7 month, who designed Russia’s Strategic Rocket Forces, “Topol-M” missile famous engineer claims Romo Ivanov, the Russian Defense Ministry has refused to publicly accused signed a contract ordering the missile. Soon, his position would provoke a harsh Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov did so in response to the military, because they can not tolerate the high price of weapons. Russian media have reported that the incident shows the Russian military industrial system and the long-standing conflict between the Government again intensified.

“Pravda” published the article said, in May this year, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has just ordered the lifting of manufacturers, including Kalashnikov rifles Izmir Marsh executives, including several military systems executive positions on the grounds that they should order contract for the 2010 military responsibility can not be completed. Lost his post in the same period, there are several high-ranking officers in charge of arms procurement, including the Armed Forces General Staff a star officer and a naval officer.

government and the military change of attitude, how many have been caught unprepared for military systems. Because in the end of last year, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is still the national arms procurement planning meetings promise: the next 10 years, the government will invest 20 trillion rubles (1 U.S. dollar equals 30 rubles) to buy more than 1300 pieces (sets) of weapons and technology equipment, including 220 kinds will be newly developed or improved. 2015, the proportion of Russian modern weapons and equipment should be increased to 30% in 2020 to 70%. There were comments that the Russian government issued the unprecedented large-scale procurement program designed to achieve the dual military and military-industrial revitalization.

However, military conflicts and the intensification of military systems, people who are increasingly worried about the prospect of the scheme. Rodionov analysis of defense experts said that in the Soviet period, enterprises with state funds, weapons, prices set by the state, responsible for products sold by the state, military companies do not have any worries. In the post-Soviet military-industrial restructuring, equipment aging, brain drain, the state’s investment in military systems and weapons of order volume has shrunk dramatically, this series of internal factors and international market prices of raw materials combined, resulting in the production of military enterprises abrupt increase in cost, product price increases can not be avoided.

Having said that, but the Kremlin to pull out of the military is very limited. It is understood that Medvedev has instructed the Department of Defense, “a weapon of each contract seriously,” it is necessary to consider the price, but also consider quality, to prevent the waste product to buy; if the price of domestically produced weapons are not really pressed down, the Defense Department also consider alternative models of foreign purchases.

military-industrial sector continued to complain that the government does not actively supporting the current military research, rely on the strength of their own development and production of new equipment to ensure product quality and performance it is a difficult one. Moreover, as with other areas of Russia, the field of national defense and military corruption as a serious dereliction of duty. For example, earlier this year, a local official was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment, because he actually is $ 5 per aircraft price, cheap the four original $ 3.7 million aircraft.

to Rodionov, represented by many experts believe that the government should be the correct approach is to increase investment, promote the military-industrial restructuring, to help straighten out the company and the State, market relations, and to develop weapons uniform standards of quality and price. On the contrary, the practice has long been dependent on foreign supply proved to be not feasible, instead of using foreign weapons, buried their weapons equal to the time bomb. Before World War I, Russia had imported the French aircraft engine, the results after the outbreak of the war blocked, causing great difficulties to the front. Recent Libya and Iraq a few years ago is also a lesson for Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein have told the West bought arms can be made to both sides against each other, the advent of European and American military strike when the equipment is no different from the fundamental and scrap metal.
