Belarusian military-industrial complex. Is its loss critical for Russia?

98

Strikes and other protest actions that are beginning or impending at large industrial enterprises of Belarus, not to mention other alarming events in the neighboring country, make us think seriously about many rather unpleasant questions. Including over how negative consequences our country is threatened by a long "pause" in military-technical cooperation with Minsk, or even a complete rupture of it?

First of all, it is worth mentioning that, unlike the inhabitants of many other states that emerged in the so-called post-Soviet space, the Belarusians, under the strict guidance of their current president, managed to preserve the full potential of industrial enterprises and scientific institutions of the defense sector, which were located on their territory during the Soviet era. Of the fifteen design bureaus and research institutes that were there in due time, which were related to the "defense industry", to ditch, we must pay tribute, they did not give a single one.



Another thing is that Minsk could not boast of any special "giants" of the defense sphere either - the mistakes of the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union were taken into account. No one placed large enterprises producing final military products in such proximity to the western borders. Is that producing various units, components, parts. Own Tanks and Belarus is incapable of creating combat aircraft. Her specialization: air defense and electronic warfare systems, MLRS, as well as ammunition for them. Armored vehicles and anti-tank missile systems are not bad at the local craftsmen.

In recent years, great emphasis has been placed on the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles of various types, however, there are still more plans and ambitions in this direction than real "breakthroughs". In any case, the Belarusians are still quite far from the declared goal of creating a full-fledged strike UAV. But they are excellent at various high-tech components for various types of weapons and equipment, mainly related to optics and electronics: sights, guidance systems, and the like.

It is not surprising that a significant part of the products of the Belarusian military-industrial complex is exported. More than 70 countries around the world appreciate its simplicity and reliability, based on the use of Soviet military developments, and, of course, the low price in comparison not only with Western, but also with many Russian samples of similar products. It is also quite natural that Moscow is the main partner of Minsk in matters of military-technical cooperation. For example, if a couple of years ago the entire export earnings of Belarusian gunsmiths were estimated at about a billion dollars, then the trade turnover in this industry between our countries amounted to at least 600 million dollars.

It is clear that Russia does not receive ready-made samples of weapons and equipment from Belarus. Sighting systems of local production, traditionally installed on some domestic models of armored vehicles and artillery systems, are in demand. Some electronic components are in demand for the rocket and military space. However, the main platform, which for many years united the military-industrial complexes of Belarus and Russia, and over the years turned into an apple of discord for them, is still a wheeled one ...

We are talking about the famous chassis manufactured by the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant (MZKT), the widest range of which was once used in the Russian Armed Forces. Many samples of domestic military equipment were put on Belarusian wheels: from S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, Tor, MLRS Smerch and Tornado to coastal defense missile systems Bastion and Bal. However, over time, the main problem was that the mobile launchers of strategic missile forces were actually tightly tied to the platforms produced by the MZKT. Such as "Topol", "Topol-M", "Yars" and some others. The domestic industry simply could not offer the army acceptable analogues for replacement.

Naturally, realizing that the critical dependence on supplies from abroad (albeit the most friendly and allied country) in the matter concerning the most important components of ensuring Russia's strategic security is completely unacceptable, Moscow has repeatedly made attempts to resolve the issue amicably (wishing to acquire half of the shares of MZKT). Minsk did not show the slightest enthusiasm in this regard. According to Dmitry Medvedev, “shares have been sold to us several times, but they have not been sold”. Alexander Lukashenko preferred to use this circumstance as one of the elements of an endless bargaining with the Russian leadership, knocking out new economic preferences and benefits from it.

The problem was partially solved in the most reliable way - by means of import substitution. The Bryansk Automobile Plant (BAZ) took an active part in its implementation, the specialists of which undertook to provide the chassis with domestic air defense systems "Triumph" and, in the future, "Prometheus". But with the MZKT-79221 chassis for our ICBMs, everything turned out to be much sadder ... KamAZ, who took up the case, and other performers who acted within the framework of the Platform-O project, whose purpose was to develop and introduce a domestic analogue of Belarusian “wheels”, “gave birth "Something tricky, but in practice it seems to be inapplicable. Whether further developments in this direction are continuing is anyone's guess.

Consequently, the "wheel dependence" of our army on Belarus is still in force. And if so, then it is highly undesirable for Russia to allow the military-industrial complex there to suffer the fate of the Ukrainian Antonov or Yuzhny design bureau. At least until a real replacement for the truly unique products of MZKT is found. And the most reasonable, perhaps, would be the decision to speed up the corporatization of this enterprise with the participation of Russia. It is very topical - both in the light of the latest alarming events in our neighbors, and on the basis of the "insight" of Alexander Grigorievich that occurred under their influence.

