Experts have discovered a terrible secret "Mistral"

Experts have discovered a terrible secret "Mistral"On Tuesday, a press conference of leading military experts was held in Moscow on the issues of rearmament of the army. Accompanied the event slides with quotes from the president. For example, this: "We can not do without defense spending, and the costs worthy of the Russian Federation." Then there was something about the banana republic.


However, during the press conference it turned out that, judging by the procured weapons, we are the very same banana republic that the president was talking about.

With the money for one Mistral, two amphibious ships can be built that can take planes and helicopters in combat mode, said the former chief of weapons of the Russian Armed Forces, Colonel-General Anatoly Sitnov. And Mistrali, in his opinion, is more suitable for a war with the Papuans.

Director of the World Trade Analysis Center weapons Igor Korotchenko suggested that the Mistrals would be sent to the Pacific Fleet, where they would protect the Kuril Islands from the Japanese. However, other experts disagreed with Korotchenko. “The purchase of Mistral was a political decision. They made a decision - they had to buy it, then sell these Mistrals on needles to the Swedes,” said Anatoly Sitnov, and quoted Gorbachev: “You don’t know the whole truth and you will never know.”

It is expected that in 2015 the fleet of Russian military equipment should be updated by 30%. However, it is still being updated to a greater extent with obsolete foreign equipment. So, Israel refused to sell to Russia Drones new generation. Also, according to experts, armored personnel carriers were purchased abroad, which lose to our "Tigers", and sniper rifles, in which the barrel breaks if the special forces armed with them open fire when leaving the water.

So it turns out: whatever money you allocate, all for nothing. "Even in those areas where we had our own production, we went to a complete dependence," said Vladimir Evseev, a senior researcher at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Anatoly Sitnov is sure: the reason for the failures in procurement lies in the fact that the Ministry of Defense reformed the Soviet system of defensive defense. According to him, back in England at the end of 80, the Soviet system was recognized as more effective than the American one. “We had cooperation schemes, there was a project competition,” the expert recalled.

Now part of the production has sold out, as a result, the price of Russian military equipment has unjustifiably increased. A tank from Nizhny Tagil 10 years ago cost 17 million rubles., Now - 118 million. “The Commander-in-Chief Postnikov has already said: I don’t need a tank for 118 million. And the same abroad Tanks sell half the price. So where is the logic? "- Sitnov wonders.

If it still comes to investing in domestic defense production, then everything often goes awry. According to Vladimir Yevseyev, no new C-400 will protect Moscow from intercontinental missiles, since this requires a different type of missile defense system that could intercept missiles at 200-300 kilometers. It’s just naive to talk about joint missile defense - you can cooperate when there are power elements, and we have a certain system around Moscow that cannot be cooperated with anything at all.

The fact that the anti-aircraft defense of Moscow no longer protects the city from missile strikes, the co-chairman of the independent departmental council on aerospace defense (ASO) Igor Ashurbeyli said in the summer. Igor Korotchenko then stated that the words of Ashurbeyli inflict a strong political damage on Dmitry Medvedev’s foreign policy, and at the same time accused him of disclosing state secrets.

    Here the theme of the Mistral is only to attract attention, the main idea in my opinion is:
    It is expected that 2015, the fleet of Russian military equipment should be updated to 30%. However, it is being updated to a greater extent with foreign equipment of an outdated sample. So, Israel refused to sell the drones to the new generation of Russia. Also abroad, according to experts, armored personnel carriers who lose to our "Tigers" and sniper rifles, which have a torn barrel, were bought, if the special forces armed with them open fire, leaving the water.

    So it turns out: whatever money you allocate, all for nothing. "Even in those areas where we had our own production, we went to a complete dependence," said Vladimir Evseev, a senior researcher at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

    I wonder if anyone from the ruling elite reads all these comments? Or maybe some assistant reads them, and then a report to the chief? It seems to me that no one is interested in our opinions, except ourselves. Professionals must have submitted memoranda to both the Ministry of Defense and the High Commissioner, so what? Mistrals will be bought. Russia has always bought ships, but that was when the war was "on the nose." And now? They buy helicopter carriers, and in the sixties the USSR had its own helicopter carriers. What, have forgotten how to build? It seems to me that everything is trite: ROLLBACK and that's it! The Ministry of Defense sells Russia corny, but why be surprised? Russia has already been plundered and silence.

      No more such links are needed. I myself am from Novosib and it is disgusting to look at this pink, pork saiga, repeating the same thing several times.

    Do not fuss, there is infa that the mistrals offered to pay one oligarch, and he could not refuse. And electronics for study will be very relevant to us. I do not deny that this vessel, due to its low survivability (while acquiring a decent autonomy), is suitable for "banana" wars.

    Yes, as a child I lived in Germany - my father is an officer. we have had underground passages there since the war. walled up of course, but there were still holes in some places, and we climbed there during the day. and then we were terribly caught up with each other as the SS-ovsky MG-42 corpses chased us at the ready. so it happened that they fooled each other, and then it was scary to go home - there were only open adits in the forest. it’s like childhood passed, but sometimes you’re hoping once again to see a SS-sheep eaten by worms ... a joke
