ISW: The Russian leadership is preparing the country's military-industrial complex for a protracted military conflict in Ukraine

The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has published on its website a regular report on the events in Ukraine. The analytical note, in particular, states that the Russian leadership is intensively preparing the country's defense industry for a protracted military conflict in Ukraine.

American experts report that the Russian government is holding talks with business representatives to discuss plans to build new factories for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles. aviation complexes. Work to increase the output of military products, including modern tanks, Russian defense enterprises are continuously. Moreover, ISW analysts note, the Russian authorities manage to do this without carrying out a total economic mobilization.

Last year, almost all enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex switched to a three-shift mode of operation in order to fulfill the significantly increased volumes of defense orders. Thus, the Kalashnikov Concern reported on the growth in the production of small arms weapons at the end of last year by forty percent compared to the previous period. In 2022, the enterprise produced a record number of weapons of this type over the past twenty years. The situation is similar at other enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex.

In addition to increasing the output of military products, Russian state and private companies and institutions are developing advanced types of the latest weapons and military equipment. Do not stand aside and small and medium-sized businesses that work with large concerns under subcontracting contracts and provide the army with uniforms and other indirect military products.

To ensure the stable provision of the needs of the military in the special operation zone in Ukraine, by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin in October 2022, a Coordinating Council under the government was established to meet the needs of the Russian Armed Forces, other troops, military formations and bodies.

At the same time, Kyiv's Western allies are no longer able to cope with the current needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for NATO-standard ammunition. The Ukrainian military on the front line complain about the lack of shells and even ammunition. Kyiv sponsors need years and billions of investments to replenish their depleted arsenals and increase arms production, Western experts say.

Well, a great reason to really upgrade the army. In practice. And not in exercises and not in reports. In addition, this is real production, which should help the economy.

[Trapp1st]

A great reason to really upgrade the army. In practice.

You'll see, everything will end in a cut.

[zloybond]

Yes, it has already begun. There is another scandal with a company contracted to produce a new uniform. Horse price tags, strange figures...

[Svetlana]

>>> In addition, this is real production, which should help the economy.
...
Production is real, but it does not help the economy, because the money for all this comes from the state budget. Actually, all military enterprises are a burden on the state budget.
The economy, the budget, are helped by enterprises independent of the state budget.

[VicktorVR]

A lot of AvtoVAZ lying on its side helped the budget? Look for how many subsidies were thrown there.
Network and sales companies have been privatized, and where are they now and where is their profit?

The military-industrial complex does not exist in a vacuum, materials, tools, services (for example, transportation) are bought, workers receive salaries (which have increased significantly even taking into account inflation), spend them on consumption, i.e. put into circulation in the economy.

No, the maskva probably did not notice the effect of the growth of the military-industrial complex, there, of course, there is a business completely independent of the state, completely restaurants and fitness centers.

[rotkiv04]

it’s been like this for years, it’s more like throwing dust in the eyes, but in fact, they are also deploying additional production

[Epaulettes]

Yeah

[DefenderofTruth]

In order to completely defeat Ukraine, despite any NATO assistance, it is necessary to increase the number of the NVO group to 2023 million people by the summer of 2 and increase the number of combat units of the main classes of military equipment (ships, aircraft, helicopters, tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns, MLRS, OTRK and others) on theater at least 5 times.

[EvilCommunist]

first you need tanks and weapons of various interesting and bigger ones, there are high hopes for the military-industrial complex, I don’t want to go on the attack with a Berdan

[vladcub]

Interesting and more "the newest tanks are already operating in the SVO: T90 M, T72B3 (in modification 2016), T14, video on the network: battle" Armata ". I don’t remember how many units of T90M, T72B3, but I love more than the promised" Leopards "
How effective they will be, only time will tell. But anyway: new tanks are better, "used"

[Rome]

First of all, we need artillery, UAVs just on an unlimited scale and in a huge variety! long-range Tornado C with guided missiles, communications equipment, airborne ground reconnaissance radars and control centers, long-range precision weapons for aviation, and only then tanks.

[Trapp1st]

it is necessary to bring the number of NWO groups to 2023 million people by the summer of 2

Yes, at least up to 20 million, it's like giving a glass to a fool ... With the existing management competence and approaches to conducting JVO, there is no chance for any number of mobilized.

[Epaulettes]

Who spent the Internet in a durku ???????????????

[VORON538]

Well, you ask your neighbors in the ward!

