Russian and Western military-industrial complex faced one common problem

23

After the end of the Cold War, the Western military-industrial complex optimized the need for personnel and re-equipped the necessary industries. Then many specialists found themselves on the street and changed their profile of activity. In 2020, the remaining "grandfathers" who survived the said reduction in personnel in the 90s were sent to a well-deserved retirement in the process of fighting the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. In February 2022, Russia launched an NWO in Ukraine, and the West grabbed their heads.

The products of the "defense industry" of the Western countries and their allies have become extremely popular. Demand jumped tenfold. The United States, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Great Britain and its colonies began to increase spending on military products. Military-industrial complex companies urgently needed tens of thousands of new specialists, moreover, qualified, and not "bring-give". But they still need to be taken somewhere, and this takes time and money.



For example, the French Thales, which manufactures information systems for aerospace, military and maritime applications, plans to hire 2023 workers in 12. In turn, BAE Systems, MBDA, Saab, Gripen and Rheinmetall estimate their needs at several thousand employees each, taking into account automation and robotization.

But it will be difficult to attract qualified personnel, taking into account the existing, albeit small, deficit before that. The thing is that military-industrial complex companies often began to require highly specialized employees. So, Rheinmetall is recruiting virtual reality specialists, and MBDA is recruiting warhead engineers. At the same time, factories are often removed from settlements for security reasons, and not everyone wants to make many hours of daily travel. The level of employment is also affected by the degree of secrecy, and these are bureaucratic and other complexities that not everyone wants to face.

The lack of specialists does not allow manufacturers to increase the production of key components to increase the production of ammunition and various weapons systems. For example, without chips and rocket engines it is difficult to even talk about increasing the supply of anti-tank systems, MANPADS and samples of missile weapons.

At the same time, similar processes are observed in the Russian military-industrial complex. But, despite some differences, in the Russian Federation and in the West they ran into one significant common obstacle: specialists are not born - their appearance on the market is directly related to the preliminary training of people in some educational institutions, and this process must be continuous.

    In February 2022, Russia launched an NWO in Ukraine, and the West grabbed their heads.

    How so? After all, all propaganda is built on the opposite thesis - as if they were always preparing to conquer us, and our NWO is only an answer to the current Chamberlains.

      And for 8 years they pumped up Ukraine with weapons!
      while we believed in their decency, they unscrupulously handed over to Ukraine -
      herds of modern western tanks, in the amount of zero units.
      clouds, just an armada of modern aircraft and strike UAVs in the amount of zero units
      they just flooded the air defense system with patriots - again, zero units ...

        They pumped up so well that the first days there were no options for confronting Russian tanks, except for bottles of Molotov cocktails. It is thanks to the complete unpreparedness of Ukraine to repel the attack that the Russian army managed to reach Kyiv, take Kherson, Chernihiv and a host of other cities. And even now this "pumping up" is going so sluggishly that, God forbid, the Russian army is not defeated. Such, minute, in fact, issues such as the provision of heavy equipment, aviation, long-range missiles have not been resolved so far, after a year of war.

            Javelins are really convenient to ambush columns, well, they are effective in urban areas.
            But attacking them is completely inconvenient.

      - they were going to crush economically, and restore control over the political system, and for this it is necessary to impose sanctions and have a reason for this.
      The provocation was a success - on the day the SVO began, they hugged, not hiding their joy - there are eloquent videos.

        So they were just waiting there, how to redirect Russian resources to China at a discount, with payment in Chinese products ...
        This is precisely what Western sanctions lead to.
        The fact that countries do not crumble under sanctions - the same was evident in the examples of Iran and Venezuela.
        (although the people live much worse than it could be).

      If we compare the industry, then no one in the West sent enterprises, workshops, machine tools (for the sake of a hut in the Canaries) for scrap. That is why, no one there allowed long-term resistance to the Russian Armed Forces.
      According to vile plans, the Russian army had to. with all the carcass, climb into Ukraine and die ingloriously from shooting from around the corner. It was with this that the "falling asleep of ATGMs, MANPADS, without measure" and the means of guerrilla warfare, many times greater than all the military equipment of Russia .. A kind of "Afghanistan-2", but with gigantic losses, and further collapse in civil strife.
      The imposition of hostilities, in the WWII regime, led to the raking out of all strategic reserves (which was not taken into account by Western planners). That's what "grabbing the head" is all about. The war has become prohibitively expensive. It is with this that the transportation of ammunition by aircraft, from all over the world, is connected. No one in the West could have imagined that the Russian Armed Forces would be put on active combat operations with a "short arm of logistics" reducing the theater of the activities of the DRG, as the main combat force on which they staked, the secret services of the West.

    Written deserves attention. Were they preparing to attack us and "optimized" their military-industrial complex ??? winked

    This is true, but the prospects for our military-industrial complex are somewhat worse than those of the Western one ...

      Well, yes, they were preparing that by the time of "Crimea" there were almost no American troops left in Europe, and European ones too. Vigilance, apparently, was lulled.

    That is OK. Now, thank God, the wars are back in order, and it will be even better, and the military-industrial complex of the Western countries will again be saturated with specialists.

    What did the Western military-industrial complex encounter? Everything is fine there. For 150+ billion, only the United States sells for export, and if we summarize Europe. It will come out under 300 billion there.
    In 2023, telling tales that there are no workers and specialists is absolute nonsense, the bottom.
    Now is the age of computer technology, everything is designed and developed on a computer with the appropriate help of programs, this is not the time when masterpieces were created on paper and launched into space.

    Robotic machines allow you to replace dozens of people, they can work 24/7. Once a week, serve and that's it.
    There are technologies and experience of large-scale production in the USA and the EU,
    If they want, they will do it. But as we see the situation, there is no need to do this. After all, some have not even started, and all the equipment can be safely brought to the BD line. That is, the US and the EU do not need twice as much equipment give to Ukraine, since half will be destroyed during transportation.

    The capabilities of the military-industrial complex of only the United States (one of the dozens of countries that help Ukraine) are many times greater than our capabilities. There is money, technology and sensible specialists there.

    The result of an ingenious strategy - to click like nuts and a chicken on a grain - is understandable to an adequate person.

    It turns out according to the article, those authors who wrote then about "NATO is about to attack Russia" lied with impunity.
    For full-fledged silversmiths, for sure.

    In 2020, the remaining "grandfathers" who survived the said reduction in personnel in the 90s were sent to a well-deserved retirement in the process of fighting the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

    Eloquently says why everyone is fussing now...

    Somehow they forget to say that an excellent Korean K2 tank with a 130 mm gun and an excellent FCS was put into production. Indeed, a new generation tank. And the French got Leclerc with a 140 mm cannon. And without a call.

    The more problems the enemy, the countries of the NATO bloc, the less headaches the Russian Federation has. The results of the SVO showed the unpreparedness of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation for war. It makes no sense to consider the problems of the military-industrial complex separately, since they are linked in general to the country's economy.

    Here, not far from the plant, when the military order fell, in the year 17-18, 350 workers, assemblers, etc. were first laid off. The administrative corps remained in full force.
