The Russian army will have fewer types of weapons and military equipment.

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said at a press conference that the Russian defense ministry is going to reduce the number of types of weapons and military equipment in the army as part of the new state armament program for 2016-2025.

The Russian army will have fewer types of weapons and military equipment.


“The main directions will be to quite sharply reduce the type of weapons and military equipment. We optimize the type. Tiporyad (weapons and military equipment) is already defined ", - gives his words ITAR-TASS.

Borisov also noted that in the next year and a half specific indicators of the state program will be determined, which will be based on the possibilities of science and industry. According to him, the military want to “orient the industry on the problem of unifying various solutions.”

“This is a trunk-modular construction principle with maximum unification and reduction of the range of products used,” added Borisov.

According to him, reducing the number of types of weapons and military equipment will reduce the cost of their maintenance and repair, as well as military training.

Also, the deputy minister said that the seizure of the state defense order for 2015-2017 years will not be.

“There are no sequesters, no serious volume reductions. The draft budget provides for virtually passport data, ”he stressed.

However, the defense ministry is constantly redistributing volumes within the program.

“So far, thank God, the efforts of our supreme commander and the government three-year plan for 2015-2017 years comes with a very close approximation to the passport data of the state weapons program-2020, which is the key to a dynamic re-equipment of our troops to modern and promising models of weapons and military equipment,” - noted Borisov.

        I wonder what is more effective? To use a large number of averaged equipment (made on single units and assemblies) or to have a large fleet of highly specialized and non-variable equipment, but with the option of its most effective use?
        Ask yourself which is better. Have average techies, but who can work on the tank and on the BMP with the corresponding effect, or have high-class specialists, but only for their tasks?

          It seems to me that the bulk of the troops should be armed with the most unified equipment.
          But some parts of high alert, mountain shooters, airborne forces, special forces, and reconnaissance must be armed with specially developed weapons, taking into account their specifics, and the tasks to be solved!

            The answer is simple. Now everyone is shouting about Armata. I won’t tell you a big secret, but now she has a problem with planetary gearboxes, for MBT they are too slow, and for the Coalition they are too weak (they simply vomit after a certain run). How long do you think it will take to bring this small problem to mind and even more so unify it? And is this even possible? And this is only a small problem, but you can ask Sparrow how much time is spent on replacing the gearbox. And in general, why is the T-72 platform bad? Or what to write off all MBT and self-propelled guns on this platform and dramatically replace it with Armata? I think that our gentlemen officials are pushing the cart in front of the horse.

          Remember the experience of the Second World War, where the Soviet Union literally crushed a mass of tanks and aircraft, the fascist Wehrmacht. A high-tech product from Germany smoked in the fields. The effectiveness of weapons is manifested in skillful hands. After all, you yourself see, the militia in the Donbass is fighting almost the same as the junta, and the effectiveness is many times higher.
          No matter how it happened, as in the case of the Gorbachev-pathist, we will cut, cut, and we will not create a new one. There was a similar experience under Mr. Taburetkin.

        On the one hand, unification is, of course, good, it is easier for industry, repair, training, maintenance and application in different systems and equipment, but on the other hand, you can forget about the best examples for a specific task. As an example, there is no better clean interceptor like the MiG-31 to this day, even considering its age. Take the SCRC "Basalt", who will now bother with such a head?

      This suggests that in the Russian army (and before that in the Soviet) there are many similar and repeating weapons, the waste of which is very high.
      Well, for example, how many tanks are currently in service in Russia? And how many were in the USSR? In parallel, the T72 and T64 and T80 were armed, and there was to be one single main tank.

        Yes it pulls the whole chain. Now 4 enterprises make similar equipment with different spare parts. and so will 4 do the same thing (what this gives is so clear). But for some reason it seemed to me that in the first place this is done for the same purpose as AK was once created. It’s much easier to teach one technique than several.

          It's even easier - not to teach anything at all ... The main task of the army, the ability to effectively defend the country, its people, equipment and weapons are created for these tasks, and if specialization is necessary, it must be! Of course, you can cut down a forest with an ax, chop up enemies, cut bread, and even shave, but offering a surgeon a universal scalpel for all operational cases is hardly a successful "unification". At one time, the RPK was preferred to the tape RPD, precisely because of the unification of weapons, as far as it was reasonable, the question. It is more economical to have a basic system of the type "a reaper, a reaper, and a gamer", but not more efficient. The army must first of all be effective, everything else is secondary. A stingy person always pays twice, and a fool always pays, if we are talking about the unification of weapons and equipment, we must understand it not at the expense of efficiency, unification is not an end in itself, but only a means to increase production, reduce its cost when necessary. Specialized equipment and weapons will always be needed. I would like to believe that this topic of unification and "platforms" will not go to extremes and will not reach the point of absurdity.

