18

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu checked how the state defense order is being fulfilled at a military-industrial complex (DIC) enterprise in the Omsk region, which produces tanks and heavy flamethrower systems. The head of the enterprise told the army general that it was possible to increase the security of armored vehicles.

Shoigu was also informed that currently at the plant, when producing new T-80BVM tanks, armored vehicles are already equipped on the assembly line with the “Cape” camouflage system and a protective visor. Now armored vehicles are shipped by the company with an additional turret protection module. The next batch of tanks is preparing to be sent to the troops; they are loaded onto railway platforms.



When we started a large program to create additional protection for tanks, we were looking for alloys and technical solutions. Everyone did it. Now we need to increase production rates

- Shoigu set the task.

The management of the enterprise also reported on an increase in the production of TOS-1A Solntsepek heavy flamethrower systems by 2,5 times. This required expanding production capacity, switching to a 1,2-hour work schedule and increasing the number of personnel by XNUMX thousand people.

Following the trip to the plant, Shoigu held a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, representatives of the relevant military control bodies and the management of the enterprise. The minister emphasized that it is fully fulfilling the task of the state defense order, and is also successfully implementing the instructions that were set during the last inspection.

Issues regarding the production and supply of new engines of higher power have been resolved. Production of new heavy flamethrower systems has begun. The tasks of retrofitting tanks with additional armor protection against unmanned aerial vehicles of various levels and an additional protection system for sighting systems were completed

- noted Shoigu.

The Minister of Defense also checked the organization of the educational process at the Omsk Automotive and Armored Engineering Institute.

    I wonder what this means: checked the release of tanks... How is that? Have you talked to management? I checked compliance with the technology....

    Thank God, the Omsk Tank Plant is working at full capacity! So we will live! He studied for five years at the Omsk Higher Tank Engineering School from 1979 to 1984. He had an internship at the plant! In the dashing 90s, the liberals marched like a skating rink through both the school and the factory. But Russia, like a Phoenix bird, was reborn from the ashes! Now ALL village residents, even those who received passports, should be deprived of their passports and thrown out of our house and there will be a happy country!

      Russian passports must be issued after a two-year stay in the Northern Military District.
      There are no physical qualities for the front line, you can be a driver, tractor driver, baker, cook, orderly.....
      If you want a new homeland, prove it with service.
      There you will learn the language and commands in “Russian”.

        Why did Rodina become Pobeda? It’s not Russian to trade your homeland.

          Don't trade, don't sell, but deserve citizenship. Do you catch the difference?

            If they do not serve their homeland, then how will they serve the new one? Or is this part of the plan?

                Therefore, no new citizens. The focus is solely on the growth of one’s own people.

      He made money because his money was in complete decline! So they invest money in the defense industry. Well, if not for the war, perhaps the plant would have been either privatized or bankrupt.

    NEW GTD-1250 engines have begun to be produced! NOT to be confused with the fact that they previously restored the previous modification (GTD-1000) 3-4 times.
    The T-80BVM has a new turret and contents. As for even the buildings - WHILE they are restoring the old ones, after the overhaul there are half of the new ideas. Soon completely new ones will come

    They have families at home and children! They need wages, good wages... Salaries have fallen and they will turn their skis in the other direction.

    A parody of hectic activity. Should the Minister of Defense be visiting workshops and discussing technical issues at the designer level with manufacturers? . It is not the responsibility of the Minister of Defense to know the details, and there is little understanding, - the “tops” for the PR are expressed. That is why the services and institutions in the system, and the control of representatives of the Ministry of Defense, it is the duty of the Minister of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to ask them.. With such advertising, there is only one conclusion: the Minister of Defense is not suitable for the highest echelon of command. .

        You are satisfied with the proxy war of the Russian Federation with many of the main countries of the world, where these Kremlin inmates have led. Well, rejoice at being outcasts in the world and waging a bloody war for the third year, we will soon surpass the timing of the Second World War. Why did it come to this, that’s why I’m worried.

            Something called barking is other manifestations. If you understand this, it means you only have dog reflexes for today’s owner, that’s what it looks like.
