At first glance it may seem that the question is: “ Why does the state need an army?” is obvious and simple - it is the defense of the country in the event of hostilities. In general, it really is like this: main function armed forces Russian Federation advocates the creation of conditions for the security of the state from attacks by aggressors.

In that case, Why is an army needed in peacetime? After all, it needs to be modernized and financially supported? Let's look at these issues in more detail.

Main tasks Russian army during a peaceful situation in the country, they are conventionally divided into 3 components: ensuring the preservation of the military-political interests of the Russian Federation, maintaining Russia’s economic interests and carrying out force operations that are aimed at ensuring peace.

Any of the above subparagraphs implies the implementation large quantity events of various specifics with the participation of military personnel, therefore it is worth considering each direct component in particular.

The concept of compliance with the interests of the Russian Federation includes deterring the threat and manifestations of aggression from a potential enemy.

Such a set of security measures contains a number of measures:

  • an advance procedure for identifying EP factors that threaten an attack on the territory of the Russian Federation or the territory of allied countries;
  • maintaining soldiers, equipment and weapons in readiness that is as close as possible to combat readiness;
  • the state of constant readiness of armed groups for mobilization, capable of resolving local conflicts and stopping mass unrest;
  • the presence of strategic potential, taking into account technical equipment and means or control techniques, in such a state that, under any conditions, with a guarantee, launch missiles to cause damage to a potential enemy;
  • preparations for transferring the country to a military regime with strategic deployment;
  • defense of the territory of the state.

So, the priority is ensuring the combat readiness of subunits and reconnaissance in order to detect potential aggression from other countries.

Regarding the protection of the interests of the Russian Federation from the economic and political side, the functionality of the army is given below:

  • ensuring the safety of civilians of the Russian Federation who live in areas with political instability, in addition, near “hot spots” and areas of clashes with the use of firearms;
  • maintaining conditions of a certain kind under which the Russian Federation can develop economically;
  • guaranteed protection of the interests of the Russian Federation on a national scale in the territory of the World Ocean;
  • carrying out operations using military equipment and personnel armies of the Russian Federation on the territory of regions that are of great importance from an economic point of view (carried out by personal order of the first person) and the like.

Among the above tasks are measures to ensure the safety of civilians and conduct economic activity Russian Federation outside the country.

Finally, carrying out operations using military capabilities in non-military times implies the following parameters of the army:

  • guaranteed fulfillment by Russia of all obligations that are stipulated by international agreements and treaties;
  • suppression organized activities terrorists, extremists and separatists, including the prevention of terrorist acts;
  • the use of nuclear power to deter the aggression of a potential enemy;
  • carrying out operations aimed at supporting peaceful existence within the immediate framework of agreements between the Russian Federation and international organizations;
  • introduction and compliance with the VP on the territory of any kind of subject of the Russian Federation;
  • forceful maintenance of the sanctions regime;
  • carrying out comprehensive measures to prevent environmental and man-made disasters, as well as taking the participation of soldiers and technical equipment in removing the consequences.


Why does the state need an army?, people understand best during hostilities. The functionality of the army largely depends on the size and specific features military conflict in which she will participate. Let's look at the theoretical variations in which military personnel of the Russian Federation will participate in real battles.

A local type of conflict is the most insignificant event. TO this concept any armed action or clash in the country with the use of weapons can be considered. In other words, small aggressive manifestations, not related to military operations. At the same time, troops are required in order to intimidate a potential aggressor and demonstrate power, with the help of which local conflicts can be ended peacefully, or with a minimum number of casualties.

A larger type of conflict is a local war. Here, usually, on the border of two neighboring countries, armed groups are located, which can be reinforced by troops from another region. As a rule, in local wars, with the help of weapons, the political or economic interests of two states are pursued directly.

And yet, under certain developments, local wars can develop into more significant conflicts. We are talking about a regional war, where the number of participants is more than two, but fighting are carried out strictly within a certain region, which includes seas and airspace. When hostilities begin between regions, the potential of the economy, strategy, and weapons are deployed.

Important! States that have nuclear warheads will set their own terms of engagement, threatening to use this type of weapon.

Finally, the most significant conflict is large-scale military action. Any world country can take part here for military purposes using a number of radical measures. In such a situation, the countries participating in the conflict are required to use all available military resources.

