The Ministry of Defense considers the transition to a fully contract army inappropriate

The Russian army will not switch solely to a contract basis, such a transition is recognized as inexpedient. This was stated by the head of the main organizational and mobilization department of the Russian General Staff Yevgeny Burdinsky.

According to Burdinsky, the transition to an exclusively contractual method of manning the army is impractical for several reasons. First, the maintenance of a fully contract army will be much more expensive, and secondly, in this case, the mobilization resource, which is created, among other things, from those who have served their military service, will disappear. The Ministry of Defense believes that in every region of Russia there should be a significant number of people who, if necessary, can stand up to defend the country.



It seems to me that this is not necessary - to completely switch to a contract, because it is too expensive a pleasure. It will be an expensive army, but the most important thing must be understood: in the course of conscription military service, young people fulfill their dream and their right to defend the state. At the same time, we are also thinking about the accumulation of mobilization resources.

- he explained.

At present, combat units of constant readiness are completed by contract soldiers, and conscripts form the basis of the mobilization resource. This approach of the defense department is in line with Russia's economic capabilities and is adequate to the nature of military threats. Moreover, the total number of contract soldiers in the Russian army exceeds the number of "conscripts." In 2019, this ratio was 1,7 to 1 (58 and 42%), respectively.

Let us recall that from today, October 1, the autumn conscription started in Russia. The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a corresponding decree. In total, 128 thousand people will be drafted into the Armed Forces in the fall.

      "secondly, in this case, the mobilization resource, which is created, including from those who have served their military service, will disappear."
      This aspect is the first in importance for the country's defense.

        Serving in the army is an honorable duty of every citizen of Russia!

          So I wonder if the children of Abramovich or Potanin, say, agree with you? That's when their children, together with mine, will dig trenches and "take off", scrub in the barracks, then we will talk about "the honorable duty of every citizen."

            On the one hand, you are right, on the other hand, there are problems: after the army, many generally forget about physical activity and will not even be able to pull up once. And knowledge evaporates. This is, firstly, and secondly, the question arises of the general possibility of a large-scale war with the mobilization of the population. Since a war of this magnitude would mean a transition to a nuclear one. And thirdly, the widespread use of more and more complex systems makes the call in its modern form ineffective.
            I am sure that we will leave this system, but not now. Or we will change it strongly so that it corresponds to reality.

            To serve the Motherland and the people is the duty. And how to do it: in the army, in a hospital, in the field, at a factory, in a laboratory, or just honestly working at a regular job - is no longer so important. The main thing is for the benefit of the country and honestly!

              Do not confuse service to the Motherland at the factory and in the Army! Those who do not serve in the troops are alternative men and the attitude towards them is corresponding. There is an exception, only those who did not qualify for illness! Fair selection!

                It's not just about alternative service. I'm generally talking about honest work for my country, where a person can.
                A year ago, there was news at VO: a graduate student sued the Ministry of Defense for a lot of money for illegal conscription (it was really illegal, since there was a delay due to graduate school). And all would be fine, but this guy worked at a defense complex plant, and his dissertation was somehow related to military technology. It is absolutely obvious that he gave his duty not in the barracks, but by scientific work, and his contribution to the country's defense is much greater than as a conscript. At the same time, I have no doubt that his schedule of work and publications was simply disrupted.

                  No matter how cynical it may sound, many "contract channels" who receive a decent reward are not only not ready to "fight and die" but simply change their place of service. Do you know such examples?

              on the other hand, there are problems: after the army, many generally forget about physical activity and will not even be able to pull up once.

              The mobilization reserve is those who will be drafted into the army in case of war. Why should they actually be able to pull themselves up? After a health check and a short retraining course, he immediately went into battle. Contractors are recruited mainly from conscripts or from those who, after the army, have not forgotten how to pull themselves up. There is an age limit for the contract.
              And yes, other countries have similar problems. In countries with a contract recruitment system, the mobilization reserve consists of former contract personnel. The rest of the population does not even have skills. And this reserve is not very large.
              In case of war, you have to cook from scratch.
              A contract army cannot be large by definition, as it is expensive. Well, apart from the United States, they do not earn, others earn.

And now you will fight so that the enemy soldier, deceived by his leadership, does not come to kill your family.

