Almaz-Antey promises to deliver C-500 in time

The development of an air defense missile system (anti-aircraft missile system) of the new generation C-500 takes place in accordance with the deadlines specified in the State Armaments Program until the 2020 of the year. This was stated by Yuri Baikov, who is the official representative of the Almaz-Antey air defense concern.

Such a statement was made after a detailed article appeared in the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper, which spoke about the concern's problems associated with the development of C-500, as well as about the inevitable disruption of the State defense order for this new anti-aircraft missile system. It is planned that C-500 will be involved in the EKO (Aerospace Defense) of the Russian Federation, covering the entire territory of the country.

According to Yuri Baikov, the development of working design documentation for air defense systems and its components is being developed. Next year, prototypes of individual elements of the C-500 air defense system will be ready.

Baikov noted that this is a confirmation that all the existing obligations of the concern to the Russian Ministry of Defense under the state armament program up to 2020 of the year related to the supply of the C-500 air defense system will be completed on time and with the “necessary quality”.

On Friday, the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper reported that the fulfillment of election promises by the head of the Russian government, Vladimir Putin, concerning strengthening the military power of the Russian Federation by supplying a huge amount of modern weapons to the army before 2020, could be foiled. This is due to the fact that defense professionals simply have nowhere to create the latest technology: the production areas are owned by merchants who manage auto services and nightclubs.

The newspaper stated that the Concern PVO Almaz-Antey OJSC is a vivid example of the degradation of the military-industrial complex. Employees of this company complain that the process of assembling new complexes becomes impossible, since a significant part of the enterprise’s space is leased by new owners, and the assembly shops have been sold off. Today, only 152 is owned by 11 buildings.

Engineers of the plant developer do not hide the fact that the assembly of the C-500 complex is in jeopardy.

One of the company's employees, Yevgeny Nikiforov, winner of the State Prize, said that the 14 assembly workshop, where the development of samples of all air defense systems was taking place, now houses a nightclub that has the longest bar in Europe and a large concert hall.

Employees blame Igor Ashurbeyli, the former director of the Almaz-Antey enterprise, for all these troubles of the concern. While he does not comment on it. The authorities have also not responded to the complaints of workers.

Back in February, there were rumors that the delivery of C-500 ZRS missiles into service shifted from 2015 to 2017. Moreover, it was said that it was the disruption of last year's state order and significant delays in the development of C-500, which were the main reasons why Ashurbeyli lost his position.

However, the military denies information about existing problems with C-500. The other day, Colonel General Alexander Zelin, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force of the Russian Federation, said that the development of the C-500 air defense system is proceeding exactly on schedule.

Earlier, in November last year, Army General Nikolai Makarov, who is the chief of the Russian General Staff, reported that the creation of the C-500 will take place at two new Almaz-Antey factories, which will be built within two years in Kirov and Nizhny Novgorod and will be launched in 2015 year.

It’s easier to build new workshops than to kick out merchants by law. The legacy of the 90s and early 2000s. The state began to bankrupt, and then bought out the defense industry. It is impossible that the defense industry be in watch hands. Komersant can be sold at any time for green candy wrappers ......

If there is a state will, it’s easy to prove Hodor’s example. By the way, the phrase "And they will not take (give, return) we will turn off the gas (electricity, heating, etc.)" has not lost its relevance in modern realities

Surround, the USSR is no more, you overslept ...
February 20, 2012: Vladimir Putin emphasizes that "the development of the defense industry alone by the state is ineffective now, but in the medium term it is economically impossible."

Otherwise, according to your logic, let's start buying up the world defense industry, and we will buy Lockheed Martin, and BAE Systems, and Hecker & Koch at the same time ... Are they "comMersants" ready to sell at any moment for green candy wrappers? Unfortunately, there will be no economic growth in Russia without "commercialists". Corrupt, greedy and evil agents of the State Department who dream of destroying the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation.

