From rags to riches right?

The statistics published by media close to the Ministry of defence (specifically the TC "Star"), continues to surprise and discourage.

Just recently we applauded the plans to supply the troops until 2030 huge masses of tanks T-14 "Armata". The figure indicated from 2100 to 2300 machines. Fear, the whole world, the Russians are coming!



Suddenly, the plans collapsed as the value of the ruble and a barrel of oil. And they began to talk about the supply of 100 cars. Well, how would even such a brigade, composed of the same or Taman Kantemirovsky divisions quite tangible would look.

But the new year brought new adjustments. Until the end of 2019 in the armed forces will receive as much as 12 "Armat". That is the company. And even then, modestly said that this is a huge number of new tanks will be distributed between several units.

Clearly, we are not talking more than about the training of any number of personnel in reserve in case, if we mastered the mass production of these tanks.
About BMPT T-15 and BMP "boomerang" yet even conversation is not. At least about the "Boomerangs" and wrote that the year 2019 will be the year of the beginning of supplies to the army. But, apparently, not fate, too.

About a similar action is happening with the su-57. The timelines are vague, it all seems very vague. Like, if all srastetsya, videoconferencing will finally receive the newest fighter if not the fifth generation, then 4+++. If, again, it's going to pan out as it should. In the same number of 12 pieces. Which also, apparently, going as a training unit.

That's all it would be not so critical and grim, but it all comes against the backdrop of numerous tales on the theme of further developments, R & d and upgrades. That is, it is not enough that "namelanguage", so we are still not putting into operation, already on the upgrades work!

It is a question about a certain superduperdude for "Armata" caliber 152 mm. of "Almaty was" no, but the gun is a monster already being developed. And suddenly come in handy? Our train of life must be somewhere nearby.

Announcements — as autumn leaves in the hurricane. A list of everything announced over the past three years is so great that it seems, here it is, just a little bit- and the full and unconditional victory.

But alas, we have announcements over the edge, but performance reports – enough to swear.

And so with regard to almost everything. First is a big announcement on all channels, that ".. the end of 20 years the army will receive a new ****, * * new** new ****". And then – complete silence. And this applies to the entire row.

Here is a funny example. At the end of 2017 we had to feed a press-services ZVO was posted here is a happy announcement that "part of the WMD will have to adopt the latest air defense systems "Buk-M3". Uryayayaya!!!

Well, it seems that the complexes entered.
Request press office: when, say, a show?

The Answer is: before. Right now unpack, assemble, debug... Okay, okay.

Request: anything with "Beeches"?

Answer: everything is fine, the staff develops, that's how I learn – show.

So was the entire year 2018, comes 2019.

Request: well, as with "Beeches"?

The Answer: with "Beeches" it's all right, only personnel with the cars departed for military exercises. In Ashuluk. For 8 months. Therefore, to show I can not.

Eight months, as I understand it, is to precisely never ask. As to the saying about the Shah and his donkey. And, as more or less becomes clear, vociferous announcement about the "Buk-M3" Kursk was a very "Beeches," it does no one, perhaps, not seen.

Because excuses are... not very fresh smelling.
And so we have almost everything. With all the newest systems, which should get to the troops.

Problems, perhaps not only with the strategic Intercontinental missiles with nuclear engine, hypersonic gliders, laser combat systems, railguns for "Armata" and the strategic underwater drones "Poseidon."
Here with all the other types of problems shaft, and with these types of any problems. Even here the BPM on the anti-gravity pad on the way. Let us learn to catch the US will have nothing. Shiver, you know, bourgeois, has come the last battle.

Yes, we have problems with aircraft engines, we have a problem with Afar, we can't do so, so basically the tank commander and gunner were equivalent, but their scopes, they have one fight, but with gliders and engines for nuclear missiles in order.

Dizelek for the frigate to collect the problem, but unmanned strategic nightmare of fear across America – no question.

Amid all these not very scientific, but quite fantastic tale of a real tomorrow doesn't look very tasty.

Why are only actively replicated shouts on the topic of "why do we need the fifth generation, the sixth, we immediately begin to cut and cook!"

Of course the Americans are still the originals, I agree. But in many ways they were ahead of us pretty far and long. They have planes from aircraft carriers in the plural did not take off with half fuel and weapons, and aircraft of the fifth generation, characteristically, fly.

As another question, but after going through a monster F-22, bought with giblets Soviet development Yakovlev, correcting many errors, the output still turned out F-35 is the fifth generation and that really flies around and actually fights. Not on the first roles, but nonetheless.

And these F-35 made 35 times more than the su-57. Here the number is important even combat advantage. Here is an important experience and amount of information received during operation of the aircraft. Engines, avionics, electronics, weapons, cover (important, since "stealth").

Withoutour going to jump into the next generation, it is difficult to say.

This May sound funny will look, but in fact they are research development. That is, scientific research, and then empirically test. And then on the basis of this entire construct something.

But you can jump through the head, not inventing the electronic calculator, adding machine go to the creation of the computer? Or from punch cards directly to the SSD. Doubtful as it looks.

Evolution – the gradual.

Meanwhile, the claim expressed above, have a very solid Foundation. And here is, in my opinion, right – to clearly understand the capabilities and needs of its own military-industrial complex.

