Difficult questions about military reform in Russia

35
At the Carnegie Moscow Center 11 on July 2013, a presentation was made of a study prepared within the framework of the “Problems of Non-Proliferation” program on the topic: “Russia's Military Reform: State and Prospects.”

Among the invitees were well-known Russian experts in the field of military policy and international security, employees of foreign embassies, the NATO Information Office in Moscow and employees of foreign media.

A representative of the information agency “Weapon Of Russia, ”expert of the Association of military political scientists Alexander Perendzhiev.

The event was hosted by Dmitry Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, and Viktor Litovkin, executive editor of the Independent Military Review.

The study was presented by its authors - Chairman of the program “Problems of non-proliferation Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexei Arbatov and leading researcher of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Major General (retired) Vladimir Dvorkin.

Difficult questions about military reform in RussiaExecutive editor of Independent Military Review Viktor Litovkin

At the beginning of the presentation, instead of the traditional reports, Viktor Litovkin invited the authors of the study and all those gathered to focus on the discussion of the following issues:

1. What is different about the reform of C.K. Shoigu from the reform A.E. Serdyukov? Or is it a reform - one under the leadership of President of the Russian Federation A.D. Medvedev, and another under the leadership of the head of state V.V. Putin's?

2. What do the authors and all the participants of a scientific forum think about the return of divisions in the structure of the Armed Forces of Russia?

3. What happens to the rearmament of the army and fleet? How effective is it? After all, even representatives of the top military-political leadership recognize serious problems in ensuring communications and command and control!


4. What is changing in the recruitment of troops? Senior military leaders also admit that at the present time it is only possible to recruit troops with 80%.

Chairman of the “Nonproliferation Problems” program Academician Alexei Arbatov

Answering the questions posed by Academician AG Arbatov explained that he was sympathetic to Sergei Shoigu, who, firstly, tries to save those areas that are in the “collapse” stage of Serdyukov’s actions and, if possible, restore what he lost:

  • stop the sale of property and its return to the state
  • stop dismantling and destruction of military camps
  • restore the work system of military medicine
  • return the most intelligent cadres dismissed from the army
  • to stop the destruction of the military education and science system, to restore the lost positions in this area

    However, according to A.G. Arbatov, no reform under the leadership of S.K. Shoigu is not there now, but steps have been taken towards greater openness of the military sphere. Dmitry Medvedev, being on the post of the head of state, did not play any role in the reform and did not delve into any questions. Everything was agreed with V.V. Putin Therefore, this is Putin's reform!

    At the same time, the transformations carried out in the military sphere can be divided into two parts:

    The first part - “Serdyukov’s reform” is connected with the sale of property. The Ministry of Defense had resources that needed to be used in the interests of the development of the country's military organization. But it is not clear whether anyone controlled A.E. Serdyukov as Minister of Defense in the management of these resources? Did he report on his actions in this area?

    The second part - “Makarov’s reform” consisted in the reorganization of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Almost all planned activities were correct. But now everything was put into practice absolutely wrong, with costs, and the essence of the conceived was emasculated.

    Head of the Center for International Security, IMEMO RAN, AG Arbatov believes that the transition to a brigade troop command and control system is fully justified by the existing military-political situation. Our country will not conduct major military operations, neither against NATO nor against anyone, he concluded.

    At the same time, the existing rearmament program resembles, first of all, a sum of wishes from various subjects of the military sphere, but not a well-thought-out armament strategy for the purpose of conducting certain military operations.

    That is, the goal of the program so far is only one - just to change the old equipment to a new one without a clear understanding of the question: what weapons and equipment and what quality should our Armed Forces need to be equipped with? At the same time, the stated figures of the program are economically unrealistic.

    Neither the USA nor the European countries could implement such a program at the present time. But maybe China, if it is strongly podnapryagsya!

    Leading Researcher, IMEMO RAN, Major General (retired) Vladimir Dvorkin

    Major General (retired) V.Z. Dvorkin, answering the questions posed, noted that currently SK Shoigu carries out the instructions of the head of state "to make a fine polishing." At the same time, the reform of Serdyukov is also the fulfillment of the commands of V.V. Putin's

    Evaluating the return to the divisions, the leading researcher of the IMEMO RAN drew the attention of the participants to the fact that the brigade is currently capable of fighting 5-6 hours. For more it is not enough. However, as modern experience shows, more than half of the brigade’s personnel are used for maintenance.

    According to V.Z. Dvorkin, sudden inspections showed that a large territory of Russia requires the creation of such a military structure as the Operational Redeployment Command. At the same time, he drew the attention of the presentation participants to the problems of staffing the modern Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: the lack of a scientific school, the loss of professionalism, which affects the recruitment of units serving modern military equipment and weapons.

