocket manufacturing technology. However, the existing fleet of submarine-launched ballistic missile solid fuel only one, that is, equipment in the large “Typhoon”-class ballistic missile submarine (the class submarines because of the high operating costs, will be fully retired) on the stature huge, weighing 90 tons R – -39.

Many Russian officials agreed that the “Bulava” missile facing all these problems, their root causes are the post-Soviet Russia’s defense industry lost a large number of skilled engineers and scientists, its arms exports has fallen over 90%. These master “Soviet technology,” were lost to other countries, or in other industries will soon be able to find lucrative jobs. Furthermore, the Russian defense industry during the past 20 years, almost did not add any new blood. On the other hand. Russia’s domestic manufacturing industry has also experienced the same tragic situation. In the Soviet era, the defense industry have enough money and conditions to attract the country’s most skilled manufacturing engineers. But now could not have so many talents. Frustrating, “Bulava” missile test failed performance test is the seriousness of the consequences of brain drain. The same should be pointed out that some military weapons and large enterprises are in bad conditions but have become more attractive, and its able to retain more talent and more capable of producing management personnel are inseparable. Therefore, they have had the “Bulava” missile production to another for better weapons factories recommendations.

The Russian military has been doubted, “Bulava” submarine-launched ballistic missiles in the design may be problematic, if it is in the Cold War era, most of these issues are confidential. However, as the Russian press controls relaxed, more information surfaced. The article revealed that the recent Russian military command is: the most times in his first goal is to ship a new “Borei” class nuclear submarine loaded part of the reliable “Bulava” missile. However, a recent test failure that seems to be the situation seems to be unlikely, and in front of one of the test is also a failure.

At present, there are already two “Borei-class” submarine has started service, its length 12.1 meters, diameter of 2 m is the missile launch tubes originally designed to accommodate the “Bulava” missile. However, the possibility mentioned earlier instead of “Bulava” and “Xi Niewa” missile is 14.8 meters length, 1.8 meters in diameter. If the Russian side had to choose to replace, then it needs to the existing two and two under construction, “Borei-class” major changes. Is going to fully retire the “Typhoon”-class on the active equipment of the Russian submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the only solid-fuel R-39 appears to be excluded, because the missile heads very large (length 16 m, diameter 2.4 m). Even if the re-converted “Borei-class”, its is also too large.

Ironically, a number of articles in the last Russian optimism is expected. The article said that some people believe that Russia’s domestic, “Bulava” The ultimate fate – the Government finally decided to put the development work continues, and the “Bulava” missile in the final after several adjustments the successful completion of various tests, and fully equipped ” Borei-class “nuclear submarines. They also hope that every Borei boats will be equipped with 16 reliable “Bulava” missile. As the research continued and improved, “Bulava” missile and reliable from the original ratio of about 40% to 70% or 80% which is more decent proportion. But this will take some time, and all Russian people during this period should do is to try to avoid the outbreak of nuclear war. – These types of imaginary sounds equally absurd, because the military can not save the industry close to the decline, “Bulava”!

The new U.S. defense budget has tended to respond to real threats the China and Russian

Nov 4

Posted by admin in International News, Military Sources | Comments off

November 4 news: According to the Associated Press reported that U.S. President Barack Obama October 28 signing of the 2010 annual defense budget amounted to 680 billion U.S. dollars. While he said that the bill cut unnecessary spending, avoiding the inefficiencies of national defense affairs, but still amounted to more than 09 years nearly 700 billion U.S. dollars, to many, as the Obama “peace president” who is quite surprised.

Eliminate the president’s helicopter project the purchase of unmanned aerial vehicles

In absolute amounts, the U.S. defense budget for fiscal year 2009 amounted to 612 billion U.S. dollars, in 2008 for the 471 billion U.S. dollars, even with an additional 196 billion emergency funding for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there is still no more than the year 2010. Going back, the U.S. defense budget for 2007 fiscal year 439.3 billion U.S. dollars, plus 120 billion war funding, it will only 559.3 billion U.S. dollars.