      Optimization, is included in the field of rationalization in a certain sense (enough wikipedia on the terms "rationality", adjusted for the process and "optimization"). There are no contradictions.
      Can you imagine 20 parts with the same function, but performing it with different parameters (slightly different)? Now imagine that someone designed these 000 parts, for starters, then made them on 20 varieties of the same type of machine tools (for the sake of understanding the picture, exaggeration will not hurt). Now imagine that there are about 000 such parts (different, but having the general principle of variation in the main function) in the final product. .................. Now you can try to establish development and production of all the necessary product range for a range of tasks.
      Absurd. neither money, nor human resources, nor the theoretically achievable competence of logistics specialists will be enough. The point is that the final products from the time of the 2nd World War and the formation of the -> early period of the USSR have become much more complicated and the process continues. Therefore, for the production of the required range of products and parts on their own, you need to rationally spend resources (so that the problem has a solution, as such). Optimization, where possible and necessary, also does not hurt (given the value).
      Personal opinion, I expect, if not good, then acceptable results, if we manage to press or agree (in any sense) with “creativity” and “financial interest”. Of course, in the long term, because the types of products produced at the moment are extremely unreasonable to throw away (and not advisable, since we will remain with "naked F"). But the sooner the process begins, the easier it will be to live later (do not forget about the tasks of scientific research, if simpler, then goal-setting).

    It is possible that this is a sound decision. Unification will save on consumables, on maintenance, on the development of modification. It would be desirable that when making decisions on the supply of a particular type (type, etc.) of arms and equipment, the parties should not be lobbying the interests of someone's enterprises or groups, but the actual need of the armed forces.

    on BBM - BTR 82А (before boomerang), boomerang; armored vehicles: Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Typhoon; BMP: BMP-2M with a thermal imager, and based on the same Kurgan and Almaty.
    by types of ships - while chaos. Yes / no aircraft carrier, helicopter carrier, corvette, frigate - the composition and types are not yet clear.
    according to MLRS - Grad (until it remains so), Tornado, Hurricane.
    on planes is also chaos. They order different types and types. Piece delivery.
    for air defense - here the regiments go, which pleases. Apparently there will be C-400 and C-500, Tunguska, Shell-S, BUK, etc.
    on the Strategic Missile Forces - Topol-M, Liner, extension to mine missiles, mace.

    It's time to do it. And to restrain businessmen from the military, who rivet something there, and then drag in the army. Strict state order, objective competition and the strictest selection !!! And then 3-5 types of tanks, up to ten armored vehicles, a dozen submachine guns will not be simultaneously in service.
    But it is interesting, in this aspect, how will the presence of two of the same type of turntables Ka-52 and Mi-28 look in the army? It seems that the Ka-52 surpasses the Mi in many ways. Or leave in order to support the manufacturer?

      Just old types of weapons will be given to terrorists, militias, Kyrgyz, Mongols and Negroes, and the army will leave new, unified ones. T-80 in the Donbass due to unification.

    a rather controversial decision, highly specialized equipment has more advantages, but for reservists or untrained mobilized people, you can introduce additional. technique. Again, competition among designers improves quality. It seems to me that they are going the wrong way, unification should be an addition, and not to the detriment of everything else.

      Gold words. Only our design bureau was destroyed long ago, there are practically no competent designers, only draftsmen with a tower remained. My unforgettable teacher (his blessed memory) always said "A real designer should read a lot, be able to count on a ruler. Computers kill imagination and neutralize thought."

        I agree with the line. While you move it all the thought continues to work. He advanced to the result and realized that it was not necessary to do so. winked Seriously, I checked myself more than once.

