Military reversal: how Russia gain modern defense

111
Russia decided to consolidate all the enterprises of the space industry within a single structure. Will it help? The answer to this question may be worth looking for in the military-industrial complex.

Soon a year, as Sergei Shoigu became Minister of Defense. The information sources generated by the minister, the abandonment of the footcloths, military exercises, physical training among the troops, do not yet give an idea of ​​how he is going to solve the key problem of his department, which has a direct and serious influence on the country's economy. This is a rearmament of the army, which requires a lot of money.

Many economists are skeptical of the task of rearming the Russian army, they say, no major wars threaten us in the near future, the growth of government spending has already reached a dangerous limit, their further increase is fraught with a slowdown in the economy. However, rearmament cannot be postponed - the level of technological backlog of our army becomes critical, we can no longer live with the Armed forces equipped at the level of the second half of the XNUMXth century. In this sense, the country's authorities striving to use the current peace for Russia historical period for the modernization of the Armed Forces can be understood. In addition, the rearmament of the army is one of the projects that can seriously support economic growth.

It is logical that the state defense order increased from 300 billion rubles in 2007 to 1,3 trillion rubles in the current and could exceed 2 trillion rubles a year in the second half of the decade. Nevertheless, the real success is not visible: the pace of rearmament is low, there are many questions for new developments. And all this despite the huge costs.

Why? From the beginning of 2000, with the coming to power of Vladimir Putin, the policy regarding the defense industry was built on one very important idea - centralization.

Integrated holdings that united a wide range of design bureaus and enterprises — United Aircraft Building and Shipbuilding Corporation (UAC and USC), Almaz-Antey, Rostec (former Rostekhnologii), Moscow Institute of Heating Engineering "(The manufacturer of Topol-M, Iskander, Bulava), Tactical Missile Weapons, etc.) From an economic point of view, this meant one thing - the monopolization of the military-industrial complex, and therefore a huge risk that any subsequent Elijah will turn to the army re-growth of price tags without much success in the creation and delivery of modern weapons to the troops.

Actually, the dissatisfaction of the main customer for defense industry products - the Ministry of Defense - periodically broke through in price wars against manufacturers (the loudest conflict, of course, was the confrontation with USC for the purchase of submarines), then in making decisions about purchasing military equipment abroad. However, the ex-minister Serdyukov could not do anything systematically with the growing monopolism of producers, the situation inevitably fell into the plane of personal and clan conflicts, in which Serdyukov eventually lost.
For any defense minister, the main question is what to do with the monopolies of the defense industry.

In the defense complex, it is necessary to begin work as soon as possible on analyzing the effectiveness of this model and developing an alternative.
It is not necessary to crush defense enterprises. Privatization is not a panacea either, the defense industry may remain in the hands of the state (although many manufacturers of weapons in developed countries are in private hands). However, even under state control, it is highly desirable to create several competing production and development centers. weapons. That was even in Soviet times. The result of monopolization and lack of alternatives can be not only inflated prices, but also the death of significant capital and risks to the country's defense. Let us recall the story of the acceptance of the Bulava missile, which, despite the high percentage of unsuccessful launches, was simply "dragged" - because, according to the officials of the Ministry of Defense, there was nothing to replace it with.

If Sergei Shoigu does not raise the issue of the global reversal of the policy of centralization and monopolization of the military-industrial complex with the aim of developing competition, it will face either Serdyukov’s fate (violent price wars with monopolists-producers with the prospect of losing their post), or the lot of a weak minister - a “checkbook” for all-powerful lobbyists from the defense industry. In this case, they are guaranteed to eat up huge budgets, but may well leave us without a modern army.

      Comrade Stalin had no problems with the monopolies. Because Comrade Stalin was able to delve into the problems of how to make airplanes, how to make tanks, which of the generals is capable of what.

      And modern effective managers are not able to understand the problem that they are leading. For them, only financial flows and outflows are important, and, in other respects, for them all operations are of the same type.