            Okay, if it's a year. I had one subordinate, a young boy. He graduated from the navigator, received a navigational diploma. After the sailor was taken into the army and put on some kind of radio station. And there the equipment is secret, he was issued a permit. Those. after demobilization, the border was closed to him for 5 years, practically breaking all career plans.

            It depends on how you look at it. Commander tank (soldier after all?) - 6 months of training (Elan), 6 months of service in the regiment (Ohrdruf), then 6 months. - the school of warrant officers (next to Yuterbog, I forgot the name of the settlement), then 3 years of service as a tank commander - this is already a soldier! And for a year it is "nothing", alas. In the GSVG (I'm talking about reconnaissance now, not about BTV), every 4th-5th wanted to stay on extra urgent, even if we didn't have places, we agreed with our neighbors to take them - we then worked with them constantly, pulled out all the significant military organizational special events. These were really soldiers! Against the company of the 75th US regiment, we put up a full-time staff - we won. And if you put these guys out? lol 2 years is an "introduction to the profession", mob.resource, no more. 3-5 years is an accomplished warrior. It is surprising that the USSR could afford it, but the cap. RF does not pull.

                And I didn’t say anything about coordination. I talked about the fact that 1 year is the time to get used to the army and teach how to use weapons. But this is not a soldier yet.

                    Yeah, there was a case. Not from a big mind, however. At first (for non-specialists), the KMB passed here, and - forward. This was then done for everyone. But even after it, not immediately into battle. By about a year of service, more or less a soldier was obtained. But this is in those conditions. In a peaceful situation, this does not work. I had several fighters, with whom I worried, but "revealed" only on the extra-urgent - after both Chechen "iconostases" in full growth. And after a year of service, I did not even take them to the group during the exercises. But nothing, we are friends on the Internet laughing And here's another. We arrived in the area. I clarify the problem and always ask - your ideas? Because if the decision is purely mine, some may simply physically fail to cope with it. And they know their strength better. But it must be a soldier with experience who can realistically assess his strength. And this comes only in the 2nd year of service. With such you can fight. Of course, this is a subjective opinion. Maybe it's not like that in artillery, I don't know.

        Otherwise, there is a feeling that they just scrape a point in the barracks and trample the parade ground.

              Mobresurs should be able to shoot not only from TOZ8 and Kalash. Without conscription, it is possible and necessary to fully train a minimum of general military affairs and one military specialty, closer to the profile civilian training received. Everyone receiving workers, engineering and other specialties.
              Transfer military departments to specialized "training" from which to completely withdraw the draft. HF with a contract should not train, check the acquired military knowledge - maybe yes.
              Plus, the same centers must constantly improve their qualifications or at least maintain the knowledge of the mobility resource based on the knowledge and skills gained. This should be serious, responsible training without running around after men who strive to poison themselves with denatured alcohol AWOL.
              About the second military specialty is closer to the received one: if you are a military driver, take courses of mechanics not only in motor transport. Signal operator - learn the minimum in electronic warfare. Artilleryman - gain knowledge about the specifics of using drones and missile systems. Etc. Not necessarily, but somehow encouraged and welcomed. I have already written, it will be a shame to tears if it is necessary to shmalnut from the surviving shopping and entertainment complex, and there is only a "call" which shakes footcloths over a boot and the remains of a musical company.

        "secondly, in this case, the mobilization resource, which is created, including from those who have served their military service, will disappear."
        This aspect is the first in importance for the country's defense.

