"Over 2300 modern tanks will go to the troops in the next 10 years"
Uralvagonzavod - the only manufacturer of armored vehicles in Russia - will always be in demand by the country. This is once again confirmed by the article “To be strong: guarantees of national security for Russia,” published by the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
According to the Prime Minister, “the task of the coming decade is to enable the new structure of the Armed Forces to rely on fundamentally new equipment. It shoots more precisely at a technique that “sees” further, reacts faster than similar systems of any potential adversary. ”
In the very near future - by 2013 - Uralvagonzavod will present a fundamentally new combat vehicle; two years later it is planned to change the whole tank the lineup. A universal combat platform will be created on which all types of weapons associated with tracked vehicles will be placed. And the new machine, created taking into account all the requirements of the Ministry of Defense, of course, must be in demand by the state. “Over the next decade, more than 2300 modern tanks will enter the troops,” the article says.
The state support of the army and the military-industrial complex was also announced: “We have adopted and are implementing unprecedented programs for the development of the Armed Forces and for the modernization of the defense-industrial complex of Russia. In total, in the coming decade, about 23 trillion rubles will be allocated for these purposes. ” The funds will go to the development of Uralvagonzavod. Vladimir Putin is convinced: “no“ point ”purchase of military equipment and equipment can replace our production of our own types of weapons, but can only serve as a basis for obtaining technology and knowledge ... I want to emphasize once again - we will focus on re-equipping the Russian military-industrial complex and our scientific base. "
Therefore, Vladimir Putin draws particular attention to the need for a large-scale modernization of the defense-industrial complex: “The defense industry is our pride, here is concentrated the most powerful intellectual and scientific and technical potential. But we must speak directly about the accumulated problems. In fact, over the past 30 years, domestic defense centers and enterprises have missed several cycles of modernization. Over the coming decade, we must fully make up this gap. " Today, Uralvagonzavod has already begun to implement this task: large-scale technical re-equipment of the existing production is in full swing at the enterprises of the corporation to produce better and more competitive products.
Uralvagonzavod will live and develop - its modernization potential and new promising developments are necessary for the Russian Army.