          Absolute nonsense. What kind of control over production, if the plants simply do not have time to fulfill orders? The defense industry complex got so dead to Rogozin that it’s premature to speak of any maneuver possibilities now.
          The state defense order is huge and it is planned even more, only to whom and on what to do it? Factories are sitting stupidly without personnel. Those who can do it are far from pensioners ... Young people can only talk now. No vocational schools are there. , which the defense industry enterprises have not seen yet .... years.
          In order to work, it is necessary to modernize, train personnel and introduce real control on the part of military representatives. But this is a perspective

            The only more or less reasonable comment. The rest are all nonsense about Serdyukov, then about the great Stalin and the effectiveness of the military-industrial complex of the USSR, then about corruption, then about punishment ...
            In fact, in order to ensure the creation of QUALITY WEAPONS, in addition to what was said in the commentary, it is necessary to create conditions for the developers and manufacturers to fight for their quality.
            And this is possible only in conditions of fierce competition.
            And while the entire military-industrial complex will be in the hands of the state, this, for obvious reasons, cannot be realized.
            As for the Soviet military-industrial complex, those who personally came across the then-weapons are well aware how industry turned great ideas into a huge number of surplus weapons with a very low quality - they were chasing the quantity.
            They completely forgot what Lenin wrote - "Better less, but better".

              IMHO stupidity in the Gaidar style. Fierce (honest) competition is possible ONLY in the conditions of an unbiased competition, which is a priori impossible, a company richer and closer to financial flows will ALWAYS sell its product. Most often, just stupidly ruining competitors. Is there much competition in the manufacture of American nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and at least fighters? Or, to hell with it, small arms, not unit, but mass?

              And which private traders will honestly compete fiercely among themselves?
              For today's "effective managers" - tough competition is the order of a competitor to killers. To cops or legalists or other "legalists".
              Private capital will never be interested in fierce competition - the main task of the private trader is to keep the company with maximum income.
              And investing in training reduces income. Although it improves the survival of the enterprise. But income is greatly reduced.

              Salary should depend on the quality of the product. But only.

        "In other words, do we have the correct economic management of factories, factories, mines? Is everything all right here?"
        Unfortunately, not everything is going well here. And we, as Bolsheviks, must say this directly and openly.
        What does it mean to run production? We do not always have a Bolshevik view of the question of managing enterprises. We often think that to lead is to sign papers, orders. It's sad, but true. Sometimes you involuntarily remember Shchedrin's pompadours. Remember how the pompadour taught the young pompadour: do not rack your brains over science, do not delve into the matter, let others do it, it is not your business, it is your business to sign the papers. We must admit, to our shame, that among us Bolsheviks there are quite a few of those who lead by signing papers. But in order to delve into the matter, master the technique, become the master of the business - on this score, no, no. "

        We meet with the RF Ministry of Defense and a group of nimble young people with shifting eyes. The question of the future of the enterprise, which employs 3,5 thousand people. Then I first heard this definition: "effective manager". Pretended to be a hose and so naively ask: “What does“ EFFECTIVE MANAGER ”mean? One of the quickie wrinkled his forehead and began to sing songs to me on economic topics. I interrupt him: but in a simple way, on the fingers, what does this mean? - It turns out that everything is very just unfinished monetarists: An effective manager is considered to be a manager who brings the company an income not lower than the% rate on the capital invested in the bank, which he is entrusted with managing! AND ALL !!! And no worries about the employee who hunches down to feed his family, no worries about the city-forming value of this plant, nor about marketable products: sales, logistics, etc.
        I ask him: where did he work, what did he do, where did he study? Again, everything is simple: the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University (!), Postgraduate studies, internships in Britain and then to the "team". And who is dad? Head of the Department of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade ... Oh! bump.
        So snotty boys who didn’t smell gunpowder, who didn’t stand by the machine, and who were not masters of production, began to speculatively steer and give advice to those in power.
        And you ask, why is it so bad? THEY LIKE THE DEAD: IRON RUBLES (DOLLARS) ON THE EYES. and because of them the people cannot be discerned, and the country's problems too. So until professional production workers inside out who know all the industry’s problems, we don’t see any luck!

      And I got the impression that the author is nostalgic for the bygone days and regrets an effective manager by the name of Serdyukov (I apologize for writing it with a capital letter). His struggle with those who wear epaulets, with the army as a whole, with the traditions of the officer corps is well known to everyone. So his next fight with the monopolists from the military-industrial complex should not be credited to him. The ears of his personal interest in such a struggle stick out very strongly. Apparently it's time for us to take an example from China, at least from the last death sentence there to the Minister of Railway Transport. You look, and all those in power who were in charge of the affairs of their ministries would take care, and would not try to find a feeder in this chair or publicize their person in it with mediocre and populist movements

        Alas, even I found such a fight long before Serdyukov. Our history is such that officers are periodically destroyed. Remember Suvorov and his officers, who were ditched for the most part by Paul 1, remember the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812, remember the revolution, remember the Stalin purges, remember the post-war dismissals the most respected, remember Khrushchev with global dismissal, remember the EBN, which dispersed the most prepared units of the GRU and the KGB ... So Serdyukov did not invent anything new ...