In principle, this should not have happened at all. Yes, in Moscow, everything is possible, some "democrats" only wander the streets in crowds. Moscow in the understanding of the Russian hinterland has long been the "center of evil" in Russia

Totally agree!
But the news is kind of scanty, they would give a full and detailed interview with Baykov, and then it could be compared with an article in MK, but what Nikiforov told the news did not cause something, a common thing for "modern reformers" !!!
And I especially liked the name of the general director, a truly Russian person !!! (I ask you not to summarize nationalism and Russophobia, a simple statement of fact)
Here is what Yury Baykov, the official representative of the concern, said today:
According to him, the concern is currently developing working design documentation for the system and its components. Prototypes of individual elements of the S-500 will be manufactured in 2013. "This gives us grounds to assert that the obligations of the Almaz-Antey air defense concern to the Russian Ministry of Defense within the framework of GPV-2020 for the supply of the new generation S-500 anti-aircraft missile system will be fulfilled on time and with the required quality," Baikov said.
The representative also said that in order to produce promising arms and military equipment of the 4th-5th generations, major investment projects are underway to build two new assembly plants in Nizhny Novgorod and Kirov. To date, their design has been completed and preparatory work is underway at construction sites. Projects are planned to be completed in 2015.
In 2011, the total costs of Almaz-Antey on innovative development amounted to 26,8 billion rubles. Including for the construction of new factories and the North-West Center in St. Petersburg, 5,3 billion rubles were allocated, and the company spent 4,3 billion rubles on the technical re-equipment of existing production facilities. The concern's investments in promising research and development projects in 2011 amounted to 13,7 billion rubles, another 700 million rubles were allocated to create a problem-oriented supercomputer for modeling and processing radar data.
According to the annual report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern was ranked 2010th in 100 among the XNUMX largest world arms manufacturers.

[Piligrim]

And what is the director of a state enterprise or engineer with his stable zp can't sell?

[asavchenko59]

Where is the guarantee that these traitors will not privatize / sell newly built production facilities? There are no such guarantees!

[ShOoMok]

A lot of money is being allocated to the defense industry and they stubbornly do not see the problems they are facing.
OJSC Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern OJSC is creating the future shield of Russia, but at the same time, as stated in the article, only 152 out of 11 buildings are owned by the enterprise.

it’s right to consider them enemies of the people and expel such commerce from defense factories without trial and investigation, and start puffing up consider them marauders and saboteurs to send them to the Old Man and smear them on their foreheads with greens, since Belarusians do not particularly fiddle with such

Of the 152 buildings owned by the enterprise, only 11.

It seems that Rogozin will regulate such issues, a clear search in the mess

[grizzlir]

How did Rogozin regulate? Previously, you had to think when the shops were sold and rented out. Now capitalism and the main goal are making profit. Or do you think that they will read the new owners a fiery speech about the security of the country and they will free up the space occupied in a fit of patriotic feelings. and they’ll release them, the equipment was definitely not preserved there. These are the consequences of the privatization and withdrawal of strategic defense enterprises from state ownership.
Somehow I had to travel on the SAPSAN train on the SPB-Moscow route. I was next to one interesting person, an aircraft engine designer. The designer wasn’t leading, but his department was developing a configuration of controlled nozzles for jet engines. Forgive me if I am mistaken in technical terms. So he complained that to produce these same nozzles, you need a special alloy of metal, and the only enterprise where it is possible to cast them was bought by one western company. They do not refuse to produce these nozzles, only they have orders for several years in advance from the same foreign companies and, at best, you can there will be something to do in a year and a half. Everything is by law.

In the middle of the 2000s, Ilyin's cool broadcast on the first channel "Shock Power" was on. It hasn't been aired for three years - which is a pity. There was a cycle of broadcasts about high technologies - and so it was said that by 1200 Russia had lost 15 high technologies (not only sold it, but lost it in the sense of a lack of a qualified workforce who could produce it in kind). Figs with him with workshops and equipment, it can be built and purchased. Raising a highly skilled worker or engineer is the problem (you need at least 8 years). This is not for you to cook three-year-old managers. He worked in ship repair for 6 years - I saw a turner of the 1th category of only XNUMX person - he was the most literate man - he got up such baubles on the machine. And now they cannot grind a bolt turner.
Here is such a chip with us - now figure out how quickly we can rearm.

In general, wait and see.

[rolik]

These issues are resolved through the prosecutor's office. And if the state needs it, then it will be solved correctly.