[EvilCommunist]

For a protracted military conflict with NATO, it is necessary to rivet more tanks and put them in different places, so that later they can get those who remain and hit the Russian caterpillar in the nuclear-ash desert with a breeze!

[VORON538]

The American military-industrial complex continues to cash in on another war outside the FSA, but Western publications are interested in Russia.

[storm]

The course of the NMD shows that the army needs to be strengthened not only in technical terms, but also urgently to update the top command staff, which turned out to be incapable and not ready to command troops in the new conditions.
Irresponsibility and impunity led to the fact that court wedding generals were gathered in the leadership of the Armed Forces, who knew how to write beautiful reports to the top, cover up the mess and theft in the army.
The repeated repetition of the same mistakes speaks of the inability and unwillingness of the current "gold haulers" to radically change the approach to conducting combat operations, organizing the supply of troops, and planning operations ...

[S. Nikolaev]

but also to urgently update the senior command staff,

Here he is now undergoing training in combat. Young officers - they are the future middle and senior military leaders. And this "future" during the war, as always, comes pretty quickly

[Alf]

Quote: S. Nikolaev

Young officers - they are the future middle and senior military leaders.

And who will let them "up"? Remember the joke about the general's children?

[S. Nikolaev]

Remember the joke about the general's children?

I do not remember

[Alf]

Quote: S. Nikolaev

Remember the joke about the general's children?

I do not remember

The lieutenant's son approaches his father.
S-Tell me, dad, when you become a captain, will I become a captain's son?
Y-Yes, son.
S-And when you become a major, I will become a major's son?
Y-Yes, son.
S-And when you become a colonel, I will become a colonel's son?
Y-Yes, son.
S-And when you become a general, I will become a general's son?
P-No, son, the generals have their own children...

[S. Nikolaev]

On your avatar is the coat of arms of the country where this joke comes from. Nevertheless, you were not too lazy to write it, although everyone knows it. I still hope that we will manage not to giggle this country, as the USSR did in its time.

Yes, I also hope, although with such power it will be difficult. Unfortunately.

[Ratibor_A]

Well, it’s hard for the EU and the USA to print billions .... They cost a penny, paint and paper ....

[Galleon]

UAV factories again ?? Ekat as money is buried. In Rybinsk they built under the Corsairs - there are no Corsairs. In Dubna, Shoigu was taken around the circus with horses "they showed the factory" - there are no Orions. Hello, upstairs! It's not about the factories, it's about you! I don't care where they are made, even in Skolkovo. Establish military representatives from groping young and evil with the addition of a couple of participants in the war and let them accept, at least in Tushino, at least in Bykovo. Let those who went through the war write the acceptance program, they know what is needed and how.
Enough "factories", stop stealing, stop. If you build a plant, then you will ruin it.

[FPEDDI_KPYGEP]

Kronshdadt never built a plant in the Moscow region, and the news has been for 2 years.
This is an assumption, Kronshdadt is not a state-owned private company. If the company's products are so important to the domestic military-industrial complex, but it cannot increase production volumes, then the state needs to help somehow and not a grain deal

[Beregovic_1]

In the summer I talked with knowledgeable people. The workshops of the new plant were at the stage of equipment installation. And a new infa - they began to train UAV operators from the troops. Familiar officer disaccustomed. Moreover, I studied for a month and not at Orlany (there is 4 months of study and the place of study is different), but at a quadrocopter. He didn’t give details, but obviously he didn’t study at Mavik. Smart is enough.

[vladcub]

"no "Oreons" in "Reporter" other data.
There are domestic UAVs: "Oreon", "Lancet", but they are not used much: mass production has not been established and there are not enough experienced operators

[Alex242]

Quote from Orange Bigg

and the army will be satiated and production will really be updated .....

[vladcub]

I don’t know about the renewal of production, but Bloomberg noticed the growth of the economy

[FPEDDI_KPYGEP]

Rejoice early. The West is also preparing the military-industrial complex for a protracted military conflict in Ukraine

[FPEDDI_KPYGEP]

M we need to start mass production of reconnaissance UAVs, a very useful thing should not be underestimated

[16112014nk]

The Russian leadership is preparing the military-industrial complex

What a strange preparation. "Rostec" under the leadership of Chemezov is more bankrupt than preparing. Recently on VO there was an article on this topic:

Rostec State Corporation: builds factories with one hand, kills with five
October 5 2022

After such an article, the UK and the GP should initiate cases as a matter of urgency. But no, silence...

[vdv_555]

A protracted war does not work out, it is not beneficial to anyone. A few more Ramsteins and the Ukrainians will receive planes, tanks and missiles in addition to the already existing 1000 units of lightly armored vehicles, and we will begin a series of difficult decisions.

