"Dastan" will go to Russia

28
The Kyrgyz parliament has allowed the government to sell the Dastan torpedo plant, which Russia has shown interest in, the project is scheduled for autumn. The Kyrgyz government hopes that Moscow will appreciate not only this, but also other steps taken by Bishkek to expand the economic and military presence of the Russian Federation in the republic.

Russia has been negotiating the purchase of the Dastan plant for several years. Kyrgyzstan was ready to repay the debt of $ 180 million to transfer to the Russian Federation a trade mission building in Bishkek and 48% Dastan, producing torpedoes VA-111 Shkval, the rest of the Kyrgyz government’s intention was to sell for all interested parties at a market price. But Moscow did not agree to these conditions, making it clear that negotiations can only be held on the purchase of a controlling stake in the plant.

“Until today, the government controlled only 48% of shares. The rest was owned by the son of ex-President Bakiyev Maxim and his associates. Now we have settled all disputed issues in court and can put up for sale 98% shares,” said the Minister of Economy of Kyrgyzstan Temir Sariev, adding that Moscow insisted on such conditions. Mr Sariev said that now a commission will be created that will prepare all the documents for the investment competition. "The Dastan plant will be put up for open tenders in the fall, and Russian investors will receive the priority right to purchase it," the minister assured.

Before making a decision, Kyrgyz deputies held a retreat at Dastan. "Employees and shareholders asked us to speed up the sale of the plant," said Karganbek Samakov, head of the economic and fiscal policy committee. In his opinion, the estimated cost of the plant is $ 30 million, the territory of the military complex costs about $ 108 million.

However, Kyrgyz experts believe that the plant’s equipment is morally and technically outdated. That is why now Dastan has no contracts for the manufacture of torpedoes with foreign countries. The plant signed a few years ago with India fulfilled a long time ago and has not received new orders since. According to specialists, military production, in fact, will have to be re-launched.

The Kyrgyz government hopes that Moscow will appreciate the last steps of Bishkek. Temir Sariev reminded “Kommersant” that Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev recently signed a law denouncing an agreement with the United States on the Manas military base, and before that Bishkek had agreed to create a joint Russian military base in Kyrgyzstan. Other agreements are well under way. According to the general director of Kyrgyzgaz, Turgunbek Kulmurzayev, an agreement on the sale of a Kyrgyz gas monopoly to Gazprom is ready. According to a source in the government of the republic, RusHydro has begun work on the construction of four hydropower stations on the Naryn River, and next is the completion of a feasibility study on Kambarate-1.

    I think that the Kirghiz easily went to take shares from the son of the former president
    In his opinion, the estimated cost of the plant is $ 30 million, the territory of the military complex costs about $ 108 million.

    They were written off many times more loans
    The Kyrgyz government expects Moscow to appreciate Bishkek’s latest steps.

    It is necessary to evaluate not only the "last" steps, but the entire "dance" complex of "one step forward, two steps back" wink

      So this is most likely due to the cancellation of debts.

      To pick up, since the money does not get the debt, maybe it is right. But is there anyone now to work at that plant? And then from our profile not only "Dagdizel", but even Moscow firms, such as "KB Mashinostroeniya", sit almost without work.

    The torpedo production site has been "prayed for" and I hope it will be quickly restored.
    New torpedoes are needed. And the places are picturesque.

    The right decision about the purchase. If you do not take the plant under control, then the Chinese or someone else will take it over. Although technologies are outdated, there are certainly new developments. In no case can a loss of technology be allowed.

    Well, why do we need a defense plant in Kyrgyzstan? There are no workers (the Russians worked, but they left)! There is no security (secret torpedoes in Kyrgyzstan are unrealistic)! The equipment is still Soviet, the entire documentation on the torpedoes of the Kyrgyz has already been sold.

    Time will show how effective this "acquisition" will be. Although, "they are plagued by vague doubts" ... On the outskirts of the former Soviet Union, it is more expedient to produce not so important "products", and certainly not for our defense. For an irresponsible rubbish - let it go.

        Is it worth it, the ransom?
        It’s worth it to lure the remaining specialists, as with Vikramaditya, but take the territory ... Well, let's buy it. Well, we’ll invest billions in building from scratch.
        Well, another Yushchenko will come there and cover everything with a copper basin. Do we need it?

      I agree, you just need to immediately recall the experience of evacuating enterprises in 1941 beyond the Urals (now literally beyond the Urals it is not necessary), so to speak, to protect them from political prostitution of the "leaders" of territorial entities.

    -pensioner: On Issyk-Kul like torpedoes tested?
    Before the “collapse”, tests of marine underwater weapons were carried out at training grounds located in Ukraine in the city of Feodosia (Crimea), in Georgia in Gagra (Abkhazia), in Kyrgyzstan on Lake Issyk-Kul, and also in Russia on Lake Ladoga. The latter is freshwater and SEASONAL. The rest are year-round. In Abkhazia (they say) looted.
    -Sergey Medvedev: I believe that such a super-weapon as "Shkval" should be produced only on the territory of Russia
    Dastan produces elements for warheads ("brains") of "Shkval" -type sea torpedoes.
    And rightly so, that they sold it. Kyrgyzstan does not need these products, the power is not marine.
    Turks are NATO members. Their standard is "Murena" (France), MK-46, MK-48 (USA) ...
    Iran buys inexpensive Chinese "clones" and he brings them to the required characteristics.
    The main consumers of the Russian Federation, India, "non-aligned" countries, including the republics of the former USSR.
    PS A fellow warrant officer ("secretary") tried to get a job at the base in Przhevalsk (Karakol), but did not "pull" - they asked for more than 2000 rubles, ~ an annual salary.
    PP.S Regarding the "outdated" weapon.
    Fourth generation torpedoes "Physicist", "Kant-4M", development of fifth generation torpedo missiles of the "Lomonos" type. They are less heavy, less "noisy".

    The need for the plant was calculated back in Soviet times for a reason. The main focus of the plant, yes, defense, and namely the manufacture and sea trials of torpedoes of the Shkval family. From zero to full completion. Sea trials were carried out at Issyk-Kul, there was a whole station, with a rather large water area of ​​the lake bay, guarded by marines from the Black Sea Fleet. The water-salt balance of the lake corresponded to the sea one, and was available all year round. The plant was formerly called "Fizpribory" The main direction of the plant's specialization is the production of radio-electronic industrial equipment, the creation and production of medical equipment. The Kyrgyz made up more than 56% of the workers, and there were quite a few of them in the design bureau, the Polytechnic Institute was and is not weak, and it trained good personnel. After all, besides this plant there was a "drill plant" which designed some parts of the first lunar rover, a computer plant, one of the by-products of the n \ x was a reel-to-reel tape recorder of the 50st class "Issyk-Kul", and a lot of things. Yes, many have left, but the plant is not bent, breathing. From the very beginning of the collapse, Kyrgyzstan never once raised the issue of a tough exit from the spheres of influence of Russia, each of the presidential runners understood that there would be a khan. Yes, and there were no questions about 1-3 military facilities in Russia. Just last year, Atambayev meowed about the payment. And in Manas launched amers (as they entered Afghanistan) after coordination with Russia. So there were no steps forward and two steps back.