      It’s not necessary to crush the defense industry hard. Privatization is also not a panacea, the defense industry may remain in the hands of the state (although many arms manufacturers in developed countries are in private hands). However, even under state control, the creation of several competing arms production and development centers is highly desirable. That was even in Soviet times.
      Here are my keywords! Competition, but under unobtrusive state supervision !!!

      There can be no talk of any revival of the military-industrial complex, equal in efficiency to the military-industrial complex of the USSR. the fundamental basis of Russia's existence has been changed. Instead of the planned economy and industry of the USSR, which relied on the labor cost of the product and non-cash financing, today there is only capitalist industry, which exists to maximize profits and minimize the costs of the production process. It is high time to forget the fairy tales about "competition" which supposedly allows you to reduce costs and get high quality. Well, "unobtrusive state control" is generally an anecdote. All cartels and corporations have strong ties with lobbyists from the "power vertical" and all orders are distributed according to the principle "which corporation brings the most to the right floor of the" power vertical "and wins the competition. That's all the mechanics. Therefore, the costs of development and production will grow rapidly, and efficiency and quality will also rapidly decline.This is what we have seen for the last fifteen years from a potential enemy, as well as from ourselves.But the enemy has a much more powerful scientific and production base and funding, which is an order of magnitude greater than the Russian budget. no shoigi-putins will change anything in the situation, even if they really wanted to, because they are one of the foremost workers of capitalist labor in Russia.

        I agree with almost all your conclusions, except the main one. It seems to me all the same it is possible. At a new level, without copying the Soviet model. The GOZ is the real knight for the development of industry. Huge money, naturally, gives rise to the same great desire to rake it for yourself.
        And from here, the state distributing state defense orders has the opportunity not only to control production (and the capitalist will allow it for that kind of money), but also, in case of failure to fulfill any order item, change the contractor. As is done in the same states.
        Another thing is that now we do not have such monsters that would be able to independently carry out state defense orders without the help of the state ..
        But in a couple of three years, I think, everything will be just that.

          In fact, all well-known private corporations have grown from state-owned enterprises.
          And Boeing and Lockheed and GM and others - all grew out of the state. And for government money.
          It is not important for a capitalist to do quality (quality is bought several times less often simply because it does not break), for a capitalist it is interesting to do a lot. And only the judicial system of elected judges who do not hesitate to satisfy millions of claims for compensation for moral damages for a penny commodity restrains the "Braking Company". And that's not always the case.

Having thrown out the experience of the Soviet regime in the trash, they dug up a problem that they themselves can’t solve. Liberist-shitty people are losing ground .That is, and cosmonautics will be reformed. But it is necessary to restore military acceptance with all rights.

      Private enterprises producing weapons for the country are not for Russia. Why? It is obvious . One has only to privatize any enterprise by "effective managers" (no matter what kind of products it produces, military or civilian) without state control, chaos begins. Those who worked in factories during the Soviet era know that for each enterprise there was a production plan in the event of a war. For this, machines and equipment were bought, which were little involved in the technological process of the enterprise, but in wartime, immediately on it (equipment) the production of defense products began. What do "effective managers" do? They immediately start selling, cutting into scrap metal that does not bring money, in spite of the fact that all this is needed for the war. Then comes the product review period, and the seeder plant starts producing condoms. All ! Workshops that are not needed are demolished (shopping centers are being built in their place), given to tenants (those who want and create, as long as the rent is paid). And the most important thing is that foreign sponsors (shareholders) either participate in the destruction of enterprises, or with their submission, or by pouring money in. And they are not fools! They will not support what could harm them, in terms of competition or in the case of the release of weapons. So the military-industrial complex is, and should remain in the hands of the state, and only under the strict control of the state. Otherwise, it will happen as with my native plant. Previously, the leader and monopolist in the production of specific types of equipment for metallurgy, oil and cement products, and now workshops. For that, all the documentation on the manufactured range of products was sold by the plant management ("effective managers") to China. How!

