State Armaments Program 2011-2020

More like once Armata production gets up to speed, they might develop a T-15 variant with 4-6 console operators for control of robotised T-72B3 variants. Given Russian use of autoloaders, it should be feasible to engineer an add-on pack for conversion of latest-model T-72s into RC drone tanks. Kinda like an IFV carrying a crack squad of World of Tanks players...

Now I'm off to fire up my WoT IS-3 heavy and give Stalins regards to some Axis monkeys...

Might want to look into Armored Warfare, considering the recent WoT news.

To see Russia increasing the funding for research and development is very logical. Now Russia is in a process of technological improvement that can be finnished in the timeline of this 2018-2025 State Armament Program. As result of this proces an entire generation of weapons can be developed in the first quarter of the XXI century in Russia. I have not doubt that one of the main goals for Russia in the 2018-2025 timeline is to achieve capabilities of building modern units of every type of land, air and sea warfare, and it means to continue with the current key programs, and in some case, even with some aditional impulse.

When I commented in this same topic about what I would expect from the 2018-2025 State Armament Program, I commented also about the development of future warfare:

https://www.russiadefence.net/t2358p325-state-armaments-program-2011-2020#190008

It is possible to see the begin of the serial production of some of the new possible weapons cited in the link, in the 2018-2025 State Armament Program, but in a good number of cases is possible that only the first units be ready by 2025, and the procurement begins after 2025.

Also it is possible to see Russia reducing efforts in the research and development of other types of material of lower military interest to avoid distrations. As example, in the lightest land, air and sea auxiliary vehicles (transport, utility,...).

MOSCOW, May 24 - RIA Novosti. More than 30,000 units of new and upgraded weapons have been received by the Russian Armed Forces since 2012, Defense Minister of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergei Shoigu, said on Wednesday.

"In total, since 2012, the troops received more than 30,000 units of new and modernized weapons and equipment, including more than 50 warships, 1,300 aircraft, 4,700 tanks and armored combat vehicles," Shoigu said during the "government hour" In the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

He noted that "for comparison, from 2007 to 2011, only two warships, 151 aircraft and 217 tanks received the sun from the main samples."

Russian troops in 2016 received 40 carriers of precision weapons and 180 long-range cruise missiles. This was stated by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu during the "government hour" in the Federation Council.

"Last year alone, 40 high-precision weapons carriers and 180 long-range cruise missiles received joints and military units," Shoigu said.

The Minister noted that these revenues increased the capabilities of the Russian armed forces by a third.

Shoigu stressed that high-precision long-range weapons of land, sea and air based non-nuclear deterrence are being sent to the troops at an accelerated pace.

Also, about half of the Navy warships will be equipped with sea-launched cruise missiles Caliber by the end of 2020. This was announced on Wednesday by Defense Minister of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergei Shoigu at the "government hour" in the Federation Council, Tass reports .

"By the end of 2020 ... about half of the Navy warships will be equipped with sea-launched cruise missiles" Caliber ", said Shoigu.

Announcement that 50,000 weapon units and military equipment has been made ready for summer conditions in the Eastern Military Region. Would assume that represents everything with a motor or wheels

Last week it was announced that the 56,000 weapon units and military equipment of the Western Military Region had been made ready. Would suspect the the Southern Military Region would have around the same numbers of the Eastern Region while the Central Region probably has around 2/3's to 3/4's of their respective totals. That would represent a total between 190 to 200 thousand for the overall Russian Armed Forces.

Easier to relate to the 5,600 new units acquired last year along with the 3,000 units being upgraded representing an ~ 4-5% increase to the Modernized Military Equipment percentage.

Certainly if you redesign the T-72 to be without a crew the entire turret ring becomes available for ready to use ammo, so it could use a double layer autoloader instead a single layer one for 22 rounds of ammo ready to use.

That would mean 44 rounds of ready to fire ammo even without any turret bustle arrangement.

A turret bustle arrangement with, say a further 22 rounds of long penetrator rounds in a straight push load configuration would allow very long penetrators to be carried... the Burlak turret added 31 rounds in the turret bustle and included propellent stubs... I would make the current two layer underfloor autoloader with one layer for propellent stubs and one for live rounds into a 5 layer autoloader with two complete layers for ammo, plus three layers for propellent stubs... that means the turret bustle will have long rod penetrators that are simply pushed straight into the gun breach with the propellent stub coming from the internal and better protected autoloader... for a total of 66 ready to fire rounds of ammo including 22 super long projectiles... all immediately ready to fire.