        1 The decision is indisputable if you follow the principles of rationality, optimization, etc. Those. everything that brings chaos to a calculated order. Illustrative examples (from comments): 2 types of attack helicopters (hereinafter - a detailed description of the object (s) in a full chain), missile launchers in the fleet, and ships (similarly, deploy in a full chain). Expand the chain: a set of parts, a set of resources (in a general sense), methods and tools ... "for the production of a part" and further along the technological chain (do not forget about design).
        2 The creative potential of a person does not depend on the tool used for his development in a given context (computers). "Pedagogy and psychology" + "motivation and stimulation" (as general concepts, ie applicable, both in the main / subject - psychology, and in areas with addiction - all others) to help. Those. "this" is from a completely different area (s): the tool and the problem can intersect if the tool is universal (example to A.1, which unambiguously refutes the opposing idiom), but the problem does not depend on the tool in any way (the apple fell because it is acted upon by force gravitational, and not vice versa). By the way, thank you for a good example (no kidding).

        The only thing that I share (concerns) is the impossibility of expedient rational optimization in certain areas, cases, etc. (you need to speak and explain, from the side you need to listen and hear, in addition to "do as they say!"). An example, you have already given earlier in the comments.

        That's just the development speed using CAD is much higher and cheaper. But you continue with the ruler, yeah.

    A simple life example. A long-distance garage, five cars were assembled from the flight, (rarely this usually happens no more than three), pre-scheduled repairs begin, one turbine should be changed, another compressor, the third muffler burned out. the radiator would solder. In each specific case, work for half a day but the mechanic is in soap, because one is needed for the actress, the other for daf, the third for mans, everything needs to be bought and it is from that model that there is even a difference for years. And only the driver of Scania had finished and was drinking beer, because Scania was standing next to her without documents and, therefore, did not need to go anywhere. Without turbulence, she slyly removed the turbine and put it on the chassis machine, the problem was solved. And then a new turbine will be put on the donor’s car without rushing a fitter. This is just a real case from a peaceful life, and if you don’t get out of stock bases, and rem bases in isolation from supply bases, it’s not possible to carry everything with you on a varied list.

    It's like creating a "single" aircraft for the armed forces in aviation - the PAK FA (Advanced Aviation Complex of Frontline Aviation) is a multipurpose aircraft, they want to see it as an interceptor, fighter, frontline bomber and attack aircraft - a kind of duck, and it can fly and even swim ... but will she be able to withstand the hawk in the air and with whom will she compete on the water ???! The most striking example of unification - "Bulava", decided to use the land "poplar" in the marine environment ... The amounts of funds spent are astronomical.

      But on the ground, under the ground, under the water and on the rails, there will be one rocket, which in the upcoming re-equipment of the Strategic Missile Forces from Soviet junk will give the same economy and speed of production. In general, unification is a long-standing and general trend in the sun. Unification is always expensive and the mace flew by the way. And the Gauges flew, and the PAK FA flew, and the overseas partners F-35 flew.

    Unification is good. While nuclear weapons play the first violin.
    Of course not from a good life. Rather, from uncertainty.
    The scientific and technical life of thought in "nature" is also becoming obsolete, together with the factories that embody ideas.
    And as in a joke ... indeed, tractors will be indistinguishable from tanks laughing Which for s \ x is not bad at all laughing
    As I understand it, a lot of "surprises" can be hung on a unified platform and changed for each specific task.

    We can talk about "Armata", "Kurganets", etc. seeing computer models. I already wrote that I would not be surprised if "Armata" turns out to be seventy-two or eighty. According to the technical characteristics of the customer (MO), it is impossible to create an absolutely new one now. With the terms of reference, "Armata", "Kurganets", etc. must have super protection, have super speed, at the same time they must fit into the railway gauge 02-T, overcome water obstacles like walking dry land, capable of being transported by sea and air transport, and be landing. But let me agree, there are many water barriers in Russia, especially in the Far East. I wonder if a trough weighing 35-40 tons will protect the infantry. Will it float? So are the tanks. At the moment, there can be no single platform. Technology and production will not allow. 25 years the military-industrial complex destroyed, whether ... engineers, assemblers, etc. And now they gave the loot and everything went well? Adults, but you believe in fairy tales. In Soviet times, a car from the factory came with a range of 102-110 km. And now from the vaunted Tagil 150-170. This suggests that there was a jamb and a repeated test run What "armata", what "Kurgan"? Bluff. Until the breakthrough, 10-15 years regardless of costs. And most importantly, when the crew will be considered the main detail. I beg your pardon, but for more than 30 years such an opinion was formed in the armored troops.

    But they are in vain. There must be a choice for the army. After all, how many wonderful samples are there now. And if you cut everything and do a small amount, it seems to me that some designers from unemployment but with brilliant thoughts will recover over the hill in search of a better life.