        Yes, if the United States did not make it clear that the leader of any country could be overthrown by force, regardless of international law. If it had not been shown to the whole world that only strong armed forces and the presence of nuclear weapons are a guarantee of sovereignty, our military-industrial complex would have waited for money before the Carrotkin conspiracy.

        Even now, GDP does not have a systematic approach to solving the problems of the armed forces. Everything continues according to the old proven scheme; the creation of a monopoly, the allocation of this monopoly of funds, rollback. Only now they decided that the monopolies should not only saw and roll, but also produce world-class products. Hello opa new year. Not for these monopolies were created, there was no this function when they were created.

              The highlight of the Soviet system was not the inevitability of punishment. The trick was different: there was no point in stealing a lot and "in reserve". While the official was sitting in his chair, he already had all the benefits: special rations, special hospitals, special sanatoriums, etc. But as soon as an official flew out of this chair, he not only lost access to all these "specials", he also could not compensate for it at the expense of what was stolen in advance. So how "those who need it" immediately came and asked - where did the firewood come from? And they quickly wrote out a "ticket to Siberia", without bothering with the opinion of any "human rights activists" there. In general, the owners of the stolen gold could only wither over it, but put it on and go out - no, no. The point is to steal in such conditions?
              Plus, this system quite successfully controlled itself: the higher-ranking chief kept a watchful eye on all the subordinates, so that they would not inadvertently build a dacha higher than his, or buy a car bypassing the "special queue". And in which case - stopped.
              It is clear that there were those who did steal and hoard ... but their number, in comparison with the livestock of the current "managers", as well as the number of stolen ones, can be ignored. Too small a fraction of a percentage will turn out.

Almaz-Antey is the same garbage: after the merger, it is decided to produce the diamond c400 instead of the Anteev c300BM (or vice versa - I do not remember), which has characteristics in some respects superior to that of the competitor c400. After acquiring 100% of the monopoly, the performance characteristics of the developed weapons begin to be underestimated - this is unambiguous.
    The experience of the USSR has shown the advantage of several state bureau in one direction.

    The main thing in the revival of the defense industry is to create such a system that talented people are promoted to key posts.
    The director should not "push" his own child to the position of a leading or chief engineer, but a worthy one.
    This is possible only when the manager firmly knows that he is responsible for the task assigned by the "head" and to complete the task of creating new models of weapons and military equipment, good modernization of old ones, etc., without risking his head (or ass laughing ) he can relying not on bastards and relatives, but on real professional specialists.

      Today, the message was again: Serdyukov caught in the sale of the lake

      Three billion rubles worth of fraud with lands in the Moscow Region were uncovered at the Ministry of Defense. 140 hectares of forest land and the so-called general's lake were sold illegally, at the same time at a lower price.
      As the audit of the Audit Chamber showed, the military should have been returned to the Federal Forestry Agency in the area of ​​the Nakhabino village of the Krasnogorsk district of the Moscow Region, which had previously been a training ground. However, by order of the Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, they sold it at prices below market prices for a number of commercial companies.


      Only here again, the stool itself seems to have nothing to do with: On the fact of illegal sale of land, the main military prosecutor's office (GWP) began an audit. According to its results, a criminal case may be initiated against the heads of the property relations department of the Ministry of Defense.

    Before talking about the defense industry, you need to decide on a military doctrine. Then it will become clear what types of weapons and military equipment are needed here and now, and with which you can wait a bit. And not try to copy stupidly what the United States and its allies are doing. The economy is not a rubber one, and people are already tired of waiting for a "bright tomorrow."

Either to build aircraft carriers, or not to build, or to buy military equipment and weapons from a potential enemy, or not to buy. Either create conditions for competition, then merge everything into uncontrollable monsters of concerns. And while all this rushes back and forth, some clever little people from the same concerns and their controlling organizations of the Customer quietly saw the budget. Take the same ships. What's the use of brand new destroyers or elephant-like Mistrals if their air cover is more than weak. Those. as well as before the Second World War, there is no most important clear balance of the Armed Forces in terms of forces and means. Those. Of course, there will be enough forces for a retaliatory or preemptive nuclear strike. And if you have to bump without them, how then?