According to the news Russia will include in the State Armament Program 2018-2025:

1 Project 23000 Aircraft Carrier
2 Project ????? Amphibious Assault Ships (Helicopter Carriers).

Implementation of the State Defense Order at the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant

Press Service of the Concern Tractor Plants on August 7, 2017 issued a press release stating that OAO Kurganmashzavod, Russia's leading co-generation enterprise for the production of caterpillar light-armored vehicles, part of the Tractor Plants Concern, Implementation of 11 state contracts. The state defense order of the current year was fulfilled by 63%.

At the moment, five contracts have been closed - for the supply of the troops of BTR-MDM, BREM-L, and three - for spare parts for BMD-2, BMP-2 and BMP-3.

Six contracts are still in operation. By the end of the year, a three-year contract for the delivery of BMP-3 will be completed, to date it has been executed by 70%. 93% completed the three-year STC for the production of BMD-4M, in August, the final shipment of modernized amphibious vehicles will be carried out. The first batch of BREM-L was sent to the troops.

The work within the framework of the implementation of the state armament program at Kurganmashzavod will continue in the coming years. Long-term contracts have already been signed for the supply of BMP-3 with the latest modification and BREM-L. In August, it is expected to conclude an agreement with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for delivery of landing equipment - BMD-4M and BTR-MDM.

At Kurganmashzavod it is also planned to increase the production of spare parts for combat vehicles operating in military units within the framework of the GOZ.

It should be noted that over the past three years, at the Kurganmashzavod, the volumes of production of special purpose within the framework of the state defense order have doubled, compared to the previous years. And this progressive growth made it possible to fully mobilize the collective of the enterprise, to use all material resources for responsible and qualitative fulfillment of the tasks set by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The behind the scene "armament" program... ie the new buildings, bases and storage hangers.

http://www.redstar.ru/index.php/component/k2/item/34079-prizvannye-sozidat

It is expected in the new State Armament Program 2018-2025 the support to an air defense system mounted on the Armata, Kurganets, Bumerang and BMD-4M platforms.

After to think about which kind of system is the most likely option, I have clear that the selected option must be clearly above of the current manpads and their potential evolution in the following two decades, at least.

For me the most likely option, the option that would meet this requirement, would be a system based in the Pantsir rockets. It means that it is likely to see a Pantsir Armata, Pantsir Kurganets, Pantsir Bumerang and Pantsir BMD-4M, adapted in every case to the size of the platform, but always including a variable number of the Pantsir rockets.

Other options based in systems like Morfei or 57mm weapons seem fairly weaker and as consequence less likely to become real.

Pantsir Armata? Is it really necessary to use a MBT hull for AD vehicle?

T-47 wrote:Pantsir Armata? Is it really necessary to use a MBT hull for AD vehicle?

Yes, if the philosophi is to use a single platform per unit (big units), this is necessary.

With the size of the platform in this case there is not a problem. The rockets of the Pantsir are not big, but have a very interesting range for every unit. The difference between bigger and smaller platforms would be in the number of them ready to launch. Also the rockets can be used in combination with other weapons like in the current SA-22 (basically 30mm weapons or 57mm weapons). But the Pantsir rocket would be the main armament in every case.

Rogozin: MIC must produce military and civilian goods in equal proportions
Army and defense industry September 9, 13:39 renewal date: September 9, 14:07 UTC + 3

According to the vice-premier, "defense enterprises, military factories should now think over the production of high-quality, high-tech civilian equipment"

LOWER TAGIL, 9 September. / TASS /. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that it is planned to produce military and civilian products in equal proportions at domestic defense enterprises.

"We generally want to do so that we have approximately 50 to 50 volumes of production - military and civil - were at each plant," he said in an interview with Rossiya 24 .

"There are separate factories with their narrow specialization, for example, it will be difficult to make strategic nuclear missiles of civil purpose," he remarked with a smile. "This, of course, is a joke, but everything else can be done," Rogozin said. "As long as there are those who would like to solve political issues with their military adventures, the military factories in the Russian Federation will be given special significance," he stressed. However, according to the vice-premier, "the volumes of financing of the state defense order are now connected with the filling of the financial gap that was in the past years." "When we fill the armed forces with an average of at least 75% with new military equipment and this level will be constantly maintained, it will not require such large investments," Rogozin specified.

In his opinion, "defense enterprises, military plants should now think about the production of high-quality, high-tech civilian equipment." The Vice-Premier noted that the defense enterprises "have everything for this: a highly skilled working class, technology." "We can do everything!" - he answered the question of what kind of civilian products can be produced by defense enterprises. At the same time he did not agree with the fact that the military factories will produce pots. "We already produced them in the early 90s, it was a discrediting of the subject of conversion," the deputy prime minister explained.