[El13]

Cool, I also had to take a ride in the upper class once in SAPSAN and also ran into four military developers, two of whom were from one design bureau, two others from another, by chance they met there, talked, I listened to them and realized that now everything was spinning around - spinning in development. I was glad to myself, but then I read that this is not an accident, it constantly turns up and down, it pleases even more.

[Brother Sarych]

On mature reflection - the optimism of the Moscow Region looks clearly inappropriate! The situation is fraught ...

[Juga]

On the issue of the number of leased workshops, I will not say for sure, but my aunt, working at Obukhovsky, says that most of them are used non-core, which is clearly not good.
But recently, driving along the ring road, opposite the CHP, I noticed that new buildings are shining with new signs "Almaz Anteya", that is, some kind of movement is going on ...

And in comparison with the nineties there is a difference - at aunt's house there are still about 60 (sixty) zero irons, issued in those years instead of a salary.

[mox]

And what will be the range of missiles? And are there any?
or will they be used from the S-300, as in the S-400 complex?

[gothic2m]

The question is very interesting, but there is very little information about the S-500, so all that I write here is just an assumption.


Purpose of the S-500 air defense system:
1. The defeat of ballistic missiles with a range of up to 3500 km and speeds up to 5 km / s;
2. The defeat of more advanced ballistic goals, possibly in the future (hypothetically);
3. The defeat of aerodynamic targets;
4. The defeat of air command posts and aircraft AWACS;
5. The defeat of high-speed aerodynamic targets (hypothetically);
6. The defeat of the satellite (hypothetically);

In any case, the S-500 will be able to use the entire S-400 arsenal including 40N6 with a range of 400 km. But if for the S-400 this is the limit, then for the S-500 it is only the closest line of defense against ballistic missiles. It can be assumed that at least one more missile is being developed for the S-500, possibly two. One can only speculate about the characteristics. The only thing known for sure: this (s) rocket (s) must have a speed of at least 7km / s. If Almaz-Antey achieves this, it will be possible to assert with confidence that the S-500 will be able to destroy any ballistic missiles, including ICBMs.

[deoman]

I study at such a plant in Moscow NIEMI, we have a faculty there. So, at the expense of Diamond, we made repairs in all classrooms! Now we don’t freeze in winter :) And it seems like they make a laboratory. This is certainly good, but only the majority of workers at this enterprise are grandparents. And the territory itself has now been divided in half, put up a fence, and as I understand it, they are going to lease. I can’t say what is happening, I hope this is all done for the good. But the fact that we are not standing still is for sure.
As for the young specialists, I can say for sure that from my generation, now people are being recruited there every year, although once there was a big break. And it seems, as our freshmen are now, they are even going in the target direction, i.e. then they will work there. So do not worry everything is good!

[Alexasmi]

Deoman, unfortunately not everything is as good as you write. As I understand you are studying at the faculty of the Moscow State Technical University. Bauman, as I did before. I just studied on the territory of the plant behind the "wall" from NIEMI, where I work now. I constantly communicate with the employees of the Almaz-Antey Design Bureau. Young specialists come to the design bureau of course, but they just run away quickly, because salaries for them, as beginners, are small. And so you want everything at once. A couple of "peppers" just told me that they would sell more on Gorbushka in a week ... As a result of the constant rotation of young animals, there are practically no real specialists. such a specialist will turn out only after trips to the landfill and "wiping off the snot" on the real equipment. And this is not a matter of one year. Those who just sit in the wings will never be real specialists.
By the way, for some reason the management of the Almaz-Antey design bureau got some water in their mouths about the S-500, but the people who milk this design bureau - read the concern, happily report ... Well, that's it, information for thought.

[Roman A]

deoman study well for you all hope than we can help me plus

The new system will have some properties of a deterrent weapon, and the sooner our troops are equipped with it, the less anyone will have a desire to measure strength

[Andriuha077]

All these destructive stories have been exacerbated precisely in the last decade. Impunity for criminal inaction, when nepotism is a priority over everything except the schedule of denationalization - when it is delayed, the collapse of the State Department threatens foreign accounts, and by no means with white ribbons.
Rejoice, bad guys: now the process has been extended for another 6-12 years.

