For the smooth functioning of production, well-established logistics (MTO) is necessary, which is carried out at enterprises through the logistics authorities.

The objectives of the logistics of production:

Timely provision of enterprise units with the necessary types of resources of the required quantity and quality;

Improving the use of resources, increasing labor productivity, capital productivity, reducing the duration of production cycles for manufacturing products, ensuring the rhythm of processes, reducing the turnover of working capital, full use of secondary resources, increasing the efficiency of investments;

Analysis of the organizational and technical level of production and the quality of products manufactured by the supplier's competitors and preparation of proposals for increasing the competitiveness of the supplied material resources or changing the supplier of a particular type of resource. For the sake of improving the quality of "entrance" enterprises should be afraid of changing non-competitive resource suppliers.

To achieve these goals, employees of the supply authorities must study and take into account the supply and demand for all material resources consumed by the enterprise, the level and change in prices for them and for the services of intermediary organizations, choose the most economical form of commodity circulation, optimize stocks, reduce transportation and procurement and storage costs.

    Planning that includes:

    study of the external and internal environment of the enterprise and the market for individual goods;

    forecasting and determining the need for all types of material resources, planning optimal economic relations;

    optimization of production stocks;

    planning the need for materials and setting their limit for the release of shops;

    operational supply planning.

    An organization that includes:

    collection of information about consumed products, participation in fairs, sales exhibitions, auctions;

    analysis of all sources of satisfaction of the need for material resources in order to choose the most optimal one;

    conclusion of business contracts with suppliers for the supply of products;

    obtaining and organizing the delivery of real resources;

    organization of storage facilities, which is part of the supply authorities;

    providing workshops, sites, jobs with the necessary material resources.

    Control and coordination of work, which include:

    control over the fulfillment of contractual obligations of suppliers, their compliance with the terms of delivery of products;

    control over the expenditure of material resources in production;

    input control over the quality and completeness of incoming material resources;

    inventory control;

    making claims to suppliers and transport organizations;

    analysis of the effectiveness of the supply service, development of measures to coordinate supply activities and increase its efficiency.

Logistics planning production includes a set of works on the analysis of the specific consumption of material resources for the reporting period, the use of technological equipment and equipment, the forecasting and rationing of certain types of resources for the planned period, the development of material balances by types of resources, sources of income and the above areas of use. The above planning work is very labor intensive. They are carried out by economists and planners with the participation of other specialists. Managers do not take part in the development of plans, their task is to check compliance with the principles of planning, the composition of planning documents, and their quality.

Under market conditions, enterprises have the right to choose a supplier, and hence the right to purchase more efficient material resources. This forces the supply staff of the enterprise to carefully study the quality characteristics of products manufactured by various suppliers.

The criteria for choosing a supplier can be the reliability of delivery, the ability to choose the method of delivery, the time to complete the order, the possibility of granting a loan, the level of service. The significance ratio of individual criteria may change over time.

The organizational structure, nature and methods of work of supply services at enterprises are distinguished by their originality. In small enterprises that consume small amounts of material resources in a limited range, supply functions are assigned to small groups or individual employees of the economic department of the enterprise. At most medium and large enterprises, this function is performed by special logistics departments (OMTS), which are subordinate to the deputy head of the production enterprise. Since the quality of the work of the department largely determines the quality of the production process, it must be staffed with highly qualified specialists. In addition, many issues addressed by the department are complex in nature, require knowledge in the field of marketing, logistics, engineering, technology, economics, regulation, forecasting, organization of production and inter-production relations.

OMTS are built on a functional or material basis. In the first case, each supply function (planning, procurement, storage, release of materials) is performed by a separate group of workers. When building supply bodies on a material basis, certain groups of workers perform all the supply functions for a specific type of material.

A characteristic type of supply service structure is mixed (Fig. 1),

Rice. 1. Organizational structure of the MTS department (mixed type)

. when commodity departments, groups, bureaus are specialized in the supply of specific types of raw materials, materials, equipment. However, along with commodity, the supply department includes functional divisions: planning, dispatching.

The mixed type of structure of the supply department is the most rational method of structure, which helps to increase the responsibility of workers, improve the MTO of production.

The planning bureau (group) performs the functions of analyzing the environment and market research, determining the need for material resources, developing a plan for providing the enterprise and its divisions with material and technical resources (included in the business plan of the enterprise), optimizing market behavior for the most profitable provision, formation of a regulatory framework, development of supply plans and analysis of their implementation, control over the fulfillment of contractual obligations by suppliers.

A commodity bureau (group) performs a set of planning and operational functions to ensure the production of specific types of material resources: planning, accounting, importation, storage and release of material into production, i.e. regulates the work of material warehouses.

The dispatching bureau (group) performs operational regulation and control over the implementation of the plan for supplying the enterprise and workshops with raw materials and materials, eliminates problems that arise during the supply of production,

controls and regulates the supply of materials to the enterprise.

Departments (bureaus, groups) of external cooperation provide production with semi-finished products (blanks, parts, assemblies). They can also be built on a functional or commercial basis.

To carry out technical re-equipment and reconstruction of production, the enterprise creates equipment departments, which are usually included in capital construction.

For large enterprises consisting of a number of branches, the most acceptable type of structure, the peculiarity of which is that the divisions have their own supply services with the functions of planning and operational regulation of the supply of production shops and sections with material resources, as well as monitoring their execution (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. Scheme of the organizational structure of the supply service.

The formation of the regulatory framework, the forecasting and development of MTS plans, the establishment of economic relations and the coordination of the supply services included in the enterprise are concentrated on the basis of the enterprise supply service. The interaction of departments of the supply service of the enterprise is carried out on the basis of functional relationships, and not administrative subordination.

One of the links in the organization of the MTS is the warehousing, the main task of which is to receive and store materials, prepare them for production consumption, and directly supply workshops with the necessary material resources. Warehouses, depending on the connection with the production process, are divided into material, production, marketing.

Accepted materials are stored in warehouses by item groups, grades, sizes. Racks are numbered with indexes of materials.

The delivery of materials and the operation of warehouses are organized on the basis of operational procurement plans.

Today, taking into account modern challenges and threats, the Russian army and navy are reaching a fundamentally new level of combat capabilities. In this regard, the system of material technical support(MTO) should correspond to the pace of development of troops and forces, combined with the rational and efficient use of available resources.

Timely and high-quality MTO of the Armed Forces cannot be carried out without trained specialists. Based on this, more than 240 different exercises were conducted with subunits, military units and logistics formations in 2016. They were crowned special doctrine with military command and control bodies, formations, military units and logistics organizations of the Southern Military District, within which about 3.5 thousand personnel and about 1.5 thousand units were involved military equipment. During the exercises, more than 40 episodes of real actions were worked out for the logistics of the troops and fleet forces with the involvement of the Ministry of Transport, the Federal Reserve Agency, Russian Railways and industrial enterprises.

In 2016, more than 6,000 units of new armored and automotive equipment and thousands of modern rocket and artillery weapons were put into operation in the army. This made it possible to ensure the formation of three motorized rifle and one tank divisions, to fully provide reconnaissance units of formations and military parts of the Airborne Forces ATVs and snowmobiles.

And also to fully equip the special forces of the Western Military District with Tiger-M vehicles, to supply the troops with 13 brigade and division sets of missile and anti-aircraft missile systems.