Continuing the theme of yesterday's post. Why does Russia need an army?

Let's start with a banal statement of fact. Russia is a rather inconvenient country for the West. Judge for yourself.

We refuse to give away our natural resources to multinational corporations, as countries in Africa and the Middle East do. We have the audacity not only to refuse to participate in military operations against oil-rich countries, but also to condemn US actions in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan.

We claim our rightful piece of the Arctic, rich in natural resources. We do not allow our gas to be stolen and make Europe nervous because of this. We support domestic manufacturers, which is why every year we buy fewer and fewer “Bush legs” and other low-quality goods. We do not allow Western civilized businessmen to steal money from the Russian budget.

We do not host American military bases on our territory. Moreover, we not only prevent the Americans from establishing military bases on the territory of our neighboring states, but we also seriously weaken American influence on the countries that are interesting to us. We do not take loans from the IMF and, accordingly, refuse to implement its “recommendations”. In general, we pursue an independent financial policy and decide for ourselves what the ruble exchange rate will be, what currency we will sell oil for, and how we will store our reserves.

In any case, Russia is not Germany or Japan. In Germany and Japan significant reserves natural resources no, but we have it. And the only way to take these resources from us for free is to weaken Russia to such an extent that it cannot object. Divide it into several parts, force these parts to fight with each other... well, the scenario is known and understandable.

Please note: I'm not paranoid. I'm not saying that America is run by Jews who dream of destroying the Third Rome. We are talking about banal big politics- about the search for resources, about the struggle for markets and about the destruction of competitors. We live in quite cruel world, and songs about “freedom” and “democracy” never make the Anglo-Saxons any less practical.

I'll repeat it again just in case. I do not consider America an enemy of Russia. I believe that America is governed by practical and cynical politicians who are guided in their actions not by sweet humanitarian snot, but solely by the interests of their country.

OK. I hope I have convinced you that strong army Russia is vitally important, and that if we don’t have an army, then we will have nothing. Now let's see what is being done now in this direction.

I’ll start with the numerous defense procurement scandals that we’ve been regularly reading about in the news lately:

What do all these scandals mean? That we have successfully pissed away all the polymers and that Russia is perishing?

Not at all. This means that our tandem is very closely involved in our army and our defense industry. Checks the work of subordinates and fires those who are unable to carry out orders:

Let me remind you that Putin allocated 23 trillion rubles for the defense industry - 20 trillion for development armed forces and another three trillion for the development of the defense industry:

Twenty-three trillion rubles is a very, very large sum, quite comparable to the defense expenditures of the USSR during cold war. Similar amounts for the army in modern history Russia has never been singled out. And it would be extremely strange if this money were allocated without strict control from above over its spending.

Now some facts. Where exactly will these trillions go and what will we end up with?

Now military equipment is updated annually by about 10%. Thanks to this, by 2020 it is planned to increase the share of modern weapons in our army to 70%. Particular emphasis is placed, for obvious reasons, on the Air Force and Air Defense:

More specifically, 600 new aircraft, 1,000 helicopters, 66 S-400 and S-500 divisions will be supplied to the troops:

Currently, according to various sources, Russia has from 15 to 19 submarines left and, it should be noted, it is very great that we managed not to fall in love with them in the nineties. The chance of being left without a nuclear submarine at all was then more than real.

Fortunately, the situation is now beginning to improve: two fourth-generation submarines - Yuri Dolgoruky and Severodvinsk - are already being tested and will soon be included in the fleet.

We also have missiles to equip submarines. Let me remind you that in April and July of this year, the Russian Navy conducted two successful launches of the Sineva intercontinental missile:

The estimated flight range of Sineva is 8,300 kilometers. For comparison, this roughly corresponds to the distance from the Barents Sea to Chicago, Barack Obama's hometown.

However, in practice, Sineva can fly further, 11 thousand kilometers. This is not surprising considering that Sineva is the best ballistic missile in the world in terms of energy and mass perfection:

Tellingly, German experts called our Sineva “a masterpiece of naval rocket science,” and they can be trusted in this matter:

Total until 2020 Russian fleet will receive 100 ships, including eight Borei-class submarines. For reference, submarines of the Borei project can dive half a kilometer and remain autonomous for up to three months:

In terms of its characteristics, "Borey" surpasses its "most likely" rival - the American boats "Virginia".

