The development of the Armed forces of the Russian Federation in the next fifteen years: a new Concept

In the coming months, a number of Russian departments will have to finalize the current version of the Concept for the construction and development of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as formulate plans for its implementation. The Security Council recently reviewed the draft Concept and approved it, but pointed out the need for some improvement. It will take several months for all the required measures, and in the fall of 2020, the security forces will be able to start implementing new plans.

Plans and deadlines


The draft concept for the development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was ready several weeks ago. On November 22, an expanded meeting of the Security Council was held, but which a new document was considered and discussed. The project has received support, but some of its features require adjustment.



As a result of the meeting, Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said that the necessary improvements will be implemented in the coming months. The Ministry of Defense and other departments will prepare an updated draft of the Concept and submit it to the Security Council. Then the document will be sent for signature to the president. All this will be completed by the end of March.

Until July 1, 2020, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and other law enforcement agencies should develop concepts for the construction and development of their own bodies and armed groups. Then, no later than October 1, on the basis of these concepts will draw up work plans for 2021-25.

Goals and objectives


The main objective of the Concept being developed, as its name implies, is the construction and development of the armed forces. Moreover, it is necessary to develop and improve not only the army, but also other structures responsible for the security of the country and the population.

During a meeting of the Security Council on November 22, Russian President Vladimir Putin indicated that in the next decade the main task in this context will be the strengthening and development of the military, technical and personnel potential of the country's military organization. When developing real measures for implementation, the president suggested paying attention to several fundamental points, due to which the differences of the new Concept will be ensured.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure the balanced development of all components of the armed forces - due to the competent distribution of forces and resources. It is also necessary to improve the management system of the military organization. We need intelligence tools, information and analytical systems and an established system of interaction between departments.

It is proposed to continue rearmament. In the coming years, the average share of new models in the armed forces should reach 70% and then remain at that level. In strategic nuclear forces, the share of modern systems should be even higher. In the future, the purchase of new samples will be carried out as part of the next State Arms Program, calculated until 2033. Its development will begin in the near future.


In the context of re-equipment, it is necessary to ensure the growth of industrial readiness of industry, which will allow the creation and production of modern designs. Such issues should be addressed before the immediate launch of the State Arms Program.

Risks and Challenges


The new Armed Forces Development Concept should take into account all existing risks and factors threatening national security. As has been repeatedly noted at different levels, the world is rapidly changing, and the Russian military organization must meet current requirements.

One of the main threats to security is a change in the military-political situation in the world with the deterioration of relations between large and developed countries. With all this, Russia does not have to confront specific states, but military and political blocs.

Leading countries of the world are developing their armed forces, including due to new technologies in the field of armaments and military equipment. Developing states do not stand aside and are trying to master new offensive technologies.

This year, the Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty expired. Discussions are ongoing on an agreement on the reduction of offensive arms of START III with unclear prospects. The emergence of new players on the world stage and the disappearance of restrictive documents have a significant impact on the development of the political situation, as well as lead to new requirements in the context of the development of the armed forces.

The new concept of construction and development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in its final form may include various measures, including the most serious. So, the Secretary of the Security Council did not rule out that, subject to the new Concept, changes could be made to the current Military Doctrine of Russia.

Methods and means


Actually, the draft Concept, adopted for further development, was not published. The finished document, having passed all the necessary procedures and approved, will also remain secret. However, this circumstance does not prevent domestic and foreign media from making forecasts on the goals and methods of the Concept. Such assumptions can be made on the basis of available data and already implemented programs.

It is expected to improve the structures and systems that ensure the interaction of various departments. Due to this, law enforcement agencies will be able to more effectively interact with each other and together solve national security tasks. However, detailed information on this subject was not published due to their nature.

The rearmament of the army and the re-equipment of other power structures will continue. Particular attention in this context will be given to strategic nuclear forces. By the middle of the next decade, the share of modern samples in the strategic missile forces will reach 100%, in other components - at least 80-90%. At the same time, the completion of the main stage of the rearmament of the aerospace forces with an almost complete renewal of the fleet is expected. The rearmament of other military branches will continue, but in their case the results will be more modest.


It should be noted that the exact indicators, pace and measures in the field of re-equipment will be directly related to the Concept of construction and development being developed. Based on her recommendations, in the near future they will form a new state armament program, which, in turn, will lead to the emergence of new orders and the subsequent delivery of finished samples.

As follows from the available data on plans in the field of military development, the most active work of this kind will continue until the mid-twenties. By this time, the required update will be provided in all major areas with access to the desired level of development and novelty. After this, the rate of renewal of the material part can be reduced to a reasonable extent, given the continuation of rearmament.

Actions and Results


On the example of the new Concept for the construction and development of the RF Armed Forces, one can observe how the modernization of the domestic military organization of our country is carried out. At various levels and with the involvement of various departments, the necessary work is carried out, the result of which is to increase the combat efficiency of the army and the development of other power structures.

Given the current threats and challenges to security, a general Concept is developed and adopted for implementation, which can influence other documents, up to the Military Doctrine of the country. On its basis, more specific plans and programs are being worked out. In particular, the Construction Concept forms the basis of the state armament programs.

Currently, a new Concept is being developed, laying the foundation for the development of the armed forces until 2030-2033. So far it is only a draft document, but in the spring it will be completed and approved, and by the beginning of 2021 a complete package of plans will be prepared. The development of the armed forces will continue taking into account all the new requirements and needs.

