SAP 2018-2027 - Arms Procurement

Datalink system of the Su-35S is called TKS-2. Got nothing to do with the L-band array in the wings.

GarryB wrote:Sadly there is a lot of disinformation on the web regarding the L band wing mounted radar on the Su-35 and Su-57, based largely on ignorance.

NEBO is a ground based radar system that combines AESA radars of rather large size in the X band, the decimetre band and the VHS band and combines the information to form a radar picture rather more detailed than any of the three radars could manage on their own... it could not be possible that Sukhoi might not be doing the same thing by combining the information from IRST, X and Ku band radar and L band radar systems.

The days of monochrome radar are long over. But people still think that we are living in the 1940s.

What you describe is a type of tomography. A broader profile of waves are launched at the target to enhance the retrieval of information. This
is made possible by computers which were non-existent in 1940s. Even consumer grade 8 core CPUs can do a good job of handling this signal
inversion problem in slightly-delayed real time. A high res 3D image is not required. Just a reliable detection and tracking of the object.

Those arrays could even work passively picking up returns in L band from other radars that scattered in aerial targets, locating their azimuth. They could have many functions in fact.

As a result, by the beginning of 2019, the equipment of the Armed Forces with modern weapons increased 3.8 times - from 16% to 61.5%. It is 82% in the Strategic Nuclear Forces, 48.3% in the Ground Forces, 74% in the VKS, 62.3% in the Navy, and 63.7% in the Airborne Forces.

By Modern weapons, they combine new and upgraded into the above totals.

thanks for the info. i wonder if the figures are just on equipment that needs replacing or as a complete armed forces. because something like a D-30 122mm gun already does what its suppose to do and would by age be classed as old but unlikely to be replaced unless calibre phase out same goes for mortars and the ground forces having large numbers of these would effect % if it is indeed calculated as a whole. If it is calculated as a whole them this could explain the low percentage for ground forces.

My understanding is that it is counted only against equipment in active units and not those in storage depots. The best that I have been able to determine this "weapon systems and military equipment" figure the percentage are based on is between 190,000 to 200,000 total. Obviously small arms, plain trucks and vehicles etc would not count.

Russian ministry blocks SaM146-powered Beriev amphibian project
It was envisaged that the newly-re-engined Be-200ChS-146 would get off the ground in March 2020 (Beriev)
Russia’s ministry of industry and trade has unexpectedly cancelled the Beriev Be-200 amphibian SaM146 replacement engines project. The French-Russian substitute engines would replace the original Ukrainian powerplants, and are produced by PowerJet, a joint venture between Russia’s UEC-Saturn and France’s Safran Aircraft Engines.
Prosecutor general Yury Chaika revealed in a speech at the Federation Council (the upper chamber of the Russian parliament) that the office of the prosecutor general had disallowed the replacement of the original Ukrainian-made engines in the Russian amphibious aircraft with SaM146 engines – because they “contain components from NATO countries,” Russia state news-wire RIA Novosti has reported.
Re-powering the amphibious aircraft with SaM146s is a project originally envisaged by the industry and trade ministry because it would assist the developmental needs of Russia’s ministry of defence, and was a project with an estimated 13 billion roubles cost.
With the Be-200 currently powered by two D-436TP engines produced by the Ukrainian company Motor Sich, the supply of these engines remains questionable because of the discontinuation of defence and aerospace cooperation between Moscow and Kyiv.

Interview with the Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Alexei Krivoruchko on the development of the weapons systems

The newspaper of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Krasnaya Zvezda, under the heading “The Fatherland’s defense capability is reliable. At the heart of the defense power of the Fatherland is a solid fusion of combat skill of the personnel of the Armed Forces and the dedicated work of designers, engineers and workers of the defense industry complex” published an interview that caused great public interest Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko.

The possession of modern effective weapons and constant readiness for their use is a reliable component of maintaining a balance of power in the international arena, an important factor in protecting national interests and ensuring state security.

About the features of the military-technical policy, the results of improving the domestic weapons system in the past year, says the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko.

- Alexey Yuryevich, it is time to summarize the preliminary results of the implementation of the 2019 state defense order. What positions did the defense industry and the defense ministry require the most effort from?

