11:33 02.03.2016

The volume of the state defense order in 2015 amounted to 1.8 trillion rubles. Today, these colossal funds mean not only the military potential of Russia, but also the functioning of thousands of research organizations and industrial enterprises. The industry participants told the Zvezda TV site about what products are produced by the Russian military-industrial complex of Russia, what they export and how they cope with external economic challenges.

The volume of the state defense order in 2015 amounted to 1.8 trillion rubles. Today, these colossal funds mean not only the military potential of Russia, but also the functioning of thousands of research organizations and industrial enterprises. The industry participants told the Zvezda TV website about what products the Russian military-industrial complex of Russia produces, what they export and how they deal with external economic challenges. The introduction of sanctions against Russia has become an impetus for the introduction of import substitution in the economy, including in defense -industrial complex. It cannot be said that the past year has become easy for the state defense order due to its volume and complexity. At the beginning of last year, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin wrote about this on his Twitter blog. Nevertheless, the capabilities of the Russian defense industry have adjusted to external conditions thanks to its history and the support program developed by the government. Thus, the State Armaments Program until 2020 provides for more than 19 trillion rubles. At the end of February, a plant for the production of missiles for the S-400 and S-500 anti-aircraft missile systems was opened in the Kirov region. In the construction of the first air defense plant in post-Soviet Russia, built from scratch, the Almaz-Antey aerospace defense concern invested 20 billion rubles.

JSC Concern VKO Almaz-Antey is a Russian concern that unites enterprises that develop and produce weapons (air defense and missile defense). In addition, the tasks of the concern include the implementation, maintenance, repair and disposal for federal government needs and foreign customers of systems, complexes and means of air defense and non-strategic anti-missile defense. It is worth noting that many factories that experienced a reduction in the state defense order in the 90s are now modern enterprises. They produce not only competitive products, but also modernize their own production and adjust to external economic conditions. Heavy engineering Uralvagonzavod is one of the unique enterprises performing state defense orders ahead of schedule. It has been keeping this figure for several years, annually supplying 1,500 new, modernized and repaired vehicles for the Russian army, as well as hundreds of units of military armored vehicles for export. multibillion-dollar foreign orders for military equipment. The share of equipment produced by the plant for the ground forces is 60%. According to the Stockholm Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Uralvagonzavod increased arms sales by 72.5%, which is the highest indicator among the Russian companies reviewed by the researchers. The portfolio of export contracts of the corporation in 2016 exceeds 240 billion rubles.

It should be noted that the corporation is also developing a civilian direction, producing wagons and tanks for Russian and foreign customers in Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. JSC "Scientific and Production Corporation" Uralvagonzavod "named after F. E. Dzerzhinsky" is a Russian corporation engaged in the development and production of military equipment, road-building machines, railway cars. The corporation includes research institutes, design bureaus and manufacturing enterprises.Equipment modernization The enterprises that are part of the Uralvagonzavod corporation are re-equipping and increasing the share of civilian products. In the first quarter of 2016, NPO Elektromashina, part of the Uralvagonzavod corporation, will start implementing a project to build a unified test center. At present, NPO Elektromashina JSC is a developer and manufacturer of more than 300 special-purpose products. The enterprise manufactures products for the needs of the RF Ministry of Defense, Russian Railways and the Ministry of Emergencies. This project, as well as a number of others, including the reconstruction of the heat and power complex, is being carried out within the framework of the implementation of the Federal Target Program "Development of the Defense Industrial Complex Russian Federation for 2011-2020 ", which is being implemented at many enterprises of the corporation" Uralvagonzavod ". As a result of technical re-equipment of the machining production at Electromashin, 43 units of equipment were introduced. According to the corporation's specialists, the current investment activity is reduced to the automation of business processes at the enterprise. this year the enterprise will introduce an automated information system for pilot production, which will make it possible to plan costs and keep records in the implementation of R&D, ”said Leonid Zelepukhin, Director for Strategic and Innovative Development of NPO Electromashina JSC. He noted that the development strategy is being updated today the enterprise until 2020, the main focus of which will remain the production of special-purpose products for weapons and military equipment. will ensure the distribution of production of military and civilian products in a ratio close to 50/50. It is worth noting that factories with a huge history continue to modernize production. For example, the Ivanovo enterprise founded in 1924 light industry for the production of parachutes and special clothing for Russian military personnel "Polet". JSC Polet is a full-cycle enterprise for the production of parachute systems. The structure of the enterprise includes: its own sewing and metal production, design bureau, textile and chemical laboratories, its own group of testers.

