The Ministry of Defense will get five new spy satellites

The Russian Ministry of Defense will create the newest satellite electronic surveillance system, consisting of five spacecraft. The tender of the military department won the Khimki NPO named after Lavochkin, as a result the contract with the company amounted to almost 70 billion rubles.

It is planned that the satellite system will initially consist of two devices, later the other three will join them. With it, it will be possible to observe live images on the ground in the submeter resolution. “Izvestia” notes that the most advanced such systems allow you to recognize machine numbers and common features of a person’s appearance. In Russia, the equipment of a similar level was not produced from Soviet times.

As the general director of NPO named after Lavochkin Victor Hartov told the publication, they will make the satellite themselves, and foreign companies will make the “stuffing” for it. At the moment, the proposals of foreign enterprises that are ready to supply “insides” for the electronic surveillance system are being considered. According to Khartov, gradually the share of Russian technologies in the satellite’s payload will increase in order to fully switch to self-sufficient production.

European suppliers, Thales Alenia Space from Italy and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) from Israel can become suppliers. As Viktor Hartov noted, they are most interested in the terms, risks, costs and the willingness of companies to transfer technology to Russia.

A draft of the satellite system is planned to be submitted to the Ministry of Defense before the end of 2013.

Viktor Yesin, Candidate of Military Sciences, professor, retired colonel-general, adviser to the Commander of Russia's strategic forces, in a conversation with “However” was brief, evaluating the “order” of the Ministry of Defense:

- This system is definitely needed. It also makes it possible to solve not only intelligence tasks, but also national economic ones. This is called earth remote sensing. As for the contract amount - 70 billion rubles - I think that this is an acceptable cost. The same 5 spacecraft, and in this cost, most likely, should be included and ground infrastructure.

Israeli Defense Concern "Aviation Industry" (TAA) It is the main contender for the supply of equipment for five new generation spy satellites ordered by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

According to Izvestia newspaper, the Italian concern Thales Alenia Space and the European multinational company EADS can compete with TAA.

The main contractor for the Ministry of Defense will be the Lavochkin NGO, which won a state tender for almost 70 billion rubles (approximately $ 2,3 billion). The satellites themselves will be built in Russia, but the "filling" for them will be purchased abroad.

The publication cites the opinion of experts, according to which the Israelis are most likely to receive an order for the supply of electronics for satellite spies. The Italian company is inferior to competitors in the technical component, and the candidacy of EADS is problematic due to the prevailing political situation and multinational leadership. It is important for the Israelis to establish relations with Russia.

"The Ministry of Defense will acquire five newest spy satellites" - I was delighted!
"As the general director of the Lavochkin NPO Viktor Khartov told the publication, they will make the satellite themselves, and foreign companies will make the" stuffing "for it. At the moment, proposals of foreign enterprises are being considered, ready to supply" insides "for the electronic surveillance system. According to Khartov, gradually the share of Russian technologies in the payload of the satellite will increase, in order to then completely switch to self-sufficient production. "- It was already bad.
What can a Great Power only a corps do? I understand that there were no orders from the union, but if @@ it was Italian, Israeli filling, pah, I would not have read it better.

[Alikovo]

you don’t have to buy better from pasta, everyone knows the story from iveco.

[Reasonable, 2,3]

So they told you everything.?

[Atrix]

And what is the story of IVECO? The machine confirmed all its declared characteristics.

[Hemi cuda]

It is high time to suspend your eyes in orbit with a modern filling.

[patsantre]

It's a shame, it’s a shame that the filling is not ours. Who said that we are on the basis of electronics and electronics military destination ahead of the West?

[Rats]

I hope they will buy a foreign filling for a very short time. And then, in fact, the manufacturers will switch the pair of knife switches, and the satellite will be cut down, or. worse, will come under their control.

It is made in Israel, yes. But who told you that there is no labor of our specialists in it? There, after the collapse of the USSR, so many specialists moved ... For this alone, and for the collapse of science and the military-industrial complex, there is no forgiveness of Gorbi and Chevy ...

[Ezhaak]

Nothing has been produced yet. The Israelis are just the main contenders. Not yet. And their chances are very high.

But we are unlikely to find out for sure. Yes, if there is, it’s a shame not only for the power, but also for having to depend on someone in this regard.