- Today, the Armed Forces are an effective tool in the system of ensuring the country's military security. For this, the army and navy are equipped with modern and promising models of weapons, military and special equipment.

The main tool in solving this problem is the state defense order. The amount of funds allocated in 2019 for the implementation of the defense order, which is more than 1.5 trillion rubles, ensured further planned development of the armament system of the Armed Forces. To ensure the established pace of equipping the troops and forces with modern types of weapons and equipment, more than 68 percent of these funds were directed to serial package purchases of high-tech models. This required a concentration of efforts and the adoption of certain additional measures through the Ministry of Defense of Russia, departments of the industrial block, as well as integrated structures and organizations of the defense industry. In general, this made it possible to increase the efficiency of fulfilling the most important state task - GOZ-2019. As a result, at the end of this year, we expect the fulfillment of tasks of the state defense order on the supply of new weapons, military and special equipment at the level of 99.3 percent. Compared with previous years, in the current as a result of well-coordinated work of the Ministry of Defense and industrial enterprises on this indicator, we have achieved a steady trend in the range of 98–99 percent.

- The priority area for the development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the modernization of the Strategic Nuclear Forces. What was done in this area last year and what tasks were set for the next?

- May decrees of the President of the Russian Federation as one of the tasks envisaged the priority development of the Nuclear Deterrence Force. This issue is always under special control of the country's leadership and the Ministry of Defense. Therefore, our most important task is to develop and maintain the structure and composition of strategic nuclear forces. The necessary financial resources are allocated for its solution. In the period from 2011 to 2019, the Strategic Missile Forces group was re-equipped from the Topol strategic missile systems to the Yars strategic modern ground-based strategic missile systems. Following the completion of a state order in 2019, the Strategic Missile Forces completed the re-equipment of two missile regiments to Yars mobile missile systems.

Next year, we plan to conclude another three-year contract for the manufacture of Yars mobile systems for the rearmament of three more missile regiments. The implementation of these measures will make it possible to achieve 76% equipping of the Strategic Missile Forces with modern armaments this year, and by 2022 increase this level to 92 percent. However, in 2020 it is planned to complete the bulk of ground-based experimental testing and begin flight tests of the Sarmat missile system.

- What are the current tasks and prospects of the state defense order for the Russian Aerospace Forces? How are the tests of the 5th generation fighter with the second stage engine tested? How is the progress on PAK DA and strike UAVs going?

- An urgent task for the development of the Air Forces is the completion of the re-equipment of operational-tactical and army aviation groupings with new multifunctional Su-35S, Su-30SM, Su-34 aircraft and Ka-52, Mi-28N, Mi-8MTV-5 helicopters -1, Mi-8AMTSh, including adapted for use in the Arctic.

A significant event for us will be the start of serial supply of Su-57 aircraft to the troops. In May this year, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief made a decision to purchase three regiments of Su-57 aircraft, and, recall, we entered into a state contract for the supply of 74 such aircraft.

I note that the Su-57 will enter the troops in two stages. The first aircraft will be purchased with 4th generation engines, the delivery of which is planned until mid-2020. And upon completion of measures for its testing with an engine in the second stage, deliveries will begin with power plants of the 5th generation, which have increased fuel efficiency and lower life cycle costs.

For military transport aviation, purchases of IL-76MD-90A and Be-200 planes are planned. On the issue of creating an average military transport aircraft (SVTS) at the end of November, a meeting of the interagency commission to review the outline design was held. Now we are presented with two options for creating an SVTS based on the Il-276 aircraft developed by PJSC Il and on the basis of the Tu-330 aircraft developed by PJSC Tupolev. Based on the results of the commission's work, the type of CBTS will be determined, the planned creation date of which is 2029.

Now about PAK DA. All works are stacked on time. To date, a preliminary design of the future aircraft has been approved. Now PJSC Tupolev is developing working design documentation, and the creation of parts and components for prototypes of the aircraft has begun. Under the current contract, the production of Tu-160M ​​aircraft continues, with increasing deliveries starting in 2021.