As an example of possible products, he cited the creation of modern tractors, unmanned equipment for agriculture, electronics for space. "Everything is compatible here, we just need to reasonably put those tasks before the military factories, the military industry, military science, which will not exactly stop the military production, and in the framework of synergy will provide quality products for the civilian market that does not contradict military specialization," Rogozin said.

You can produce anything the question is who will buy it?vyou need to build brands market it and sell. USA/EU will do everything possible to block hi -tech production in Russia. This must be either with view on Asia ( China/India and then Vietnam/Iran/Malaia/Indonesia) or Latin America/Africa.

Russia itself has a large domestic market for those. There are lots of foreign electronics and products that can be replaced by making a low cost domestic alternative. Quality will be lower at first but it will rise as the industry mature. For example: civilian KamAZ trucks usually German cabin, new Lada cars got European headlights and other stuffs etc. There are bunch of examples. If they can make it at least at comparative level, domestic market will be attracted to it.

Pantsir Armata? Is it really necessary to use a MBT hull for AD vehicle?

Let me turn that around and ask you whether armata brigades will have such good armour that they wont need air defence vehicles to support them?

If a current T-90 brigade needs Tor and Pantsir, then why would an armata brigade not need at least the same?

There will need to be TOR and Pantsir type vehicles for all new russian armoured divisions.

In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation the system of categorization of arms and military equipment (from the 1st to the 5th) is adopted.

1st category is the NEW samples received in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from industry that are within the warranty period of operation (storage);

2nd category is serviceable samples that are in operation;

3rd category - the samples demanding those or other kinds of repair;

4th category - samples requiring major repairs;

5th category - samples that need to be written off.

Modernity of weapons is determined by the state standard (GOST RV 51540-2005, Military equipment, terms and definitions) - modern is considered a model of weapons, in combat, technical and operational characteristics not inferior or superior to similar best foreign samples, or not having foreign analogies.

In Russian military technology they refer to "units of weapons and military equipment". And they base their % of modern weapons on these units. What they all are, not sure but doesn't seem to include small arms or regular vehicles. Would assume all aircraft, drones and ships would be included. As best as I can discover, estimate these units to be ~ 190,000. Base this on announcements that there are 58,000 in the Western district and 50,000 in the Eastern district. Would assume the Southern district to be similar to the Eastern total and the Central to be about 66% of that. Went back to last years total of new and modernized systems versus increase in % of modern and the same with the report this year of the first ~900 new and modern systems (represented a 0.5% increase in modern systems). Have also read that this total includes 125,000 armored vehicles.So that would be Fighting and support vehicles.

Great Interview with Deputy Defense Minister , many useful information

Goz under the microscope Joint efforts of the Ministry of Defense and Industry bring Russian armament to the forefront

http://vpk-news.ru/articles/39094

Over the past five years, the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Russian Defense Ministry has accomplished a large amount of work: more than 3,700 units of modern rocket and artillery armament were delivered to the troops, which allowed re-equipment of more than 50 military formations. This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General Dmitry Bulgakov, during solemn events timed to the 440th anniversary of the formation of the GRAU.

"During the same period, 137 units of modern models of rocket and artillery weapons, small arms, individual armor protection, optical devices were adopted," said the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. - Among them are Iskander-M missile system, Tornado-S and Uragan-1M multiple rocket fire systems, Farah-VR and Sobolatnik reconnaissance vehicles, S-300V4 surface-to-air missile systems, Buk-M2 "Buk-M3", "Tor-M2U", "Strela-10MN", "Bagulnik", MANPADS "Verba", a set of combat equipment "Ratnik", new missiles for the Ground Forces, high-precision ammunition to the "Tornado" and much other ".

Work is also continuing to improve the conditions for storing weapons, missiles and ammunition-new storage facilities with infrastructure are being constructed, the composition of storage facilities is optimized, new fire equipment, loading and mechanization facilities are being supplied to the arsenals.

Since the beginning of the year, about 750 units of new and upgraded military and special equipment (WME) weapons have been delivered to the forces of the Western Military District (ZVO).

Only during September the troops received more than 140 new IWT models, including 30 upgraded T-72B3 tanks. It has the latest fire control system with a digital ballistic computer.

The communications divisions received 15 command-staff vehicles (R-149MA1). The equipment installed in the KShM allows you to quickly track on the electronic maps of the terrain all changes in the situation on the battlefield, the position of your troops and the enemy, quickly make operational and tactical calculations, and timely assign tasks to subordinate units.

In the departments of radiation chemical and biological protection, 18 modernized automatic filling stations ARS-14KM were received for decontamination, degassing and disinfection of weapons and military equipment. The presence of a smoke generator in the special equipment of the station allows for aerosol masking of troops.

In 2017, as part of the planned rearmament process, the ZVO troops plan to receive more than 1,000 units of modern and modernized weapons and military equipment.