True, with the “Bulava”, which the Boreys are armed with, things are still moving with varying degrees of success. Successful launches alternate with unsuccessful ones:

However, I don’t see any particular cause for concern here. Let the experts correct me, but in the Soviet years there were no less unsuccessful tests - this is an absolutely normal process in the development of new high-tech weapons. Another question is that in the Soviet years, newspapers, for obvious reasons, did not write much about unsuccessful tests.

Let me remind you that during testing of our coolest rocket, the SS-18 Satan, seven launches ended in failure. This is more than the Bulava:

Exactly the same thing, by the way, is happening in other countries. In the United States, the launch of a Minuteman rocket recently ended in failure. And China has not been able to build an engine for an airplane for twenty years...

Ground-based Topol-M missiles are gradually being supplemented and replaced by the RS-24 Yars. The difference between the new missiles is their multiple warhead, which sharply reduces the chances of the American missile defense system for successful interception:

The explosion of one RS-24 missile is sixty-seven times more powerful than an explosion atomic bomb, which the United States dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Thus, one RS-24 missile can destroy three Los Angeles cities at once.

At all, rocket troops are one of our main priorities. Since 2013, the production of missile systems in Russia will almost double:

Of course, tanks will also be purchased. By 2020, Russian armored forces will consist half of modern T-90s, and half of new model tanks, information about which is still classified:

For reference, the T-90 tank can withstand a thirty-kiloton explosion nuclear bomb at a distance of 700 meters, while the tank can move not only on land, but also under water:

Now let's fast forward from 2020 back to the present. What do we have now?

We have the seventh largest expenditure on weapons in the world; our military budget has grown almost tenfold since 2000:

In 2010, I quote, “27 ballistic missiles, 34 strategic cruise missiles, six spacecraft, 21 aircraft, 37 helicopters, 19 anti-aircraft missile systems, 61 tanks and 325 armored combat vehicles” entered service:

It should be noted that this is not exactly what the president ordered in 2009. As I understand it, fewer planes arrived, more helicopters. However, in general, as Ivanov said, the state defense order in 2010 was completed by 94%:

In general, work is underway, equipment is being purchased. In addition, the salaries of those who work with this equipment are constantly increasing. I quote:

““The salaries of military personnel of certain categories will rise to an average of 65 thousand, and senior officers” - to 150 thousand rubles, Vladimir Putin said... We are talking, first of all, about military personnel and officers who are on combat duty on submarines and nuclear cruisers, in units of the Strategic Missile Forces, those military personnel who serve in units of constant readiness and must quickly respond to any armed challenges within the country or abroad.

“On average, the increase in pay for these groups of military personnel should be up to 65 thousand rubles. And for some categories, meaning senior officers, the increase will be even greater - up to 100-150 thousand rubles or more. We believe this is justified."

Finally, I’ll say a few words about purchasing equipment abroad. Why do we need these purchases?

Firstly, it is a way to control the prices that manufacturers set. If our plant offers shushpanzers at a price of three million dollars apiece, and on the world market similar shushpanzers can be bought for one million, this is a clear reason to ask the plant to think about reducing costs.

Secondly, the purchase of equipment is at the same time the purchase of new technologies. For example, together with the Mistral helicopter carriers, we received from the French the Zenit-9 system we needed and all the accompanying licenses/technologies:

Zenith-9 is the most modern information system NATO on the management of different types of troops. It is needed to ensure interaction between the fleet and aviation and ground forces.

The French did not want to hand it over to us for a long time, but at the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg we finally persuaded them.

Let me sum it up

Our army is currently the second strongest in the world, right after the United States, and by 2020 it will become even stronger. And this gives me not only pride in my country, but also confidence in our future.