        Firstly, you are wrong to think that a conscript who has served a year is a valuable mobility resource for the armed forces, because there is no sense in that fighter in civilian life in three or four years, or close to that.
        Secondly, even in the SA after two years of service, not all fighters were of value as a mob resource, if only due to the fact that there were many construction battalions, "departmentalists" and other explosives who, from the point of view of the transience of hostilities, did not bring any real benefit would.
        Thirdly, the process of mobilization itself would be advisable if the war were protracted and proceeded according to the scenario of wars of the mid-twentieth century. But this will never happen in modern Russia, which means that it makes sense to have a huge mob reserve for a war that will last several tens of minutes or several hours is devoid of common sense.
        Fourth, all the costs of the useless training of a one-year-old conscript are much better spent on training those who decide to associate themselves with the army for years - the quality of contract soldiers and warrant officers will be higher, and there will be cost savings, because once the trained person retains skills until the end service.
        Fifthly, the maintenance of a contract soldier in terms of salary and benefits is more costly than that of a conscript, but if you count everything "in a circle", including the saved resource and the equipment that is ruined during study, it turns out that it is much cheaper to teach one times a contractor than spending money on a new conscript every year.
        Sixth, not all contractors enter into the second and third contracts, but simply quit after the first, and these people will be an excellent mob reserve after 3-5 years of service - this is a fact.
        Seventh, the motivation of a person called up through the military registration and enlistment office for an urgent one is very different from the motivation of those who voluntarily sign up for a contract - for some reason our current commanders do not want to take this into account, at least from the point of view of return for the army.
        I can also give several reasons why we are simply forced to switch to a contract army, but I will dwell on this, because I think those who have served in the SA and RA for more than one year, and know how to train personnel, will always understand what I wrote about. If someone wants to refute my arguments, then I would like to know for a start how many years this person spent serving in the army in order to understand how much of a person is in the subject.

Ex. 58 and 42% - contract soldiers for conscripts in "rank and file" positions. And 1.7 to 1 already taking into account the officers. It turned out something like "if I know, then you should."

      Conceptually I fully agree with this decision. I urge everyone to support him. But there are some questions in terms of its practical implementation. Do the conscripts serving in the current format acquire the necessary minimum of knowledge and skills to defend the Motherland in the future? It's not even that "ours work badly." Life itself and the laws of the times make it necessary for military training not only within the framework of service. And there seems to be experience in the form of military departments, but ... I work at the University, there is a military training center in it. But he is only engaged in the preparation of personnel of various orientations for the needs of the Armed Forces, and does not interact with 90% of students at all. That's all...

      Firstly, not everyone needs and is interested in military service. For many, even beyond their capabilities, even physical ones. Not all patriots, especially "hurray", are brainwashed and deviated to one side.

      Secondly, no one owes anything to anyone, except the state to its citizens within the framework of social services. protection, benefits, guarantees and an acceptable standard of living. Each person has no debt to the country and state where he was born. The country and the state have a duty as a parent in relation to their citizen.

      Thirdly, only people, soldiers by vocation, who are interested in the army, military service, weapons, and so on, should go to military service. Those who cannot imagine life without a military uniform, army, weapons, etc., with regard to military service.

      Fourthly, each person first of all protects himself, his family, loved ones and relatives. And last of all, the state and the country, provided that it provided an acceptable and high standard of living. If the standard of living was low, then it makes no sense to defend such a country and state.

      So the current initiative is just a coercion, forcing, propaganda and labeling in the spirit - did not serve, not a man. This means that it is socially less significant, valuable, etc.

      on the other hand, there are problems: after the army, many generally forget about physical activity and will not even be able to pull up once.

      The mobilization reserve is those who will be drafted into the army in case of war. Why should they actually be able to pull themselves up? After a health check and a short retraining course, he immediately went into battle. Contractors are recruited mainly from conscripts or from those who, after the army, have not forgotten how to pull themselves up. There is an age limit for the contract.
      And yes, other countries have similar problems. In countries with a contract recruitment system, the mobilization reserve consists of former contract personnel. The rest of the population does not even have skills. And this reserve is not very large.

      "... in the course of military service by conscription, young people fulfill their dream and their right to defend the state."

      "... in the course of military service by conscription, young people fulfill their dream and their right to defend the state ..."
      Here it is - a soldier's humor. Whoever has a dream is just going to contract service, but confusing "duty" with "right" is not the healthiest sign at all ..

      In the current state, the conscription part of our army is not something to be proud of, and certainly not something that should be hoped for in the case of day X. Our potential enemy (NATO) is much better than us in terms of technical equipment + quantity (in mass), and on the mobile reserve (if we consider the PRC as a potential enemy as well). That is, in a battle with NATO armies we can lose quantitatively and technically, in a battle with China we are losing quantitatively.
      The preservation of a conscript army under such conditions is an extremely dangerous illusion, proceeding primarily from the economic "Serdyukov" view of the army's affairs and its combat effectiveness, rather than from its objective parameters.