    How does capitalism do it? The SGA does not have a military-industrial complex. Yes, yes, that's exactly what it is, if you approach the matter mathematically. They have firms that carry out military orders. Earlier, by the way, it was not so, therefore "military equipment" during, say, the Vietnam War was synonymous with a bad, low-quality, crooked product. That is, if a company is on a military contract, it is long and expensive. The company becomes impudent, lowers the quality below the plinth, delays the deadlines ... So they are now carrying out military orders by completely civilian firms, as part of their order portfolio. We can't afford it, we can't print enough money. We simply have nothing to create, but we will create - there is no one to sell the products of giant holdings like American ones. And we don't have many decades ...
    Consolidation and downsizing is always and everywhere - a method of rampant theft. Where is the trillion ?! Well, while enlarged, they lost something, something rotted, something fell apart ... through negligence. Who will answer ?! I had already quit by then, Ivan Ivanovich hadn’t taken up duties yet ... look for winds in the field. In itself, this action is absolutely useless, harmful and costly.
    What positive scenario can Rogozin lay here? In times of organizational chaos and general shake-up, you can try to remove the most stupid and greedy thieves. Because in the high-level management we have no specialists left at all, not a single one. And the range of tasks is radically changing, formalizing public funds for various private accounts is no longer enough, something needs to be issued. None of the modern "military-industrial complex" generals at the moment is able to release anything like that, only steal. So they will try to drive them away. Perhaps they will try to replace them with factory directors, some managed to survive, having a real higher education behind them, or even a non-stick degree (this is generally fantastic, but here ...).
    Of course, against the backdrop of a terrible desert, on which public funds are pouring, and from them only dust rises (towards the border) and no more results, this reform will bring results. But for the resuscitation of the military-industrial complex, this is absolutely not enough. We must not even ensure parity, we must have answers to any military threats that the West provides in abundance. And not in 30-50 years, but right tomorrow!
    Well, we will put directors in the leadership of the industry. They will come to the ministries ... but they will not receive money! That is, the whole year not a penny, and whatever you do - it is you who are to blame! Then they will be given money ... but they will not be allowed to work. And they will also blame everything on them. The system has been worked out a long time ago, how to devour a technocrat who is preoccupied (here is a lousy, ah!) With some kind of production instead of the venerable deed of high officials - the creation of groups for a systematic, unhurried, deeply echeloned derban of the state, this is just in the blood of our officials, in the bones ... Neither technocrats nor Rogozin can cope. And so it will be as long as the supreme power dull dejectedly “we are not in the 37th year” ... Until the 37th, it’s stupid to even stutter about the modernization of the military-industrial complex!

There is no need to go far for examples, it is enough to remember how the issue of rearming the army in the first half of the last century (1941-1945) was resolved. Therefore, it seems to me that the President will soon get tired of this orgy and some who will find out what it means to "wet in the toilet.

They have no analogues in the world and will return to service updated and equipped with the latest weapons," he assured representative of the Navy.
    He specified that the "cruiser" Admiral Nakhimov ", the active phase of modernization of which will begin this year, is planned to be transferred to the Pacific Fleet." Following it, the cruisers "Admiral Ushakov" and "Admiral Lazarev" will be upgraded, - added the representative of the General Staff. According to him, obsolete radio-electronic equipment will be replaced on heavy cruisers and new computer equipment will be installed. The ships will be equipped with the latest weapons, including replacing the Granit missile system.

    I agree with those who believe that the article is not about anything. So reasoning in the style of "the sky is blue and the grass is green." Who said that a private trader in the military-industrial complex will be more competitive? and what prices will be lower? And it is not the Minister of Defense who decides what the military-industrial complex should be. But what is being done now, the return of military representatives, the revival of military academies and universities, the restoration of the military-industrial complex, after the total sale in the 90s, I am sure will raise the Russian army to a much higher level. The problem is that a few more years of such a policy in the field of education will have to buy developers from abroad, but who will implement these developments? Well, maybe we will hire the Chinese, let them earn money. And we will "grimace" on YouTube and "bang our heads against the wall" and drag ourselves from our stupidity by +100500.

    In the USSR under Stalin, talented people were sought and given to work. Degtyarev, Ilyushin, Yakovlev, Kalashnikov - this list can be continued for a very long time. But today, professionals are out of work - they prevent theft.