“In 2011, the plant fully deployed its capacities on the basis of a new site, which in 2007-2011. has undergone a complete reconstruction and modernization. Then the plant invested in the construction and reconstruction of production, the purchase of cutting and sewing equipment, the commissioning of a new boiler house, the improvement of the territory, "said director of the Polet plant Yulia Portnova. She noted that the company adopted a five-year program for the further development of technical re-equipment: purchase modern automated equipment, which will significantly reduce the commissioning time for new equipment produced by the enterprise. Import substitution program Due to the severance of relations with Ukraine and Western sanctions, some Russian factories that use foreign components in their production found themselves in a difficult situation. However, the import substitution program, which was approved by the Russian government, should help to cope with this situation. Russian enterprises“Engines for Murena boats are of the aviation type, similar to those installed on Mi-8 helicopters. Engines for the ship can be developed by NPO Saturn in the city of Rybinsk, ”the United Shipbuilding Corporation reported. NPO Saturn (OJSC Scientific and Production Association Saturn) is a Russian engineering company specializing in the development and production of gas turbine engines for aviation and the navy. NPO Saturn is the only company in the Yaroslavl Region included in the List of Russia's strategic organizations. It is part of the Rostec state corporation. NPO produces military aircraft engines of the IV generation AL-31F, AL-31FN, AL-31FP, aircraft engines of the V generation AL-41F1 for PAK FA, the family of AL-55 engines, engines for unmanned aircraft: 36MT, 37-01E, as well as marine ship engines M70FRU, M75RU, M90FR. A similar situation has developed with the aircraft industry. In this industry, engines for some aircraft were also produced in Ukraine. In this regard, Russian enterprises are starting their own production of aircraft engines. The deadlines, it should be noted, are tight. Thus, the Ufa Engine-Building Production Association (UMPO) will begin production of RD-33 engines for MiG aircraft in 2018. “The deadline was set for us until December 31, 2017, when UMPO should fully enter serial production of these engines. These engines will have four modifications. If we talk about commercial products, this is about 100-150 engines per year until 2025, this is our additional volume, which we count on, ”said Yevgeny Semivelichenko, Managing Director of the plant, in an interview with TASS. UMPO is the largest manufacturer of aircraft engines in Russia. Part of the United Engine Corporation. The main activities are the development, production, maintenance and repair of turbojet aircraft engines and gas pumping units, production and repair of helicopter units. Also, the production of Tu-160 strategic bombers is resumed at the Samara enterprise of the United Engine Corporation PJSC Kuznetsov. According to the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov, this year the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation should receive five engines of the pilot batch in accordance with the signed contract.

High precision manufacturing In addition, the enterprises of the United Instrument-Making Corporation continue to launch new technologies for the production of microelectronics. According to the deputy general director of the defense industry complex Andrey Chendarov, Russia has completed the creation of a technology called "Toughness". He noted that thanks to new technology The functionality of devices will increase, productivity will increase, and the size of new devices will decrease. In this regard, the dominance of foreign companies in the microelectronics market and their influence on Russian production will decrease due to the strengthening of the domestic industry. That is why the creation of an electronic component base is one of the main tasks on the agenda. In this regard, the space industry, which also works for the military, continues to increase production. Another success of the industry was the launch of the Glonass-M spacecraft into orbit in early February №51 produced by the company "Information satellite systems"Named after academician M.F. Reshetnev. ”The new GLONASS spacecraft replaced the longest-lived satellite“ Glonass-M ”No. 14 in orbit, which was transferred to the orbital reserve. As a result, the GLONASS orbital constellation uses 22 spacecraft for their intended purpose.