In general, according to the results of the year, the share of modern types of weapons and military equipment in the range of logistics services amounted to 50%. In cooperation with enterprises of the military-industrial complex (DIC), more than 2.5 thousand units of weapons and military equipment were repaired and delivered to the troops, more than 51 thousand current repairs were serviced and performed. As a result of a rational combination of the capabilities of industry and full-time repair bodies, the level of ready-to-use weapons and military equipment in formations and military units increased to 97% by the end of 2016.

SPECIAL CARE - SYRIA

We continue the logistics of the group in Syria. This year, in addition to the created infrastructure, canteens for flight, engineering, non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel, a centralized fuel tanker with the ability to refuel 20 aircraft at the same time were put into operation there. Stationary baths for officers and enlisted personnel, warehouses for storing clothing and food items have been built and are being operated, maintenance and repair points, collapsible metal storage facilities and a stationary battery charging station have been built and equipped with modern equipment. An apron for military transport aircraft and a helipad were also built, a ring road with a length of more than 10 km was built, the entire network of internal roads, parking lots and many other objects were asphalted. As part of the development of the 720th naval logistics point in Tartus, buildings were built to accommodate personnel, in which all the necessary conditions for comfortable living and food for personnel.

In order to ensure the timely provision of the Russian group of troops in Syria in the conditions of its significant remoteness from suppliers material resources, and this is about 10 thousand km, a unique logistics system was built that synchronized the work of all types of transport of the Armed Forces and commercial organizations. No wonder NATO experts Russian system delivery of materiel to Syria was called the "Syrian Express".

WE WENT TO REFORM

In the course of carrying out measures to build up the Armed Forces, the capabilities of the system of their material and technical support were steadily increased. In order to increase efficiency in terms of types of support, independent departments of rocket fuel and fuel, food and clothing departments of the Ministry of Defense have been created. As part of the MTO Headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, a department of general management and organization of master planning is being formed special types technical support, and as part of the Main Armored Directorate - the Department of Supply of Armored and Automobile Equipment.

To improve the controllability, autonomy of actions and increase the production capabilities of the mobile component of the logistics, the main units of the logistics teams, as well as automobile, road commandant and repair and restoration units of the logistics centers of the fleets, were brought to independent states. Two separate repair and evacuation regiments and five technical missile bases have been formed. Four separate automobile companies were reorganized into separate automobile battalions of multi-axle heavy wheeled tractors.

Improving and optimizing the storage sites for weapons, missiles and ammunition, we are completing the construction of 580 storage facilities, which are provided modern systems security, road network, equipped with mechanization. In addition, they will make it possible to exclude external impact on ammunition, ensure their safety and fire and explosion safety, and in the event of emergency situations, prevent their spread to other objects. As part of the creation of a modern and safe system for storing missiles and ammunition, along with the construction of new storage facilities, we are getting rid of old ones; this year, four unpromising storage facilities for missiles and ammunition have been disbanded.

In the Moscow region, the construction of objects of the first stage of the pilot production and logistics complex "Nara" is being completed. In accordance with the decision of the President Russian Federation further construction of production and logistics complexes will be carried out by attracting private investors using the mechanism of concession agreements. In total, by 2020, it is planned to build 25 such complexes equipped with advanced technologies for accounting and processing cargo, which will form a unified logistics system for storing stocks of material and technical means in the Armed Forces.

The construction of modern, appropriate international standards refueling complexes at airfields. Eight were built in 2014-2015, and four more are under construction this year. For three years, about 12 billion rubles have been invested in this project. In 2017-2018, the construction of refueling complexes will begin at another 11 airfields, for which it is planned to invest additionally about 6 billion rubles. Successfully conducted state tests of a new fire-resistant packaging for rockets, mortars and artillery shots. IN next year planned purchase of promising packaging in the amount of 500 million rubles.

SOFTWARE MUST BE UNINTERRUPTED

More than 2 million tons of petroleum products alone were delivered to the troops, of which 1.3 million were aviation fuel for refueling aircraft and 40,000 tons were naval fuel oil for ships of the Navy. This made it possible to ensure flights of Long-Range Aviation aircraft to various regions of the world, visits of warships to ports foreign states and, in general, to increase the raid and surfacing of their crews.

More than 22 million units of utensils and modern technological equipment were supplied to equip canteens and galleys. More than 49 million items of clothing items have been supplied to provide servicemen with military uniforms. Provision standards continue to improve, new and modern items clothing forms.

During the draft campaigns of 2016, 307,000 recruits were fully provided with logistics without disruption. In addition, in order to improve their provision, from this year, instead of a duffel bag, recruiting stations are given bags for wearing uniforms, and from the autumn campaign, cooking for conscripts following the military echelon will be carried out in dining cars instead of kitchen cars.

More than 1,700 servicemen and members of their families, about 6 million tons of various military cargoes were transported in the course of transport support of the Armed Forces by all means of transport.

I note that in order to improve the motor transport support of the Armed Forces in brigades and logistics centers, a automated system monitoring the location of mobile GLONASS objects. Its use allows you to have at all levels - from the company to the central office - in real time reliable data on the number of vehicles of units, the nature of their operation and receive timely management decisions. For this, about 50 stationary and more than 250 mobile dispatch centers have been installed. More than 6.5 thousand vehicles are equipped with navigation kits.

During the non-heating period, more than 100 thousand buildings and structures, about 4 thousand boiler houses and 70 thousand km of engineering networks were prepared for operation in winter conditions. About 800 tons of solid and 500 thousand tons of liquid boiler fuel, as well as 900 thousand cubic meters were supplied to heat supply facilities. m natural gas. To eliminate accidents at heat supply facilities of remote garrisons, 256 special brigades and irreducible stocks of equipment and repair materials.

MILITARY MISSION ON THE RAILWAYS

As part of the implementation of the order of the President of the Russian Federation, the construction of the Zhuravka-Millerovo railway continues by the railway troops. The volume of earthworks performed amounted to more than 9 million cubic meters. m, prepared for the laying of the railway track 47 km of subgrade and laid more than 20 km of rail and sleeper grating. Now the railway troops are assembling and laying the rail-sleeper lattice on a double-track section 11.7 km long from the station. Zaitsevka to st. Sergeevka.

In addition, this year, 62 existing storage facilities with a total volume of earthworks of about 400,000 m have been bunded by the forces of the railway troops. Work has continued to improve the transport infrastructure. The railway troops and road organizations of the Ministry of Defense repaired more than 170 km of access roads and railways for non-public use.

The construction of bridges across the Litovka River in the Primorsky Territory, the Unzha River in the Kostroma Region, the Yenisei River in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, participation in the elimination of natural fires in the Republics of Khakassia and Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Amur Region, assistance in the elimination of anthrax in Yamalo - Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

THERE WAS TIME TO COMPETE

This year, the practice of holding various types of competitions in the specialties of logistics has been continued. 24 competitions for the best junior specialist logistics "Army reserve". More than 16,000 specialists and 12,000 weapons and military equipment have been involved, 14 training grounds have been involved. Four contests (“Field kitchen”, “Masters of armored vehicles”, “Rembat”, “Gunsmith”) were included in the program of the International Army Games - 2016, in which Russian teams took first place.

