"Contract" does not threaten us?

How many copies were broken due to the increase in spending on the domestic defense industry! At one time, all those who disagreed with the concept of the need for the speediest modernization of the Russian army and the defense industry sector were publicly obstructed. Even the seemingly unsinkable Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, who was replaced by Anton Siluanov in a fire order, suffered. I remember that Kudrin tried to criticize the plans of the country's top leadership regarding the allocation of enormous money for the modernization of the Armed Forces and the defense industry, arguing that the global financial crisis could still declare itself at the most inopportune moment. As a result, such comments seemed to the authorities, let's say, not quite correct, and therefore Alexei Kudrin found himself behind the government’s board not only of Vladimir Putin’s Cabinet of Ministers, but later in Dmitry Medvedev’s Cabinet of Ministers, who reacted so ardently to criticism from the then Minister of Finance.

As a result, the quite mature reform went, but it didn’t go quite like clockwork. A certain squeak in the implementation of ambitious plans manifests itself today, and, in the opinion of many economists, will manifest itself tomorrow. At the same time, a sufficiently large number of those very experts in the field of economics tend to think that Kudrin’s words had a certain logical base under them that needed attention ...

One of the manifestations of the creaking mechanism of army modernization and reform can be called a state with the level of funding for such an item as an increase in the number of contract soldiers in the Russian army. The fact is that according to the presidential Decree of 7 this May (the date of Vladimir Putin’s inauguration), to 2015, the number of servicemen serving under contract in the RA should be significantly increased. The phrase “substantially” means completely unambiguous numbers - for 50 thousands of “man-bayonets” for the year starting from 2013. An increase in the number of contract servicemen would solve the perennial problem associated with the balance of contract-draft form of service in the Russian army, and would also give the army at least the exterior color of a professionally trained combat force.

But the aspirations of the authorities, unfortunately, can not always dock with the existing realities. The fact is that 150 of thousands of contract servicemen for 3 of the year is a venture that could well have been realized if not for one “but”. It consists of the “but” in the notorious financing. The budget for the needs associated with an increase in the total number of contract servicemen for 50 thousand people in the coming year, laid down a total of about 16,4 billion rubles - with the average calculation: for 328 thousand rubles per person (per year). If you recalculate for months, it turns out about 27333 rubles per contract soldier. This amount should include immediate allowance, monetized rent payments, if the contractor is not going to live in the barracks and other payments. Moreover, from this amount it is necessary to make deductions related to taxes, financing of social obligations, and so on, so forth. As it is not difficult to notice, the real cash income of the contractor, for whom the state intends to allocate 27333 rubles per month, will at best be equal to 50-60% of this amount. For obvious reasons, not everyone will be eager to sign a contract and become a soldier on such financial terms.

In this regard, it turns out that the Ministry of Defense will have to either lower the bar for recruiting contract servicemen to at least 30-35 thousand people, or increase funding for the project. But since the budget for next year in terms of modernizing the army and its phased transition to a balanced contract-based basis, has already been formed, and the President’s decree is there, any reduction in the planned number of contract servicemen from the country's main military department will look like a wave of obvious sabotage. And today, no one likes again to get nuts from Vladimir Putin for non-execution of his personal instructions. And the hapless Anatoly Serdyukov clearly does not want to become the fourth minister, received an administrative penalty.

In such a situation, the Ministry of Defense is left with two options: either somehow convincing potential contract servicemen to serve one or two years on modest funding, and then, they say, it will be better; or fill the contract gap with the help of conscripts.

Naturally, one can not especially guess what step will be taken by Anatoly Serdyukov, who was assigned a very modest amount to attract contract soldiers. Anatoly Eduardovich, whether he wants to or not, will simply be forced to take the second path, which has been tested over the years. In this case, we can also talk about the sabotage of the presidential Decree, but everyone understands perfectly well that there would be no sabotage if the financing was not laid out in the amount of 16,4 billion rubles, but in somewhat large amounts.