[Ezhaak]

I don’t know what the reader’s opinion looks like, but I would prefer that all electronics was made with us... Only in this case will there be a guarantee against probable "bookmarks"able to stop the operation of satellite devices at the request of the interested party. It could be Israel, it could be the USA, or any other country interested in this and having ties with the manufacturer. Although, if programmable devices are used in the satellite electronics, then this is not the case it's scary. They will still be programmed in Russia. But possible "Bookmark"will remain
How many people, so many opinions! Someone will not like my words, nothing can be done. Fate

1. They are checked this time
2. The manufacturer of the bookmark will not install, because if they find out about this - he will no longer see orders.

But in the civilian sector, bookmarks are various commonplace :)

[Ezhaak]

What do you mean by the word "bookmark"? I already forgot what a weapon is , but I also have an idea of ​​microcircuits. How will YOU check for availability? Until it manifests itself, no one will know anything. And even after the manifestation, first of all, everyone sees that the m / s-ma is "out of order". She died, so to speak.
Obligatory to find out what happened, the crystal is opened. And here, with a large number of layers, it is extremely difficult to determine what happened and for what reason. For anyone, too often it can be attributed to the process technology. I think so.

[rereture]

Satellites are spies, and the filling is western. Stupidity.

This is a spy satellite of Russia will make a potential adversary from NATO.

Honestly everyone expected but this decision is the pinnacle of genius, bravo.

[waisson]

glad after a series of unsuccessful launches and orbit under Serdyukov

Basil is this the case you are not interested in rubber products with nuclear submarines?

I agree to all 100% specific idiocy, satellite spy will be done by those who will spy

[b-612]

Well, what kind of spies ?! these are our satellites - we must call them "spy satellite"!

[Delink]

I wonder if bugs will be searched in the software? You can expect anything from suppliers.

All device programming is supposed to be done in Russia. Hardly anyone will give their codes. In theory, it should be so.

[Supervision]

degrading !!!

[oSeR]

We still do not know what kind of filling they will do over the hill ... It is possible that not all, well, for example, the software for the filling.

[de klermon]

DokonversionIts m..t them !!! And if they fall, with whom to ask? From Israel? Such radio electronics 20 years ago was ... They killed everyone !!!

PS Israel lives on US subsidies, how not to buy stuffing for spy satellites from such a "partner"? Who will spy on whom?

[gladysheff2010]

When you come to the market, you’re the seller’s identity before the lantern, so long as the purchase is a success. So what are the differences?

[KCC]

I think that it will be correctly understood in this way, the purchase of technologies with subsequent refinement in Russia. If materials will be used at the beginning because of the debris, then it is likely in those satellites that are planned for dual use with the main emphasis on the national economy.

[PACIFIST]

The tender of the military department won the Khimki NPO named after Lavochkin + the CIA so it turns out ?? if the filling is western then you can put your bugs in microcircuits ??? well, he has the right name for a spy satellite, he will transfer all information to the west for our money

[Boa kaa]

What the scientists of Israeli origin are, can be shown by the example of the air defense firing of the Frunze TARKR at one time. "Fort" shot the target with the first missile. That was usually the end of it. But then the goal became a group one. The first missile was on target, and the second and subsequent ones went ballistic. this was repeated 2 times. Then the KGB figured out: the corresponding algorithm was included in the security mat. And the rockets dismantled the complex by nuts.
I imagine that you can create at the present level of programming!

[gladysheff2010]

Well done! It's time to get an independent tracking system!

[Vitali-46]

The news is good! And the supplier is bad !! They will stir up something bad there, under the pressure of s !! Yes, they’ve got it, we’ll buy the filling for the satellites from Israel ........ It's a shame for the HOLD !!!

[Uncle lee]

Happy Soviet Cosmonautics Day!

[nikolas 83]

The foreign filling has reached our satellites. It’s time to do our own thing. Previously, we had the best electronics in the world.

[MG42]

If only this foreign filling was not dual-use and did not cause damage >>> spy satellites are needed even in this form with this filling since the lag behind NATO in this area is noticeable

In Russia, equipment of a similar level has not been produced since Soviet times.

[JonnyT]

If they buy foreign electronics, then they will spy on simple citizens! And all and sundry!

[HAM]

Another "cut" -if someone did not understand. Especially with the participation of Israel.

[Mr.Net]

in short "go ahead !!!"

[Colonel]

Izvestia noted that the most advanced similar systems allow one to recognize machine numbers and general features of a person’s appearance.

This is from the heart. When filming "vnadir" in the most favorable conditions, Keyhole has a resolution of 0,1 - 0,5 m. a person with a nose 10 cm long walks with this nose up. etc.

[Vtel]

The Ministry of Defense will get five new spy satellites

Will the spies be Israeli? And they will follow us for our money - well, wow, Yes!