In addition, this year we have revived the holding of the All-Army competition for the best military equipment of a military unit, which last time was conducted more than 30 years ago - in 1985. More than 700 formations, military units and organizations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were involved in the review-competition, which was held in four stages, according to the territorial principle. Its goals were to carry out work to improve the conditions of military service and the life of military personnel, to improve and prepare objects of the military economy, taking into account modern requirements guidelines, dissemination of positive experience and encouragement of advanced military units.

BREAKTHROUGH TO THE ARCTIC

To provide more than 190 military units deployed in 152 hard-to-reach regions of the Far North, Siberia and Far East where they pass military service and more than 21 thousand military personnel and members of their families live, during the navigation period of 2016 more than 90 thousand tons of various materiel were delivered in a timely manner. The created stocks are guaranteed to provide the personnel of military units until the navigation of 2017.

For the construction of military infrastructure in Arctic zone in 2016, more than 45 thousand tons of materials were delivered by sea. The main work on the construction of objects for carrying combat duty and placement of personnel are completed, the construction and arrangement of technical positions, park and storage areas is underway.

For the second year during the navigation period, measures are being taken to eliminate environmental damage in the Arctic zone. This year, these works were carried out on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, the Alykel airfield, Kotelny and Wrangel islands by four specially formed environmental cleanup platoons. In two years, about 165 hectares of territory have been cleaned of pollution, more than 10 thousand tons of scrap metal have been collected, more than 6.5 thousand tons of them have been removed. This work continues.

To those who have not thought much about the structure of the RF Armed Forces, the army may seem like a banal set of employees who are distributed among different troops, however, this is far from being the case. The army is a separate formation capable of working in various conditions, based on the current foreign policy situation.

Sometimes the Armed Forces help to resolve cases of domestic importance. For proper operation in any situation, there must be a service dealing with logistics issues (in short, MTO). It is recognized to organize the receipt and expenditure of money that are allocated to stay in combat readiness of units.

As part of their MTO activities, the troops solve the following tasks:

  • plan the expenditure of money for the state defense order, the functioning of state programs and appointments of a different targeted nature;
  • check the equipment with weapons, equipment, equipment and other means;
  • control the receipt of allowances by soldiers, organize its delivery;
  • resolve supply issues;
  • provide their services;
  • preparing reservists.

Composition of the Logistics Service

Back in the time of Peter I, a quartermaster management body was organized, which led the military economy, and became a kind of model for today's logistics. Currently, this structure covers every activity in the RF Armed Forces.

The organization of management is carried out at the headquarters. Here, mobilization and rear preparation, data collection, provision of troops, security and defense are carried out. This includes the transport department, the regulation of the railway troops, housing and communal services, food provision and the coordination of metrology.

Under these departments, certain troops are assigned, which implement diverse tasks. Automobile troops are independent units, they are engaged in the transportation of both materials and employees, the wounded and the like. There are brigades and battalions in the army, which are subordinate to the head of the transportation department.


If it were not for the road troops, such a transport communication as known today would not exist. They are engaged in the construction, maintenance and restoration of military roads. These troops have a complex structure, but are subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The goals and objectives of the railway troops are to build and restore communication lines on railway, in its cover and operation. Few people know that there are also pipeline troops. They transport fuel and lubricants to warehouses or to HF. In addition to the personnel, the department has construction equipment and weapons.

The clothing service deals with the belongings of the employee, while repair work and dry cleaning are carried out, baths are provided, and hygiene products are purchased. There are armies without their own economy, then large units are engaged in this.

The task of the food supply service is to provide personnel with food. It has the appropriate technical equipment, since when catering it is necessary to supply it in parts.

Great importance is also given to the issues of medical care, which are solved by the Medical Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Here they not only provide needed help but also preventative.

Appointment of MTO troops

Given the goals and objectives of the formation, it becomes clear why such a complex unit as the MTO is needed.

The main tasks of the service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation include the following:

  • the supply of weapons to maintain the country's defense capability;
  • delivery of fuel and lubricants to maintain combat readiness and military equipment;
  • providing the employee with all the necessary equipment;
  • nutrition;
  • laundry and hygiene procedures;
  • construction, maintenance of auto and railway roads, pipelines;
  • maintenance, repair, provision of housing and communal services of buildings and premises;
  • staff training.

In the management of logistics, as in general, the principle of unity of command applies in the army, therefore, in management, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is the central body, and direct leadership is entrusted to one of the deputy ministers. Further, the powers are transferred to the commanders-in-chief, heads of departments and departments.

To those who have a superficial understanding of the structure of the armed forces, the army seems to be a trivial set of military personnel, distributed according to the branches of service. In fact, it is a separate institution functioning in different modes depending on the foreign policy situation. Often, internal affairs of state importance are also decided by involving the armed forces. To ensure such uninterrupted functioning, a service is needed that would deal with the state of the material and technical base, not only in the military, but also in Peaceful time.

The Logistics Service (MTO), being an integral part of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, organizes the regulation of the receipts and expenditures of funds necessary to maintain the constant combat readiness of all units.

It is possible to classify the tasks that the logistic support of the RF Armed Forces solves, breaking them down according to the principle of homogeneity:

  • Planning of expenditures of budgetary funds for the implementation of the state defense order, work government programs and other target areas.
  • Monitoring of the equipment of all units with weapons, equipment, equipment, material means.
  • Monitoring compliance with allowances for soldiers, as well as organizing the supply of products.
  • Solving legal issues regarding the supply of funds.
  • Ensuring the operation of their own services.
  • Preparation of internal personnel reserves for the functioning of the logistics service.

The composition of the MTO service

The prototype of the modern logistics service is the quartermaster department formed by Peter I, which carried out the conduct of the military economy. The modern structure is represented by a number of departments and directorates that cover all types of activities in the armed forces.

The logistics headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is entrusted with an organizational and managerial function. His duties include ensuring mobilization preparation, readiness of the rear, collection of operational information in the rear, logistic support of the troops, resolving issues of security and defense of the rear. The MTO also includes the department of transport support, the management of the railway troops, the management utilities, food supply department and metrology department.

Certain types of troops are assigned to the listed departments, which ensure the fulfillment of planned and unplanned tasks of the armed forces. Automobile troops are presented as independent units dealing with transportation issues, this can be the delivery of building materials, transportation of military personnel, evacuation, transportation of the wounded. IN Russian army brigades, regiments and battle automobile troops were formed, reporting directly to the head of the transport support department.

Transport communication would not exist in full if it were not for the activities of the road troops. Their task is to build, maintain, cover and restore military roads. Some tasks of road transport support are also within their competence. The structure of the troops is quite complex, since they include different units, but they all report to the head of the road administration under the Ministry of Defense.

Railway Troops ensure the construction or restoration work of railway tracks, their technical cover and operation. Few people know about the existence of pipeline troops. These divisions implement the transportation of fuels and lubricants to warehouses for storage, during pumping or for delivery to parts. In their department there is not only personnel, but also the corresponding construction equipment. Total length of all branches of the pipeline is 2000 kilometers.

As a separate MTO service, a clothing service has been allocated, which is engaged in bringing the personal clothing property of a serviceman back to normal. For this, repairs, dry cleaning are carried out, detergents and hygiene products are purchased, and bath services for soldiers are organized. There are units in the Russian army that do not run their own economy. In this case, they are on allowance in other, larger units.