    However, there is a suspicion that the real goal of the formation of scientific companies is to create comfortable conditions for the children of high officials, since under the new law it prohibits the recruitment of persons who have not served in the army to the state civil service.

    Commenting on the prospects for rearmament of the army and navy, V.Z. Dvorkin expressed concern about the high level of corruption in the field of government orders, which was noted in a recent report by the Chief Military Prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky.

    The leader of the scientific forum V. Litovkin decided to draw the attention of its participants to the positive moments in the military sphere:
    the number of field exercises increased, more joint military exercises - motorized infantry units began to be held, tanksartillery aviation and fleet
    139 Thousands of people standing in line received apartments

    But at the same time, the NVO executive editor questioned the correctness of the decision to replace the order in which the apartment was provided “in kind” with money. This is fraught with fraud, he said.

    During the discussion of the research results and the questions posed by the forum participants the following problems were identified:

    1. Despite the negative experience of leadership of the military department A.E. Serdyukov, it is still necessary to move towards the development of civil and parliamentary control over the Armed Forces and the appointment of a civilian to the post of Minister of Defense.

    2. What army should be - contract (voluntary) or draft (mobilization)? The authors of the study advocate the idea of ​​refusing conscription, arguing, first of all, that a lot of money is spent on organizing recruiting campaigns and initial training of personnel. The freed up monetary resources could just be spent on the contract pay. At the same time, it was noted that the service life of one year does not justify itself. At present, a conscript soldier is an inefficient soldier who has low professionalism and is not able to handle modern weapons and equipment, to fully fulfill the assigned combat missions. There are a large number of suicides, injuries, desertions, etc. among conscripts. With the army of modern draftees, it is impossible to master new modern technologies in the military.

    3. In addition to increasing the monetary allowance, servicemen must return a full-fledged social package. A good incentive for the recruitment of contract servicemen could be the provision of full-service housing. At the same time, it is necessary to restore the rear support system (including medicine, food, etc.).

    4. The experience of the United States and other developed countries in switching to a contract army showed that such a transition could not be effectively carried out without attracting women to military service.

    5. During the various transformations in the military sphere, the society is informed about the participants in this process, but there is no information about the responsible persons and subjects for the final result.

    6. At present, the state order is being carried out not only to re-equip the army and navy, but also to support the city-forming enterprises and solve other social problems.

    The representative of the news agency “Russia's Arms”, an expert of the Association of Military Political Scientists Alexander Perendzhiev drew attention to the fact that it is not enough for the military expert community to focus only on studying military-administrative and military-social issues. It is also necessary to thoroughly analyze the system of legislative support for the activities and reform of the Armed Forces in order to develop legislation and establish clear legal rules in the military sphere. Perhaps this is one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of military reform.

        Government officials, listen more, paid Americans, advisers. They will advise you - leave the state without an efficient army and navy.
        There already "The head of the Center for International Security of the IMEMO RAN A.G. Arbatov believes that ... our country will not conduct major military operations either against NATO or against anyone.".
        They sailed called. And if NATO starts the first military operations, then THAT, too, "we will not conduct major military operations." To chase such advisers "by the neck", they smell of betrayal of Russia's interests a mile away.
        Similarly, it is possible to consider "advice" on the withdrawal of the army "by conscription".
        Only enemies of Russia can advise, to the largest state on the territory, the refusal of conscription and mobilization reserve.
        So, already a drunkard and puppet of the United States, Yeltsin destroyed the mobilization reserve of officers, having refused to train reserve officers at the military departments of civilian universities, reduced the conscription service from 2 years to 1 year, which also frustrated the preparation of the army mobilization staff in terms of qualification training.
        And now, after Serdyukov's "reforms", they have already decided to "polish" the Russian army, i.e. practically destroy it in terms of readiness to defend the Motherland.
        It seems that the supreme power in Russia is controlled from the ocean, from the United States. There is no other way to explain all these "reform steps".

          Gubankov composed and performed rap to increase the authority of the Russian army and the prestige of military service. He himself admits that he was encouraged by the recent board of the Ministry of Defense for such an unusual way of communicating with his audience. They discussed the problems of the army service, in particular contract service.