  • Why is it necessary nowadays regular army? How is the army changing nowadays?
  • The country always needs a regular army to ensure security and defense capability. Nowadays, the army is going through a difficult stage of recovery after almost complete collapse. Now there is an army reform, a reduction in the number of military personnel, an increase in pay, a period conscript service reduced to 1 year. Defending the Fatherland is the duty and responsibility of a citizen. But in our time it has become unfashionable to defend the Motherland. An honorable duty turned into a heavy duty. Young people are trying to do everything to avoid military service. To turn the situation around, it is necessary to do a lot, to carry out enormous work with young people. We all need to turn the situation around so that military service becomes honorable and prestigious.
    or
    1. Regular means a standing army maintained by states in peacetime in a reduced strength to solve priority tasks at the outbreak of war, as well as to prepare military-trained reserves and carry out the mobilization deployment of mass armies. Provides a combination of the requirements of military development and the economical use of the human and material capabilities of the state. ..
    or
    2. Until recently, a rather interesting situation developed: every state needed a regular army because its neighbors had one. And the absurdity of this situation gradually began to dawn on people. But (lo and behold!) international terrorism appeared, the need arose to “protect human rights” outside the borders of one’s own state, and the regular army was again in demand.
    The army is changing just as the war is changing. Previously, this was a confrontation between large groups of troops between which, as a rule, there was a more or less clear border (front line). Today's weapons make the use of large groups of troops pointless. A situation is hardly possible when one of the large states attacks another, and in this case a completely different force will be used. The war is waged against relatively few but very mobile enemy groups. The Americans (in Vietnam) and we (in Afghanistan) previously lost such a war, but now technologies have been developed that allow equally small and no less mobile groups of troops to successfully resist semi-guerrilla methods of war. Thanks to better technical equipment, support from various branches of the military, better weapons and training, the war is now being won. Numerical superiority is a thing of the past.

And, of course, everyone wants to protect it. Protect what is dear to him.

    3. In voluntary military training of students, its organizers are guided by by-laws, as far as I know.
    Men join the army after graduating from college. However, there are a number of exceptions, according to which this or that person is able to “switch off” from this matter. For example, disability or other characteristics due to which he cannot perform military service.

    4. A contract soldier is the same soldier, only receiving money for his service, but in all other respects he is also subject to general military regulations, orders, is on pay, has insignia, etc. etc. In addition, after the expiration of the contract, he can safely leave, and no one will let him go when he is drafted. Well, let's be optimistic - when called upon, a person serves, let's say, at the call of his heart, out of love for the Motherland.
    5. Military service is a type of federal public service in the Russian Federation, which is the professional service activity of citizens in military positions in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops, military (special) formations and bodies performing functions to ensure the defense and security of the state. Such citizens are assigned military ranks.
    6. The serviceman is obliged:
    - to be faithful to the Military Oath, to defend the Russian Federation, to fulfill military duty;
    - strictly observe the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation, fulfill the requirements of military regulations;
    - constantly master the military professional knowledge;
    - know and maintain in constant readiness for use the weapons entrusted to him and military equipment, protect military property;
    - be honest, disciplined;
    - unquestioningly obey commanders (superiors) and protect them in battle;
    - rescue comrades from danger;
    - observe the rules of military politeness, behavior and performance of military greetings, always be in uniform, clean and neatly dressed;
    - be vigilant, strictly maintain military and state secrets.

  • We are entering a century in which education, knowledge, and professional skills will play a decisive role in a person’s destiny. Without knowledge, by the way, which is becoming more and more complex, it will simply be impossible to work and be useful. .. A person will introduce new ideas, think about things that a machine cannot think about. And for this, the general intelligence of man will be increasingly needed, his ability to create new things and, of course, moral responsibility, which a machine cannot bear... the heaviest and Herculean task It’s not easy to be a person, but a person of science, a person morally responsible for everything that happens in the age of machines and robots. General education can create a man of the future, a creative man, a creator of everything new and morally responsible for everything that will be created.

    Teaching is what a young man now needs from a very young age. You always need to learn. Until the end of their lives, all the major scientists not only taught, but also studied. If you stop learning, you won’t be able to teach. For knowledge is growing and becoming more complex. We must remember that the most favorable time for learning is youth. It is in youth, in childhood, in adolescence, in adolescence, that the human mind is most receptive.

    Know not to waste time on trifles, on “rest”, which sometimes tires more than the hardest work, do not fill your bright mind with muddy streams of stupid and aimless “information”. Take care of yourself for learning, for acquiring knowledge and skills that only in your youth you will master easily and quickly.