The food service, as an integral part of the MTO, provides food for personnel. For this purpose, the supply of food in parts, the rationing of products, and control are organized. This service is technically equipped, because the delivery must be carried out in all army units.

The fuel and lubricants supply service includes associations involved in the transportation of rocket fuel, lubricants, special liquids, and fuel. This also includes storage areas, bases, pipelines.

Support for the combat capability of the army will be full-fledged only with due medical care implemented by the Medical Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The function of the medical service includes not only the provision of assistance, but also the conduct preventive measures. The service is subordinate to the Main Medical Directorate of the Moscow Region.

Priority tasks

Considering the presented structure, as well as grouped tasks, we will give specific examples explaining why it is necessary to maintain such a complex entity as a logistics service. To do this, it is enough to remember what the army is facing in the rear, what work has to be carried out to maintain the combat capability of the units and organize the life of the servicemen.

  • The supply of weapons is carried out to directly ensure the defense capability of the state.
  • Delivery of fuel is carried out in order to maintain the combat readiness of all military equipment.
  • Military equipment, clothing and equipment.
  • Food for soldiers and officers.
  • Bath and laundry procedures.
  • Construction and maintenance of roads, railroad tracks and pipelines.
  • Maintenance of buildings, repair of premises, maintenance of public utilities.
  • Training of own personnel. There are no courses or short-term programs for training personnel in the staff of the MTO service. Therefore, preparation issues have to be dealt with independently.

The army principle of unity of command is also implemented in the management of logistics. It was mentioned above about the components of the entire structure, which were presented by the departments. But along the vertical of subordination, the entire service is under the control of the Ministry of Defense. Direct supervision is carried out by one of the Deputy Ministers. Further, the powers are distributed among the commanders-in-chief of the troops, with the subsequent transfer to the heads of departments and directorates.

A. VENEDIKTOV - 12 hours 8 minutes in Moscow. Good afternoon everyone. At the microphone Alexei Venediktov. And Anatoly Yermolin and I are receiving General of the Army, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Dmitry Vitalyevich Bulgakov. Hello, Dmitry Vitalievich.

D. BULGAKOV - Good afternoon.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Dmitry Vitalievich is responsible for the logistics of the army. We have been trying for a long time to understand where the very point, the important, the most important point, for which Dmitry Vitalyevich is responsible in the technical sense, let's say, and realized that this is a matter of exploitation. Here, my first question as a civilian, there ... Tolya is still a military man, and I am a civilian. Tell me, please, today where we have the strongest places in the operation of equipment in the Russian army and where should we change? Where should you focus?

D. BULGAKOV - Thank you very much for the question from the beginning of our work. First, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to... today is Pacific Fleet Day.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Yes.

D. BULGAKOV - To congratulate all the Pacific Ocean people - and the surface forces, submarine forces, and most importantly - the logistics system, without which it is difficult for any ship or boat to practically complete the task. Health, happiness, good luck and success to all in fulfilling all the combat missions facing the Pacific Fleet. At first, before answering the question, I would briefly say that the logistics system and all types of support (there are 3 of them in the Armed Forces today) of all armies, including the Russian army, are combat, rear and technical . Not a single support system can develop independently without the development of the Armed Forces themselves, that is, a support system is a system that simultaneously develops under support structures. Naturally, they must comply with the parameters requested by combat formations and units. In order to ensure at the appointed time in the specified place as it should be and what should be. And to maintain weapons and military equipment in that state of technical readiness. Today, the logistics system, I want to remind you once again that there were 2 of them - rear and technical. As a rule, they worked in one zone, but in two areas of activity. As a result, the activities of these two systems were reduced to providing personnel and weapons, military equipment. Today, a decision was made in the Ministry of Defense to create a system of logistics under a single leadership in one single zone with the creation of forces and means to date. Later, if possible, I will explain what forces and means we have. The entire logistics system today consists of 2 components - a stationary base and a mobile base, which exists from a battalion to brigades and other formations and formations today. All connections and parts of the logistics system are connections of logistics teams in the district. In the brigade itself there is a logistics battalion. In the battalion - a company of logistics. Logistics company in a line battalion. They are all parts constant readiness and correspond to the level of readiness of those connections and parts that they provide. The meaning and task lies in the fact that the logistics system is engaged in bringing allowances or services to the personnel. And maintaining the staffing, provision of weapons with military equipment in accordance with the states and tables to the staff of the divisions of the units and their operation. Therefore, in answer to your question, we say that operation is the most difficult process in the operation of weapons and military equipment. There are many parameters in operation here - both the training of personnel and the training of the crew, their technical literacy, their preparation for the operation of complex weapons, military equipment today. Therefore, today we are in operation for this to happen, we train crews of driver-mechanics, you know, according to a three-month program in training centers in order to engage in the operation of weapons, military equipment.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Is it enough? Dmitry Vitalyevich, look, today is one year of service, yes, by conscription. So, 3 months of training, right? 9 months of work. Enough?

D. BULGAKOV - If you are asking about the training of specialists who are engaged in technical ... in the sense of support.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, a driver.

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, a driver. In principle, today ... not in principle, but we will say - unequivocally that experience has shown that this time is enough for preparation, this has already been tested, all this has already been proven that this period is enough for preparation. The second part of the component is ... precisely those technical support units that are engaged in the technical support of weapons and military equipment. Naturally, we, probably, should correctly understand that for 3 months a repairman to repair the most complex equipment on electronic equipment and so on, we are not able to prepare. Therefore, the procedure for recruiting repair units follows the call from the military registration and enlistment offices of those specialists who are trained in civilian life. This time. Second. This is training in educational units. Two. And the third is the preparation already directly in the military unit itself. But today, in accordance with the decision of the Minister of Defense, we reported, made all the calculations, studied these experiments, and so on, we are switching to the maintenance of weapons and military equipment by civilian enterprises and civilian specialists, professionals in these matters. That is, this issue includes today specialists from factories, enterprises that are engaged in the manufacture and maintenance of this equipment.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, you said that there is also a combat direction, right? And how can civilian specialists perform this very quickly and, most importantly, in a coordinated manner?

D. BULGAKOV - I am answering this question. The question is often asked - what if there is a war?

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, actually ... well, a conflict, well, a conflict.

D. BULGAKOV - You and I must clearly understand a number of things. First, in peacetime combat training. Therefore, there are standards, indicators, when weapons and military equipment should be subject to daily maintenance during operation, right? If maintenance is numbered... No. 1, No. 2... there is a medium repair, there is a major overhaul, there is a current repair of equipment, and so on. For this purpose, a plan for the operation of weapons and military equipment is being developed in each part. Under it, a plan is drawn up and deployed to provide spare parts, various other fuels and lubricants for these tasks. Therefore, for this, civilian enterprises are involved in service maintenance, with which we have a contract, and under this plan, in accordance with each unit, for each brigade, this plan was made ... for each brigade. And within these terms, specialists stay in this unit and carry out the maintenance that should be carried out on certain types of weapons and military equipment.

A. VENEDIKTOV - This is when there is no conflict.

D. BULGAKOV - When there is no conflict.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Not just civil, yes, enterprises. These are military-industrial complex enterprises that produce the same equipment, including combat equipment.

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, these are enterprises of the military-industrial, military-industrial complex, these are enterprises that were factories of the Ministry of Defense, that is, these are civilian specialists, each trained in his own direction.