As regards air defense systems, in July of the outgoing year the state tests of the S-350 anti-aircraft missile system (Vityaz-PVO) with the assignment of the letter “O1” were completed in full and with positive results, and at the moment the first production prototype of the S- 350 has already been transferred to the troops. The state armament program provides for the supply of Vityaz-air defense systems until 2027. Next year, it is planned to begin preliminary tests of the S-500 anti-aircraft missile system, the first production model of which is scheduled for delivery in 2025.

I would also like to thank the manufacturers of domestic unmanned aerial vehicles. Undoubtedly, 2019 has become a landmark for this area. For the first time, a heavy unmanned vehicle “Okhotnik” flew up to the sky and completed a flight cycle, also a medium long unmanned vehicle “Altius” and a fully imported “Outpost-R” made the first flight. Actively testing the UAV "Peacekeeper". I can confidently say that in the coming years we will qualitatively increase the UAV grouping with reconnaissance, guidance and the possibility of using high-precision weapons.

- What are the immediate and future tasks of the shipbuilding program for the Russian Navy?

- The current GPV provides for a significant update of the Navy by ships of the far sea zone and new diesel-electric submarines. First of all, these are 12 warships and 9 submarines already under construction within the framework of the concluded contracts. It is worth noting here that we are talking about modern frigates 22350, 20380 series corvettes, diesel-electric submarines of projects 636.3 Varshavyanka and 677 Lada, modernization of multipurpose boats of project 971 Schuka-B, as well as a heavy nuclear missile cruiser 11442 "Admiral Nakhimov" undergoing a deep modernization. At the same time, on behalf of the Minister of Defense, we carried out a lot of painstaking work to optimize and accelerate the development of the naval fleet, the main result of which is that most of the laid-down ships will be delivered one or two years ahead of schedule stipulated by state contracts, and a series of six submarines 636.3 - for 3 years.

To solve problems in the far sea zone, the base of the Navy ships will be frigates. Their capabilities will make it possible to solve a wide range of tasks and strengthen the part of the fleet that will perform tasks in the ocean and distant sea zones. In order to comply with the technological schedule for the construction of ships and ensure unconditional and timely delivery, the possibility of advance advancing state contracts for the construction of ships in the far sea zone has been worked out.

The tests of the Onyx missile system, which replaces the previous generation anti-ship missile systems, have been completed. Planned work is underway to equip the construction and modernization of ships and submarines with this complex, which will allow them to solve the problems of combating ship groupings of a potential enemy in the near and far sea zones at the level of modern requirements for means of armed struggle at sea.

A qualitatively new level of solving the tasks of defeating the carrier and landing formations of a potential enemy will be achieved by creating a missile system with a Zircon hypersonic cruise missile. The tactical and technical characteristics set during the design of the complex allow surface ships and submarines to carry out their tasks in almost any operational situation, negating the possibility of anti-aircraft means to repel a missile attack. All new ships are fully equipped with new weapons systems.

In 2020, in order to expand the ocean zone, state contracts for the construction of two orders of the Borey-A project were planned for conclusion as part of the tasks of the state defense order. At the same time, it is planned to lay two Yasen-M products, two project 22350 frigates, and two universal landing ships.

- Alexey Yuryevich, what can you say about tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery? How is the work on "Armata" moving?

- I will not hide that the work on refining the latest models of armored vehicles and weapons was somewhat delayed, but in the past year, preliminary and state tests of a whole line of new equipment were successfully completed.

Firstly, Armata. Preliminary tests of the T-14 tank and the T-15 infantry fighting vehicle based on the unified interspecific heavy tracked platform with the rear and front engine-transmission compartment were completed. In the next month or two, we expect to receive the first batch of 5 cars, which we will also connect to state tests for their speedy completion.

Secondly, preliminary tests of the K-16 Boomerang wheeled platform have been completed. Next year, it is planned to manufacture prototypes, which will also be connected to state tests.

Further, this month the state tests of the modernized T-90M Breakthrough tank are being completed. Based on their results, a decision will be made on adopting and starting the serial supply of this equipment.

