Russian secret technologies at stake
A number of informational resources reported an attack in the Moscow region on the house of Boris Obnosov, the general director of Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation (KTRV). Three masked unknowns, according to unnamed sources of Interfax and RIANews”, Broke into Obnosov’s house and, threatening with weapons, stole valuables and money. Of course, robberies and robberies are a big problem, indicating a high crime rate in the country. But that's not the point.
65-year-old Boris Obnosov is not just a wealthy person and the head of the company. He is a well-known scientist, doctor of technical sciences and an aircraft specialist, a member of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences and the Tsiolkovsky Russian Academy of Cosmonautics, general designer of aviation weapons. Since 2003, for fifteen years, he heads the KTRV. That is, Boris Obnosov is the bearer of the most important state secrets, moreover, associated with rocket science, with the development of the latest hypersonic weapons, for which he is personally responsible.
As it turned out that a man of this level was defenseless against unknown robbers? Yes, against the backdrop of a complex global political situations and problems that Russia faces in its relations with the West. It would seem that Boris Obnosov should have been guarded very carefully and efficiently. But in the house of the designer, except for him and his wife, there was only a housekeeper who performed household duties. There was no protection.
It is interesting that many entrepreneurs and officials who are in no way connected with state secrets, especially in such a significant area as hypersonic weapons, have personal guard, and a large number. But Obnosov’s house was not completely guarded, except for the alarm button, and three thugs entered it without any problems.
Banal robbery is the best version that one could imagine, but if foreign intelligence services stood behind the attack on the general designer? If he was killed or stolen by unknowns? A person who owns all the secrets of creating the latest types of Russian weapons, just can not help but protect. It turns out that Russia did not take into account the sad experience of neighboring Iran. As you know, in the recent history of Iran, several leading nuclear physicists were destroyed. Special services went to sabotage groups, accusing them of having ties with Israel. But most likely, the United States stood behind the saboteurs. It is likely that the United States can implement the same scenario in Russia.
Now that the geopolitical confrontation with the West has reached its climax, the state simply does not have the right to leave Russian scientists of this level without protection. Measures should be taken to protect them, if necessary - appropriate changes have been made to the legislation or to the instructions of the special services and law enforcement agencies. There is a FSO, there is the same Rosguard, which could take on the personal protection of scientists and managers and ensure the safety of their apartments and houses.
Of course, you won’t be safe from everything in the world, but at least then it will be clear that the state at least tried to organize the protection of prominent scientists. I would like the state to draw appropriate conclusions from the Obnosov incident and begin to organize a normal system for protecting people of this level.
