Money for the army is not enough
Funding provided by the draft budget for 2013 year and the planning period of 2014 and 2015 will not allow all military personnel to provide all of them, said Vladimir Komoyedov, chairman of the Duma defense committee, to Interfax-AVN on Wednesday. "The draft federal law provides for the provision of clothing in 2013, 12,68 billion rubles, which is 550 million rubles more than in 2012 year (12,13 billion rubles), in 2014 year - 13,3 billion rubles, and in 2015 year - 14 billion rubles", - he said. At the same time, the head of the committee noted, "the allocated budgetary allocations will not allow the planned phased transition to wearing military uniforms and providing full-scale bath-and-laundry service for the personnel." “Thus, there is an additional need for budget allocations,” V. Komoedov said. The head of the Duma committee said that the additional need for budget allocations in the amount of 1,36 billion rubles may also be required under the item "food security". "Given the average number of people eating (about 400 thousand people), as well as the weighted average cost of food services (in 2013 year - 267,75 rubles per person per day) the need for food security in 2013 year will be 41,7 billion rubles," said the deputy. At the same time, the draft federal law provides for the allocation of 2013 billion rubles for the purchase of food in 40,3 year. In 2014, spending on this item will be 42,4 billion rubles, and in 2015, 44,6 billion rubles, he said. About 4,2 billion rubles additional funds will need the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2013 year, according to the State Duma committee, for the purchase of petroleum products. The additional need for budget allocations in 2014 and 2015 will be 8 billion rubles and 6,8 billion rubles, respectively. Additional funds will be needed, V.Komoedov noted, since the draft budget for the payment and storage of special fuels and fuels and lubricants in 2013 envisages 62,87 billion rubles, which is 7,0 billion rubles less than 2012 (69,9 billion rubles), in 2014 and 2015's - 62,87 billion rubles and 66,2 billion rubles, respectively. According to V. Komoedov, this need will not allow for the procurement of the necessary volumes of petroleum products intended to support the activities of the Armed Forces training plan. Additional budget allocations for transportation services will also be required, the deputy said. "The draft federal law provides for military transportation in 2013 year in the amount of 21,2 billion rubles, which is 2,1 billion less than in 2012 year (23,35 billion rubles), in 2014 year - 22,2 billion rubles and in 2015 year - 23,4 billion rubles. However, according to the defense committee, the budget allocations allocated for military freight transportation, which are included in these expenses, will not allow them to be fully provided, in particular, transportation of ammunition from arsenals and bases for recycling, ”V. Komoedov said.
And more:
"In order to implement the provisions of the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 7 of May 2012, No. 604, the Armed Forces construction plan provides for an increase in the number of military personnel under contract service in 2013, 2014 and 2015 years by more than 50 thousand people annually," Komoyedov.
... "However, the draft federal budget provides for budget allocations aimed at remunerating the newly recruited servicemen under military service under the contract in the amount of 16,4 billion rubles, which will allow an increase in the number of only 30 thousand people," he added.
He clarified that in order to implement the provisions of the law, it is necessary to allocate additional budget funds in 2013 in the amount of 22,5 billion rubles, in 2014 in the year in 36,4 billion rubles and in 2015 in the year - 51,5 billion rubles.
... Meanwhile, expenses for the Russian Armed Forces in 2013 will amount to 1 trillion 635,7 billion rubles, which is 241,4 billion rubles more than in 2012 year, Komoedov said.
According to him, in 2014 and 2015, these expenses are provided in the amount of 1 trillion 903,1 billion rubles and 2 trillion 410,3 billion rubles, respectively.
He explained that the main expenses for this subsection provide for budget allocations to support the activities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2013 in the amount of 775,0 billion rubles (which is 5 billion rubles more than in 2012 year), in 2014 year - 797,17 billion rubles and 2015 year - 833,09 billion rubles.
"The main areas of expenditures under the subsection are the payment of monetary allowances to military personnel and the remuneration of the civilian personnel of the Armed Forces (57%), payment and storage of special fuel and fuel and lubricants (more than 7%), housing and operating expenses (about 7%) food and clothing provision (about 6%) and others, ”Komoyedov said.
At the same time, according to him, the expenses for the monetary allowance of the Russian Armed Forces military personnel in 2013 will be 341,9 billion rubles, in 2014 year - 324,89 billion rubles and in 2015 year - 323,99 billion rubles.
As we see, an attempt to give the army a normal new field uniform (see its detailed photos on my blog) comes up against a financial question, because the cost of one set is about 35 thousand rubles. The desire to recruit contract rests again in money. And the rest of bringing the service to human conditions costs a lot of money.
By the way, there is a mysterious reduction in the cost of money in 2014-2015. Not much, but nonetheless.