One more strange fact cannot be overlooked: there are no additional costs associated with financing new contract military personnel in 2014 and 2015. One can only guess what the bottom of the barrel is going to scrape Anatoly Serdyukov and all of the Ministry of Defense in order to be staffed for 150 thousands with a large number of new contract servicemen for 3 of the year. Perhaps there is a certain parallel item of expenditure in the military budget, which has not yet been announced, and in which, nevertheless, the financial points are outlined on how Russia can ensure the transition to contract-appeal in the right proportion. But nothing is known about such an expenditure item, and therefore the fate of potential 150 thousands of contract servicemen is in limbo.

Do we become witnesses of the first stage of the reform slip? After all, it is difficult to explain why of the almost 7,5 trillions of rubles allocated for the modernization of the army and military-industrial complex in 2013-2015, there was not enough money to implement a program to increase the number of contract servicemen. I would like to hope that the necessary funds will still be found so that the modernization plans in the future do not remain at the level of slogans.

    Without an increase in contract servicemen, there can be no talk of any reforms in the army. For one year, you can prepare a good motorized rifle, paratrooper, mediocre reconnaissance rally gunner. But you cannot train a good tanker or Navy specialist. Ideally, only contract servicemen should work with military equipment. they will improve and hone their skills from year to year. I know that many will not like my words, the opinion of many from this site is that we throw all our hats on URA. We threw, and more than once, only human losses were odd long.

        And why, in fact, are we so afraid of conscript service? It would be useful for the NEKST generation to ventilate their brains in the field and on the parade ground, even if there "snickers" nothing will disappear and there will be normal people. Maybe they will remain in the professional army. Stop following the "Soldiers' Mothers" and other State Department grant-eaters and egg-headed reformers and effective managers who, apart from "Let's do it like in the West and everything will be fine," have nothing.
        Repeated and repeat - we need a trained numerous mob. reserve. Remember the war, mainly due to the mob. human and material resources, we defeated the army of united Europe in essence.
        Firstly, who is considered a professional? Now this is any man who has served military service with the necessary military specialty, acquired again in the same military service. How is a profession acquired in the army, everyone knows - you don’t want to force, you do not know how to teach. Now, if the urgent service disappears, then where will the professionals be trained? You can, of course, create training centers where to train contractors and put them into positions already after preparation. But there is a very vulnerable place, which for some reason is forgotten by all the creators of the military reform. And where will you find the necessary number of specialists who want to serve in this particular part and in this particular position? Yes, even intensively master it in a training center with all the charms of army life?
        So it turns out that it is not possible to create a professional army, but the conscription service and, accordingly, the preparation of the mobile reserve, were completely ruined by liberalization to please the so-called human rights defenders from US intelligence agencies.

          Yes, no one is going to cancel the term. Here, let's compare the army with health care. How would you feel that after the institute the doctor worked for a year or two and went to another job. Or do you still want to be treated by a doctor who worked for more than one year, and trained possesses certain professional experience. Why in civilian specialties we trust professionals, drivers, doctors, pilots more, and in the army many believe that a person will learn to masterfully master complex equipment in a year. It seems to me that doctors, drivers and pilots are much closer to us, because many use their services and our health and life depend on them. And we remember about the soldier only later, because not only our life, but the life of him and his comrades depends on his skill. I don’t think this is the right concept, in the end, the future of the country and our lives depend on the training of a soldier, but many people forget about this, although they like to shout patriotic slogans.

            I think the answer to your question is simple: in a "difficult time" everyone will not have to become a doctor, teacher, salesman and other civilian profession, but in a war everyone should be able to defend their homeland, no matter how pathetic it may sound. There are military specialties, where contract soldiers still serve, as well as commanders, but for privates there will be enough time

    But he (Serdyukov) is a brilliant bookkeeper, as he considered, together with his accountants, the costs of transferring the army to a contract?
    But, actually, the issue of maintaining large armed forces in peacetime is a headache for any government.
    Where the heads are bright, capable general staff, this problem is solved. But not with us.
    It should be clear to the horse, and not only to the feldmebel along with the "secret hero" that an army capable of defending such a country as Russia cannot be recruited under a contract, including for financial reasons.
    The division into Rapid Response Forces, contracted, training centers for draftees and a base for the mob. deployment.
    As a result of intensified reform activity, the first and second are not created in full, and the third is generally poher.