[755962]

What is more important for the state, defense or private interests of hucksters? The question is clear as daylight. And the plant will be built. Earlier, in mid-November, the chief of the Russian General Staff, General of the Army Nikolai Makarov, announced that the S-500 would be created at two new Almaz-Antey plants "- they are planned to be built within two years in Nizhny Novgorod and Kirov and to be launched in 2015.

[BMW]

Do you already prepare personnel for these plants? Or will we build factories with new equipment for 2-3 years, and then sell them again to commerce for bars and markets? Any fool (or almost any) can build a plant and start equipment, and can he pick up, run staff at the factory, rally it into a team? After all, the complex will be crude and bring to mind will have to be in production and in the army, this is also at least 2-3 years.
Now let's calculate:
1. Build a plant, install equipment - 2 years (in fact, 4 years will go.).
2. Launch pilot production, debug - a year.
3. Development of the complex with tests - 2-3 years minimum.
In total, the complex will go into mass production at least with the best scenario in 5 years. But in fact, 7-8 years will be required, if you do not take into account disgust in the country.

[Wolkin]

Another plus from me! Not a minute of time should be missed, even on a national scale. And we still have a talking shop - "there must be this, there must be this.

About technology ... I broke a Philips brand kitchen machine ... There’s a tricky gear ... Well .... I gave it to Samara Aviation ... They didn’t ... Kuznetsov factory passed by ...

And about everything else there is the word Sabotage .... only gentlemen saboteurs didn’t read articles about bees and honey ... and if they did, they thought nonsense ... But in vain ...

[Dmitry_24rus]

As for the S-500, there are big doubts about what they will do and they will be in the troops until 2020.
Maybe someone will clarify, with us, s-400, how many really are hundreds on the database? 1 or 2?

[urzul]

The 4 division is already standing and in 2012 there will still be 3 in service, one division is a minimum of 12 PU and support vehicles.

[Ark]

And how many divisions are needed per country? 4 divisions will hardly even save Putin.

[viruskvartirus]

Damn, they would have appeared faster ... because according to the capabilities of C-500, it is simply fantastic ... the necessary complex ... very necessary ...

[PARTISAN]

S-500 is a means of aerospace defense. Fifth generation weapons come to the rescue of the triumphant S-400. The new complex - protection ahead of twenty years. The fact is that the weapons that the S-500 will withstand have not yet been built. It is only on a pencil with potential friends overseas. The development of the system in the design office is in its third year. According to some “leaked” data, the S-500 will have a fundamentally new layout of “trunks” - two more will be added to the four traditional ones. Triumph’s electronic equipment will be able to sort out targets in a matter of seconds by importance and determine which one — a strategic bomber, fighter, cruise missile or other missile — must first be destroyed. Instead of 6 (like the S-400), he will be able to hit 10 targets almost simultaneously. The height of the lesion is from 50 meters to 30 kilometers. The range of hitting the target is more than 300 km. ” However, in what can the fundamental novelty of the system be expressed? So far, from the available data, we can only say about a natural increase in the combat capabilities characteristic of any new weapon model, but no more. It is possible that this very novelty will consist in equipping the complex with the latest radars, for example, based on an active phased array antenna (AFAR), but another option will be possible, since this technology is still very expensive. Or the main highlight of the complex will be new generation rockets, so far these are only assumptions, but still as an option. In order to meet the enthusiastic reviews given by both developers and dedicated specialists, the complex really needs to be unique in every way. On the one hand, there is no reason not to trust them, because everyone knows what the S-400 is. One can’t but rejoice at this example of Soviet-Russian engineering, which has long been seen in a dream by all the heads of state of the Middle East, who criticize US policy, for only it is a 100% effective remedy for the peddlers of “American democracy”. On the other hand, in order to justify the hopes placed on it, the S-500 really should be able to reach near space and equally effectively deal with any targets from airplanes and UAVs of any size to cruise and conventional missiles. So whether it will actually only time will tell.

[viruskvartirus]

"The fact that the weapon, which the S-500 will oppose, has not yet been built" this is nothing, and "to amuse the nails with a microscope"))) for that the pilots of the Avax will feel very uncomfortable ...

