The head of Russian Technologies: the Ministry of Defense has ceased to order ammunition

The Defense Ministry has practically stopped making orders for the production of ammunition, said on Wednesday the chairman of the Russian Engineering Union, the general director of the state corporation Russian Technologies, Sergey Chemezov.

# {weapon} “Of particular concern is the volume of the state defense order for 2011 per year by industry ammunition and special chemistry. The overall level of ammunition orders in 2010 was reduced by 42% compared to 2009, and this year is almost zero. Yesterday, the Minister of Defense confirmed that in this and next year the level of the defense order will be the same, ”he said, speaking at the congress of the Russian Engineering Union in Tolyatti.

He noted that the state corporation Russian Technologies and the Ministry of Industry were tasked with creating a program for the redevelopment of a number of defense enterprises.

“Most industrial enterprises have re-allocated capacity. First of all, this is the ammunition industry. It is necessary to reduce, create more modern production, ”said Chemezov.

He also noted that the ammunition produced in Russia does not meet the requirements that are imposed on them by modern equipment.

“The Ministry of Defense is right, the right in which plan: those shells, the products that our industry produces are ammunition, it does not meet the requirements that today are presented by modern military equipment,” he said.

“We need to do everything to attract new technologies, create new products, get rid of the old,” Chemezov said, Interfax reports.

Curious saying. Without a state defense order, the factories producing ammunition will die, and in 1,5-2 years the same Chemezov will say that we do not have enterprises that can produce modern ammunition in general and we need to buy them abroad. But will their gagranits sell them to us? The destruction of ammunition plants in Russia borders on the betrayal of the country's national interests. Many soldiers understand this, but they are silent, as they took water into their mouths.

AND WILL BE AS 1915 shell hunger.
But in parallel, these two events can not be carried out and modernize production and produce shells?

In Russia, in my opinion, there are only 2 powder plants left, and now without orders of the defense industry they will be closed, all hunters use imports.

Throughout the country, the destruction of old ammunition is underway, I was hoping that the place for new ammunition would be freed up, but it turns out not !? I have no words ...

War is inevitable
Miracle reformers finish off the last thing left of a great power. The arrival of NATO warriors is being prepared at an accelerated pace. They are going to surrender their homeland without a fight. Judah. 2011-2014 will be decisive. To be or not to be Russia. A lot depends on who will be elected president next year. Liberal Medvedev is a suitable candidate for the West. Hard Putin is unacceptable to the West.