Also this year, state tests of 4x4 Typhoon protected vehicles with a combat module and a rotary platform for installing weapons, as well as 6x6 Typhoons with a combat module, were completed. The preliminary tests have been completed and the state tests of the Typhoon-Airborne armored car have begun. In the first quarter of 2020, we plan to take on supply the entire line of "Typhoons" and begin their serial purchase.

Preliminary tests of the promising anti-aircraft artillery system 2C38 "Derivation-Air Defense" and self-propelled artillery installation 2S35 "Coalition-SV" were completed. Next year, we expect the completion of all types of tests and the assignment of the letter "O1" to the promising heavy flamethrower system "Tosochka".

As for small arms, this year the state tests of the Boa constrictor pistol were completed. Next year it is expected to be adopted and the start of serial purchase. This year, Kalashnikov assault rifles and AK-12 and AK-15, 6P67 and 6P68 machine guns, as well as the 6P69 machine gun, which is a further development of the Kord line, were adopted as part of the Ratnik complex. Next year, the latest mobile reconnaissance and target designation center for PRP-5 missile and artillery systems on a tracked and wheeled base is being prepared for adoption. I’ll separately note that for the first time we will demonstrate such novelties as Tosochka and Typhoon 4x4 with a combat module at the Victory Parade in Moscow.

- The 21st century is characterized by the use of new, non-traditional types of weapons and military equipment. How are the developments on the creation of weapons based on new physical principles: laser, hypersonic, robotic, informational? And when can we expect the appearance of specific samples of weapons and military equipment?

- Innovative types of weapons, such as self-propelled robotic systems, multifunctional systems and complexes using kinetic, electromagnetic, laser types of exposure to various bases, as well as hypersonic intercept and destroy weapons, are sources of a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of various types of military forces and arms. A good example of this is the use of robotic and unmanned systems in Syria, which increased the combat effectiveness of the use of the main weapons and practically ensured the minimization of personnel losses. That is why we focus on the maximum possible implementation of the achievements of scientific and technological progress in the weapons and military hardware models, which is the most important feature of the further development of the armament system of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

For example, regarding the creation of laser weapons, I note that next year we plan to complete the design and development work on the creation of a tactical laser complex for destroying UAVs and destroying light-protected surface targets in order to solve the problems of the Ground Forces, Air Force and Navy. The complex will have a modular principle of building basic systems, which in the future will allow for a phased increase in the power and range of targets. Equipment is being actively equipped with laser systems to protect the airborne defense systems of strategic, tactical and army aircraft from being hit by ground-to-air and air-to-air missiles with optical homing heads.

In the interests of the Ground Forces, in 2020 the ROC is completing the creation of a portable automated complex of optoelectronic countermeasures for counter-observation and aiming, and counteracting them with laser radiation. Work is underway to develop technologies for creating powerful lasers of various types. We are also working to increase the capacity of the Peresvet complex. In the coming years, it is planned to be placed on an aircraft carrier.

A wide front is carried out work on the creation of hypersonic weapons. The work is aimed at expanding the scope, range of weapons and improving its tactical and technical characteristics. New models of such weapons should provide highly effective target destruction both in operational tactical and strategic depths.

Interestingly, he mentions Armata and Boomerang development,but nothing about the Kurganets.

Another interesting point us that they are considering the reviving of Tu-330 for the medium transport aircraft project

The first aircraft will be purchased with 4th generation engines, the delivery of which is planned until mid-2020.

Taken at face-value, this means only 6 months worth of production Su-57 will be fitted with the interim engine? That can't be more than a handful of units.

What They May Get, 2020
Posted on January 19, 2020 | 2 Comments

In his year-end report, Russian Defense Minister Shoygu not only publicized what the MOD received by way of arms and other equipment in 2019, he also mentioned what the military is supposed to get this year.