[AK-74-1]

C-500 complex is necessary and seemingly fantastic characteristics are quite realizable. Now about the bad. I don’t know how about Kirov’s account, but the plant in Nizhnovg will not be allowed to go to 2015 unambiguously, because in its place there is an old plant larger than the planned new one. Under the current poor management of the concern, squandering money and the outflow of skilled workers, C-500 will be done only for 2030. There are materials on embezzlement of budgetary funds in the internet (see, for example, Karaulov).
Sorry pent. I myself worked for a long time with FSUE and FKP because of awareness, I still will not be able to travel abroad for 3 a year (except for Ukraine, where so far they are releasing).

[PARTISAN]

... why the S-400 complex does not enter the troops:

- And what for it is old stuff if there is an S-500.

- And why does the s-500 not arrive?

- Yes, nafig, if the S-600 is about to be.

“Will the S-600 come in?”

- Yes nafig, we plan to supply S-700 immediately. Moreover, in the modification of the S-800, brought to the level of the S-900 ...

The main thing is that by 2020 the rearmament was completed. Russia needs a modern and strong army!

Here is what Igor Korotchenko writes in his diary:

http://i-korotchenko.livejournal.com/408015.html

Russian Federation v. Igor Ashurbeyli[center] [/ center]

i_korotchenko
March 15th, 20: 16

I already wrote in my blog that the Almaz-Antey GSKB team and the Almazov veterans have the right to raise the question of what happened to the property complex of the enterprise during the ten years of Igor Ashurbeyli's CEO. I raised the same question at a meeting in Sarov with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who said that corruption in the military-industrial complex should be equated with high treason. Putin took my words very seriously and instructed Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin to conduct the necessary investigation.

In the meantime, the staff of the Almaz_Antey State Design Bureau expressed their position on this issue, having contacted the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.

We are waiting tomorrow for an official reaction to the article in the "MK" of top officials of the state, as well as the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation.


The pride of the country's largest defense company is the longest bar counter in Europe

The tasks of the Russian defense industry to rearm our army are striking in their scale. The country's leadership voices such numbers of deliveries of the latest weapons that we have not heard in the last 30 — 40 years.

The only question is who will produce all this wonderful technology. What remains of the once-most powerful defense industry in the world? The MK journalist tried to find out by visiting one of the leading Russian defense enterprises. And it turned out that now here:

- instead of the assembly shop - a disco with the longest bar counter in Europe;

- experimental models of equipment rot on the street under the snow;

- developers of unique weapons are forced to pay merchants to rent their own premises once.

And the worst thing is that this situation is not an exception for defense industry enterprises today ...

The presidential election took place. The winner is determined. It's time to remember his campaign promises.

In one of the program articles of our future president, it was stated that the Russian defense industry, whose products the Ministry of Defense doesn’t want to buy today, will perform the familiar maneuver in the next decade - it will rise from its knees thanks to 23 pumped into it by trillions of rubles. As a result, by the 2020 year, the army will receive a sea of ​​the latest weapons, including: 28 regiment kits of the C-400 and 38 divisions of the Vityaz anti-aircraft missile systems.
So here. Today it’s clear: it won’t.

It would seem: what right does an ordinary journalist have to not believe the words of the president? What are the reasons for this?

There are reasons. And very good ...

The other day, an old acquaintance of mine from the enterprise where the famous C-300 and C-400 systems make me called: “We have problems. After your interview with our CEO, where he said that the terms for the development of C-500 had to be extended by two years, people are worried, they want to talk, come. "

... About fifteen people sat in the hall of the head system design bureau (GSKB) Almaz-Antey: designers, engineers, former military men, young specialists, veterans, state award laureates in the field of creating air defense weapons ... They answered my question how I can help : we want to be heard.
The conversation was difficult. Here is its contents with some notes.

OKB Deputy Head Vladimir Selivanov: Today we are actually starting to disrupt developments in the field of aerospace defense (EKO). And first of all it concerns the Vityaz system. If it does not replace C-300, the country's defense will be reduced to zero. Now we must carry out a comprehensive setup of the tools of this system, prepare it for testing, and we have nowhere to do it! Our equipment was thrown into the street where it stands, covered with snow! Well, you can’t lay cables in cabs in winter - this is a violation of technology. And we were left without assembly shops! They were sold out. The one who did this did not rob us, he robbed the country!

