According to Aleksey Krivoruchko, the measures taken made it possible to contract most of the allocated funds (about 15%) in a timely manner until May 2018, 94 and begin to implement the tasks of the state defense order. As a result, in 2018, the troops managed to supply about 115 thousand various modern models and weapons, including more than 2,5 thousand main military hardware, which determine the combat power of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Among the equipment delivered to the army, one can distinguish Su-34 front-line bombers, Su-30SM and Su-35S multi-functional fighters, Yak-130 combat trainers, Ka-52, Ka-226 and Mi-8 helicopters of various modifications. In 2018, the Russian armed forces received more than 120 units of various aviation techniques.
Among the armored vehicles, Krivoruchko highlighted the large deliveries to the troops of the new BTR-82A armored personnel carriers and the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, as well as the BMD-4М and BTR-MDM amphibious assault vehicles. In total, more than 300 units of armored vehicles and equipment were transferred to the unit.
If we talk about missile and artillery armament systems, then for 2018 a year the corps “Kornet” and “Chrysanthem-SP”, self-propelled 152-mm howitzers “Msta-SM”, as well as the division kit of “Iskander-M” ATGM, in addition, the troops received cruise missiles "Caliber" and "Onyx". In total, more than 120 units of various rocket and artillery weapons.
If we talk about the Russian Navy, then the composition fleet the frigate of project 22350 Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov, small missile ships of project 22800 Mytishchi and project 21631 Orekhov-Zuevo were adopted. In addition, the fleet was replenished with support vessels and a variety of combat boats. The Navy also transferred new Bastion and Ball coastal missile systems. On December 25, 2018, the Pacific Fleet entered the new Loud Corvette of Project 20380. Recall that the Loud Corvette became the second ship of Project 20380 out of four that should be built in Komsomolsk-on-Amur at the Amur Shipyard (ASZ) and transferred to the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy. The first warship received the name "Perfect" and was transferred to the fleet in July 2017. In total, according to the results of 2018, the Russian fleet was replenished with more than 20 ships and vessels of various purposes.
According to the President of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) Alexey Rakhmanov, the Russian Navy in 2018 will receive 11 warships. He stated this in an interview with the TV channel "Russia-24". “4 warships will be repaired, 25 December we will raise the St. Andrew’s flag on the Loud corvette in the Far East, and I hope that a few days after this, the Antonov mine sweeper will be handed over to the Russian minesweeper of the Sredne-Nevsky Plant,” noted Rakhmanov. According to A REGNUM, the transfer of ships in the last week of December 2018 of the year will ensure that the shipbuilding corporation fulfills the 2018 state defense order of the year by 100 percent - for the first time in five years.
Especially Alexey Krivoruchko noted the fact of the supply of new anti-aircraft missile weapons and equipment to the armed forces. According to him, in 2018, the Russian army was transferred to the Pantsir-S air defense missile system and the Tor-M2 air defense system, including in the Arctic version, as well as the Buk-M3 air defense system and the Triumph C-400 air defense system. Unconditional novelties include the Buk-М3 air defense system, which was demonstrated to the general public only as part of the Army-2018 forum. At present, this air defense system is supplied to the troops and put on combat duty, in addition to this, it is being adapted for foreign customers (the export version will be designated “Viking”). “Buk-М3” is a truly new word in the development of medium-range air defense systems. Launchers of this complex can carry 6 or 12 missiles and are able to confidently hit aerodynamic targets at altitudes up to 25-27 km and at a distance to 70 km.
In addition, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received in 2018 more than 100 complexes of radar stations for various purposes, as well as small arms and equipment, modern communications, the latest EW, RCBZ complexes and much more. For example, in the 2018 year, the Kalashnikov Concern, which is part of the Rostec state corporation, began delivering X-NUMX-mm AK-5,45 assault rifles to the troops as part of the 12 state defense order implementation. According to the official website of the concern, December 2018 shipped the first 20 machine guns to the customer - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The Russian military became the first customer to receive a new machine gun. At 2500, the year in Izhevsk is planned to launch a full-scale high-volume production of a new automatic weapons.
In addition to the new technology, the Russian armed forces received about 8,5 thousands of repaired and modernized models and weapons, including about two thousand main ones. Directly in the army in 2018, it was possible to carry out service maintenance of more than 57 thousands of weapons, military and special equipment. All the above figures speak best of all about the well-coordinated work of the Ministry of Defense of Russia and Russian defense industry enterprises in solving the most important state task - the implementation of the state defense order for 2018 year.
Following the results of 2018, it was possible to bring the level of equipment of constant readiness units with modern serial models of military equipment to 61,5 percent, and the provision of troops with armament and equipment to 98 percent, while maintaining the existing fleet of equipment at an average of 94 percent, noted Russian Deputy Minister Alexei Krivoruchko. According to him, almost all the enterprises of the defense industry complex of Russia have coped with the contractual obligations undertaken. At the same time, the timely execution of government contracts was not achieved across the entire nomenclature of weapons and equipment, work to correct this situation will continue.