        It is imperative to get rid of endless reforms and irresponsible reformers. In the article - a lot has been said correctly. I did not notice only one thing - it was conducting experimental activities (exercises, campaigns, managing military organizations in everyday activities, etc.), followed by evaluating the results and carrying out scientific justifications for certain actions. Some speakers unconditionally stated the correctness of the creation of the brigade structure. Interestingly, did anyone recall the failed teachings of the 74 Brigade? Has anyone asked about the possibility of training, and especially the combat use of mixed artillery brigades? Dumb and irresponsible copying of the American structure, carried out without proper calculations and research (which spent a lot of money, broke thousands of officer destinies and the fate of their wives and children) - from my point of view - CRIME. And it’s all the more shameful when MO Serdyukov (excuse me, but I can’t write this surname with a capital letter) is asked about serious things, and he’s asking his assistant, “but how is this decided by them?” Is not a reform, but an attempt fit the existing and hundreds of times proven structure of our armed forces to the structure of the enemy, which has been beaten more than once.
        And there are plenty of questions on other topics under consideration. It is a pity that in matters of defense and near-defense space the leadership is not entirely responsible, knowledgeable and not patriotic people. Apparently they were paid. Or are afraid to please Magnitsky’s list

        Any system without development (reform) dies .... More honest and decent people in power are needed, and honesty and decency go through life along with the inevitability of adequate punishment, for corruption and theft in the first place ..... We need 37 years to burn out Serdyukovschina, Chubayshchina and other evil spirits that are like cancer on the body of Mother Russia ... To carry out such radical, but vital for the country measures, a person of Stalin level and popular control are required. Why is 37 years needed? Yes, because liberalists are like sucking ticks, they simply will not give up power ....

      Both Serdyukov and Shoigu are 2 parts of the same Military Reform project. One had to break everything, so to speak, "clear the area", play the role of a "scapegoat" and "dump", and then another, "good" one came to build on the "cleared field". An old anecdote "About two foremen". And the "puppeteer" calmly does "everything according to plan", and will not surrender Taburetkin, not according to his rules, whose will he executed? AND?

      Despite the negative experience of the leadership of the military department A.E. Serdyukov, it is still necessary to move towards the development of civilian and parliamentary control over the Armed Forces and the appointment of a civilian as Minister of Defense.
      Perhaps the scariest item in my opinion.

      Which army should be - contract (volunteer) or draft (mobilization)?
      Mixed should be. Term 2 year minimum. With the army of modern draftees, one can master new modern technologies in military affairs, if these draftees are not left to their own devices or as slaves.


      3. I agree.

      The experience of the United States and other developed states in the transition to a contract army has shown that it is impossible to effectively carry out such a transition without involving women in military service.

      The main thing in the essence of the military reform of Serdyukov-Makarov was not a property sale (this is just a collateral, for the satisfaction of more personal than state) and not a reform of the army structure. Look at the root. Under the Soviet army, the soldiers, mostly workers and peasants, defended the people's property. Now the same immigrants from the workers and peasants, but already more marginal, driven in most cases to a hopeless situation by unemployment and poverty, but must already defend the stolen by a small handful of scoundrels. Such an army under the banners, which says "For DERIPASKU (ABRAMOVICH, VEKSELBERG, etc.)" is unlikely to go to a bloody battle. So it was required to change, FIRSTLY, THE STAFF BASIS - THE OFFICER STAFF OF THE ARMY. Those who were brought up under the slogan "Everything that is created by the people must be reliably protected!" were expelled indiscriminately and evaluation of business qualities. Which was successfully done by Serdyukov and Makarov.
      And the reform of the structure of the Armed Forces was carried out according to the recommendations .... and under the examples of AMER. I agree, the battalion use of troops is possible and better ... both in command ... and in training ... and redeployment ... and in the formation of an army group to solve specific and specific tasks. So we switched to brigade formations. Well, ALMOST like in the USA. That's just about ALMOST and the whole question. In the US Army there are higher centers ... an analogue of our divisions, which have a large rear storage of the necessary weapons and military equipment. And when a group of several different battalions is formed, rear specialists come into play, which quickly provide these battalions with everything necessary for this operation. In our country, however, all the scarce logistical support was closed to brigades ...
      The second disastrously big minus of the ongoing reform is that it sharply weakened our combat capabilities FOR FREE. Such a reform essentially deprived our army of quickly deploying a full reserve, in the absence of a trained mobility reserve.
      I don’t even speak about the judges and evaluators of our reforms ... the above is said well and true.

      Yes, what to say, we have arrived! Well, well, gentlemen trying to crush the whole world for themselves are "concerned" with the military reforms of Russia, which they consider their most implacable enemy. God save from such "caring", and our 5 column in all its glory presented. Well, they would say directly: the State Department. The United States is concerned about military reforms in Russia. Now it became obvious that Emperor Alexander III said that Russia has two allies - the Army and the Navy. And in general, as Chinese wisdom says: God forbid you to live in an era of change (read reforms). the advice of these "caring" is like asking a thief for advice on where to keep money ...

      Serdyukov's "reforms" are the direct responsibility of the then chairman of the cabinet of ministers, comrade Putin. The bear is out of business here at all.

