GFI: Russian Armed Forces Surpass Turkish Army in All Indicators

After the deterioration of relations between the Russian Federation and Turkey, many media and social networks started a discussion about a possible armed conflict, despite the fact that the leadership of both countries ruled out the possibility of the situation developing according to such a scenario. RIA News proposed to compare the military capabilities of the one and the other side, based on the Global Index of Military Power - 2015 (Global Firepower Index, GFI) updated in November.

The site indicates that the rating takes into account the following indicators: "army strength, ground systems, air force, navy, production and resource consumption in the country, the country's transport infrastructure, financial resources, and geographical features."

Nuclear potential is not taken into account.

Russia in this ranking is on the 2-th place after the United States. Turkey - on 10 after Japan. Places from 3 to 8 were occupied by China, India, Britain, France, the Republic of Korea and Germany, respectively.

“With a total population of 142,47 million, Russia can mobilize more than 69 million in the event of a potential military conflict. Every year the age of military service reaches 1,35 million. At present, more than 766 thousand people are involved in military service, and almost 2,5 million are in reserve, ”the rating agency reports.

Turkey, with a population of 81,61 million, “can mobilize 41,6 million; annually 1,37 million people become liable for military service; 410,5 currently employs thousands of people in Turkey, and there are thousands of 185,63 in service. ”

According to information, “15398 are in service in Russia tanks "(3778 from Turkey), 31298 armored personnel carriers (7550 - Turkey), 5972 self-propelled guns (versus 1013), 3793 multiple launch rocket systems (versus 811)."

It is also reported that "Russia more than 3 times surpasses Turkey in the number of units of the Air Force - 3429 versus 1020, as well as the Navy - Russia currently has 352 units, and Turkey only 115."

In addition, the Russian Federation produces much more oil than it consumes, while Turkey has to buy it to meet its domestic energy needs.

As for the military budget, in Russia it is $ 60,4 billion, in Turkey - $ 18,15 billion.

Russia's gold and currency reserves are $ 515,6 billion, while Turkey’s is $ 117,6 billion.

In my opinion, it is not correct to compare the number of tanks and airplanes due to different areas of territory, Russia has troops scattered throughout the territory, and Turkey may and would like to have another 222 tank - yes there is no place ....

[_Vladislav_]

at the updated Global Military Power Index 2015 (Global Firepower Index, GFI) in November.

Well, to begin with, all these statistics are very arbitrary. Excellence in numbers, does not give superiority on the battlefield. As I understand it, the Global Firepower Index considers Russia in the context of the attacking side, and in terms of statistics they say - yes, attack nothing so terrible.
well, for example

Russia is more than 3 times superior to Turkey in the number of Air Force units - 3429 versus 1020, as well as the Navy - Russia currently has 352 units, and Turkey - only 115

Suppose that the Russian Air Force has 3500 units, but this does not mean that all of them will rush to the borders of Turkey in case of war. About a quarter are involved. So at best there will be parity.

The Russian Navy, even if it’s 352 units, but they are on 4 fleets in different parts of the world. And Turkey has everything in one place, all 115 units.

15398 tanks are in service in Russia (3778 - in Turkey)

I consider it incorrect to refer to this.
Again, in case of war, about a third will be involved in the best case (out of 15000). And if we assume that all 5000 tanks are destroyed, the sending of additional forces will already be inexpedient. This is a defeat. Plus, these 5000 tanks you still need to deliver to Turkey.

PS
It is clear that no one can demolish Russia at home. But Turkey is such a regional power victory over which is achievable only with the use of WMD. So all these statistics are flushed into the toilet, on the tactics.

I agree . Statistics are not impressive (not by numbers, but by approach). And the rating of our armed forces is high!

[Andrey77]

I agree. It is necessary to consider units on the theater of operations, and not as a whole.

[ANTI.KORR.]

Quote: _Vladislav_

Well, to begin with, all these statistics are very arbitrary.

Absolutely true!
And here is what we have on the proposed theater.
Surface ships.
Now we are losing in the surface ship segment. Especially if you take the total displacement as a criterion. The flagship - the missile cruiser "Moscow" and the large anti-submarine ship "Kerch", in the amount of 20 thousand tons. The Turks have no cruiser class ships. Their largest ships are frigates. But there are 16 of them, their total displacement exceeds 50 thousand tons. The most advanced of them are ships of the Meco 200 type, built in Australia. True, the Black Sea Fleet also has large ships that perform other combat missions - large landing ships. There are seven of them. They deliver the necessary goods to Syria.