According to Yuri Borisov, Deputy Prime Minister for the military-industrial complex, the performance of the state defense order at enterprises and in defense industry organizations has reached an average of 97-98 percent, and, for example, in the Rosatom state corporation, it is executed at 100 percent. In an interviewRussian newspaper"Borisov noted:" If in 2012, the percentage of accomplishment of planned measures for the state defense order was about 81 percent, over the past few years we have managed to bring the level of performance of the annual state defense order to 97-98 percent. According to him, this is already a “good indicator”, but there is a higher level, here he cited the example of “Rosatom”.
In the design, research and development organizations and enterprises of the nuclear weapons complex of the Russian Federation, the task of the state defense order has not been fulfilled for the first time in one hundred percent and, most often, ahead of schedule. It happened in 2018 year. It is worth noting that it is precisely the atomic state corporation in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that is putting into practice the Russian policy in the field of nuclear deterrence. It does not just supply ground troops, fleet and aircraft with serial, already adopted nuclear weapons and ammunition, but also searches for answers to military and geopolitical threats and challenges of time that are new to our country.
Modernization of the Strategic Nuclear Forces of Russia is a priority task
At present, the re-equipment of the national grouping of Strategic Nuclear Forces (SNF) is carried out taking into account the US implementation of the Global Strike concept and the deployment of a global missile defense system. Another 7 of May 2012 by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 603 provided, inter alia, for the priority development of the Russian nuclear deterrent forces. Currently this issue is under special control of the Ministry of Defense and the country's leadership. The necessary financial resources are always allocated for upgrading the strategic nuclear forces.
Commenting on the work in this direction for the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper, Alexei Krivoruchko noted that successful throwing tests of the Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile took place in 2018 year. The aviation strategic nuclear forces were replenished with five modernized aircraft - four Tu-95MS and one Tu-160. For them, the full number of procurement of the required number of aircraft-based cruise missiles was carried out. The maritime group of strategic nuclear forces was maintained in readiness for its intended use. In 2018, Russia began testing the new strategic nuclear submarine of the 955A Borey project, which is the lead submarine cruiser of the renewed project.
If we talk about future plans, then in 2019, the main efforts in the field of strategic nuclear forces will be focused on the re-equipment of the Russian strategic grouping with modern and promising complexes with improved tactical and technical characteristics. So in the Strategic Missile Forces, the first rocket regiment, which will receive the Avangard strategic missile system with an ICBM equipped with a planning winged combat unit, will have to take up combat duty. In addition, four regular upgraded turboprop missile-carrying bomber Tu-95MS are planned to be added to the combat squadron. If we talk about the naval component of the SNF, then in 2019 it is planned to admit to the Navy the head nuclear submarine of the Prince Vladimir 955A project, armed with the Bulava ICBM.
Launch of the Avangard missile from the Dombarovsky position area
December 26 The Russian Defense Ministry’s 2018 showed a videotape of the successful launch of the Avangard missile from the Dombarovsky position area. According to the official website of the President of Russia, on Wednesday, the Avangard missile system successfully passed the final tests and already in 2019, it will take up combat duty at the Strategic Missile Forces. Thus, Russia has the first in the world a new type of strategic armament. During the flight at hypersonic speed, the planning winged unit made vertical and horizontal controlled maneuvering and at the appointed time successfully hit a conventional target in Kamchatka at the Kura combat range. The capabilities of a proven planning winged unit allow it to bypass the zones of action of fire and information missile defense systems, which allows for the effective overcoming of existing and future missile defense systems.
According to a specialized military blog bmpd, this test launch was carried out using the ICBM UR-100N UTTH, which was equipped with a hypersonic planning winged combat unit of the Avangard complex. The launch was made from the position area of the 13-th missile Orenburg Red Banner Division, which is part of the 31-th missile army of the Strategic Missile Forces (Dombarovsky, Orenburg region). For launch, a modified mine launcher of MBR P-36М2 was used. In total, within the framework of the State Armaments Program, designed for 2018-2027, it is planned to deploy two regiments of the Avangard complex with UR-2027N UTTH missiles (total 100 units) by the end of 12. It is also known that in the future, guided warheads of the Avangard complex can be installed on the new Sarmat ICBM, which will replace the R-36М Voyevoda and have already received the designation Satan-2 in the NATO codification.
State defense order plans for 2019 year
According to Alexei Krivoruchko, in 2019, for the implementation of the state defense order in terms of procurement, repair and R & D, a sum of the same order as in 2018 was provided. In order to achieve the established indicators of the level of security and modernity of weapons in the troops of the order of 70 percent by 2020, the funds will be directed primarily to the serial purchases of various modern types of weapons and military equipment.
As part of the implementation of the state defense order, in 2019, it is planned to supply and repair more than 35 thousand systems, complexes and weapons, including about 4500 basic weapons and military hardware. In 2019, Russia is due to receive the first production batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters, as well as a batch of new Mi-28NM attack attack helicopters. The first flight of a unique Be-200 amphibious aircraft in a special version for the Russian Ministry of Defense is also expected. Ground forces will receive the first infantry fighting vehicles and Tanksbuilt on the heavy Armata tracked platform, as well as the main T-90M battle tanks and the Coalition-SV self-propelled artillery pieces. In general, in 2019 it is planned to bring the level of modernity of the military-technical complex in units and units of constant readiness to 67 percent by December 31, 2019 (an increase of 5,5 percent). It is planned to raise the level of provision of Russian troops with armaments and military equipment to 98,3 percent, and maintain the fleet in good condition at 94 percent.