    And here I hear a heavy sigh young man: What a boring life you offer our youth! Just study. Where is the rest and entertainment? Why should we not rejoice?

    No, no. Acquiring skills and knowledge is the same sport. Teaching is hard when we don’t know how to find joy in it. We must love to study and choose smart forms of recreation and entertainment that can also teach us something and develop in us some abilities that we will need in life.
    Learn to love learning!

  • The kitchen, which takes up a woman’s time, gives a lot to the family as a whole. A homemade dinner, arranged on Sunday, brings the whole family together at the table, all sorts of goodies are on the plates, the children are dressed up, and mom and dad are happy. Table talk will not replace any other conversations. At the table, we not only teach children how to hold a fork and knife, but also how to behave in general. The ritual of Sunday lunch grows into a serious pedagogical action and an occasion for family consolidation. ..

    We are all professionals now. Intellectuals. According to the laws of some strange irony, the orderliness of our life is sometimes placed almost in inverse dependence on the height of intelligence. Now many people know what cybernetics, synchrophasotron, and supersonic speeds are. But the fact that milk soup does not need to be cooked under a tightly closed lid, how to make pies, bake pancakes, is often known to those who are poorly versed in cybernetics. Surely such a tilt towards intelligence and professionalization is justified by the requirements of the moment and lies, as they say, in the mainstream of the century. .. An aversion to domestic work, that’s for sure, can poison one’s life if a person does not tolerate this work and cannot get rid of it. Therefore, I dare to express the idea that grief and difficulties in our everyday bustle arise not only for objective, but also for subjective reasons, as well as because of many ambiguities, doubts and even theoretical misunderstandings about how and from what side to look at everyday life

    Much in our bustle at home is gradually being replaced by public services, but much remains - for a variety of reasons. Obviously, this will happen as long as the family lives. Let’s not repeat it again: everyday life is, you know, terrible! It's so addicting! It sucks in a poorly organized and poorly thought-out way of life, where there is not even a hint of mutual assistance and cooperation between the efforts of adults and younger family members, where a woman is turned into a servant. In addition, the incompetent and profligate of both sexes are in greater domestic slavery than the efficient smart people whose hands are good for anything.

    3) That we must support old traditions (albeit to a lesser extent since they have changed a little), include something new in life, but in no case treat household work as something terrible

    • They damaged the asphalt, went broke on an unnecessary display... Why do we need an army at all? Who's going to attack? Such judgments were made recently, after the parade in honor of Independence Day. There weren't many of them. Most of our fellow countrymen, watching with their own eyes or on TV the march of foot columns, the passage of military equipment and the flight of aviation, understood why we were spending money on the parade, equipment and the army as a whole. But not everyone understands. Now, when the upcoming conscription is being discussed, skeptical voices are heard again.

    To the question “Why do we need an army?” need to answer. Let's divide the answer into two: why does the country and each of us personally need an army - in life, work, in everyday life.

    In the mid-80s, a dozen of us reserve officers were called up for two months of training. We received lieutenant ranks at military department BPI, some served, some did not. The training took place in Kharkov, where tank officers from different regions of the Union were gathered: Ukrainians, Moldovans, guys from Moscow... After a week, the Belarusians could not be found in the barracks in the evening. A military university is filled with classrooms filled with electronics and mechanics, tanks disassembled into components and assemblies... Each of ours repaired, restored, reconfigured something. Everyone was busy! Although we were not forced to do this and were not promised benefits for this. At the end, the commander of the training camp, Colonel Odnorukov, in front of in general order expressed gratitude to us, Belarusians, and said that this happens from year to year.

    It's a matter of reputation. It is needed today even more than in those years. If we, an independent country, want to survive in a fiercely competitive environment, then established opinions will work for us. Belarusians look for work themselves and do everything they undertake well: build, repair, operate weapons and complex military equipment. Today the army is just one of the facets of life. You can trust us in everything.

    This is a matter of status: our country should be respected. The strong are respected, and strength is not determined only by the size of the territory and population. And not even the literal power, the combat effectiveness of the troops. Not only this. A country is people, citizens. Strong people – strong country. The weak, whether in business or in geopolitics, are eaten without regret. With or without protocol smiles. The decisive and tough will beware. The army teaches a man - a future director, manager, businessman or minister - to resist and insist.