The Turkish Navy has 8 corvettes with a displacement of less than 2 thousand tons. The Black Sea Fleet and in this class of ships had a significant lag - in 2014 we had only three patrol ships of the far sea zone. Until the end of this year, 2 more ships will be put into operation, in the first half of next year - another one.
[b] Submarine fleet [/ b]
The main striking power of the Turkish fleet is represented by diesel submarines in the amount of fourteen pieces. And in this segment the Black Sea Fleet just recently had, one might say, a disaster. Until 2014, we could only answer with three boats. One of them relates to the project 641, which proved to be excellent during the Caribbean crisis.

But in 2 years, four more boats of Project 4 were added to these three old-timers, two more on the close approach. And here we made not so much a quantitative but a qualitative breakthrough. Of particular note is the Varshavyanka submarine, it was modernized according to project 636.3, and it acquired additional qualities, becoming a carrier of the Kalibr cruise missiles. Also, such parameters as low noise, power of the power plant, cruising range, underwater speed have significantly improved.
TTX of the boats "Varshavyanka" 636.3 and Gur

Length, m: 73,8 - 62

Width, m: 9,9 - 6,2

Surface displacement, t: 2350 - 1450

Underwater displacement, t: 3950 - 1586

Working depth, m: 240 - 250

Maximum immersion depth, m: 300 - 400

Autonomy, day: 45 -

Underwater speed, knots: 20 - 21

Range, miles: 400 - 400

Cruising range in diesel mode under water, miles: 7500 - n / d

Crew: 52 - 38

Missile weapons: RCC "Caliber" - RCC "Harpoon"

[b] Aviation [b]
And here the Black Sea Fleet already has a significant advantage. Turkey has seven turboprop patrol aircraft. The rest of the air fleet is helicopters. There are 26: 22 anti-submarine and 4 search and rescue. All these are American helicopters manufactured under license in Italy. Half of them belong to the generation of aircraft that took part in the Vietnam War.
Naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet is based on two airfields - Kachinsky and Guards. It has 38 aircraft and 44 helicopters. In addition to traditional anti-submarine, patrol, reconnaissance and rescue vehicles traditional for naval aviation, there are a significant number of attack aircraft - Su-24 front-line bombers. After the annexation of Crimea to Russia, the air group was accelerated by modern multitasking Su-30SM fighters. The issue of entering the Black Sea Fleet of long-range Tu-22M3 bombers is also being considered.

Most of the helicopters, 33, are anti-submarine Ka-27PL.

Of course, not everything is so simple ... There are too many factors. The Turks have weak air defense, we can’t talk about cruise missiles in their arsenal, there is no space reconnaissance, etc. etc. The most important thing is that they themselves do not produce F-16s and many other weapons (with heavy losses of equipment there is nothing to replenish, there’s definitely not enough money to buy)

It is incorrect to measure pipiska with a country that is obviously weaker. Russia is the 2nd strongest army in the world.
But regionally, Turkey is a very powerful state. Turkey, compared with the Russian Federation, is not quite so big a state. And in its small territory there is a large concentration of the armed forces.

To concentrate a similar number of aircraft in the same territory, this is a fatal amount of forces and means. This is not advisable.

P.E. the only way to achieve success in the war with Turkey (without large losses) is nuclear weapons.

Will it be much more difficult to justify before the whole world the use of nuclear weapons by a Nuclear Club country against a non-nuclear power than the use of conventional weapons? Or not really? What do you think? "Mattress covers" used nuclear weapons after 1945? In 1951 they could have done it easily. Easy. And it seems like the kindness of "mattress covers" never differed and do not differ. Is not it? And in 1991 Iraq had, if not the 4th, then the 8th army in the world, that's for sure. And chemical weapons were in considerable quantities. And on tactical nuclear weapons did not go "mattress". For they would be guilty before the rest of the world after such a step. Before all the world without exception. Even before Britain.

[technical]

I completely agree! But nuclear weapons are an emergency. There are similar mashnosti, but cheaper and less time-consuming in the production of vacuum warheads. And there are other surprises. And to lay down tens of millions of lives, no, not in the Middle Ages we live. For this, military science and the military industry were created. Almost 30 million people lost a good lesson in the Second World War, and who else believed how many died after the war from illnesses and injuries. Iron must fight, in order to create it and still do it. And let other enemies look, maybe they will understand something. And Vlad is a big plus for you. First met a sound understanding of modern warfare. And then they usually talk about modern warfare, like wars of past centuries.

