Shoigu: 320 billion rubles will be spent on the UAV equipment program

Almost 2020 billion rubles will be spent on the program to equip the Armed Forces of Russia with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) calculated up to 320, said Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday.

Describing the scope of application drones in the interests of the Armed Forces, Shoigu said that at present the Russian army "has almost 500 unmanned aerial vehicles that are working," ITAR-TASS reports.

The head of the military department explained that the Russian UAVs perform tasks of reconnaissance, communications, signal relaying and combat use. “Of course, there is no end of work there,” said the Minister of Defense.

According to him, a recent exercise using the UAV on the 100-hour continuous monitoring of the movement of objects on the ground showed that "not all drones coped with this task."

In this regard, the Minister of Defense noted the creation by operators of a scientific company of a military department in Voronezh five programs, "which in our Armed Forces are being fully implemented".

Recall 4 January, it became known that in Russia, on the basis of interspecific center of unmanned aerial vehicles is planned to create a state center of UAVs. He will remain under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense, but, as stated in the department, not only the military, but also their "allied" from other government agencies, which have unmanned aerial vehicles in their household, will study there.

And now, at the interspecific center, about 180 military personnel are simultaneously trained. In addition to training, the center conducts troop tests of the Zastava, Navigator-2, Forpost, Orlan-10 and other UAV complexes.

Judging by the fact that people are already learning, UAV in Russia to be.

In fact, the creation of a whole kind of troops .... money is just .... but will there be open competitions for development as a whole? And for the various details?

The legendary "Buran" is our first UAV .. so that the foundation and developments are available! It all came down to finances and 320 billion is a solid investment! We have Kulibins in Russia.

Buran is not only our UAV, it is a reminder to many how artificially we changed technology, scientists ... And others to the legs steroid and dyed jeans.

320 billion rubles? Not bad! It only remains to hope that all the money will go specifically for the development of UAVs. A necessary thing in the concept of modern warfare. And while we are lagging behind in this direction, we urgently need to catch up! Interestingly, one of the liberals who opposed Russia choked on breakfast after hearing this news.

It only remains to hope that all the money will go specifically for the development of the UAV.

It would be nice if they did not get into structures like RUSNANO or SKOLKOVO controlled by various followers of CHUBAYS — where there is some small zilch at the output and not a single breakthrough invention or achievement.

[Lk17619]

If the Russians decided to make UAVs and at the same time they lagged a little ...., then the world UAV manufacturer Israel will soon have to squeeze very much in this market))

[Same lech]

I think that in the distant future, all UAV, UAV, various robots and other machines will carry out all the routine work on the extraction, development and processing of intelligence information — the human role will be reduced only to the final analysis and decision.

10 billion bucks-- not sickly. Honestly, at the moment, it’s not even clear where, at one’s own level, nor at that level, and there are no capacities capable of digesting such money, R&D is possible, but it is equal to 1,5 billion a year - it’s a lot of money- Unless of course we are talking about a blunt cut of dough, it is simply impossible (in the normal sense of the word, without jokes with the maximum benefit for the armed forces and without theft), or the last ones remain - they will simply be bought abroad-- although for this these amounts are simply monstrous.
Maybe a mistake? 32 billion?

[kirieeleyson]

even 32 billion the sum is not sickly, for R&D and the full cycle more than at this stage. Maybe the MTO and training are taken, the creation of a concept as a kind of troops, this is a national project under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense ...

Stalin in the shortest possible time built factories and energy enterprises for their work. If you want, not in words, but in practice, you can in this case achieve the desired, especially since today, there are still engineering and technical personnel. Skilled workers can be quickly trained by reviving vocational schools, as in the USSR, rather than 3-month courses, and if you pay with dignity, including workers, success will be unambiguous!

It’s impossible. It’s not a potato planting that will grow by autumn. It’s R&D, production base, test benches, and then tests, tests. To the troops. improvements and so on - not one year. And this is subject to the availability of personnel - which, for the time being, are not very special.

Quickly prepare by rejoining vocational schools (as well as those qualified after vocational schools) --- funny

not 3-month courses, and if you pay with dignity, including for workers, success will be, definitely!

Well, pay a decent welder - if there is no theoretical knowledge and a hand is not full for years - even if you put a lemon bucks - you won’t get a normal seam. (this is such a simple example)

[Dioxin]

Just create the missing capacity.

[Orakyl]

Important! so that everything up to a penny would be spent on Russian development and industry. Nor any foreign purchases.

[tlauicol]

I set the task: to spend 320 billion rubles!

There are to spend 320 billion

[mountain]

So the long-awaited news arrived, Thrilling us all. And, as always recently, the news can neither please. So we are engaged, then we are working and will take our place in new technologies. Perfectly!

[Duke]

Things moved.

[ia-ai00]

The good news is that Russia is also engaged in the creation of drones, Russia cannot lag behind in any area of ​​equipping the armed forces, from "partners", whom, God forbid, will have to "meet" if they want to "come" without an invitation.

[Wedmak]

It seems that the birth of a new type of air force will take place - Unmanned Aviation of the Air Force of the Russian Federation. In my opinion, the right direction.

[Leshka]

soon the percussion created and adopted

[Evkur]

We all watched science fiction and there were drones - aircraft! So Russia took one step forward to this fantasy! The United States has invested a lot in robotics - we are far behind but you can’t lose in the air! who owns the sky in modern warfare controls the military situation!

320 billion rubles is a serious amount. About 45 billion per year. And 6 years of time.
BLAAs are the necessary systems in the army. Nobody argues about this. People are already planting them on aircraft carriers, and these effective ones were just about to create it. They still had to create it yesterday, and tomorrow it will be too late. Others do not stand still.