    It is strange to read such arguments:
    Until July 1, 2020, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and other law enforcement agencies should develop concepts for the construction and development of their own bodies and armed groups. Then, no later than October 1, they will draw up work plans based on these concepts. for 2021-25

    For more recently (in 2016) appeared:
    The final version of the state arms program at 2018-2027 years entered the Kremlin and may be signed by President Vladimir Putin later this week, Kommersant reports. According to the document, the rearmament of the army and navy will be allocated 19 trillion rubles.
    It is noted that the priority items of expenditures will be nuclear deterrence systems, precision weapons and the supply of arms and equipment for general forces.
    According to the publication, the priority in the allocation of money will be the development of nuclear deterrence systems, high-precision and hypersonic weapons. So, the Ministry of Defense will receive the most for re-equipment - about 19 trillion rubles, the rest of the departments (Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, SVR and the Russian Guard) - more than 3 trillion.
    It is noted that the new document was developed by 2016.

    The final summary is simply amazing:
    Currently, a new Concept is being developed, laying the foundation for the development of the armed forces until 2030-2033.

    Forgive me, but a concept is a concept, and plans must be made real, for which you will be responsible personally when the time comes, and not build "castles in the air" for nonexistent foremen.
    Here, really, perforce remember:
    “There are many such donkeys now in Bukhara,” answered Khoja Nasreddin. - I’ll also say that getting a five thousand tanga in gold and a good donkey in an economy is not a man succeeding every day. And don’t mourn my head, because in twenty years one of us will surely die - either I, or the emir, or this donkey. And then go figure it out which of the three of us knew theology better!

      1. Never, under any circumstances, when constructing any kind of concepts, the starting point is determined. This applies to everything, not just defense. Have you heard somewhere an analysis of the state of the army now, not bullshit channel "Star?" Unless performed by bloggers. You think he is secret, but in reality do they know there? He is from them and secret.
      2. Never, under no circumstances, are measurable goals and objectives, even intermediate ones, determined. Have you heard the report of the Council of Ministers before the congress of the United Russia party on the results and implementation of the fourth Putin five-year plan, 2014-2019? Have you caught up with Portugal or not yet? So I have not heard.

    The development of the country can be compared with the sprint race at 100m.
    Someone immediately took a quick start and went and went, someone is treading water, someone is taking a step forward and two backward, and someone is waddling into the wreck. On average, they run as opponents allow them, and not as they can.
    But the finish is the success of the country in the present and in the future, just the finish is constantly moving away ......

      It is interesting in what degradation? In the procurement of hundreds of aircraft, helicopters, OTRK, SAM, in the construction of the SSBN, nuclear submarines, frigates. Do not write nonsense. About collimators is just ridiculous. Firstly, they are, secondly, the presence of collimators in the army does not show the level of its strength.

                        Yes, where does anyone there direct or not. The topic was originally about what? That the Star Destroyer (Vsevolod) wrote that our army is degrading. Who leads it and how good it is is very controversial.
                        Can you name a lot of countries that over the past 9 years have bought 450 air defense systems, 120 air defense systems, 200 new fighters, 200 new attack helicopters?
                        And according to failed programs, only in the Navy there are problems with deadlines, in the airspace forces and military forces there isn’t. Let's not summarize, but specifically on the samples of technology.
                        Since 2011, I’ve been sitting on the Military Review and remember very well how they accepted the rearmament program. And how many whining from some members of the forum was that we will buy units. As a result, we bought hundreds and still cry. Again all this or that. Again, you fail everywhere.
                        Maybe you better take off your pessimistic glasses and take a sober look. There is no degradation. The army for 9 years has become a real force and does not stop rearming.

    The development of the armed forces is impossible without the development of productive forces in the country, and there are big problems with it, the energy superpower does not have its own helicopter engines, short-range ones, new ICEs in the best case are 50% foreign - do not throw a wedge everywhere.

      Where not to throw, no one wants to read something, they only want to engage in idle talk.
      Ka-52 and mi-28 VK-2500, frigates of project 22350 CODAG. You still consult in engineering something or you yourself still read something. Although it is better not to, there are a lot of letters, it’s better just to tremble.

          What do you mean?
          In Russia, the VK-2500 engine version is fully localized, the development of which was carried out by Klimov OJSC in 1999-2001. In 2012, tests of this engine were completed. In 2014, Klimov assembled the first 10 engines entirely from Russian components. In 2015 - 30. In 2016 - 60 pieces. In 2017 - 100 pieces.
          Cooperation for the complete localization of the engine also includes the Salyut Scientific Research Center for Gas Turbine Engineering, the V.V. Chernyshev Moscow Machine-Building Enterprise, and the Ufa Engine-Building Production Association.
          In 1997, a single-shaft GTD-110 engine with a capacity of 110 MW and an efficiency of 36% was created at the state-owned NPKG Zorya-Mashproekt to drive electric generators. Engine production through RAO UES of Russia was transferred to OAO NPO Saturn, which was engaged in further modernization and production of the engine.

      yes, right, moreover, all these percentages are nonsense. Conditionally removed from storage a UAZ of the 90s, otkapitalili, here you are, "new" equipment and mileage of only 200 km.

    Joke about the concept.
    A deputy comes, well, a direct deputy in Drabadan is drunk home.
    The deputy sits down on the sofa and says to his wife: "wife, bring a bowl faster."
    The wife ran to the bath, grabs the basin and rushes back to her husband.
    And the husband sits on the couch, his eyes are 5 cents each and says to his wife: THE CONCEPT HAS CHANGED, I DECREASED!

    In any management system, bodies are needed: data collection, reliability assessment, analytics, forecasting, formation of a "branch" of decisions. choosing the optimal solution. And if the whole structure resembles a spinal cord, where the signal goes along a chain from the duty officer to the required general and back, such an organization can only be compared with an earthworm.
    The whole question is that our tops consider themselves so brilliant that they do not need advice.