Laureate of the State Prize Evgeny Nikiforov: I have been working here for 60 years, since 1951 of the year. In our main 14 assembly shop, where samples of all air defense systems were born, from C-75 to C-400, there is now a huge concert hall and night club with the longest bar in Europe ...

MK: And you only found out about it yesterday? Privatization of the “defense industry” began back in the “dashing 90”, so why did the theme of lost property so acutely arise only now?



Chief Engineer, Deputy General Director Viktor Nichiporuk (opening a thick folder with the privatization plan): “Dashing 90-e” has nothing to do with it. In 1995, Almaz turned from a state-owned enterprise into a joint-stock company. But then everything was done legally. The state transferred to Almaz the ownership of 152 buildings - from small power substations to huge, as the main building, with an area of ​​45 000 square. m. Now from 152 left 11.

MK: And you have not seen how such volumes of property “float away”? I personally remember well how in 2002, having visited Almaz, I was surprised at the huge number of companies that were then sitting on its squares. They explained to me: the state budget does not give money, there is nothing to live, and if it weren’t for Igor Ashurbeyli, then the general director of Almaz, who, at the expense of the tenants, had actually saved the enterprise, Almaz would have sunk into oblivion long ago.

The chief designer of the Center MNIIRE "Altair" Arkady Yezhov: Not true! Almaz survived only thanks to a Chinese order! If not for this trade ... But even then, despite the fact that rabid grandmothers appeared, the entire infrastructure was destroyed. And the price that the Chinese paid for our weapons, and the salaries that we got here, were absolutely incommensurable.

General Director of GSKB Almaz-Antey Vitaly Neskorodov: Supplies to China on the subject of air defense in the 2000's really allowed us to survive those sad times, otherwise now there would be solid night clubs everywhere.

Victor Nichiporuk: I still can’t refuse Ashurbeyli that Almaz was saved by his energy and efficiency. But this coin has two sides. After all, Almaz leased premises to Ashurbeyli. But did not sell. But it was under him that the sale of diamond property acquired a large-scale character. And I am firmly convinced that he used his official position for personal purposes, since indirectly he was in charge of the bulk of the property of the enterprise. In one of the interviews, he himself says: "The VPK holding owned by me." This is where the companies that are now endowed with the former property of Almaz enter. The very same "Diamond" has only 14% of its former property.

MK: How did the board of directors allow it, which included government officials of the highest rank?

Victor Nichiporuk: I am sure that all transactions with property are legally clean.

MK: And the enterprise team didn’t know about them?

GSKB General Director Vitaly Neskorodov: The team is not an entity that participates in such decisions. Moreover, initially this was not connected with the purchase of shares. Their controlling stake has always been owned by the state. Metamorphoses with property are things of a different plan. The main transactions, as a result of which Almaz lost its production facilities, took place in 2001. The owner changed only on paper: yesterday the certificate had one face, and today it is different. At the same time, the property seemed to go nowhere, but was sold to the subsidiary KB-1, founded by Almaz in 1998 and owning 51% of the shares in it. It was later that all 100% of KB-1 shares through a number of firms ended up with Ashurbeyli.

Engineer from the Council of Young Specialists: For the time being, no one knew anything, because the new owner didn’t touch anyone, didn’t drive anyone, I think for some time he didn’t even take rent. Everything surfaced only now, when the general director was replaced.

MK: But is it possible to conduct such transactions, bypassing the meeting of shareholders? Given the specifics of your enterprise, the main shareholder of Almaz is the state ...

Neskorodov: ... represented by a specific representative, for example, the Ministry of Property. He voted “for” - the deal was completed.

MK: Do you see a corruption component here?

Neskorodov: If you look at the prices at which the property was disposed of, I can’t suggest another. For example, on April 27 of the 2001 of the year, Almaz transferred to KB-1 a real estate with an area of ​​more than 85 800 sq. m for 69 910 000 rub., that is, at the average price of 814 rub. per sq. m. At that time, the minimum value of transactions in the market for such real estate was 10 200 rubles. per sq. m. And now we are forced to rent from "KB-1" more than 13 000 square. m square. In the 2011 year, it cost us 40 million rubles.

