Military Review

What is the defense, when instead of factories shopping centers

47
SPEC channel continues to publish video materials, which contain the opinions of retired military and political figures about the state of the Armed Forces of Russia. In the next video on this topic, the opinion of Viktor Alksnis (retired colonel), who at one time was a deputy of the State Duma of Russia of the III and IV convocations, is presented.


According to Alksnis, many today misinterpret the state of affairs in the Russian army, declaring its rebirth. He argues that the revival of the combat potential of the army is impossible without a strong defense industry.

Alksnis:
No one will argue that we have carried out reindustrialization, hundreds and thousands of factories are working around the clock, releasing Tanks, missile planes, and that we can destroy an adversary in a matter of minutes.


According to Alksnis, there is practically no defense industry in Russia today. On the site of factories in many cities, shopping and office centers are open. At the moment, Russian enterprises are able to produce no more than 20% components for electronic equipment.

Alksnis:
We often do not know that in those chips that we bought and bought abroad, in the West. What are the "bookmarks" there are.


Alksnis states that foreign components are practically everywhere on Russian military equipment, and no one knows what a surprise they can give in the case of real hostilities.

    Alksnis states that foreign components are practically everywhere on Russian military equipment, and no one knows what a surprise they can give in the case of real hostilities.

    Anyone who worked at military factories knows very well what a "surprise" foreign components can present, especially during the war! You don't even need a big mind here. The Soviet defense industry has always strived for self-sufficiency.
    Well, here, for example, Why did the Chinese defense industry manufacturers use and use the experience of the Soviet military-industrial complex and categorically evade the use of foreign components on their military equipment?
    Because:
    1. There are fewer liberoid traitors to their country in the PRC in power "from top" to "bottom". than in Russia. There, corrupt officials, "idiots" are simply shot by thousands!
    2. In the PRC, there are no "top" people with dual or more citizenship, as well as their pro-Western lobbyists.
    3. The Chinese have studied and are learning from strangers - Russian - mistakes and do not commit their own.

          Yeah, but the "Irkut" produced the Su-27 and nobody destroyed it. Probably because the Su-27 is a thing, and the Yak-38 is not needed by anyone, like the Yak-40.

      the fact that import is on our products, especially electronics, is known to everyone, everything is against, except for the government and the Moscow region, which maintain this order. During the oil and gas money rain since 2000, you could just buy several komputerof factories and everything would be different, but Putin with comrades need it? For him, the main rating is 70% and pension reform for the people.

      Different components are, in electronics, some basically safe (like passive radioelements), others extremely dangerous (like chip and stuff ..) in Russia, in today's device and government, it’s not possible to reach a self-sufficient level, therefore cooperate with allies, China ... But the first thing to expel the fifth liberal selling column from the government, which today is almost impossible. The same government has been ruining the country for decades and there are no consequences for it, for it is deplorable for the state ...

    What can we talk about if, during the construction of the Evropeisky shopping center in Moscow, on the Kievsky railway station square, the metro station burst in half, I observed a crack in the dubing lining for several months, at the same time the FSB warned the media that there was a warning in the media (!) that the construction will lead to a man-made disaster ... But the owners, and these are Mountain Jews partners, the Year of Nisanov, Telman Ismailov, Yakub Yakubov, everything was in no way, they successfully rebuilt the shopping center and created a Permanent Station for Ethnic Crime Groups in the Caucasus in Moscow. No one will remember that the development of the square was forbidden by the Glavmosarchitecture, etc. ... they gave grandmas, everyone shut up. There are hundreds of cases when ethnic gangs slaughtered passers-by in broad daylight ... Ismailov calmly dumped Cherkizon over a hill, and the rest do business in Russia without problems. And the former old man Baturin! Working as the mayor of Moscow, he decided with the authorities to completely transfer all the best defense enterprises out of Moscow. And the huge Sukhoi complex, after taking away tses, warehouses, the airfield from which repair factory crews flew under the USSR, ceased to exist, tell me which skilled workers and scientists will go to live and work in the village of Lukhovitsy? So our power is the power of grocers and cardinals. Unfortunately, the end will be the same. hi Buanosier!

