High-profile scandals and mass dismissals in the Russian defense industry are becoming familiar details of the political landscape. The bill for the "retired" goes to dozens, and from behind the Kremlin wall they signal: the punishment for disrupting the state defense order is inevitable. The only problem is that most of the problems in the industry are systemic and lie outside the competence of managers, no matter who is appointed to this post, writes the Company magazine".

Russian defense workers, whether they were heads of large corporations or general designers, have been irreplaceable and "untouchable" for many years, and some even decades. Not least because in perestroika times, design schools collapsed, there were fewer and fewer specialists, and the value of each of them grew. In addition, many managed to participate in the privatization of assets and issue patents in time, which strengthened their power at individual enterprises.

And here are three expensive satellites that were supposed to make a qualitative difference in the GLONASS grouping! When will we restore them?.. The fact is that the space race is going on every day, we will lose at least six months, this is a serious mistake. And when Perminov himself said: it's okay, it's not a tragedy... I have a different opinion. It's not a tragedy, but it's definitely a drama for our space industry.&Alexander Sharavin, director of the Institute of Political and Military Analysis, is convinced.