Then, claiming that to adjust the U.S. foreign strategy of Barack Obama, for the defense budget, why not only does not reduce, but do continue to increase investment? Through a detailed analysis, we find that the new budget than in previous years has shown two main characteristics: First, cut to cope with large-scale conventional war, the development of high-tech projects, in turn, increased combat weapons procurement; second is to increase investment in the war (on the Iranian-Afghan basis of the two places for the 130 billion U.S. dollars investment in the future may also be additional).

Specifically, the bill reduced the number of major projects, in addition to abandon the purchase of 20 million F-22 fighter jets and cut a new destroyer DDG-1000 procurement quantity (per vessel cost of five billion U.S. dollars) at a cost of 160 billion U.S. dollars of “future combat system “R & D projects are to delete the column. In addition, a cost of 13 billion U.S. dollars canceled the presidential helicopter project, a new transport projects and a senior military satellite development program.

Increased funding for the project and which do? Mainly aimed at other than the threat of large-scale war. For example: the purchase of multi-purpose F-35 fighter jets (estimated from 68 billion to 11.2 billion), Littoral Combat Ships and for front-line combat helicopters; to continue research and development deal with roadside bombs, anti-landmine ambush vehicles; the purchase of used to monitor front of the 50 “Predator” unmanned aerial vehicle (20 million).

At the same time, the new budget also plans to stop the curtailment of the Air Force and Navy personnel, the Army and Marine Corps will be an addendum to 65000 and 2.7 million people in response to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan stretched situation.

China and Russia issued a tough signal to reduce the global capacity to intervene increased rather than decreased

Not difficult to see, as opposed to the Bush administration, Obama’s new defense budget, more inclined to respond to real threats rather than potential rivals (such as China and Russia). This is because, to the U.S. military advantage, that is, using the current equipment, in the next few decades, will continue to “uncontested top dog.” On the other hand, roadside bombs and sniper fire has continued to take away the lives of U.S. soldiers, so Obama’s defense policy adjustment is clearly more in line with the realities of U.S. interests, but also more popular. Just as Obama in the White House said at the signing ceremony, the bill “Reaffirming the national security and the expansion of military personnel and their dependents to ensure the rights and interests of the determination, and to respond to the military challenges of the 21st century, provide the necessary investment”, which for the Budget in the United States to secure the moral support.

As opposed to the Bush administration’s aggressive strategy, Obama did a lot of adjustments, such as no longer to deploy anti-missile system in Poland, Russia and other countries to reduce threats signals. Nevertheless, the U.S. defense budget is still growing that its ability to intervene in global affairs is not only not diminished, but overall increase – both in the prevention of long-term strategic threat, one-upmanship, the war in response to a specific and more comfortably. This rest of the world is concerned, is a blessing or a curse premature.

Russian Ministry of Defense admitted: Russia has been unable to produce new weapons – To be imported from abroad

Nov 1

Posted by admin in Observers, Weapons | Comments off

Medvedev test Sniper Rifle“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.

Blizzard, the space shuttleOctober 30, according to published “Global Times” reported that the Russian spaceship on the 28th of declared nuclear program, the West generally are not optimistic. Associated Press article stated: Russia’s aspirations with its space marked contrast to the actual situation in Russia is still in use 40 years ago on the use of “union” of rockets and spacecraft, a new generation of conventional thrust of rocket and spacecraft planned for the foreseeable future, do not see the hope of being approved. Therefore, the Russian Space Agency plans to sound more like is to ask the government funding, rather than a detailed proposal.

China Academy of Space Technology researcher Pang Zhihao accept the “Global Times” reporter, said the United States has long raised the spacecraft’s nuclear program, but later had to run aground, because the nuclear spaceship to face a series of technical problems, if it is used to fly go to Mars, even if it is normal for the space crew during the flight caused by radiation has also shot eight times per day X-ray film, if a failure occurs, it is fatal.

Pang Zhihao said that Russia’s current nuclear spacecraft program, “simply can not produce anything,” the United States taking 18 billion U.S. dollars a year investment in the aerospace industry, but also think it is an additional 3 billion. Russia simply do not have this economic strength, and Russian are also some plans on paper. Earlier, Russia clamored to spend 15 billion rubles put a man on Mars, but eventually dropped.