“We constantly follow modern trends in the field of satellite construction, use and create advanced technologies at all stages of spacecraft development. Every year our company invests heavily in the modernization of production in order to ensure the manufacture of competitive products in accordance with the highest international standards, ”said general manager"ISS" them. Academician MF Reshetnev "Nikolay Testoedov. Company "Information Satellite Systems" named after academician M.F. Reshetnev "- the leading enterprise in Russia for the creation of spacecraft for communication, television broadcasting, relaying, navigation, geodesy. It is worth noting that high-quality communications for the Russian army are provided not only by satellites, but also by ground stations produced by Ryazan Radiozavod. Technical re-equipment of the plant made it possible to supplement the stock of equipment for procurement production, and the rationalization proposals of the plant employees allowed the company to save 788 thousand rubles in 2015. Ryazan Radio Plant is a Russian state-owned enterprise of the electrical industry, a structural part of the Sozvezdiye concern, which is the largest supplier of communications for the Russian Ministry of Defense."The developments of the Ryazan Radio Plant are interesting and foreign countries... In particular, negotiations on supplies are underway with Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Nigeria, "- said the head of the Ryazan Radio Plant, Alexander Zinkov. In this regard, the Russian defense-industrial complex can not only ensure the fulfillment of the state defense order in 2016 by introducing an import substitution program, but also ensure the implementation of international contracts for the supply of weapons. : Mikhail Rychagov Photo: "ISS" named after academician M.

********************************************************************************************
Based on the experience of the previous post, I will immediately give answers to the most common objections

1) "Oh, what is so little, and that's all?"
I repeat, this list is not a complete and exhaustive enumeration of all Russia's competitive exports. It would be impossible to place him in a post, there are thousands of positions. I just want to show the diversity of our export assortment. I want to show that we can do anything well, from electronics to giant excavators.

2) No, this list was not made under the slogan “Hurray! Russia is ahead of the whole planet! "
This list is not intended to convince anyone that everything is good and wonderful and that all the technologies are in order.
Yes, in Russia a lot of polymers have been screwed up (processing centers, physicists, the world's best synchrotron phase generators, etc.). You don’t need to run to me in comments and lament about the wretched Soviet pseudoglucometers.
They still did not help the USSR.

3) "Yes, this is all the heritage of the USSR!"
If you take a list of high-tech exports of any country, you will find that all this is the backlog of yesteryear.
Just try to be imbued with the thought that coming up with / inventing is not half the battle. And not even 10%. This is 1%.
And 99% is to create a competitive efficient production, service and sales system.
At us, sorry, some exporters still cannot make a normal website - when I was preparing this post, I saw enough of this. Kick-ass is simple. And if you remember the shovel quality and packaging .. ooh.

4) "There are imported components!"
If you take a high-tech export list of any country, you will find that everything is done on imported components. And often abroad. For example, the iPhone is made in China - but for some reason it is considered American.

5) Yes, we have less than 40% of high-tech / non-resource exports in total.
So what? The smaller share of high-tech exports does not mean that the economy is backward in raw materials.
She only says that the country has a lot of raw materials, which it itself cannot digest.
These, in addition to Russia, are Canada and Norway. Australia. The character of raw materials is determined not by the share of high-tech exports, but by the contribution of the raw materials industries to GDP. Which Russia has much less than half, for reference.
You need to worry about technological equipment, labor productivity, etc. and that's another story.

6) "Oh, how many of these jackets are you exporting, not a penny!"
Well, yes, a penny here and there - in the amount of over a hundred billion comes out. And so a penny, yeah.

The world is simply drowning in brands - signs with them dazzle on the streets, haunt you on the Internet and in stores. However, what happens if you find out that all this diversity is nothing more than an appearance that is created purely for commercial purposes. The facts show that free competition on a planetary scale is nothing more than an illusion carefully crafted by marketers. These 10 companies are global monopolies - they make billions of dollars every day from everyday commodities - food, drinks, clothing and accessories.