A. VENEDIKTOV - By the way, can you build it in? And if this is a foreign-style technique?

D. BULGAKOV - So, for this, too, specialists from civilian enterprises of the military-industrial complex have the appropriate training.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Russian?

D. BULGAKOV - Russian, of course, definitely. Just as we say today, there is a service for servicing foreign-made cars. Ours work too civilian people who have been trained...

A. VENEDIKTOV - This is a very important question, because our listeners ...

D. BULGAKOV - They are unambiguously trained on this issue, and the fact is that the enterprise has a license for production, performance of work. Not just like that. It receives a license for the right to perform certain work on a particular weapon, military equipment. And it also gives a warranty or warranty period for the performance of certain tasks after this repair.

A. VENEDIKTOV - That is, I understand correctly that if, for example, these IVECO or Mistrals are purchased, then it is Russian specialists, specially trained, who will then carry out ...

D. BULGAKOV - Of course, definitely.

A. VENEDIKTOV - That is, not the French, not the Americans, not the Italians, not the Canadians, not the Zimbabweans...

D. BULGAKOV - Definitely. Well, today, whoever has a car ... let's say I don't have one, and whoever has foreign cars too, take any - BMW, yes, they drive it for service. I didn't see it anywhere...

A. VENEDIKTOV - Germans, let the Germans work there.

D. BULGAKOV - But the second part, which you asked a question, this task on the battlefield consists of two things. The first is to help people and technology. And the task on the battlefield is to evacuate ... that is, the first is ... if possible, that is, full-time repair units, to provide the crew so that the vehicle either continues to perform the task, or leaves the battlefield in order to recover. Therefore, when they say that, here, what to do on the battlefield? No one repairs equipment on the battlefield. Equipment must be evacuated. Or that technical assistance was provided to her, with which she can continue further ... why, for example, there is a lot of electronic equipment today. Somewhere the transistor burned out. But a specialist can quickly determine, yes, a driver is sometimes not able to determine the cause of a car failure or a stop. Therefore, for this there are repair units that are engaged in evacuation from the battlefield, and then the repair units that you are talking about, including we have today and contracts have been concluded ... those factories that are operating today, they are deploying specialized enterprises for the repair of weapons.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Dmitry Vitalievich, I remind you, Dmitry Vitalievich Bulgakov, General of the Army, Deputy Minister of Defense in our live with Anatoly Yermolin. Here, on the most, perhaps, primitive example. Maybe he's not a primitive example. Small arms, yes, personal firearms. Here, there, we all know that AK, there, continues to serve for a long time. Tell me, please, but if we talk about spare AKs, here, 1:5, 1:7, 1:2 in warehouses, yes, here, AKs are also lost, broken, exploited. What is the stock rate for you, say, for small arms? For personal firearms.

D. BULGAKOV - I'll answer your question, but I'll ask... I won't name specific numbers.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, approximately.

D. BULGAKOV - I will name the ideology.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Yes.

D. BULGAKOV - If there is order, we say, there are states, there are time sheets to the states that are provided, and there is a separation of reserves. Because there are scientifically substantiated and proven calculations, the percentage of output of weapons of military equipment, depending on today's existing means of destruction. To do this, a separation of stocks or weapons, military equipment is being created to make up for losses. Because losses today on the battlefield, as they say, are divided into irretrievable, which are not subject to repair, nothing, losses that require medium repair, current repair, or, conversely, current medium ... and major repairs. So, for these exits of armaments of military equipment, a separation of stocks and the weapons themselves, military equipment, has been created. To date, these reserves have been created 100%.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Actually, I had a question about this.

D. BULGAKOV - 100%.

A. VENEDIKTOV - After all, shooting... well, peacetime... it is clear that people are learning.

D. BULGAKOV - Today they lie in arsenals, bases and warehouses in accordance with the approved ... there are orders 0044, 0060 of the Minister of Defense.

A. VENEDIKTOV - That is, there are reserves?

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, there are reserves.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Tolya.

A. YERMOLIN - Dmitry Vitalievich, but returning to the repair base, is what you are telling now, is it the way it should be or the way it is now? Why am I asking this question? Because literally 7 years ago, when I was studying at the Academy of the General Staff, they were just telling us ... well, tankers, for example, yes, that the problem was no longer to produce new types of weapons, well, tanks in particular, yes , but was where to repair them, and the main problem was that the personnel, in general, had already been lost. Here are the ones that were prepared earlier. So, how are things going with your staff now? Where do you take them? Are qualifications sufficient?

D. BULGAKOV - If we talk about this topic, then the most important indicator of the maintenance subdivisions of technical support is the daily return of equipment to operation, the daily return of equipment to operation. To do this, today every unit, starting from the battalion, has what I called ... in the line battalion there is a logistic support company ... further in the brigade there is a logistics battalion, there is a repair and restoration battalion. And in the logistics brigade there are two repair and restoration battalions. So, the task of the repair authorities is to maximize ... and we strive to ensure that at least 70% of the equipment that requires medium, current and medium repairs is returned to service every day. Because a major overhaul is underway in a row ... and then, if it’s ready ... and we have now switched to a major overhaul, to components and assemblies, that is, components and assemblies ... if the engine fails, without disassembling, we change the engine ... the maximum is 72 hours . Therefore, we are striving at least for today, and these indicators are there - 70 percent or more of the equipment is returned to service every day. And those irretrievable losses that enter the battlefield are completed at the expense of those stocks that are supplied from arsenals, bases and warehouses or reserve bases that are available today.

A. VENEDIKTOV - I will take a little step to the right. The fact is that last summer, when there were fires, the ammunition depots, well, roughly speaking, also fell into the danger zone. I know that you have written a report. Please tell us what you are going to do this summer, so that in the event of a situation around the ammunition depots, yes, so that they do not tear ... well, of course, yes, the question is this. What proposals were made to the leadership in anticipation, unfortunately, the Ministry of Emergency Situations also warns of the possibility of fires, including in the area of ​​ammunition depots.

D. BULGAKOV - Well, this question has a wide field of activity. Why? You know, today we have… a program approved by the Minister of Defense, and I am implementing it. The first and most important thing is that the ammunition that the armed forces do not need, based on the availability of weapons, equipment, times. Those that have served the deadlines, we have to dispose of them this year in the 4 areas that we are leading. This is a little, a lot, the figure is very large, here it is, very large. The second thing we are doing is... we are moving arsenals outside the cities from 31 cities. You know…

A. VENEDIKTOV - To be in the cities, in fact, within the borders.

D. BULGAKOV - Here, 31 cities. This was reported to the Minister, approved by the Minister of Defense, reported to the President, and this year we are doing this work, withdrawing from the cities ... you remember the case that took place in Ulyanovsk.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Yes, yes, yes, of course.

D. BULGAKOV - Here. Third. Today we… I declare to you with full responsibility that we have completed all fire-fighting measures for arsenals, bases and warehouses. Since last year. The Minister of Defense also approved and gave the go-ahead. If earlier we were engaged in the maintenance, creation of 50-meter mineralized strips, perimeter clearing, and so on, by means of arsenals, today we are doing it on a contractual basis civil organizations. Today, I report to you, 100% of the arsenals, bases and warehouses are plowed, 100% of the mineralized strips have been created. Today, we are almost completing the plan approved by the Minister of Defense, by July 1 we must complete the creation of additional fire reservoirs at the expense of the fuel service reservoirs that came out ... let's say disbanded bases and warehouses, these are 60 cubic meters, we are now creating additional fire tanks at all arsenals, bases and warehouses in such a way that the water supply corresponds to 2-2.5 times the need for this issue. We have already purchased and delivered 100% and distributed them to all arsenals, bases and warehouses ... I am even ready to give you the numbers. To date, we have delivered and converted ARSy-14, which were in service with the RHBZ troops, 500 vehicles for fire engines, first of all, we completed all the bases and warehouses, and military units. Secondly, we have purchased 230 modern fire engines this year.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Additionally.