[S_last]

Vacuum warhead, nothing more than a popular name. A conventional "bumblebee" flamethrower with RPO-A charge is your vacuum warhead though the military call it thermobaric. By analogy with nuclear weapons in terms of power, they are very far from the most powerful bomb has a power of 44 tons, i.e. and the warhead of Yars is 150-300kt (150000-300000) tons, i.e. By the way, the "vacuum" bomb weighs under 8 tons

[Vadim237]

We have an even more powerful volumetric explosion bomb than ODAB 7000, this new bomb has an explosion power of 400 tons of TNT.

What is:
1) Leo-2A4. Released in the distant 1985-87. About 340 pieces, of varying degrees of preservation and death.
2) Leopard-1. As you might guess, this is an even more ancient exhibit, judging by the numbering. Originally from the distant sixties, but the Turks have a slightly more recent version ... from 1973. Quantity: 400 pieces.
3) M60T "Saybra" This is a little more complicated. Quantity: 170 pieces
Deep modernization of the American tank of the 1959 model by the hands of Israeli crazy people. Known for the astronomical size of cuts in this process.
All.
And in the article as many as 3778 pcs. !!!
The remaining tanks are probably like this:

The Turks have more than 2 thousand M-48 and M-47. Yes, in fact, this does not reach the armament and reservation of some BMPs, but they are considered. So in the army we have pure 2300 cars, the rest are in reserve.

I can imagine how much has been unscrewed there over the past decades.

If the tank unit is not far away, then these tanks were removed from the sights and ending with the engine.

If we remove all t-34s from the monuments, we’ll also get 2-3 thousand.

It’s just too lazy to search, but everything was written exactly the opposite: the Black Sea Fleet does not pose any threat to the Turkish Navy, the Air Force (VKS) seems to be there, but in quantitative, and most importantly in qualitative terms, significantly inferior to the Turks, in general, it was said that the pipe is complete.
This article, of course, pleases. But all the same, you have to take off, sometimes, rose-colored glasses - no matter how much you say to the water that it is milk, it will remain with water. The problems did not go anywhere, Shoigu was able to optimize "what is" and, for example, if Irkutsk does not deliver even the planned 12 crackers, they themselves will not appear, although you can hear how the engines rumble.

Fighting spirit as well as the number of soldiers in a large-scale conflict today are less important, automated combat systems, space and aviation reconnaissance, missile weapons will fight, everything else depends on the outcome of this phase, you can clean it up with the wrong hands ...

Fighting spirit and perseverance do not take into account! In this, the Russian army was always strong ..

It is foolish to even compare the capabilities of Russia and Turkey. But do not underestimate the enemy, who is able to provide active opposition, which will lead to military losses. And we must not forget that behind the backs of Turkey the ears of our main enemies stick out, that it is being pushed against us in order to weaken, and then cling to.

[theadenter]

And Turkey has a bloated conceit and reassessment of its capabilities. They are dangerous for their unpredictability. Judging by the rating above, this is not some kind of banana republic, but quite a country with a serious army.
That is why I can understand Putin in that he decided to take the path of softer opposition. I hope that it is soft only at first glance ...

[Sidel45]

Yes, the fighting spirit and perseverance of the Russian army have always been strong, but you cannot refuse the Turks, and if it comes to war with Turkey, Russia's victory will not come easily. Turkey's NATO membership should not be forgotten either, but everything is not as good with our allies as we would like - as soon as Russia gets involved somewhere, our "brothers forever" strive to use it in their interests. In any case, I would not go into intelligence with Butler ...

13:10 - Sarkozy: It is dishonest to deceive the Turks, to give hope that they will join Europe. Turkey should not be in the EU.
A couple of years ago, no one could have thought of such a thing about Turkey, i.e. if then he was allowed to "explain intelligibly", now - other priorities. Perdogan is being drained, and this is obvious.