    When the president of Russia was DAM, various sources reported that many strategic enterprises were destroyed under his signature, and his business lives on. For example, who remembers, there was a transfer of a strategic enterprise in Akhtubinsk for the production of rocket shells to Gazprom? It is poor for him that he doesn’t know that all the best practices, experience, cannot just be transferred to Kirov, where Kamennvy Flower still doesn’t go out!

    Well, right in Zyuganov's way, "Give guns instead of butter!" good
    "The defense is still more alive than all the living!" laughing
    And if they shut down a hundred or two enterprises, then there were unprofitable enterprises that produced products either using technologies from the times of "DiP", or unclaimed by the market, which, I recall, collapsed with the collapse of the USSR.

    Have caught on! From the late eighties to the zero, everything was left to chance, including the military-industrial complex. A wild conversion, which was carried out by the enterprises themselves, under the encouraging calls of the liberals in the government, the sale, unbundling, or even simply the closure of key export enterprises. For Gaidar, Chubais and other "guardians" of the transition to market relations, the main thought was the destruction of the legacy of the USSR. Popular thought aptly emphasized: to break is not to build. Now what we have is what we have. We are scratching ourselves out, in fact, in splendid isolation: we build, modernize, create, develop under sanctions and the hooting of "partners and friends" from the West. So we got real capitalism with its uneven development and conflicts. Would you like to be smarter than the classics of Marxism-Leninism? Get it !. For that fought for it and ran. And there is nothing to blame on Putin and hang all the dogs. He already does a lot, albeit not without mistakes and not so quickly, and in his team there are different people and not all of his sincere supporters.

    How many smart people we have in Russia. I looked only the first page of comments and that's enough. To say that the defense industry is dead is tropical nonsense. I live in the city of Perm, which city does not need to be explained, and I clearly see the "dead defense industry". Puffs and works for fear of enemies. Now about addiction. This is where everyone hates Putin for allegedly burying the industry. Gentlemen! When did you drink conscience? After all, how you met Yeltsin, waved flags, went to the barricades. You, together with Boriskaya, three crafty ones, ruined everything. Thanks to the forces that led to Putin's presidency, the destruction of Russia was stopped. Anyone who is talking all this nonsense does not understand anything about this issue and does not know anything. At many defense enterprises, planned technical re-equipment was carried out, and not individual machines were changed, but technological lines, new technologies were really being introduced. And there are a lot of such factories. No need to find fault with those who do business. Yes, there are still many associates of Boriska in the government and business circles, but many have already been thrown away from the trough, while others will deign to sip gruel. Now, briefly about import substitution. Well, tell me, dear wise men, where and by whom do your children work? In Russia now it is "prestigious" to work as an "office plankton", as a "manager" and some other hero. Higher education is obtained for the sake of crusts. We are not talking about any kind of education at all, especially if we consider paid education. Everyone wants to be "top managers" and walk in white shirts and relax in Tahiti. Now we must take off our hats and bow low to those working people who know how to handle their mind and hands. I do not know what would have happened to us if it were not for these people. So they contain all of Russia and the "smart talkers" who talk about the power. In order for all the components to be domestic, it is necessary to educate and train a domestic performer, a worker with a CAPITAL LETTER, and not unfinished managers. Then we will be happy in the country, but without the whining experts. This way and nothing else. If anyone did not like my words, then these are your problems.

In order to produce, you need technical documentation, and it is being developed in research institutes, design bureaus, those whom you contemptuously call unfinished managers. It's elementary. ... And in 1985, at the School-Seminar on Local Area Networks in Tbilisi, it was announced that we are lagging behind the United States, and they are the leading country in the development of LSI, VLSI, by 25 years.