      Nothing super-terrible will happen. Economic ties cannot be simply cut off at once. Even with Ukraine, trade is growing. Only Belarusian producers will lose profit.
      Because of the short-sighted policy and the so-called striker himself. the proletariat, in particular at a large fertilizer plant, Belarus, as a leader, can be knocked out of the sales market, incl. Russian manufacturers. And so along the entire economic chain. The barely breathing ports of Latvia, where these fertilizers are loaded, will also suffer directly.
      So, in fact, the proletariat of Belarus is shooting itself in ... the head.

            The Sochi Olympics have seriously tightened up the infrastructure, as well as the construction of motorways and roads in Crimea.
            KAMAZ will still finish its millipede for launchers, and everything else is already being systematically replaced
            The Mytishchi plant has already prepared a four-axle floating platform for air defense systems, and the C400 and other systems are already being installed on the BAZ chassis.
            In vain dad did not sell the MZKT, soon no one will need it, the Chinese are already riveting the tractors themselves.
            And it is unprofitable to enter there with money on terms of joint production. They will always be able to squeeze out, even when the Old Man has already been squeezed out more than once. It is more reliable in its territory.

It seems like everything is okay, this is put into service and serial deliveries to the troops are expected .. The fact that not everything is just perfect is not the case otherwise! The chassis is new and at a completely different level, unlike the MZKT with solutions from the 70s and 80s of the twentieth century .. And here on the site there were articles in other sources, but some people really want that Russia does not work out and, as always, wishful thinking is given as real ..

        Apparently, they are already preparing to drain ..

        In a crisis covered by a pandemic, a big window of opportunity opens up for some very serious guys! When you drain, interested people will get a lot of goodies! True, the interests of big people do not at all coincide with the interests of VO readers. In the previous two comments, I briefly described the interests of big business. Some readers will certainly disagree with my opinion. But the interests of capital are behind the fall of the country. Both foreign and Russian. With the fall of the country, the industry and agriculture of the Belarusians will be merged. Something will go to Russia along with a part (share) of the product sales market. Someone will move to Russia, improving demographics and knocking down wages. Perhaps there will be a local war like in Ukraine with the LPNR. But it is beneficial in terms of capital. A part of the patriotic population ready to fight with arms in hand will be utilized under the slogans of patriotism. This is what we see in the neighboring country. Thus, capital is conducting an action to ensure its own security from the radical population. The rest of the population will be frightened by the radicals from the other side as terrorists were frightened by the bourgeois themselves and sponsored. And it is quite symbolic that the action on September 11 is voiced as the phone number of the rescue-911! But how successfully the work went after September 11! Belarus is not a special case. These are all links of the same chain and goal! Everything fits into the logic of globalization. China is still kind of kicking.

      Was it leaked or not? Probably the question is! From the point of view of capitalism, Belarus must be brought down! The benefits are obvious for Russia's partners and for Russia itself. Another technology competitor will be knocked out. Russia can completely take out all the documentation of the required products to itself. Probably, according to the finished drawings, KAMAZ will be able to produce their products. Of course, it's not just about wheeled chassis. But perhaps the clearing will be cleared in the interests of both sides. Although Belarus and Israel are comparable in terms of population. But Israel is not cleaned up, and even supported! You can certainly support Belarus following the example of Israel. But for this you need to have a political interest. Does Russia have it? Beginning with Gorbachev, Russia's sphere of interests has been constantly decreasing, being reduced to purely the Moscow Principality. Let's say tomorrow Lukashenka will be overwhelmed. Kazakhstan will probably be the next. And again we will shout about the offensive and treachery of NATO.

    Everything here is generally interesting. In 1985, the MAZ-7907 product was completely created, now there are 2 samples still on Maz. So, a creation created at KAMAZ called Platform-O, almost completely repeats the aforementioned MAZ. With all his illnesses.

    The military-industrial complex of the USSR was built for the purpose of calculating the eternal Union. Therefore, it was logical to build in those cities where the logistics for raw materials, shipment, picking are suitable.