      For a year of military service, for the most part, you can get only a formal soldier who, in the event of a real and protracted war, will be weak morally and as a specialist, and he will probably get an outdated weapon, which he will not fight much more. Thus, if day X really happens, we will be "as usual" not ready for it in this direction, and leveling the situation will require a tremendous strain of forces and resources, as well as our dem. potential. Which we in the 21st century can no longer afford.

      So I cannot agree with the General Economy. Of course, military conscription is a practice that should be abandoned (in part) and that needs to be transformed (in part) into a channel in which the level of training is potential. the conscription contingent reaches out not in the "compulsory order" so beloved by our country, but through circles, sections and voluntary movements, as well as the expansion of military training in universities.

      In the event of a modern war, we will hardly need shaved-as-knee dudes in kirzachs - but we will definitely need UAV operators, scouts, snipers, etc. These specialists can be trained in the rear.

        The conscript needs to be transformed by introducing interest-based learning rather than drill. Which, however, is also needed to temper immature souls. But don't go overboard.

          That's what I'm talking about. The desire to save money and fit into tradition - and real defense capability are completely different things. Our country has always been loathsome in matters of modernization, every time in a new era we had to be driven literally with kicks and a threat to the existence of the state - but the times when our massiveness allowed our stubbornness to exist have passed - we are no longer the largest wild boar in the forest.
          Given our dilapidated dem. potential, it would be worth treating this issue extremely thoughtfully and delicately - ideally, revive sports movements, shooting and aviation clubs. It is also worth understanding that some people, in principle, are NOT SOLDIERS (emphasize, highlight) and trying to "make men out of them" is a stupid waste of energy for the sake of pure formalism. The beginning of any major war is an array of chaos and dumbbells, and when one-year-old conscripts swim like meatballs inside it, the result will resemble 1941 a little less than completely. With the difference that in 1941 society and the Soviet people were much more prepared for war, both in preparation and psychologically.

          However, all this, unfortunately, is empty. We have never bothered with such "garbage" - the expression "the devil is in the details" for any of our authorities is traditionally an empty phrase.

      As for me, the system of recruiting was close to ideal in the USSR - a competent combination of conscript service, "crickets", warrant officers and "jackets". The only thing - as for me - what it would be worth adding to it is the possibility of an officer to leave before the deadline (after the first mandatory five years after college) and return to service before the expiration of the age limit, but only once. In places with difficult conditions, "lure" benefits.

      ... First, the maintenance of a fully contract army will be significantly more expensive.

      Someone doubted? There is no money for the army, but the government finds money for the salary of the couch warriors, so maybe it's time to send them from the couch to the army, let them praise the guarantor

      I don’t know what to say. If earlier the law retained living space and work for those who served in the Army. Now the Duma has no time to pass these laws. Apparently, service in the Army is no longer included in the pension credit. Everything has changed. Before, every boy knew that he would be served in the Army. There were many people around him who had served or were going to serve. I dreamed of joining the Army in order to also see the world.

      Of course, it is more expensive, it is easier to keep a free slave force .. in our country this is welcome. Mob resource? For what? For war? Reservists who undergo annual training are suitable for war, and everything else is not a mob resource, but simply a resource ... of meat.

      Why can't all conscripts be paid as contract soldiers and called a professional army? If there is a debt to the state, why is there no debt to a person?

        The Kabaev's girlfriend clearly told you that the state owes you nothing.

      There is a violation of logic.
      If combat units are to be made contractual, and "guard" units are made for conscripts, then which of them is a mobilization reserve? Of the conscripts who shot three cartridges for the service and only learned about military life and the distinction of military ranks. In one part, VOKhR (women and grandfathers in shabby uniforms) were engaged in the protection of ammunition depots, and in the other - conscripts in outfits. And the result was the same thing. Even in the case of VOKhR, it was safer than conscripts, who either had problems with a girl, then they did not share something with each other, then they just kind of evade work.
      Here, either a complete transition to contract service in combat units and security guards with a difference in requirements, or for urgent to be increased to 2-3 years with a monthly salary, like contract soldiers, so that this money can be sent to your children, parents or left to study at the university or for an initial payment on a mortgage. Otherwise, it's just free charity work.