    If you are a manager, be able to encourage your team to complete an official task accurately, on time. If you are a subordinate, submit for the sake of common success. If it’s difficult, painful, almost unbearable, grit your teeth and endure! Follow the order, do your job, which is part of the whole. Together we will win. Nobody teaches this faster than the army.

    It's a matter of tradition. The army generally stands on traditions. And there are more of them on our land than in other places. This is not only Operation Bagration and other glorious victories: there was something before them. Georgy Zhukov, the military leader who would be called Marshal of Victory, served as deputy commander of the Belarusian Military District for cavalry in the 1930s. And earlier, in the 20s, he conducted pre-conscription military training at the Belarusian State University.

    Perhaps not everyone knows that the recently published “White Paper on China's National Defense in a New Era” spells out plans for military cooperation with Russia; that just the other day, strategic bombers of the two countries jointly patrolled over the ocean in the Asia-Pacific region for the first time; that a well-known authority, the former head of the Israeli intelligence service Nativ, Yakov Kedmi, already considers the United States to be catching up in military competition with Russia and China. But everyone saw the strategic bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces in our common parade formation. This is not a hint - a statement. Our army is on an equal footing - in terms of equipment, training, combat readiness - with the best armies peace. We are peaceful people, we do not intend to attack and we do not expect attacks. But after the First World War, humanity also considered the war to be the last...

    The second part of the answer is easier. In life and everyday life, a man needs the same qualities that a country needs in geopolitics: determination, strength, the ability to overcome. These are qualities that brides value in grooms, and that fathers and mothers cultivate in their sons. All this is an army. What about in other countries? Everyone knows about Israel: girls serve there on an equal basis with boys, both consider it a matter of honor. And Muscovite friends said the other day that there is a new fad among my student son. “Mowing down” is not yet a shame, but it is no longer valor. Everyone suddenly wanted to serve. Otherwise, a successful career will not shine.

    The famous video of the group Status Quo “In The Army Now” is, of course, clearer than my words. I may not have convinced everyone. But it took even longer to convince his student son, almost a year. Now he's quietly waiting autumn conscription. He will be at the military registration and enlistment office on October 25th.

    entrepreneurship is an activity in the production of goods or services for the purpose of making a profit, it is divided into 4 types: services (for example, hairdresser), production activity(for example, the production of something), financial (for example, a bank, not state-owned, that issues loans for the purpose of making a profit), commercial (purchase and sale transactions).

    The country always needs a regular army to ensure security and defense capability. Nowadays, the army is going through a difficult stage of recovery after almost complete collapse. Now there is an army reform, a reduction in the number of military personnel, an increase in pay, the service life has been reduced to 1 year. Defending the fatherland is the duty and responsibility of a citizen. but in our time it has become unfashionable to defend the homeland. an honorable duty turned into a heavy duty. young people are trying to do everything to avoid military service. In order to turn the situation around, it is necessary to do a lot, to carry out enormous work with young people. we all need to turn the situation around so that service in the army becomes honorable and prestigious. or 1. regular means a standing army maintained by states in peacetime in a reduced composition to resolve priorities at the outbreak of war, as well as to prepare military-trained reserves, and carry out the mobilization deployment of mass armies. provides a combination of the requirements of military development and the economical use of the human and material capabilities of the state... or 2. until recently, a rather interesting situation arose: every state needed a regular army because its neighbors had one. and the absurdity of this situation gradually began to dawn on people. but (lo and behold!) international terrorism appeared, the need arose to “protect human rights” outside the borders of one’s own state, and the regular army was again in demand. the army is changing just as the war is changing. Previously, this was a confrontation between large groups of troops between which, as a rule, there was a more or less clear border (front line). Today's weapons make the use of large groups of troops pointless. A situation is hardly possible when one of the large states attacks another, and in this case a completely different force will be used. the war is waged with relatively few but mobile enemy groups. The Americans (in Vietnam) and we (in Afghanistan) previously lost such a war, but now technologies have been developed that allow equally small and no less mobile groups of troops to successfully resist semi-guerrilla warfare. Thanks to better technical equipment, support from various branches of the military, better weapons and training, the war is now being won. numerical superiority is a thing of the past.