1. The briefing is designed primarily for journalists ("propaganda mouthpiece") if 1 out of 10 publishes exposing materials backing up their photos not from FASEbook, but from space, this will be a success. Maybe then the Eurogei will think if they steal so much oil why they should feed millions of refugees! At the same time, the "kalolitsiya" headed by the FSA destroys excavators, water pipelines and does not see 10000 petrol tankers with oil and artificial oil lakes.
2. In the UN Security Council, FSA puppets on the drum all that will represent the Russian Federation, even if the count on the head of the comrade will not help, and V. Churkin is not omnipotent.
3. Pathos, pathos - this first of all shows the increased intellectual level of the leadership of the armed forces - in your opinion, the general, who cannot even connect two words on a piece of paper, should speak with a face red from "pressure"? The presented manner of presenting the material is ALREADY a significant step forward, so to speak, an army with a human face.

If you were listening to what you were talking about, you should have noticed that the representative of the Russian Defense Ministry made political statements and accused the head of a foreign state of a crime of complicity in terrorism. Who is authorized to make foreign policy statements? The fact that the MO was sent to make this statement indicates the unwillingness of the Foreign Ministry to fit in.

Second: Turkey did not aggravate for nothing. Apparently she was promised a cookie, in the form of some Syrian province (as an option), maybe the EU will dump the money or appoint a member, eventually, of course, when the Turkish difficult child ceases to be one. Or won't stop

[2s1122]

I don’t care where the Turks didn’t beat, in order to save human resources in cases of direct conflict, a preventive nuclear strike is applied to the enemy’s territory and then the territory is cleared. Then, of course, there will be a lot of political fuss, but everyone will turn gray like mice. The states are not fools and Europe too, but howl and that's all.

[Denis Obukhov]

It seems to me or the Authors did not take into account that Turkey is in the Alliance? and that this Alliance is on all Borders next to the Russian Federation and that Turkey, represented by Erdogan, is simply a "Pug" who is tying at the Elephant and that this whole situation is inflated by the media that throws new fireballs every day. That there is an "information war" is understandable.

[Hammer]

Only, the question is that directly comparing the military potential of the two countries does not make sense. Since Turkey is a member of NATO in cases of military conflict, Ankara will receive all the necessary logistical support from NATO countries. Yes, Europe most likely will not participate in this war with its soldiers, it is not ready to receive coffins for the interests of others. But with regard to weapons, supplies and support - Turkey will receive in excess. I think including military experts, instructors, etc.
Then our quantitative advantage will not be so obvious, and the qualitative one may not be on our side at all ... The West will not give us Turkey, the Russian Bosphorus and Dardanelles are like a knife to their throats.
No cap-tale sentiment. It always ends badly.

Now Turkey is a NATO member and it is at least frivolous to hope that the allies will not "fit in". So the comparison is not correct, it would be more correct: the Turkish army + NATO, and with whom is Russia? China will fit in only when they start hammering them themselves, with the rest +/- the same thing and then in order to help them. Where is the CSTO? Something is not heard or seen. Could it be Phantom? And here the advantage is not in our favor.

[Aleksandr72]

“With a total population of 142,47 million, Russia can mobilize more than 69 million in the event of a potential military conflict. Every year the age of military service reaches 1,35 million. At present, more than 766 thousand people are involved in military service, and almost 2,5 million are in reserve, ”the rating agency reports.
Turkey, with a population of 81,61 million, “can mobilize 41,6 million; annually 1,37 million people become liable for military service; 410,5 currently employs thousands of people in Turkey, and there are thousands of 185,63 in service. ”

Oh, and the ratings are there too. But what did they forget about the Kurds, who are full in Turkey, and who, being once loyal to the Ottoman Empire, now see modern-day Turkey as their worst enemy and will not miss the opportunity to strike the Turks in the back (which is quite expected in this case is encouraged - because partisan actions categorically do not accept the observance of any conventions or knightly rules there regarding an enemy who wants to destroy you as a people). Nowadays, comparing the military capabilities of different countries for the most part is generally meaningless - especially in the presence of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, which largely offset the difference in the capabilities of conventional weapons.
"Russian Turks have always beaten" - Suvorov A.V. and the Turks remember this better than anyone else. The defeats of the Russian army and navy in the wars with the Turks throughout the centuries-old history of relations between these countries can be counted on one hand. One hand is sufficient. Although I am against any solution of the issue by force, if the matter can and must be resolved peacefully. The enemy does not have to be physically destroyed, you can strangle economically. For Turkey, where, as elsewhere in the East, commerce is held in high esteem, the blow to the pocket of traders and businessmen from the tourism industry will be much more painful.

