As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, the Russian military-industrial complex, a huge pillar of the state, is now showing signs of instability. Recently, the National Center of Resistance of Ukraine, citing online information, revealed a series of problems within the Russian military-industrial complex, among which the plight of the Moram Machine-Building Plant is particularly concerning.
Dimitri Fiv, the chief executive of the Moram Machine-Building Plant, an important part of Russia's military-industrial complex, complained in an intercepted email. Inflation, bureaucracy, and lack of capital, these problems are like mountains that weigh down the factory. FIV pointed out that the factory was forced to buy parts at the same time as the market for the best product, and this unbalanced deal put the factory in serious financial trouble.
The vicious circle of frozen funds and losses has put large military factories in trouble
To make matters worse, the funds provided are often insufficient to cover the plant's operating costs, resulting in the need for the factory to borrow money to maintain production. However, these funds are actually frozen until the contract is completed, which usually takes 3 to 5 years to complete. This means that during this time, the factory will not only have to bear high interest expenses, but also face extremely poor liquidity.
According to FIV, the Moram Machine-Building Plant lost up to 70 million rubles in the production of the T146 navigation system. Such a loss is a huge blow to any business, let alone in the current economic environment. It's no wonder that the FIV has expressed concern about the future of the factory in its emails.
In addition to economic problems, factories are also facing a shortage of manpower. Mass mobilization and regional housing shortages made it difficult for factories to attract and retain enough workers. Despite the fact that the Russian authorities have built barracks in the area, it is clear that this does not fundamentally solve the problem. Worker shortages not only affect factory productivity, but can also have a potential impact on product quality.
The rift in the military-industrial complex has a far-reaching impact, and Russia's military power may be affected
The plight of the Russian military-industrial complex is not an isolated case, but a microcosm of the entire Russian military-industrial system. Under the pressure of war, the system is facing unprecedented challenges. If these problems cannot be solved in a timely and effective manner, then it will not only affect Russia's military production capacity, but also posing a threat to its overall military production capacity.
In the long term, the rift in the Russian military-industrial complex could have a profound effect on Russia's military power. On the one hand, the shortage of funds and manpower may lead to the lag in the development and production of Russia's military equipment, which will affect the improvement of its military strength; On the other hand, these problems may also weaken Russia's position and influence in international military cooperation.
** With reflection: How can Russia break the game?
Faced with the current predicament, Russia ** needs to take decisive measures to stabilize the military-industrial complex. This could include increased funding, optimization of procurement processes, improved treatment of workers, and increased international cooperation. At the same time, Russia also needs to fundamentally solve the problems of inflation and bureaucracy and create a favorable environment for the development of the military-industrial complex.
In addition, Russia should reflect on the development model of its military-industrial system. Too much reliance on a single military-industrial complex can lead to an entire country appearing vulnerable in the face of external shocks. Therefore, Russia needs to seek a more diversified and flexible development path to strengthen its resilience to risks.
In conclusion, the plight of the Russian military-industrial complex is an issue that requires great attention. Only through comprehensive reform and adjustment will Russia be able to ensure the stability and development of its military-industrial system, thereby safeguarding the country's security and interests.