D. BULGAKOV - In addition to this question. We have purchased more than 40 different types of water bombs, and not counting other fire equipment, including the simplest fire extinguisher, and all bases and warehouses are provided. In accordance with what is, as you say, God forbid, such a situation will arise, the minister was reported, the chief of the general staff was also reported, and a decision was made, today we are ready to provide assistance to the Armed Forces up to 15,000 people in the personnel department and more than a thousand units of equipment in order to provide assistance to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation through the Ministry of emergencies…

A. VENEDIKTOV - Dmitry Vitalievich, thanks to the Ministry of Defense, I had representatives of our military unit in Transnistria here, and it works there ... there are also warehouses.

D. BULGAKOV - Yes.

A. VENEDIKTOV - It works there... You turn it on... this work has also been carried out there, because there is another state, there, another zone, 50-meter or 100-meter.

D. BULGAKOV - So, if I tell you everything for the Armed Forces, I mean - wherever they are deployed.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, this is important, you understand, this is important for our listeners, because there are also warehouses there.

D. BULGAKOV - Wherever they are deployed. Whether in Transnistria, in Tajikistan, that is, where our troops are deployed, these tasks have been completed there.

A. VENEDIKTOV - And the disposal... we have 2 minutes before the news, maybe to finish this issue before the news, the disposal of ammunition in Pridnestrovie - how is it going?

D. BULGAKOV - Today there is no need and no need for the disposal of ammunition in Pridnestrovie.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, there is partial export.

D. BULGAKOV - Well, everything that was supposed to be done there, we have already done.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Already done? That is, your MTO work ended there?

D. BULGAKOV - It ended there, yes.

A. VENEDIKTOV - It ended there. And in Tajikistan?

D. BULGAKOV - It's the same there - it's over.

A. VENEDIKTOV - In Armenia?

D. BULGAKOV - It also ended in Armenia.

A. VENEDIKTOV - It hasn't started yet, has it?

D. BULGAKOV - Why didn't it start? The base - what is, is provided. All other decisions on it have been made.

A. VENEDIKTOV - By the way, all the bases that are ... bases, there are warehouses, and so on, outside the Russian Federation, too, here, 100% ... what you say also applies to them.

D. BULGAKOV - And the Black Sea Fleet is the same ...

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, that's understandable. Tol.

A. YERMOLIN - There is very little time left. Then in the continuation of the fires. Some special latest systems you are using? So, when we talked with the participants of the firefighting last summer, they said that there were situations when no amount of ploughing helped, because plasma is formed, and it's just ... a crown fire, and it can directly fall anywhere.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Over the fence.

A. YERMOLIN - On the trees, anywhere. Here, in this case, the fire engine does not help. Maybe some special chemical fire extinguishing agents will work?

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, we are these divisions ... we have also created stations as needed. But the fact is that, you know, it’s actually hard to fight the elements. And the elements… I was… extinguishing our Kolomna base, if you remember.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Yes, of course.

D. BULGAKOV - Naturally, this is an element, of course, to foresee everything and create some kind of shield that you are talking about so that it does not fly over and so on. The task is different. The main thing is to have the strength and means to eliminate, to prevent the spread of the fire. Here's the most important thing.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Thank you. I remind you, Dmitry Vitalyevich Bulgakov, General of the Army, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, in the studio. We'll be back to our conversation in 5 minutes.

NEWS

A. VENEDIKTOV - Hello again. Alexey Venediktov, Anatoly Yermolin. Our guest is Dmitry Vitalyevich Bulgakov, General of the Army, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation for Logistics. Or rather, not on, but is responsible for logistics. Anatoly.

A. YERMOLIN - We talked about logistics and outsourcing in particular, about what is involved a large number of civilian specialists now, and even uttered such a phrase - what if there is a war tomorrow? And if tomorrow there is a war, then what about civilians in this situation?

D. BULGAKOV - I will answer this question as follows. Today, the issue of outsourcing is a very important issue, because we have just talked to you - and the armament of military equipment, which is currently coming in is complex, we talked about culture, we talked about other things, so today in armed forces ah, the outsourcing system works in many ways. I will list them with your permission. First of all, it is maintenance and repair of equipment. It is divided into 2 parts. The first is guaranteed by the forces of the plant, manufacturers. We have signed a contract with them. The second is the follow-up by Oboronservis LLC. The next one is refueling vehicles at civilian gas stations. We all our structures ... fuel their cars ... hospitals, that is, those that do not Combat vehicles, refuel at civilian gas stations. Next - aviation technology at airfields based on the Air Force and the Navy. Refueling complexes operate on a competitive basis, contracts have been signed, and they provide fuel. And when they start asking the question - how is the airfield ... the airfield in war time won't leave. He won't go anywhere. This is a fixed airfield. The refueling complex remains in place. Therefore, the tasks are also carried out in peacetime, at any time on this issue. For catering, bath and laundry services, for the delivery of materiel to troops stationed in the regions of the far north outside our state. This is also a very interesting and complex question. If we were previously engaged in… it was necessary to purchase material resources, accumulate all this, put it on the district bases and warehouses, then it was necessary to send it to the port of loading, to the transshipment bases. Load ships and tankers from transshipment bases. And then take it there to a military unit in the regions of the far north and hand it over. Now we are working on a direct scheme. The supplier wins the auction for the supply and supplies the material assets in full, including the transport component…

A. VENEDIKTOV - Your head doesn't hurt. He won and delivers, right?

D. BULGAKOV - At the final destination, we ordered ... 5 thousand tons of fuel and lubricants under the contract. We accept 5 thousand tons of fuel...

A. VENEDIKTOV - And how did he stage it?

D. BULGAKOV - And we pay for this, for this service we fully ... that is, all this economy is obtained, as they say, in full today. The next is the bunkering of ships and tankers of the navy in the world's oceans. We also work on outsourcing.

A. VENEDIKTOV - That's how! I wanted to ask.

D. BULGAKOV - It can also be discussed in different ways. We have an auxiliary fleet that is designed to carry out these tasks. Yes, he does, he also conducts training with his own ships, but if we count the resources that the auxiliary fleet spends on these tasks, if there are forces and means ... those that are able to perform tasks ... the civilian sector in the same world ocean. Therefore, we also have a contract. To date, with the NGO "Freight", which provides our ships in the world's oceans. According to requests that at the point... at what point, at what time is necessary... we manage what? Not only… we carry out bunkering of ships with fuel and lubricants, provision of water, provision of food, that is, 3 components to ensure the ship in the campaign, which is the most important in its activity.

A. VENEDIKTOV - That is, third-party organizations do it, roughly speaking?

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, this is done by third-party civil organizations.

A. VENEDIKTOV - But there is a question. It happens that our peacekeepers, yes, say, helicopter pilots in Africa. And who delivers?