Let us clearly understand that to produce 35 000 T-34 tanks – this one, and 2 000 "Armat" — completely different. Conceptual T-34 and T-14 the same thing. Tank. With a gun, armor, engine and tracks. And how will they vary – anyone will be able to distribute a considerable list of their own.

Incidentally, about the same difference will be between the Yak-9 and su-57.

But the main thing is man-hours. No, watch there it is clear that they have hundreds of times more. It is also the people. Today the problem of personnel is a PROBLEM. And it does not solve, we systematically demonstrates our space industry.

But the fact that the country in 1944 – namely, mass production of tanks and aircraft, 75 years later, alas, unrealistic. Hence such modest figures. There is nobody to release. Footage has sailed, "does not fit into the market", just died. To gather a crowd really. To recruit knowledgeable professionals is doubtful.
Because it is a total re in the above-mentioned "system of the fifth generation", we will not see never. For two reasons.

First – they just really no one to produce in such quantities in which they are needed. And they need large, because the saturation of any army ATGM and MANPADS such as the tanks and planes begin to end very quickly. In the case of Ukraine it is very bad seen.

Second, any army without permanent swap weapons in any conflict, especially with the equivalent army will end. In approximately 2-4 months, depending on their commanders and the commanders of the enemy.

To Produce the T-34 instead of T-14? And we have this system in action. You can scare potential opponents "Armata", but...

But in the same Western military district, stationed in the most likely direction of the batch service are not "Armata" and T-72B. Yes, not even B3, and just T-72B. Alas, it is sad, but true.

Similarly, you will not see anything modern from the word "quite". All the same, we could see, say, in 1999. The same "Acacia" and "Carnation", the same towed "Msta-B", the same "Point" (no, "Iskander promised in 2018, but as always, something went wrong there).

In General, all of the same Soviet army, only the uniforms have changed. Everything else remained at the same level.

And here we have two such parallel process.

First: we diligently bully the whole world with stories about what we have a powerful and modern weapons. Cartoons demonstrate... Well, plus the roar cushion "oracular" on the Internet. Like, we tomorrow, if anything, wesmirch and so on.

However, on the other side too not fools sit, and watch cartoons though, but not really afraid. Yes, the attack on "Caliber," of course, not everyone liked it, but the whole world "potential" calmed down remarkably quickly.
Moreover, the gap in the INF Treaty – generally a difficult thing, because if we lost the arms race then, in the Soviet Union, but now can not even start. The us military budget in 716 billion shahateet over our 43 billion.

Unpleasant to realize that the US has a budget that can afford everything and 5th generation fighter to stamp, and the carrier another bungled, and stole everything. We have here, alas, one thing it turns out.

And Because we have, obviously, to fight on the information front, doing the writing terrible stories about unmanned underwater horror and a rocket with a nuclear engine. If somebody will be scared, right?

Misinformed and frightened the enemy half defeated, said someone understand in this case.

And it becomes clear why suddenly supertankov and 5th generation fighter together we have suddenly gone over to the side of the missiles. Yes, rocket is our Forte, thanks to many of the hated Communist past. But Yes, alas, it was the Communists, not with the king-father invented what we now the West is in the muzzle hold. And, I hope, will keep.

But today... But today? Welding, welded, patterns, steel tubing – and here's the rocket with a nuclear engine. In the metal. And the hypersonic glider. And gravicappa to him.
The second Process, which many say. Like, clean with the best people and let robots and other drones.

I do not know, as we do with robots, I think that artificial intelligence is only in the Duma and the government have mastered.

For any drone in any case, a man sits. Who needs to watch and manage. With keyboard, joystick, whatever. It is important that I personally imagine the usual prosharenny Rabovsky impressively sitting in chairs and so patronizingly saying: "Unmanned tank? Well, let's..." And a smile so kind.

About the future of drones-drones-beautifulnow even to argue do not want. In the Great Patriotic weak, but arrogant EW the red army crushed entire ranges. What can be donetoday, do not want to talk, but realize that nothing this drone and others not shining.

Until they invent real artificial intelligence that can react quickly and correctly to changing conditions of battle.

Then we can talk about the next generation, Yes. All the rest is fairy tales for adults men who so want to believe that a country that can't make marine diesel and sight for the tank, mastered the production of strategic submarine destroerov and other fiction.

In the meantime, the chips for our rockets and satellites on the sly in the United States buy from the huckster.

And while the basis of our forces are analog weapons systems of the 80-ies of the last century.

No, it's a pleasure to read, when keen and prepared people seriously speculate about what the fifth generation anything, and need to seriously look back in the future and go directly to the sixth.

Really good.

And a pleasure to read, as support them. So people are going through and also trying to understand how it is we really are. And believes in the rocket with a nuclear engine, relentlessly prowling high up in the sky and unmanned underwater death lurking off the coast of the United States.

Cool to frighten the enemy than something that is prohibitive and difficult to understanding.

But when you look at the real Russian army, you realize that you're back in the last century, and no even fifth generation will not, not to mention the sixth. A tale is simply a confirmation of their own impotence.
But here we have people, Yes. Believe in the good and wise king, that good will conquer evil, and so on. Russia with your mind sometimes really do not understand.

But if we claim to believe in says it all – so perhaps we should at least try.