      Let’s, as President Lukashenka said, separate flies from cutlets. All ongoing reforms, from which it is already shaking, in all areas of the country’s activities go from the president - this is army reform, reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences, introduction of the Unified State Exam, all this is from the president and his command. All that we see is the support of the hated Chubais, Minister Taburetkin, the landing of Kvachkov and Khabarov. Financing of nothingness in ROSNA, we will soon begin lifting the sunken ships from the bottom of the Baltic Sea (although it is very interesting), and there will be money. Failure to complete the construction of apartments for war participants, the collapse of the housing and communal services and the transfer of property for feeding to special services. Full and not the president in the media for all the misfortunes. Divorce and maiden name. Is this a role model? or a conscious policy of strengthening personal power. But scientific vomiting, there is no benefit from them and will not be, this is an invention for the excuse of the sons of oligarchs and officials. So much for reform.

        good This does not reach many. All the fuck "look" want, and what's next.
        Well Carnegie, then what?
        I have a feeling that many people on the site have such a feeling that if they from the USA hear that the Earth revolves around the sun, they will outperform the amers in this case too.
        What the hell is the difference who he said. Indeed, in what was said, and in this article, there is something reasonable. "Commenting on the prospects for rearmament of the army and navy, VZ Dvorkin expressed concern about the high level of corruption in the field of government orders, which was noted in the recent report of the chief military prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky."
        Someone disagree? Also for the rest.

        There is a good article, or rather an interview.

        "Gifts for the Independence Day of Russia"
        http://narodinteres.ru/podarki-ko-dnyu-nezavisimosti-rossii.html

        Gift No.1
        On June 8, the State Duma in the first reading adopted a bill to pay cap. home repair by the owners. Now, according to this bill, a separate mandatory standing payment for cap will be allocated as part of a payment for housing and communal services. repairs.

        Gift No.2
        The Ministry of Justice has registered - thereby they come into force - educational standards in high schools. That is, for the 10-th, 11-th class.
        Explanation:
        The state is obliged to provide free, general secondary education only within the framework of state educational standards. Understanding that what is in the standards will be given for free. And what is not in the standards, please pay for it yourself. Now, therefore, it will not be for those who do not deal with this profile, separately physics, chemistry, biology. And there will be an object - natural science.
        So, subsidies to budgetary institutions — education, healthcare, culture, etc. — will be issued on the basis of — if we are talking about education — what is laid down in this standard. All that is beyond him is please, but for your money.

        Gift No.3
        In April, a letter with a proposal to raise the retirement age was sent to the Ministry of Finance, signed by the Deputy Minister of Economic Development. As well as increasing the insurance period from 5 to 15 years to receive a basic pension. Thus, in spite of all the talk that there will be no increase in the retirement age, this is first creeping and then galloping, as the economic situation worsens, the retirement age will increase.

        Very interesting interview. I recommend everyone to read! Maybe some brains will fall into place!

      There are no reforms, but there is shy from side to side. Until an intelligible MILITARY DOCTRINE is adopted, there can be no talk of any planned construction of the Armed Forces. Now everything goes according to the principle - let's at least do something.

        Totally agree with you! In order to reform the army you need to know the upcoming threats to the country in the near and long term.
        The reform of our army is based on one principle - this is the maximum savings.

      They think the 90s are going on. I wonder if such a gathering happened in their beloved States, only advice would be given to the Americans. I think their identities would have been studied by NSA agents. But the fact that the Carnegie Center is the brainchild of the State Department and the CIA does not know only the lazy. Interesting "advice" is given by "friends" from NATO, but you just need to do the opposite.

      About the recommendations of the Carnegie Center - whose reform is underway in the army, Putin or Medvedev, there is nothing to say. These "recommendations" of the army are not needed. They can't beat people up.
      But when discussing the topic, it sounded that army reforms were not needed. It is impossible to agree with this conclusion. After all, the army is a living organism and it needs to grow and develop continuously. With the advent of new scientific physical principles of influence on the enemy, intelligence, personal defense are necessary revolutionary changes in the structure of its armed forces, development of new approaches to the strategy and tactics of warfare. Otherwise, we will be in the role of catching up.

      Among the invited persons were ..... employees of foreign embassies, the NATO information bureau in Moscow and foreign media workers.
      Of course, I understand that there are a lot of problems in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but what, they should be discussed in the organization - a foreign agent by foreigners and paid oppositionists ???? Personally, it is not my acceptance of such presentations that causes me, but even complete disgust and distrust. IMHO.

      It is not necessary to read, but to write that everything is done to the tune of the oligarchic world capital, which rules both us and Uncle Sam. The goal is one in excess of profit and nothing personal. See simpler, classics of political economy have long told about this. As long as this damned bourgeois power exists, there is nothing to expect.

      Shoigu does not carry out a reform, but only cleans up the "shoals" behind Mr. Serdyukov and Co. It is obvious.

      But there was no reform under Serdyukov!
      Reform involves improving the situation, not worsening it.

      And all this discussion among the "experts' association" is sheer nonsense!