D. BULGAKOV - We provide 100% of the same outsourcing.

A. VENEDIKTOV - To the war zone? Well, practically.

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, we have a contract there. And they are provided ... including we do not deploy and do not have any of our tents that are there. We fully rent the campus and provide outsourcing… including washing, laundry, refueling of helicopters, and medical support, that is, this is such a question…

A. VENEDIKTOV - This is Russian companies or local?

D. BULGAKOV - Any, already any.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Any.

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, an auction. Under any auction, you know, the task, the condition, the procedure for performing all these cases is written. We also carry out road transportation of material assets by third-party organizations, motorcades, which today have a wide range, range, and then I am ready to tell you the numbers. And now we are switching to integrated engineering and airfield support by third-party organizations. Here is just the range of those where we are outsourcing to date. Speaking as you said, if there is a war tomorrow, then at the beginning I will name the figures that I told you about. Today, within the framework of service maintenance or outsourcing, we only plan to repair more than 4.5 thousand units of weapons and equipment in this way. More than 4.5 thousand pieces of equipment. This, we will say, is practically weapons and equipment that require the implementation of this repair for the Armed Forces. We refuel equipment with a volume of 2.4 thousand tons at civilian enterprises in 84 cities. At 20 airfields, this is almost 400,000 tons of kerosene running today. There are more than 70 thousand tons of fuel in terms of bunkering. If we talk about nutrition, last year we graduated 51.6 thousand military personnel. This year, we have already reached the parameters of 380,000 people who are satisfied with outsourcing. This is almost 50% of the armed forces that receive food from the boiler. This is not only ... this is also the flight crew, engineering and technical staff, these are military personnel, as they say, of combined arms brigades or others. The only thing is that we do not outsource work on surface ships and submarines. Naturally, it is clear from the perspective of their activities. Today, we wash civilian laundry in 40 large laundry enterprises with a volume of 30,000 tons of linen ... You know very well that there used to be a bath and laundry plant in almost every brigade.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Yes, yes.

D. BULGAKOV - They kept everything else. Today we have third-party organizations erase these issues. If we talk about washing, we currently have a contract for 37,000 people, this is for washing. For the year we have more than 2 million - this washing of personnel is also outsourced. Individual tailoring of uniforms in full 100% outsourcing. Order. 44 enterprises are working. Transport organizations Last year, we transported 84,500 tons of railcars, and this year it is somewhere over 100,000 tons, and we only plan to complete about 13,000 machine trips by machine trips, this is the task. Well, to complete the task, I already told you at the beginning, there is structural subdivision, which is statewide leased technical facilities, kitchens, tankers, repair shops, and so on. And the servicemen who are, they are engaged today only in the preparation for which he must be ready to perform tasks in a combat situation. And it's not a secret for anyone that civilian enterprises and organizations go to carry out these tasks under a contract in the area of ​​conflicts or hostilities. Please, you know perfectly well that they are working in Afghanistan and working in Iraq, everywhere. And our organizations with which we have contracts, if necessary, will also work, there is no doubt about this issue.

A. YERMOLIN - Dmitry Vitalyevich, how do you solve pricing problems? Well, you do have fixed budgets, don't you? Let's say the repairmen who serve you say that's it, our prices have gone up.

D. BULGAKOV - So, today the structure and scheme of work of contracting in the Ministry of Defense has been approved. I, as the head of the system, am responsible for logistics, there are customers. Headquarters or departments. Because today the logistics system in the central office consists of 3 departments - the department of planning and coordination of logistics, the department of resource support, the department of transport support. Three main directorates are the main tank directorate, the main military artillery directorate and the main directorate of the head of the railway troops. Here is the structure that is currently subordinate to us. All departments and main departments are customers.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Separately?

A. YERMOLIN - That is, they have reserves in the budgets, yes ...

D. BULGAKOV - So, we are participating, based on the fact that the need, what is necessary for the Armed Forces, is determined by this or that service or Glavk. How much bread is needed is determined by the food service, because there is the number of personnel, yes, there is a norm, there are how many 365 days, the number, here, determines the volume.

A. YERMOLIN - Yes, but the price has risen in the markets.

D. BULGAKOV - Then comes the budget, then comes this economy, there are deflator indices, which are provided for when approving the development of the budget. Then we, by submitting an application to the structures that are today in the Ministry of Defense ... the pricing department, there is the state defense order department, which fulfill our applications, hold auctions, competitions, determine the winners and say - here, the contract will be signed by the winner in this direction with this organization. You asked a question about pricing. We are guided by the prices that were before, yes? And the prices that are. And we offer or submit documents to the pricing department. Pricing department - it monitors the market, it knows all the prices from the world and so on. And he considers these or those applications, approves this or that price, coordinating in order to be able to issue, issue documents by the state order department for holding an auction.

A. YERMOLIN - And, here, were there ... I'm sneaking up on the topic of corruption, right? Here, you fixed, here, indeed, some specific examples? Well, it's no secret that mainly in construction, repair, there, in shipbuilding, there, man-hours norms are used. So, our cruiser, for example, there, requires, there, almost 10 times more man hours, there, respectively, and funding than, there, I don’t know, Dutch or American, and so on, right? Here, how are you with this ... these questions are solved by professional estimators, yes, here, do you have such an apparatus of such people? And what about corruption in general?

A. VENEDIKTOV - Corruption is good.

D. BULGAKOV - If I answer this question, I will say that the structures that are subordinate to me, they practically do not participate in these issues, because its task is to determine the need. Pricing is handled by the Pricing Department. And I will say that this is a very properly built system, placed, and this is one of the ways that you say to get out of that corruption, because many structures are involved in this issue that are not subordinate to anyone. They are all in different subordination. Department of Pricing - it is subordinate to a completely different Deputy Minister of Defense. Has nothing to do with the system. The military representatives who participate are subordinates to a completely different first deputy. That is, the system built in the Ministry of Defense, approved by the Minister of Defense, is such that the elements of corruption that can occur on this issue are excluded as much as possible.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Then I have another question. You spoke about operation. So, when samples of experimental equipment are coming, naturally, your representatives should participate, right? Here, let's say you're watching... exploitation... you know, this scandal is quite loud in the press, there, "Tiger" or "IVECO". Here's what they say not on this issue, in general, how can your representatives evaluate what is needed at the moment or what you are watching - which is easier to operate? What is more reliable? How, here, do they write according to their department? So, they visited the tests of future technology, compared - one, two, three, four samples. Do they have to report something further?

D. BULGAKOV - This means that the development of weapons and military equipment is carried out by the commander-in-chief of one or another type of armed forces. He determines what he needs, what weapons and equipment he needs to conduct modern forms and ways of doing armed struggle. It defines, it sets parameters. Then comes the development and access to a prototype, which ... the operating system participates in testing, participates in various ... until it is accepted for supply to the troops.