Moreover, almost always the Turks attacked Russia or in the territory of its interests under the pressure of lemongrass, frog pool, Austro-Hungarians and other countries of friendly Europe.

[Uncle VasyaSayapin]

Peter 1 was surrounded. His wife, with other women chipped in with gold, bribed the Turks, ours agreed with the Turks, as a result, Moldova had to leave, Taganrog was abandoned, and the ships built in Voronezh for the Sea of ​​Azov, incl. "Goto Predistinatsiya" to sell to the Turks. A well-known story. Is this a victory?

[NEXUS]

These comparisons are meaningless and even harmful, since in reality everything is not as rosy as we would like. Washington’s support, both military and financial, in the event of a direct conflict, even if article 5 is not involved, is taken into account. I didn’t succeed. I have already said that Turkey, as one of the players in the Middle East, must be taken very seriously and try to assess the situation soberly, as well as our and adversary’s capabilities, both military and political and financial.

Now the power of armies is not measured by the number of bayonets and sabers! We have long been in a state of hybrid wars. In the event of any conflict, the use of various arms will be considered, depending on geography. In the case of Turkey, we will have to unacceptably damage this country by launching cruise missiles, the so-called massive preemptive strike, and finish off their fleet. And then it makes no sense to clean up something .. And if it is not enough, then there are many more options.

You, people say, calm down, don’t get so nervous - measures are being taken: the president is on the alert, the government, coupled with bureaucracy, is working hard and you work more, but think less and everything will be OK with us!

VVP has repeatedly told NAT that it is not going to fight them with conventional weapons, realizing that this is a losing path. Nobody will be harnessed to Turkey: neither the states, nor the French, nor the British. If the Russian Federation uses nuclear weapons against the Turks, the aforementioned "partners" will not even move. ' It's one thing to flutter with your tongue and scare them with sanctions, it's another to sit in a bunker and wait for the Voivode to arrive on their cowardly, liberal head.

Pay attention to Putin's hands. Thumbs clenched and hidden to the fist are, according to psychologists, a sign of an insecure person, but loving and thirsty for power. And this is not the only shot. In almost all of the photos, Putin holds one or both hands this way. That is why his corrupt friends, irresponsible officials and the so-called "oligarchs" feel at ease. And also the "fifth column" in the Medvedev pr-ve. But Medvedev feels quite confident in the collapse of the Russian economy!

Comparison of conventional weapons systems plus is clearly not on the Turkish side. But I would like to understand why the nuclear component is excluded? This "club" still holds back some especially "hot" heads for the use of conventional weapons systems. Once such a booze has gone, cut the last cucumber.
Military conflict must be completely ruled out, but the "partners" must understand that any aggression against our armed forces will entail a response to the aggressor. There was no military necessity to shoot down the 24th.

GFI: Russian Armed Forces Surpass Turkish Army in All Indicators

What nonsense is this? The Russian Armed Forces were originally created to respond to more global challenges. It would be ridiculous if we lost here too.

According to the information, “15398 tanks (3778 - from Turkey), 31298 BTR (7550 - Turkey), 5972 self-propelled units (against 1013), 3793 multiple launch rocket systems (against 811) are in service in Russia.

In general, the article is incorrectly written. Why in a hypothetical war with Turkey to compare the number of all tanks? With Far East chase to Turkey?

Listen here and in the box on each channel sofa warriors (not all of course) and ask. Do you gentlemen know what a real war is? And how many of you if run for disability certificates? Are there any real ones here or not? Like schoolchildren, by golly. War is not 2 place in a rating, and when they kill. And the most important thing for this. Let's drive it away mentally - an enemy has attacked our land. You go all clear and die for her. And now everyone understands why? This is not a question for custom-made warriors. While you are in a foreign land, you are a stranger. Everything convinces with history - we beat everyone 70, 100, 200, 300 years ago. Question. Specifically, I beat you? Something seems to me different before the warrior was fighting for another. Without the Internet, loans, salami and poacher. So what could be different? Personally, I think the orders need to cling to their own and not their ancestors. We need to bazaar less - do more. You don’t hang Turku with a balabola. I think it’s necessary to make less calls and ringleaders to tape their mouths, and quietly taxi out. Without unnecessary warnings, they leveled the front to the Kurds, quietly supplied what they could. We quietly agreed with Assad, but give them to them legally the entire border with Turkey and live in peace. No, well, how did they spit in our direction. And what did they expect to kiss chtoli? With these fruits it is only possible to bring them out of ambush according to their own laws. No, we’ll get out of business now. Striped just that. And we, like bull-calves on a rope, yell and climb there. This is the right war, he left the house, hugged his wife, told her, well, you’re spinning around there, as you want, don’t forget about loans, I ordered my son to learn if he can and went to die for a just cause. Everything is fair. And now for Syria or for Assad or for the destruction of daish or for the image? Exactly what, does anyone know? Article minus. we have 80 million which is not a pity, we are cooler. Minus 2 times. Hooray patriots waiting for disagreement.