According to Shoygu, it will receive:

- Twenty-two ICBM launchers with RS-24 Yars (SS-27 Mod 2) and Avangard “hypersonic glide vehicles.” The latter is the long-in-development weapon that will be placed on “dry” SS-19 ICBMs Moscow received from Kyiv in the early 2000s.
- Six modernized Tu-95MS strategic bombers.
- The first “series produced” project 955A Borey-A SSBN Knyaz Oleg. (But the very first 955A Borey-A Knyaz Vladimir wasn’t accepted in 2019. It’s now scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of this year.)
- 565 “modern” (presumably new or modernized) armored vehicles, 436 missile and artillery systems, two battalion sets of Buk-M3 SAMs to round out 11 formations and units. (565 doesn’t go too far — perhaps six motorized rifle regiments, but 436 is a lot — maybe 24 artillery battalions, enough for eight MR brigades.)
- 106 new and modernized aircraft.
- Four regimental sets of S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) SAMs.
- Six battalion sets of Pantsir (SA-22 Greyhound) gun-missile systems.
- One Kupol early warning satellite (fourth overall).
- 14 surface combatants of varying size, three submarines, and 18 other vessels. (Not real precise.) One Bal (SSC-6 Sennight) coastal missile system.

Shoygu said the RF Armed Forces will have 70 percent “modern” arms and equipment in 2020, fulfilling the order given by President Putin in 2012.

He also noted that the Defense Ministry signed long-term contracts for 76 Su-57 Felon (PAK FA) fighters (although the first series model crashed) and more than 200 combat helos in 2019. He reported that 22 ships for the “distant ocean zone” are under construction and eight more will be laid down in 2020.

On January 13, Krasnaya zvezda quoted Shoygu saying procurement will be about 1.5 trillion rubles ($25 billion), about the same as 2019, with 68 percent going to purchase new equipment. Nearly 4,000 new armored and other vehicles (i.e. trucks, etc.) will arrive in 2020 along with 1,700 artillery and missile systems. (How does that track with the 436 above?? Perhaps it includes slightly modernized or repaired?)

RIAN offered its own list of what the Russian military is supposed to get this year. It noted that the MOD and OPK signed about 50 contracts in 2019 worth more than 1 trillion rubles of weapons and equipment. Not all for delivery in 2020 of course.

According to the official news agency, the Russian Navy will receive the second project 636.3 Improved Kilo Volkhov for the Pacific Fleet, the second project 677 Lada Kronshtadt also for the Pacific, and the second project 885M Yasen-M Novosibirsk. (But in 2020 the Navy is still awaiting the first Yasen-M Kazan and expects renovated project 949A Belgorod that will carry Moscow’s doomsday torpedoes.)

RIAN says the Russian Navy will get its second project 11711 LST Petr Morgunov in the first quarter of the year. The Black Sea Fleet will accept 16 new ships and other vessels. And the Baltic Fleet will be content with catamaran-type hydrographic survey vessels (project 23370).

The Aerospace Forces will acquire new Su-35S fighters, six Mi-28NM helos, S-400 SAMs, and more S-350 Vityaz SAMs. (These initial deliveries are for troop testing and training. Series production of this system is slated for 2021-2027.)

More random notes on 2020:

- Mil.ru says the Ground Troops in 2020 will get more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles. Its Moscow-based 1st Tank Army will receive more than 250 weapons systems and other pieces of equipment.
- Interfaks-AVN indicated some will be BMP-3, BMP-2, and BMPT armored vehicles with new unmanned turrets.
- The Russian Army is supposed to receive 40,000 new AK-12 assault weapons.
- The VDV’s 76th DShD in Pskov already got a battalion set of BMD-4M and BTR-MDM armored vehicles.
- The Central MD reports it’ll acquire more than 850 new or modernized items including 19 aircraft, 10 radars, 145 armored vehicles (30 T-72B3M tanks), four battalion sets (two regiments) of S-400 SAMs.
- Ilyushin had to bounce two of five new Il-76MD-90A transports it couldn’t finish in 2019 to this year.

Alexey Krivoruchko on the implementation of State weapons programs

The first issue for 2020 of the journal "Radioelectronic Technologies", published by JSC "Concern" Radioelectronic Technologies "(KRET), published an interesting article by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko," The Way to the New Decade, "which summarizes the first preliminary results of the implementation of the State Program armaments for 2011-2020 and the control figures of the current State armament program for 2018-2027 are being specified.

The coming 2020 will be a landmark year in the implementation of the State Armament Program for 2011–2020 (GPV-2020). We will summarize the previously adopted plans and clarify the control figures of the current state armament program, designed for 2018–2027 (GPV-2027).