    I have the "good fortune" to serve in a unit that has been participating in all contract experiments since 2005. And he made one conclusion for himself: the lion's share of the commanders are not going to change their approach to the soldier. If the platoon-company commander, directly working with contractors, is forced to somehow change his form of work, then for commanders from the battalion commander and above (for the most part) the contractor is not quite a full-fledged person. His family questions are rarely interesting to anyone. After all, for the conscript prosecutors, oh, how can they pull, but for the double bass who will intercede ?! Especially when a round of reform began, involving a massive reduction in personnel. There was just a bestial attitude towards people. Literally!!!
    I believe that the decisions of the Supreme are not sabotaged in the Cabinet, and not directly on the ground. Moreover, sabotaged by elementary stupidity. IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE AND RE-BUILD YOUR WORK! Otherwise, no money will help. And even more so when they are not enough.

    PS To avoid bias, I inform you - I'm not a contractor.)

      I don’t agree with you on everything. I liked working with contractors more than with conscripts. I’m talking about tank troops. Most of the contractors were very good at their skills, mechanics could fix most minor malfunctions on their own, conscripts were lost even with minor breakdowns and often they’ve ruined the equipment. Yes, and in the battle with the contract soldiers it’s calmer. As for social issues, the officers are in distress in our army, and you are talking about the contract soldiers. And this is not the battalion commander’s guilt and higher, but the ministries of defense. They conclude a contract with people, promise mountains of gold , and in the end, the person remains deceived. That's why normal contract soldiers in the army do not hold, and sometimes they serve even after the sleeves.

    Once the service in the SA was an HONORARY duty of youth. These times have sunk into history. Personally, I don't like the principle of contract soldiers at all. Painfully they remind of medieval mercenaries. They fight honestly, but without "fanaticism", if they lose, they will immediately offer themselves to the army of the victorious side. I would prefer that military schools were organized (and not reduced), where they would train a professional army with a WORTHY pay. Indeed, the technique becomes more complicated, and it will not be possible to master it thoroughly in one year (in Ukraine there are now 9 months). And you can't send professional military personnel to build a dacha.

    Communicated, served, with real "dogs of war" and understood the simple truth that real professionals have neither a homeland nor a flag. A real professional does not want to serve in such an idiotic kindergarten, which was made from the once powerful Soviet Army and from the Soviet militia. Now the commanding staff is utterly divorced from the common soldier (as everywhere the higher officials are from the people). Many acquaintances from the professional military left because of the statutory idiocy imposed by people who have not served a day among ordinary soldiers and do not understand that a soldier can also have a soul. Many military men, aces in their field, have been thrown overboard like a used condom. And that statutory dandruff, which forced them to leave, keeps mending on its laurels. Stalin did the right thing when, in the 30s, he jailed the commanding staff of the Red Army, who simply got drunk and could not adequately respond to the ever-increasing threats from the West and Japan, and put the military at the top, who understood how to serve, and not curry favor. My grandfather served in the 50s and says that he did not have such a bestial attitude from the generals, not to mention from the subordinate commanders. Moreover, then there were front-line soldiers in charge of everything, making up the backbone of the SA. Now from real professionals. especially those who have passed hot spots, they try to get rid of them - they join the ranks of security officials and security guards of commerce, officials and other crooks, or even just get drunk and join the ranks of criminals. Especially "bastards in epaulettes" were welded on "combat" ones, who did not pay the participants of hot spots and who had to waste their nerves and prove something to snatch from the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in action.
    As long as there is a bestial attitude (and it is not only in the army, but in all areas of activity) of the boss to the subordinate, irresponsibility and stereotyped, then do at least a hundred reforms - nothing will work.