Lavrov A. M. Dear Alexander Dmitrievich, dear deputies! The second part of Article 43, the action of which is proposed to be suspended for 2016, determines the procedure for calculating pensions for military personnel in relation to the size of the monetary allowance of military personnel. This article established that since 2012, the amount of cash allowance taken into account when calculating a pension is 54 percent and increases by 2 percent annually. In the event that this provision continued to be implemented, in 2016 this ratio would have reached 62 percent, but in practice, military pensions were indexed at a much faster pace (and did the Deputy Minister of Finance forget that this is not indexation of pensions, and the return of debt to military pensioners, which the state for economic reasons could not give back to military pensioners immediately on January 1, 2012?), including taking into account the actual inflation. And as a result, this norm was suspended last year, because it was indicated that this ratio is not 62 percent, but 66,78 percent, that is, significantly higher than the legislatively established level (I would like to remind the Deputy Minister of Finance that Law No. 309 the norm for indexing military pensions has been set at least 1 percent annually from January 2, and more is possible, and this fact in no way can justify that the state has done more than it should). If we did not suspend this norm, we would have to continue to increase further. Now for 2016, we propose to establish this ratio at an even higher level - 69,45 percent, which in terms of recalculation actually means an increase in pensions for military pensioners, as for all pensioners, based on the general decision to index pensions from February 1 by 4 percent. Thus, from February 1, 2015 to February 1, 2016, pensions for military pensioners will increase by 12 percent (that is, the Deputy Minister of Finance believes that the increase in military pensions in 2015 by 7,5% and the planned increase in 2016 by 4 % compensate for projected inflation in 2015 (12,4%) and in 2016 (6,4%)? In this case, the government must be commended for the fact that the increase in military pensions from October 1, 2015 by 7,5% significantly increased the living standards of military pensioners exceeded inflation in October of this year (0,74%) !!! But then the question arises, why does indexation not occur monthly?).

This set of rules may be quite difficult to implement, but such an approach is proposed to increase military pensions. All these funds, I emphasize once again, equal to an increase of 4 percent from February 1, 2016, are provided for in the federal budget.

Please support the bill in the first reading.

A. Lavrov, Official Representative of the Government of the Russian Federation, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation.

Dear Alexander Dmitrievich, dear deputies! The submitted bill, like the previous ones just considered, is directly related to the draft federal budget for 2016, but only from the side of expenditures. The essence of the bill is to extend for 2016 the norms on the suspension of a number of provisions of social laws determining payments to citizens, laws regulating the remuneration of civil servants, judges, military personnel and persons equated to them. At the same time, one must proceed from the following: the law adopted in April 2015 provided for this suspension and at the same time introduced the rule that in 2016 the main social benefits are subject to additional indexation, taking into account the actual level of inflation in 2015, which is now projected at 12,2, 5,5 percent. This year, these social benefits were indexed by 2016 percent, therefore, in 6,4 the main social benefits will be indexed - I emphasize: in accordance with the current legislation - by 2016 percent, these funds are provided for in the draft federal law "On the Federal Budget for 2016 ". The government does not see any other opportunities for additional indexation in XNUMX.

Based on this, we ask you to support the extension of the suspension, which is already valid for 2015, for 2016. In this case, of course, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the rule on suspension, by definition, is temporary (and the abolition of monetary allowance indexation in 2014 and 2015 was also temporary? It turns out, as in a joke: there is nothing more permanent than temporary) and, in the future, we will need to return, as was previously assumed, to the question of determining on an ongoing basis the procedure for indexing payments, social benefits and remuneration of civil servants and military personnel.

The government asks to support the bill in the first reading.