GPV-2020 was the first in a long period of time to be fully implemented, as well as the first to ensure the transition to truly massive deliveries of new and modern weapons to the military.

The main efforts for its implementation were aimed at the balanced development of strategic nuclear forces, the complete supply of modern and promising weapons models to the units and units of constant readiness, the creation of information and control systems, the scientific and technical reserve necessary to obtain the latest weapons systems and models.

Simultaneously with this GPV, a system of target indicators was developed and adopted. Monitoring their implementation made it possible to timely correct the measures taken to equip the Armed Forces with modern weapons, military and special equipment (VVMT).

During the implementation of GPV-2020, the level of modern weapons in the strategic nuclear forces reached 83%, in the Air and Space Forces - 75%, in the Airborne Forces and the Navy exceeded 63%, and in the Ground Forces - 50%. The level of equipment with modern command and control assets in the troops was 67%. In general, the share of modern weapons reached almost 68%. Let me remind you that the State Program for Arms GPV-2020 set the task of bringing the indicators for the main nomenclature of modern weapons to the level of 70%. Thus, it can be stated that the program is being successfully implemented, the potential of the types of the Armed Forces and the combat arms ensures the solution of all assigned tasks.

Let me remind you with what indicators GPV-2020 implementation began. The share of modern assets in the existing WWIS fleet was about 20% for strategic nuclear forces and did not exceed 10% for general forces. In the armies of leading foreign countries at that time, this figure was 30-50%.

In 2019, over 1.5 trillion rubles were allocated for the rearmament of the army and navy, more than 70% of these funds were used to purchase modern serial weapons and equipment. The troops received more than 2300 units of new and modernized equipment. Compared to 2018, the rate of supply of high-tech weapons increased by 6.7%.

It is important to note that the arrival of new equipment is carried out simultaneously with the creation of the appropriate infrastructure for it. In 2018, construction, reconstruction and overhaul works of 3,573 buildings and structures with a total area of ​​3 million 600 thousand square meters were completed. In 2019, the pace of construction related to the commissioning of buildings and structures increased by 15%. In accordance with the plan, by the end of December, builders pledged to hand over over 3,750 objects. Of these, 2338 objects were commissioned before October 2019. In total, RUB 168 billion was allocated for infrastructure development in 2019. Further construction in the interests of the state armament program will continue. In GPV-2027, 1 trillion rubles has been allocated for these purposes.

The coming year is important in that it must demonstrate the effectiveness of government investment in the creation and organization of mass production of weapons and military equipment. Successfully tested are the new intercontinental ballistic missile RS-28 Sarmat, which is supposed to replace the Voyevoda heavy missile in the Strategic Missile Forces. The concept of the Sarmat complex provides for the delivery of warheads along trajectories that substantially complicate their destruction even by promising missile defense systems. The new missile allows striking targets at ranges of up to 18 thousand km, has a launch mass of 208.1 tons and a payload of about 10 tons. The first production rockets will go into service in 2021.

In the Aerospace Forces, technical re-equipment of the orbital constellation of military spacecraft is carried out. The new Bars-M observation and mapping satellite, which is being developed by the Progress Rocket and Space Center, is practically ready for deployment to the troops.

Currently, the orbital group of Russia has 150 spacecraft for various purposes. Of their total number, more than 90 devices operate in the interests of the Ministry of Defense. They perform a wide range of tasks - communications, navigation, geodesy, meteorology, remote sensing of the earth, monitoring the situation, as well as scientific purposes. It should be noted that the quality and reliability of spacecraft, and above all their elemental base, have increased. If earlier the life expectancy of an artificial satellite in orbit was calculated for months, then modern ones function up to 15 years. GPV-2027 contains plans for further improvement and updating of the orbital grouping of the Space Forces, the creation of a system for its protection from various influences.

The Air Force has more than 3 thousand aircraft. Over the previous six years - from 2013 to 2018, more than 1 thousand new and modernized aircraft and helicopters arrived at the aviation units. In other words, the fleet was updated by more than 65%. For the most part, these are multifunctional combat complexes of long-range, operational-tactical and army aviation. Among them, 78 super-maneuverable Su-35S fighters of generation 4 ++ delivered by Sukhoi in the period from 2013 to 2018.

