State Armaments Program 2011-2020

Thank you very much, it is very interesting. There are not more new Artillery, Surface-Air or Surface-Surface systems?

Artillery - for new equipment not a lot. Tornado-G MRLS and Khrizantema 9P157 SPAT would comprise the most. The 2S19 MSTA finished delivering those ordered last year. Mostly this year will continue to be the upgrading of the present systems including the converting of some 2S1 to 2S34. There would probably be a few 2S35, Tornado-U and Tornado-S for testing
SSM - scheduled delivery of 24 Iskandler SS.26
SAM - S-400 and Pantsir S-1 systems will continue being delivered. There may also be a few S-350 arrive. Again mostly upgrades of the present systems, S-300PM to 300PMU, 300V to 300V4 and all the present Ground Forces SAM's continue to have some be upgraded.

Some sources say that the Russian armed forces have some SA-20 (S-300PMU) and 2S19 in storage. It was rare to me since it seems that are in production still, or at least until very recently.

Sorry don't have exact figures, only estimates of upgrades completed.

S-300V upgrade to S-300V4: total would be ~180 of which 1/3 are loading/launching vehicles. Believe upgrade to be 60% complete.
Buk-M1 upgrade to Buk-M2: total would be ~360 of which 1/3 are loading launching vehicles. Believe upgrade to be 25-33% complete.
Tor-M1 upgrade to Tor-M2U: total would be ~180. Believe upgrade to be 25-33% complete.

EDIT: with the Buk-M3 and Sosna systems coming into play not sure if the upgrades of the Buk-M2 and Tor-M2U will be completed.

I wonder how devaluation of Rouble affected the armament program , when rouble was 34 to a dollar the 20 trillion spending was around 650 Billion USD.

Today the rouble at 60 its around half of that value and inflation too is much higher.

So how does it affect the purchase and spending ?

badly but it is managable so long nothing gets importet from the producing companies, as soon as a factory needs to import somthing the price will skyrocket under such a inflated rubel

Are you sure it affects it badly? Because we are not seeing it so far. Orders are still huge, import substitution is now a thing, and they have increased drastically the modernization of the armed forces.

i didnt say thing were not getting bought anyway, but that doesnt mean that the bill isnt is higher now, so if a product is 100% made at home it isnt critical but if parts are imported or even materials are imported to make ourselfs parts = much higher bill with a weak rubel

Looks like the naysayers, the fear-porn peddlers, the panic-mongers are eating humble pie... The Central Research Institute "Electronics", a institute that's main focus is studying the past, present, and future of the domestic science and technology industry, including Russia's Military Industrial Complex. It's a leading institute in Russia, it produces '6' research papers per scholar, which is better than the '1-2' research papers per scholar which is the average efficiency of other research institutes in the same field, within Russia. They've probably done the most extensive analysis and research about currency devaluation/fluctuation of the Rouble and the MOD's state armaments modernization/procurement, and their findings are quite intriguing. Apparently it's the complete opposite of what some monetarists have claimed.

According to the The Central Research Institute "Electronics", the devaluation of the Rouble is set to increase the total volume of supplies of modern weapons for export as well as domestic procurement of arms by a minimum of 20%, all the way to a maximum of 60% depending on the level of the exchange rate, the duration of the planning period and the minimum level of supply of products to the domestic market and for export.

According to this indicator Institute significantly superior to other research organizations DIC, which over the same period presented at international and national conferences on the average on 1-2 subjects to report similar to one scholar.

Employees of Central Research Institute "Electronics", for example, tested the hypothesis that the shortage of investment and reduce the cost of the national currency is useful to increase export sales of products, which should contribute to a speedy modernization of the defense industry.

A study conducted by experts of the Institute, has shown that the maximum increase of exports in a few years may be appropriate.    

According to experts, the implementation of such a strategy can increase the total volume of supplies of modern weapons for the needs of national defense by 20-60% depending on the level of the exchange rate, the duration of the planning period and the minimum level of supply of products to the domestic market and for export.

As the number of published scientific papers and monographs published by academic economists Institute also became the best in Russia.