A. VENEDIKTOV - You must say, Dmitry Vitalyevich - how will I serve this?

D. BULGAKOV - Therefore, we participate in this issue and give our proposals based on the experience of operating similar, previous samples, and so on. But here is the most main question it is worth saying that the system, here, during the operation of equipment, we conduct a very large analysis of the behavior of a sample of weapons and equipment, we analyze starting from the wishes and give analyzes of the crews, from how the restoration of equipment, maintainability, and so on, and so on, that is, we analyze all the constituent parts of it. And when an order comes in, we give out our wishes, as operators for this or that type of weapons and equipment. Starting from the life support of the same crew ... a lot of things. Let's say today, here, just take, let's say, a tank. The crew... during operation, they came to the conclusion that the tank should have at least an M3 tent for the crew, because it needs to rest, and this is now included in the kit. There are kits to boil water. That is, we are giving our wishes, which we have, from the life support of the crew of weapons and equipment to its repair, restoration. We say how much time it takes to replace one or another unit, how this will affect the restoration of the combat capability of the unit, whatever we want. What we would like is that there should be a monoblock engine with a box, and so on. Well, a number of other components, assemblies, and industry ... those developers ... they take this into account, they understand. Next we do comparative characteristics and we say that if with this option the tank is repaired after 72 hours, with this option it will be restored after 4 hours.

A. YERMOLIN - And how is the question now, here, with ensuring the survivability of the crew? Well, it is no coincidence, here, they appeared in the west, here, you already mentioned IVECO, “Boxer” in Germany. Just military equipment, arranged according to the principle of capsule booking. So, are we somehow moving in this direction ourselves?

D. Bulgakov - We are moving. And we are moving very well.

A. YERMOLIN - That is, we develop it ourselves?

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, and we are moving very well. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, but we are moving very well.

A. VENEDIKTOV - And Thrones too, unmanned...

D. BULGAKOV - Well, unmanned aerial vehicles are not my department. At least, for arming the equipment that we are operating, work on this issue is very active and purposeful.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, let's talk about your favorite - about the procedure for using clothing property in winter time. There was a lot of criticism about the fact that, accordingly, the uniform, well, cold, to put it bluntly. Complained, complaints, probably, and first of all, they came to you. Actually, not even to the press, but to you. What has been done in a year? Has any additional research been done? Have additional decisions been made?

D. BULGAKOV - Answering this question ... he was very excited, let's say, this winter, but there were many different opinions, different checks, and starting from correspondents who traveled and wore this uniform, and so on to various, as they say, organizations . And all this question. I would like, perhaps, to explain, and perhaps so that we understand together that the uniform is the personal belongings of servicemen. And there is no such form of clothing that, starting from civilian, yes, we have a civilian uniform that would provide a person in various climatic conditions... here, put on a jacket, yes, and is it from +10 to -50? There is no such thing, right?

A. VENEDIKTOV - Well, there is no such thing, of course.

D. BULGAKOV - That is why military uniforms are designed to perform certain tasks in certain conditions. And certain parameters are laid under it. So, the point is, when a new form of clothing was developed, and this principle is based on multi-layering, 7 layers. 7 layers. And these layers are dressed ... some are worn constantly, and the second ones begin to be worn when certain conditions occur. But in this case, this form of clothing - it is determined that it is maximally calculated up to -25 for no more than 2 hours of being outdoors when performing medium-intense work. That is, not by the method of getting up and standing with a statue, but by the method of performing medium-intensity work. For this, this multi-layered work is provided.

A. YERMOLIN - Well, so that we are understood correctly, it is not the soldier who determines the form of clothing, yes, in the morning the foreman built it - he said.

D. BULGAKOV - I wanted to say ...

A. YERMOLIN - Take off the laces.

D. BULGAKOV - Yes, the fact is that these uniforms are determined by the commander depending on the conditions that come ... in our charters it is written, everywhere, that every day the commander announces the uniform that should be for military personnel. Therefore, speaking… the prosecutor's office worked a lot on this issue. We did checks. I myself traveled, traveled all the districts, all these questions practically went through with my feet. He wore it himself, this uniform all winter on these issues. And what's coming out today? We finally say that this form of clothing is everywhere, as it was laid down in conditions up to -25 and wind speeds no more than 7 meters per second. We conducted a second, as they say, more survey. The prosecutor's office also gave us the materials that they had today. Therefore, the form was developed, and during various checks it was found out that the questions were practically not about the form of clothing, but questions of an organizational order. Indeed, to date, this form of clothing has also been determined ... there are special clothes, there are other clothes ...

A. VENEDIKTOV - Over 25.

D. BULGAKOV - Which should be issued to military personnel. And by order of the minister, the supply standards include this uniform. These are personal belongings of military personnel. Then the inventory items of military personnel come further. Because felt boots are an inventory item. And if we take, for example, the order of the minister, it is written that in the Siberian military district or the eastern military district in the area ... felt boots are issued to 100% of the personnel. And they are available. That sheepskin coats are issued to this personnel 100% in this region. And then, let's say, for example, in Yekaterinburg - they are issued there for 50 or 60%. That is, one is in the classroom in the field, and the second is in the classes that are going, yes, then he does not need to wear a sheepskin coat there. That is, this whole organizational structure- it affects this order of execution. Therefore, we once again conducted all the studies, took into account all the wishes that the servicemen have. We are finalizing all these issues this year, the Minister of Defense has been reported, a meeting with the Minister has been held, all these issues have been determined, including those of an organizational nature. I want to tell you that now there is a call. And the servicemen are provided for at the military registration and enlistment office, yes, they get dressed, then, here, a decision has been made ... this memo goes into the pocket of every serviceman upon conscription. Not to mention that it is in every part ... these are albums about the order of wearing uniforms. Because even a change in the order of wearing a uniform completely affects the temperature regime.

A. YERMOLIN - What is important today is that, of course, officers should explain this, yes, that is, the rules of hygiene, because if you ... we were the last to discuss it in Opener. Children were taught how to sleep on a hike, yes, that is, if you warm up, move a lot, sweat, no matter how you dress, no matter what thermal underwear you wear, you will still freeze. If you have not changed and put on dry clothes for yourself. That is, elementary such ...

D. BULGAKOV - How many checks there were. Here, there is, for example, building in the barracks. Everyone is dressed and standing in the barracks.

A. VENEDIKTOV - And sweat.

D. BULGAKOV - A person begins to sweat. They go out into the street - naturally, all this begins ... nevertheless, many organizational issues depend on all matters. Therefore, we have taken into account all the questions for today. Those that have wishes, we will finalize this year. I think that ... and brought, told already, classes, fees held. That is, all organizational work has been carried out to date.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Dmitry Vitalyevich, but the kit for especially cold climates is also fully provided in those regions that are determined by order of the minister, or has not everything been delivered there yet?

D. BULGAKOV - So, there, in areas with a particularly cold climate, everyone is also provided with uniforms, but we are talking about something else - the development or approval of uniforms for Arctic units.

A. VENEDIKTOV - It's already quite there, yes.

D. BULGAKOV - Therefore, we are currently working on this issue. I had previously reported to the Minister of Defense and the General Staff on this issue. Now we are studying the experience of both Norway and other states in all cases. After all, I would ask you to understand correctly - that this development of clothing forms, it is preceded by the study of everything and everything. And the fact is that our state is not in one climate zone located. And today, if you look at the uniform, we now have a completely different uniform in areas with a hot climate. And today, according to the program ... they saw, showed us and shorts were introduced completely for other hot areas. The uniform of the sailors who saw it was also introduced for trips. That is, many forms of clothing have been introduced to date to provide military personnel.

A. VENEDIKTOV - Dmitry Vitalyevich Bulgakov, Deputy Minister of Defense, General of the Army, was on the air of Ekho Moskvy.