The planned modernization of strategic missile carriers Tu-95, Tu-160 and long-range bombers Tu-22M3. They get the opportunity to carry both the latest cruise missiles and other promising weapons. The construction of the strategic missile carrier Tu-160M2. Its first flight is scheduled for 2021, and deliveries to compounds and parts of long-range aviation should begin in 2023. Until 2027, ten such missile carriers will be purchased.

In 2019, the Ministry of Defense approved the final sketch of the promising long-range aviation complex (PAK DA). The characteristics of the aircraft have been agreed upon, all contract documents necessary for the production of samples have been signed, and preparatory design stages are under way. The beginning of his flight tests is included in GPV-2027. In the future, PAK DA should replace the Tu-95 long-range aviation aircraft in service with the Russian aerospace forces.

In 2019, mass production of the Su-57, a promising fifth-generation multi-functional fighter, was launched. Until 2028, the aerospace forces will receive 76 aircraft from the industry, with which three aviation regiments will be completely re-equipped. These fighters are equipped with modern aviation weapons and provided with the necessary ground infrastructure. In such a volume, nothing similar has been done on the new platform in Russia over the past 40 years.

Due to effective modernization, the power of the MiG-31 fighter-interceptor has significantly increased, on the basis of which the promising Dagger aviation complex has been created, equipped with a hypersonic aeroballistic missile.

In 2019, completion was completed to fully comply with the tactical and technical specifications of the prototype of the Il-76MD-90A heavy transport aircraft, which is a deeply modernized version of the Il-76MD, which was previously produced at the Chkalov Tashkent Aviation Enterprise.

In the first quarter of 2020, flight tests of the Il-112V will resume. This is the first light military transport aircraft developed in Russia from scratch in the post-Soviet period. It will replace the An-26 and its modifications.

In November 2018, the Ministry of Defense approved a tactical and technical task for a promising medium military transport aircraft, which will replace the obsolete An-12 in the troops, which is unique in its kind. At the same time, more than 40 modifications of it were built in the Soviet Union. Its flying qualities were appreciated by pilots in our country and abroad. It is necessary that his change be worthy, in connection with this, several concepts are being worked out at once. In particular, in the S.V. Aviation Complex Ilyushin is considering a preliminary design of a twin-engine jet aircraft Il-276. The Tupolev company also has its own project. The final choice in favor of a particular project will be made after a thorough study of all the proposals.

In May 2020, it is planned to complete factory flight tests of the promising Il-96-400TZ refueling aircraft. It was created on the basis of the IL-96-400T cargo modification and will be able to transfer over 65 tons of fuel at a distance of up to 3.5 thousand km.

The fleet of army aviation helicopters is equipped as quickly as possible with modern airborne defense systems with improved characteristics. The machines are equipped with the latest extended range weapons. Russian Helicopters Holding transferred 112 helicopters to the troops, of which 58 - ahead of schedule. In total, until 2027, the Ministry of Defense expects to receive 423 modern helicopters, including 96 Mi-28NM strike systems, as laid down in GPV-2027.

In 2019, the anti-aircraft defense forces tested the latest S-500 “Prometheus” anti-aircraft missile system with the launch of new missiles that have no analogues in the world. There is confidence that the new complex will be ready for supply to the troops in 2020. Its main task is to combat the combat equipment of medium-range ballistic missiles (independent interception with a launch range of up to 3,500 km) and intercontinental ballistic missiles in the final section of the trajectory, and in certain cases in the middle section.

In 2019, state tests of the latest medium-range anti-aircraft missile system S-350 Vityaz were completed. In 2020, its delivery to the troops will begin. This new generation complex is designed to deal with aerodynamic and ballistic targets. It possesses increased firepower, as well as an increased stock of missiles, which is extremely important in the conditions of the possible massive use by the enemy of precision weapons. Vityaz will replace the S-300PS and Buk-M1-2.

