In terms of the number of coastal missile systems “Bal” and “Bastion”, the Coastal Forces of the Russian Navy reached 74% of the requirement in 2022.
The use of advanced financing makes it possible to solve the problem of the shortage of funds for the construction of ships in the far sea zone and to ensure a reduction in delivery times for modern aircraft.
Currently, the construction of 16 and the modernization of 19 surface ships of the far sea zone is underway, and government contracts will be awarded for another six next year.
In total, taking into account existing government contracts, the total number of warships being built and modernized in the far sea zone will be 41 units.
The Ministry of Defense is working to improve pricing methods. This made it possible to exclude an unreasonable increase in the cost of government contracts in 2018-2020, and to maintain 551 billion rubles in the volume of the State Program. and use these funds to re-equip troops.
The planned indicators for the purchase of modern models due to the measures taken will make it possible to bring the level of modernity of the army and navy to 75.9% by the end of 2024.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu noted that our Armed Forces are among the most advanced and most technologically developed armies in the world. “In terms of modernity, we are higher than similar indicators of the armed forces of many states. At the same time, in terms of defense spending this year, Russia has moved from eighth to ninth place,” the head of the military department emphasized at a meeting of the expanded board of the Ministry of Defense on December 21, 2021.
What potential lies in the depths of the defense industry?
Everyone already expects that new achievements of the Russian defense industry are a source of pride for the country. As mentioned above, the main part of the weapon is simply closed from prying eyes. But we will focus on the most interesting equipment.
Robotic military units
Unmanned aircraft have truly impressive speeds. They can neutralize the enemy much faster than with human participation. Manufacturers decided to work towards this feature of aerial robots.
Today, units of equipment are being sold that are specifically designed to improve newfangled methods of combat. Political forces also intend to implement the creation of other types of transport that move without the participation of management personnel:
- submarines;
- torpedoes;
- fast cars;
- ships.
Russia's newest weapons will bring nuclear support with robot troops. In addition, this type of equipment will be capable of transporting cargo for various purposes. It is very difficult to calculate the designed mobile defense; however, it has limitless potential.
Although the military themselves will also have a chance to “play around.” The management intends to give an order for the production of electronic warfare installations.
A weapon called “Bylina” is designed to determine stations providing radio signals and satellite communications. The RB-109A being developed can suppress radio broadcasts from the enemy side.
Production of laser units
Another type being prepared for sale on the military market. The combat weapon “Peresvet” is currently under a veil of secrecy. However, it is known that it will be located on the chassis of armored vehicles. "Peresvet" was created to destroy ground and air targets.
High precision missiles
We got to the new Russian weapons of 2022, capable of destroying the enemy with extreme accuracy. The “Dagger” weapon set, which is about to see the world, is a unique development that has no equal. Hypersonic equipment can rightfully be considered one of the key achievements of the Russian defense industry.