        Quote: carstorm 11
        what standards are you

        Answer.
        The military-industrial complex has only the United States, since the military-industrial complex solves the specific problems of overcoming the insoluble contradiction between the form of economy inherent in the constitution of this state (based on private entrepreneurship and the prohibition for the state to interfere in the affairs of private business) and the need to organize systematic state intervention in the systematic increase in the competitiveness of the US economy in order to maintain economic and political dominance in the world arena. The military-industrial complex was created and is used for continuous "production" and preparation for the introduction of advanced technologies. After advanced technologies have been created at public expense and tested in the US Armed Forces, the relevant US government bodies (agencies) enact regulations prohibiting the use of obsolete technologies, which forces private companies to acquire and introduce new technologies into production. Through the WTO and UN specialized organizations, a ban is introduced on the use of obsolete technologies in the world. This prohibition is secured by a sanction. (Sanction means the onset of negative consequences for the offender).
        Thus, the military-industrial complex (or the military-industrial complex of the USA) is a unique phenomenon (it is difficult for many Russians to understand this, because they have specific experience and therefore their brains work specifically).
        I will add that the creation in the United States (and then in the rest of the world) of a "consumer society" is a direct consequence of the creation of the military-industrial complex and provides for the compulsion of private business to acquire "safe" technologies instead of obsolete "safe technologies." All of this is noticed in the development of automobiles, especially after 1990.

          Don't write nonsense. The US military-industrial complex is an opportunity for a very narrow group of people to earn very big money on military orders, whether there is a war or not, but there are always orders not only from the United States, but also from all the countries under their control.

      It is also very interesting where the author got such information. And it is presented as if it were some kind of obvious fact. I remember a year ago, it was reported that successful tests were carried out and in the next 10 years there will be a smooth transition. It is probably not supposed to force events even if Belarus is “lost”. And the main problem is not in the military-industrial complex. It is obvious that it will become a staging ground for the armies of the enemy of Russia in this case.

    Everything here is generally interesting. In 1985, the MAZ-7907 product was completely created, now there are 2 samples still on Maz. So, a creation created at KAMAZ called Platform-O almost completely repeats the aforementioned MAZ.

    They have only electric transmission in common. Everything else is different machines. Starting from the fact that KAMAZ under the Platform-O program is an 8-axle vehicle with larger wheels, and MAz-7907 had wheels of a smaller diameter, 12 axles and was intended for the heavy PGRK Celina-2 being created (one of the variants ). The second one with huge wheels with a diameter of almost 2,5 meters - the skeleton is lying on Baikonur

    Quote: indifferent
    I read and saw a movie that our industry has already switched to the domestic chassis of the Bryansk plant and KAMAZ. True, they are still producing little, but it is not difficult to build up. Moreover, the KAMAZ chassis is much better. It unfolds (makes a turn) literally on the spot.

    The KAMAZ chassis under the Platform-O program is very damp. Turning all wheels, of course, greatly reduces the turning radius, but it was on this (on such a turn) that KAMAZ failed at the show

    Yeah, hour. Will it push, and will push, that it will be necessary to spend trillions (and not rubles, but dollars) to put everything on the railroad?

    In fact, the Russian Strategic Missile Forces are now completely dependent on Belarus. Whether we like it or not. The "platform" is still very crude, and it is not clear whether there will be further games with electric transmission or it will be like at the MZKT. And from in the coming years, more than a hundred may be needed for launchers alone, not to mention other units of the Strategic Missile Forces and these chassis in other versions (for air defense, anti-ship missiles, etc.)

    Yes, but at the present time almost 60% of the Strategic Missile Forces are PGRK. In the future, it is unclear whether the mine "Topol-M" will be left or, when replaced, the mine will be replaced with mobile ones. Plus, if we go for the release of MRBMs at least on the basis of "Rubia" - these are only mobile.

      Everyone should understand (or just remember) that planned failure is a high-tech design method. It was introduced even in the production of Liberty class transport ships, which were designed to sail only one way: across the Atlantic, to England, and then to Murmansk. This, firstly, greatly reduced the cost of production, and secondly, reduced production time. However, then it was not possible to fully implement it, therefore, these ships went to the USSR for a very long time after the end of WWII. Today, cars become obsolete in 3 ... 5 years, so it makes no sense to lay down durability exceeding this period. When, after 3 ... 5 years, the "almost new" car hits the Russian car market, the new owner (Russian) plays the lottery, since the "planned" critical failure can occur at any time. Owner costs for "unplanned maintenance" also skyrocket. the coefficient of technical readiness ("combat readiness") of vehicles decreases.
      If cars were produced with a life cycle of 10 ... 12 years, then economic crises of overproduction would be observed more often. And who needs it?
      That's why the world's leading economy needed the military-industrial complex. That is why only the US has a military-industrial complex. This is why the United States is the world's leading economy. However, it cannot be ruled out that this original mode of production has already exhausted itself.

    You still have to say goodbye to the Belarusian military-industrial complex. Ideally, absolutely the entire defense industry should be assembled in Russia in order to exclude dependence on wayward princelings. And given that the national issue has not yet been fully resolved, such responsible industries as the defense industry should be concentrated in the most loyal regions - the Russian regions.

    In the course of production of the unified "Platform-O" within 10 years, there will be a gradual transition from machines produced at MZKT.