[Fonmeg]

This policy of the Ministry of Finance leads, of course, to impoverishment, anger and undermining of state foundations. This situation is especially dangerous, but at the same time we are talking about such a category of civil servants on whom the state, the fight against crime and the protection of public order are held. In a very difficult geopolitical situation, when it is quite obvious that our external adversaries are trying to destabilize our country, when a humanitarian catastrophe broke out near the borders of Russia, on the territory of Ukraine, when NATO heavy weapons are deployed in the Baltic States, when our valiant Armed Forces in Syria are carrying out a unique anti-terrorist operation - for the first time we are proud of our army, thanks to our Minister of Defense, President! - when the ISIS organization declared war on Russia, look at the latest threatening statements from the terrorists - in these conditions, the freezing of the indexation of wages of law enforcement officers and servicemen is perceived especially sharply, to say the least.

And both of these documents were adopted by the State Duma with the unanimous approval of United Russia! So who is our fifth column?

[Evgeny RS]

In my opinion, simply unrealistic data on the mobilization abilities of Russia and Turkey are provided.
How can almost half the country's population be drafted into the army? 69 million
Delirium

[KaPToC]

For every person mobilized into the army, two or three people must be mobilized into industry.

[anip]

With a total population of 142,47 million people, Russia can mobilize more than 69 million people in the event of a potential military conflict.

Interestingly, the author of these lines of what smoked? who will work?
For example, for WWII there is such data:

According to military statisticians, 19,1% of the total population was called up to the RSFSR, and taking into account the personnel, 22,7%. In Ukraine - 12,5% ​​and 15%, respectively, in Belarus - 12% and 14%, in the republics of Central Asia - 17% and 20%.

Somewhere there was evidence that a maximum of 25% of the population could be mobilized, and even then, with an incredible strain of the forces of the people.

[guzik007]

Russia can mobilize more than 69 million people.
--------------------------------------------------
Almost according to Lavrov: stupid people... fuck!
I explain to those who are not in the know the truisms:
1. In peacetime, the state, without burdening the budget, can maintain an army of ONE! percentage of the population.
2. The mobilization reserve of the state is 10% of the population.
The figures are reliable for the average age of the population 27 years. Approximately 35-40 years.
As of 1917, the average age in Russia was 17 years, in Germany approximately 22 years.
Accordingly, the mobilization reserve was even higher.
Today, with the rapidly aging white population, the mobility reserve is shrinking like shagreen leather.
Author, are you suggesting total mobilization? Then you are a provocateur and a killer of the gene pool!
I hope that you are simply illiterate - this is forgiving.

[TRex]

Don't argue with your children. We watched TV, listened to amateurs - and forward, by leaps and bounds... It is written in our alphabet - 10 percent. This is the limit of what a country can give.
Yes, it’s not even a matter of mobile reserves. Personally, I am very concerned about the concept of “mobilization resource” in the full sense of the word. I don’t want to panic, but it seems to me that things are in shambles so far. The army (without nuclear weapons) is designed for limited conflicts, in a limited theater of operations. And Türkiye is far from Georgia, and not some mythical Nagonia-Patagonia.

[Yak28]

What is the point that our army is superior to the Turkish army, we will have to fight with the NATO bloc, in comparison with which we are losing in aviation and in the navy in all respects. And in human resources we are also losing. We must say thanks to our politicians who created a system of successful theft of the state and the destruction of the armed forces in the 90s-2000s

Very interesting article. But there are questions for the author. So you write how many tanks, how many guns, planes, etc.
But explain to me, a person far from the army, but who has carefully read the article and comments to it, how such a fact looks in the light of everything written.

“Russia urgently purchased eight transport ships from Turkish shipowners to deliver weapons to Syria, Kommersant reports.

According to the publication, this measure had to be resorted to because large landing ships could not cope with the load alone. The acquired Turkish ships were included in the auxiliary lists and given military status.

The amount of the transaction for the purchase of ships has not been disclosed.

At the same time, in connection with the intervention in the Syrian crisis in Russia, the volume of weapons production has also increased. So the Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation switched to working in three shifts.

Let us recall that Russia launched a military operation against the banned terrorist organization “Islamic State” in Syria on September 30. A number of states, however, accuse Moscow of striking not at IS militants, but at the Syrian opposition.
http://www.novayagazeta.ru/news/1697526.html

How is it that with such a huge amount of weapons and all the declared power, we buy ships from a potential enemy in order to ensure the operation of 2 aviation squadrons. And what will happen or will happen if the enemy does not sell us something we need.