        Unlike today's "authorities" under Stalin, the country was able to rebuild hundreds of new cities and in ten years to create its own industry, which helped us win the war (and not lend-leases, which our liberals praise). My old people all said that when Stalin died, everyone cried and grieved, and this did not apply to the rest of the leaders of the CPSU. Before the war, Stalin managed to destroy the "fifth column" represented by the Trotskyists (from among the military, the intelligentsia), who intended to beat our army in the back (as they beat our military in Afghanistan ("we did not send you there"), especially in Chechnya). He managed to prevent the treacherous attack of the "allies" on the USSR after the Second World War by creating an atomic bomb. Unlike today, there was order under Stalin. Power was power and there was no irresponsibility.
        Communicated with Chechen old people. They, with all their anger, they spoke in one voice. that under Stalin there would be no such mess.
        From the time of Khrushchev, and then of the humpback and Yeltsin, streams of bile began to pour on Stalin. Medvedev, Putin's six, also began to sing in unison with the liberals that "the people won the war, not Stalin" and other rubbish.
        On the Rossiya channel, Stalin was the winner in all polls, but the liberals in the person of Svanidza, Migalkov and Shlyubimov did not allow this, placing Alexander Nevsky and the bourgeois liberalist Stolypin. Repeatedly, with the victories of Lenin and Stalin, the results were nullified, and with others, they were unchanged.
        Today's "power", which for 20 years has turned the country into a raw material appendage of the West, cannot do anything for Russia, throws mud at the USSR, pushing all the failures onto it. Under Stalin, would they have gotten away with the repeated collapses of the national currency, man-made disasters like the disaster at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station, an abscess of corruption that made crime and power one concept, the unleashing of the Chechen wars, as well as genocide against Russians in the post-Soviet space?

      the charter is a set of rules. And the price to that professional kotorum is not to like the charter, and for this reason quits))))))))))))))) you are a direct supporter of the glamorous army)))))))))) probably also hire staff to wipe the snot and without a charter.
      the charter must be changed and adapted to modern conditions. and most importantly. The greatest demand should be with whom the composition is. But not as usual scapegoats are found. The commander must be a model and then subordinates will go into fire and water.

        The charter was written in blood. He is meant to teach, not mock a soldier. This is a VERY smart book and, if properly interpreted, it provides all spheres of life. But in the hands of a stupid, narrow-minded person, it turns into a destructive weapon that destroyed the army from the inside. In war, it is impossible to follow ALL letters of the Charter, because many points there are superfluous and not viable for war, if at least one of the key links in ensuring the interaction of the army fails. Now the system is so rotten that it spills out not professionals, but careerists and opportunists. This is not the fault of the army, but the ruling elite, about which one can say - "are they stupid, or are they in the share?" Officers who stupidly follow the regulations and see a soulless thing in soldiers are called "jackals", and a normal officer and commander cannot be called THAT.
        I will give an example. The general came unexpectedly to our screen and was furious that our uniform was not stroked, we were not shaved, and we had no white gateways. For all the explanations of where from in the war we should do how to induce a marafet, sew on the collar when there was no time to even even sleep. There was no water - therefore, they could not even shave (not to mention the laundry). According to the Statute, interpreted by the soother, each of us was supposed to have two (!) Liters of water for a day, and there were no streams and streams nearby. According to the Charter, only one who has not fought can live. The army does not serve in war - the army is at war. Who advocates the implementation of the Charter - he did not live according to it, but only complied or a fan ...

            CHARTER - notes of a madman (army folklore). And so it is ... Statutory forces constantly impeded and impede the development of the army. This is akin to bureaucrat officials, who also seem to act according to the law, but in fact simply use the resources of the state, imperfection or contradictions of laws in vain. A true professional with such evil spirits is not on the way.

It stalled when it started, namely in 92, and the last third stage, which started at 08, is also rather vague, no one knows that it should end up with only one excuse like: there will be a combat-ready army, a "social lift", everyone in the apartment.

        Contractors are even more entitled than conscripts. The double bass in the war will not be protected as a conscript, but it, on the contrary, is stuck in the front ranks in battle. The contractor is not required to buy ANYTHING for the war for his money. The army SHOULD provide it, and not vilely rattle and sell what is put in the markets and in military agencies.

          Officers are not educators. Parents of soldiers - educators. Raised a squelch, then a squelch in the Army and shakes. And since the soldiers change like a kaleidoscope every year, they don’t care about everything, the officers also chase a freebie: they put the older one and know that the senior with the personnel will fulfill the order exactly and on time. Why strain? It’s better to go through the next CoD level in the office ...