The volume of supplies of armored vehicles to the Ground Forces is determined in 400 new and modernized models. Among them - T-72BZM tanks with domestic sighting systems, T-90M "Breakthrough-3", T-80BVM and infantry fighting vehicles BMP-1AM. T-90M "Breakthrough-3" is distinguished by impenetrable protection, an automated fire control system and a forced engine. The first tanks are already entering the troops. Now in the Ground Forces there are about 400 T-90 tanks of various modifications. In accordance with the state contract signed in the summer of 2019, all of them will be modernized. In general, the complete renewal of the tank fleet is considered by the military department as one of the priorities of the procurement policy for the next five years.

The Ministry of Defense still pays much attention to the Armata project and the T-14 tank, built on its basis. A promising machine is still in trial operation. In 2020, it is planned to begin its state tests. On the Armata platform, the latest heavy infantry fighting vehicle T-15 with the Dagger combat module and 57-mm gun is also being developed. We presented her prototype at the ARMY-2019 International Military Technical Forum.

In 2020, state tests will continue on the new Derivation-Air Defense self-propelled anti-aircraft installation on the chassis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. It has a combat uninhabited module with a 57-mm cannon and will be able to fire at both ground and air targets. One of the tasks of the Derivation-Air Defense complex will be the fight against unmanned aerial vehicles. For this, a line of ammunition has been developed, including with remote detonation.

In continuation of development, Iskander-M missile systems will be additionally equipped with high-precision cruise missiles, and air defense units with long-range anti-aircraft missiles for S-400 air defense systems.

On the whole, much attention has been paid to the rearmament of the Ground Forces. It is enough to note that this type of Armed Forces accounted for a fourth of the total funding of GPV-2020. This made it possible to obtain modernized T-90AM, T-80BVM, T-72B3M, BMP-2M Berezhok, BMP-3M, BTR-82M tanks, new T-14 Armata tanks, Kurganets-25 infantry fighting vehicles, “Boomerang” and Arctic “Knight”, self-propelled howitzers “Coalition-SV”, multiple launch rocket systems “Tornado-G / S” and “Hurricane-1M”, tactical missile systems “Iskander-M”, anti-tank missile systems “ Chrysanthemum-S "and" Cornet-D1 "; S-300V4 anti-aircraft missile systems, Buk-M3, Tor-M2 air defense systems and the Tor-M2DT Arctic systems, robotic systems, BMD-4M airborne combat vehicles and BTR-MDM Rakushka armored personnel carriers, the promising self-propelled anti-tank gun Octopus-SDM1 ", equipment" Warrior ".

The navy is planned to be replenished with new ships, submarines, auxiliary vessels. In 2020, for the first time in 28 years, we will accept six submarines from the industry at once: four nuclear projects 955A and 885M and two diesel-electric projects 636.3 and 677.

In 2020, the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet) will be replenished with a new corvette of Project 20380 “Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov”, and in the next 2021 with the Sharp corvette of the same project. They will become, respectively, the third and fourth ships of this project at the Pacific Fleet. The main striking power of the corvettes is the anti-ship missile system Uranus.

In 2019, an advance draft of the universal landing ship was prepared. Its technical design will begin in 2020.

The renewal of the naval fleet increases the need for modern support vessels. In accordance with GPV-2020, measures were taken to update the auxiliary fleet. Now its composition has already taken 152 new vessels. In the fall of 2019, four vessels were received. The state defense order for 2020 and the planning period until 2022 additionally includes the construction of three dredging vessels and five medium tankers. In total, in accordance with the State Program of Arms GPV-2027, another 176 sea and raid vessels of the auxiliary fleet will be built.

In conclusion, I note that the composition and content of tasks GPV-2027 are structured and optimized within the allocated funding limits. In accordance with the "Rules for the Development of State Arms Programs", the priorities indicated therein will be specified in 2023, during the formation of a new armament program until 2033. Despite Western economic sanctions, we will continue to create technologically independent weapons systems that can effectively counter attack weapons, no matter where they come from, or whatever modern, including airborne hypersonic attack weapons. There is no doubt that Russia's military-scientific, labor and personnel resources will make it possible to continue to maintain the planned pace of re-equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in order to reliably ensure the security of our state.
