  • Russia's Policy on Strengthening the Navy and the Defense Industry*
    Russia’s Policy on Strengthening the Navy and the Defense Industry* Yoshiaki Sakaguchi** Abstract The Russian government has begun rebuilding the Russian Navy as a part of the military reforms since October 2008. The Russian leadership has set out a clear policy on strengthening the Navy. Furthermore, the “State Weapons Program for 2011-2020,” unveiled at the end of 2010, presents that 23.4% of the total budget will be allocated to the procurement and development of vessels. This program and the budgetary measures for its realization have contributed to the gradual progress in the construction of new naval vessels since 2011. Nevertheless, the problems confronting the Russian defense industry remain unresolved, putting into question the ability of the defense industry to meet the high procurement targets identified in the State Weapons Program. Introduction A large-scale military reform has been under way in Russia since October 2008, with the focus of reform now shifting to modernization of obsolete armament following the near-completion of organizational and structural reform. The replacement and modernization of armament have been undertaken on the basis of the “State Weapons Program for 2011-2020” (hereinafter referred to as the “current State Weapons Program”), formulated in late 2010. The reform to equip the armed forces with a high degree of mobility and professionalism as well as the latest equipment is gradually beginning to take shape. Under these circumstances, the Navy is emerging out of the battered state that ensued after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The building of new naval vessels that had been stagnant for some time and their introduction into the Navy can be seen again.

To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007).

  • Admiral Gorshkov Frigate Reveals Serious Shortcomings in Russia’S Naval Modernization Program
    March 2016 Admiral Gorshkov Frigate Reveals Serious Shortcomings in Russia’s Naval Modernization Program Paul Schwartz Since 2008, as part of its ongoing military reform, Moscow has embarked on a large-scale program of naval expansion intended to recapitalize its ailing shipbuilding industry and rebuild and modernize its fleet. Rebuilding the fleet has received especially high priority in Russia’s 2011–2020 State-Armament Program, with the navy set to receive nearly 5 trillion rubles (about US$70 billion), or fully one-quarter of the total amount to be spent on military modernization of Russia’s entire armed forces through 2020.1 Russia’s fleet development plans were further elaborated in its “Action Plan 2013–2020,” an overall modernization road map released by the Ministry of Defense in 2013. According to this plan, the percentage of modern equipment in Russia’s navy was set to increase from a level of approximately 40 percent in 2013 to over 70 percent by 2020.2 Despite substantial efforts to make good on its naval modernization plans, including significant state spending, what has been delivered thus far to the Russian Navy has fallen well short of expectations. While official Russian rhetoric routinely proclaims that the fleet is undergoing a major renaissance, in reality Russia’s shipbuilding programs have been severely hampered by enduring problems, including budget shortfalls, underinvestment in naval R&D, poor design, obsolescence in its shipbuilding industry, system- integration challenges, reduced access to foreign technology, and widespread corruption, among other problems, all of which have led to long-standing delays in several naval programs and outright cancellation of others.3 The Admiral Gorshkov–Class Frigate A particularly important case in point is the seemingly endless project to build a new blue-water frigate.

  • Passport of St. Petersburg
    Passport of St. Petersburg Saint Petersburg (St. Petersburg) is situated at the easternmost tip of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. The exact geographical coordinates of the city centre are 59°57' North Latitude 30°19' East Longitude. St. Petersburg, located in the node of several major sea, river and land transportation routes, is the European gate of Russia and its strategic centre closest to the border with the European Union. Inland waters constitute about 10% of the city territory. The total area (with administrative subjects) covers 1439 km². The population amounts to 5 225.7 people (as of January 1, 2016 by the data from the federal statistical agency “Petrostat”). St. Petersburg is the second (after Moscow) largest city of the Russian Federation and the third (after Moscow and London) largest city in Europe. St. Petersburg is the administrative centre of the Northwestern Federal Region which is characterized by considerable potential in natural resources, well developed industry, a fine traffic network and furthermore provides contact of the Russian Federation with the outside world via the sea ports of the Baltic Sea and the Arctic Ocean. The city hosts the following institutions: • The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; • Regional offices of federal ministries and departments; • Representations of 24 entities and 2 cities in the Russian Federation; • 65 consular offices of foreign countries; • Offices of international organizations: CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly, Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the Eurasian Economic Community, representatives of international organizations, funds and associations, UN agencies and representative offices and branches of international banks. • Offices of international cultural institutions: the Goethe German Cultural Center, the French Institute, the Finnish Institute, the Dutch Institute, the Danish Cultural Institute, the Israeli Cultural Center and the Italian Cultural Institute.

  • Russian Defense Industry and Arms Trade: Facts and Figures Prepared by the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies
    Russian defense industry and arms trade: facts and figures prepared by the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Contents 1. Russian arms exports 2. Russian defense budget and procurement 3. Key current contracts for Russian arms exports 4. Ranking of the top Russian defense companies More detailed information can be found in the Eksport Vooruzheniy or Moscow Defense Brief journals published by CAST. For subscription, please visit http://cast.ru/eng/. 1. Russian arms exports The key indicators used to quantify Russian arms exports include: • value of deliveries made over the reported year (i.e. the worth of the arms and military equipment already delivered); • revenue (money received under arms contracts); • accumulated value of arms contracts signed during the year; and • accumulated portfolio of contracts by the year's end. The headline figure for arms exports is usually the value of deliveries made. But in any event, a distinction must be made between the four key indicators listed above, as they are sometimes confused by journalists, who unwittingly misinterpret the source figures and draw the wrong conclusions. Starting from 2007, Rosoboronexport, a state-owned company, has been the only Russian entity that holds the full license to export arms and military equipment. Previously, similar licenses were also held by RSK MiG aircraft corporation (Moscow), KBP instrument design bureau (Tula), KBM machine-building design bureau (Kolomna, Moscow region) and NPOmash research and production company (Reutov, Moscow region). Now defense companies (only 22 of them) can export only spare parts and components for weapons systems exported via Rosoboronexport. It is therefore useful to make a distinction between: • total Russian arms exports; • exports via Rosoboronexport (ROE); and • exports of independent spare parts suppliers.

ABSTRACT: The study presents the initial results of research into the competitiveness and prospects for further growth of the industries of Northwest Russia. It also high- lights the opportunities for over-the-border cooperation between Finnish and Russian companies. The structure and main features of seven key sectors of the Northwest Rus- sia were examined. The forestry, base metals, energy, food and ICT sectors were stud- ied using a method of cluster analysis. The study demonstrates that all the necessary elements for the formation of internationally competitive clusters are found in these sectors. The transport and logistics sector to a great extent determines the cost level and even competitiveness of local manufacturers. The construction materials industry bene- fits from natural resources, but it is fragmented