    For the failure of the state order, the leaders of the defense industry complex must answer with their heads. It’s a pity there’s nothing to go into. Wolf ticket and instead of leadership in the defense industry complex in Siberia raise his mother the future nurse, closer to the Arctic Circle with his family. Knowing the possible future, the head will work in the right direction, and not count the profits. And indeed, anywhere in the world, a person needs demand, and if they ask from the bottom, the upper classes are exempted from any responsibility, and you won’t understand, in case of failure, whether they are fools or even higher ones who are even stupid.

    Military reversal: how Russia gain modern defense

    how, how ... To take an example from the Chinese comrades: not in the sense of buying samples over the hill, studying and cloning - but in terms of the attitude towards the officials who steal. Stole is a capital measure with the confiscation of everything, and not house arrests with the right to go to boutiques, and excuses like "he didn't know, he was framed."
    Then the military-industrial complex will be at the level, both the combat-ready army and the well-fed soldiers.

    Yah! And who told you that?
    Read, for example, the book "On Peacefully Sleeping Airfields" (and the first edition is better)
    There, among other things, it deals with what can really be verified more or less after so many years - what decisions were made by the "effective manager" Stalin. What options did he have, which ones did he choose. This will help you understand how much he was "versed" in aviation topics and "personnel".

      About the "manager" I. Stalin. Manager in quotes.

      "In the Battle of Kursk, Stalin found a way out of a hopeless situation:
      the Germans were going to use a "technical novelty" - the tanks "Tiger" and "Panther", against which our artillery was powerless.
      Stalin remembered his support for the development of explosives A-IX-2
      and new experimental bombs PTAB, and gave the assignment:
      by May 15, i.e. by the time the roads dry out, produce 800 thousand of these bombs.
      150 factories of the Soviet Union rushed to fulfill this order and completed.
      As a result, near Kursk, the German army was deprived of striking power by the tactical novelty of Stalin - the PTAB-2,5-1,5 bomb.

      The usual norm for Stalin to read literature was about 300 pages per day.
      He was constantly engaged in self-education.
      After his death, books with his notes from the library in the Near Summer Cottage were transferred to the Institute of Marxism-Leninism. There were 5,5 thousand of them!
      Stalin's personal archive was destroyed.
      Under Stalin, the country in difficult conditions, but in the shortest possible time abruptly rushed forward, and this means that at the indicated time there were a lot of smart people in the country.
      And this is indeed so, since Stalin attached great importance to the minds of USSR citizens. He was the smartest person, and he was sick of being surrounded by fools, he strove for the whole country to be smart. The basis for the mind, for creativity is knowledge. Knowledge of everything. And so much has never been done to provide people with knowledge, to develop their mind, as under Stalin.
      Stalin did not fight vodka; he fought for people's free time.
      Amateur sports were developed extremely and it was amateur sports.
      Each enterprise and institution had sports teams and athletes from its employees. More or less large enterprises were required to have and maintain stadiums. We played everything and everything.
      Stalin tore off diplomatic relations with Israel only for
      that something like a grenade was blown up on the territory of the USSR mission in Israel. This explosion injured mission personnel.
      The Israeli government rushed to the USSR with an apology, but the Stalinist USSR did not forgive such an attitude towards itself.
      Despite the severance of diplomatic relations,
      on the day of Stalin's death, national mourning was declared in Israel ... "

    However, ex-minister Serdyukov could not do anything systematically ...

    It’s time to no longer hesitate to call a spade a spade. He did what he did. He got it.
    Rearmament problems do not run into cosmetic defects of "capitalism" - namely, capitalism itself. Stalin is now often remembered - he was, in fact, a great manager. Lenin's grandfather is "for some reason" forgotten, but his assessments of rotten capitalism and its terminal phase - imperialism - are read very freshly. The goal of the capitalist is to maximize profits with a minimum of COSTS. The quality and quantity of weapons - as well as the qualifications of personnel, the state of fixed assets, kindergartens and pioneer camps for the children of employees - are exactly the COSTS. Although this is what took out the defense industry - and made it the locomotive of the country's development. With defective managers - read, gravediggers - all this is cut off. Therefore, in the current conditions, this paradigm -
    In addition, the rearmament of the army is one of the projects that can seriously support economic growth. - does not work. Because the holey barrel is not filled - both money and technology will flow away. And the state defense order is sooooo tidbit. Twenty TRILLIONS - to saw and saw.