MK: Why did Almaz need to establish KB-1? Does this seem to be a historical brand? When the Moscow Air Defense was created in the 50's, the design bureau of the same name was headed by Lavrenty Beria. It then received a special status ...

Vladimir Selivanov: ... And now too. The current KB-1 was formed in such a way that when the Almaz-Antey concern was formed, it continued to remain an independent structure. And part of the intellectual property on C-400 was to belong not to the concern, but to KB-1.

Chief Engineer: Inaccurate expressions ... The Ministry of Defense is the owner of the documentation for the C-400 command post (CP).

Vladimir Selivanov: Yes, but Igor Raufovich and I spent 8 years dealing with issues of individual property - he was very interested in them. So: what is an individual property for our systems? The software we invest in them. And one of the tasks was: to make sure that this property, or at least part of it, did not belong to either the Ministry of Defense or the concern. But it turned out to be difficult ...

I do not presume to assess the situation in the Almaz-Antey concern, but I read lectures for 8 years at a branch of our university at one of their enterprises, and noticed a sad pattern. There is a plant, research institutes and management. So the directorate grew fat by leaps and bounds - repairs one after another, limousines at the building .... The plant lived more or less normally, not luxurious, but lived, only the workers are mostly elderly. And the scientific research institute just bent over and seemed to be bent completely, only the drawing boards (!) Stand in empty corridors .... The question is, if we interpolate this tendency for 10 years ahead, where will the concern come?

[bremest]

There is a solution to the problem - tax inspections of nightclubs and businessmen, additional taxes, fines, penalties, seizure of club buildings and during the year the buildings will be returned to the state in compensation for damage. Need political will.

This is another case where administrative
terror and economic terror !!!

This one was given, these were rented - all the "grandmothers" were knocked out,
good things come in small packages !
All leases must be terminated without any
compensation and premises must be restored at the expense of
tenants, IN CONNECTION WITH STATE NECESSITY !!!

But you don’t have to be surprised! All defense industry enterprises these 20 years only
on this and survived and survive!
The same assholes (administrations - "leading specialists" ???)
promised all twenty years ACTION from day to day!
Many did not wait, because of the pasture to retirement.

And they instead of specialists from enterprises organize
pull out production, anything (our Soviet engineer could do anything
anything, unlike managers, lawyers, economists, etc.), all
fired, so that they got more shares !!!

This is how the COMPADOR BOURGEOISE by the hands of the ADMINISTRATIVE
-The ECONOMIC DEVICE destroyed the military-industrial complex!
And now all that’s left is going to be privatized!

TESTIMONIAL, as a participant and a victim,
former in the midst of these events !!!
He himself advised the administration about what is happening in our country.
They respectfully listened to me and, then, until 2009, all greetings were given,
until they sold everything that was possible, they "piled" from the enterprise,
never waiting for corporatization!

Good people explain the difference between the future s-500 and Aegis. And where then are we with our s-400 if their system is already knocking down satellites at an altitude of more than 100 km.

[Alexasmi]

Do not confuse air defense systems (s-400) and anti-aircraft defense systems (Aegis). An analogue in the air defense for the S-400 is the advertised "Patriot" of various modifications. As for the S-500, the difference with the Aegis is still quite simple: the Aegis exists in reality and is already shooting, the S-500 is a virtual system that so far exists only on paper. Communicating with the developers of Almaz, when asked about the S-500, they only giggle or twist their fingers at their temples: it’s like crazy sho whether, the S-400 hasn’t been brought to mind yet ...

[Pessimist]

Vvo, pranksters !!! It was only heard that for the S-400 MISCELLANEOUS MISSILES ARE UNDERFINED, and only the RESEARCH RESEARCH is being conducted on the S-500 !!! And almost on duty! Doctors all this !!! Fantasy Serdyukov and other budget thieves! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SUCH A SYSTEM IN THE ARMY ....

[Honory]

Well, it is necessary to sell the factory for the production of air defense systems. And now build new ones. We know these new buildings.
