"Russia has a lot to learn": Australian press on army modernization

«Russia has a lot to learn»: Australian press on army modernization
The Russian army is going through a period of increasing combat power due to a special way of modernizing troops. Studying this experience can enrich the development programs of the armed forces of other countries..

Export became the engine of rearmament of the army

This opinion is expressed by the Australian edition of APDR, military-specialized:

The Kremlin stubbornly modernizes its military power and uses it to advance national interests.
As noted, the scenario of the movement of Russian tanks in the depths of Southeast Asia seems unlikely, “Despite a number of extravagant prophecies of politicians about, that Russian soldiers will wash their boots in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean ".

main reason, according to which the countries of the Asia-Pacific region are constantly informed about events in Russia, It is, to ensure the combat capability and proper equipment of the armies of their countries. And this can be achieved, if you learn from Russia when making your own decisions
– writes APDR.

The publication draws attention to the close connection between the re-equipment of the army and the export of defense products.. With military spending in 60-65 billion $ deliveries abroad bring about 15 billion $. First of all, foreign clients are guided by those systems, which are in service with the RF Armed Forces:

They [deliveries to the RF Armed Forces] guarantee, what [acquired by overseas buyers] the product will be serviced for many years, staying modern thanks to renovation, improving, product upgrades and evolution.

In this way, modernization of the army is partly a "commercial PR campaign", which is designed to increase the attractiveness of Russian weapons on the world market. In general, this "duet" gives good results..

What is Washington wrong

Wherein, as suggested by edition, the United States has a misconception about the progress of the renovation of Russian troops. On Capitol Hill it is believed, what a materiel update, for example a tank park, focused on the supply of heavily modernized versions of Soviet weapons. This in Washington is due to the fact, that against the background of sanctions the Russians are forced to arm themselves with cheap systems.

This observation is somewhat misleading. – indicates APDR, citing as an example the state of affairs with MBT.

celebrated, that along with the transfer of T-72B3 and T-80BVM to the troops, purchases of T-90M and T-14 are being made. The newest samples of tanks will complement the old MBT. They will become a kind of "technological inserts" into the battle formations of the older, but still modernized equipment:

In a mixed combat group, the T-14 crew will monitor the observation and reconnaissance of the battlefield, collection and processing of information, as well as control other members of the group, including T-72 / T-80.

The result is a synergistic effect, moreover, due to relatively small investments. This is the positive experience of the modernization of troops - to achieve a significant increase in combat power, getting off with little money.

For our part, we note, that in recent years "non-traditional" materials have begun to appear regularly, dedicated to the Russian army. Just the other day, the British press wrote about the transformation of the RF Armed Forces into a formidable force. Now distant Australia has intercepted the baton, calling to also take advantage of the experience of reforming the troops. Especially, that Canberra is currently undertaking a deep modernization of its own armed forces.