[vladcub]

"almost all enterprises" our media say that all defense enterprises work in three shifts

[Krivobokoff]

It is preparing, but not for a conflict with 404, among serious shoulder straps, since May, words have been slipping that victory awaits us not in Kyiv, but where it has always been waiting for us, on the banks of the English Channel

[valera75]

They write (https://t.me/RSaponkov/4492) that the company of the 22-year-old son of the deputy head of Rossotrudnichestvo received a contract for tailoring uniforms for the Russian army at prices 4-10 times higher than those of competitors.

On the one hand, there are no guarantees that this is exactly the form and it is at this price that it will go into the army. On the other hand, it is very similar. Typically, firms place the price of their products on Internet sites in order to confirm the high cost of government contracts.

By the way, in this case, the manufacturer removed all prices from the site as soon as the scandal began. It is very likely that the scandal erupted not in vain. I already wrote that the secrecy regime, which our Ministry of Defense likes so much, is very convenient for wrapping up your affairs in silence and darkness.

And this happens. If this is true, then someone gave the go-ahead from the Moscow Region for the purchase of this particular expensive uniform and not competitors.

[Petrovsk]

And, apparently, all this uniform is intended for hunters and fishermen, and is made in China. "Designed in Russia" And from the bottom in small print - made in China.

Rostec State Corporation is Chemezov, Putin's friend from the GSVG. Apparently another channel for withdrawing money from the budget, as in all other state corporations.

With such a ruler is unlikely. Already a pensioner, the will is running out. Phlegmatic. "Stuck." We need another, ambitious one. Not a coward. Not a liar.

the other is ambitious. Not a coward. Not a liar.

And with him already to the English Channel? No, you don't need one. Need smart.

And how do you like this - "In December 2022, Putin allowed all Russian officials not to publish income declarations during a military operation. The same applies to the military and security forces." Here is the price answer. Steal - I don't want to.
And accordingly: "President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a law that classifies from Russians data on the income and property of State Duma deputies and members of the Federation Council." What can you talk about with such a ruler, contributing to the squandering of the budget of the Russian Federation. There are sons of geniuses and daughters of a billionaire .... and so on, so on, so on.

Are you already in the military? Or at the machine?

[yho]

- If you agree to my project, then you will go down from the city to the pier on marble stairs!
But money! groaned the Vasyukins. “They all need to be paid!” Many thousands of money! Where can you get them?
- Everything is taken into account by a mighty hurricane! - said O. Bender. - Money will give fees!

It seems to me that the question is already brewing: isn't it time to run away? The people began to suspect that the "great strategist" was not the one he claims to be. News flashed on the Internet about the sale of Gogol's death mask and writers' manuscripts. The time for the last hack has come.

[ivan2022]

High class ....... Hot-tsa to speak in verse.

Not even a year has passed
how the discussions started
about building factories. .. !

[yho]

Why build factories when there are a lot of old abandoned ones? Or do you need to urgently master billions? And in general, what is meant by a plant, four walls and a roof? We have breakdowns with machines - we don’t have our own new ones, and Europe doesn’t sell them. And we ourselves destroyed our machine tool industry. And also personnel problems with specialists. There are a lot of defective managers: the manager drives the manager and the manager.

[Constantine N]

We need a plan B. Compete in the volume of production of the military-industrial complex with 50 countries, and most importantly in manufacturability? From the outside, everything does not look very good - for a year, the NMD against Soviet technology could not liberate the territory, then what will happen against more modern weapons ...

[75 Sergey]

The production of new ones is good, the repair of old ones must also be organized

[Vashek]

As long as it is an NWO, and not a war, as long as the country as a whole is not ready, has not turned on and requires serious changes, it is doubtful to rely only on the defense industry.

[Alexander_First]

In general, this is another PR for turbo-patriots. What is the situation at the Motovilikha Plants (Perm)? Have they already gone bankrupt? For the successful production of defense products, it is necessary to reduce the tariffs for energy and fuel and lubricants (at least for military-industrial complex enterprises). Reduce prices for metals, etc.

Well, yes, young, but already experienced and "fired" officers will come to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense only if the current generals of the Ministry of Defense form assault battalions and send them to clean up fortified areas in the Donbass.
If they don’t know how to command, let them show by example how to fight ....
To fight is not to steal a soldier's uniform from army warehouses, to deal with postscripts and trade in fuel decommissioned "for exercises" ...
