tell us more about the forum and why is it so popular among young people today? well, this forum is one of the largest events of 2024, which unites around 100 countries within its organization, probably even more than 100 countries, the forum program is as rich as possible, this is a unique opportunity for young people to be able to accumulate any ideas between themselves in the future to implement them not only on the territory of their own... but also in those countries with young people whom they will meet directly at this festival. before there are only a few hours left for the opening of the forum, who will represent belarus? and the belarusian delegation is one of the largest, more than 600 people, on wednesday literally went on a two-day trip to the city of sochi, also a unique unique opportunity to get to know each other as closely as possible and, let’s say, to prepare in more detail any projects for presentation.

festival itself, the delegation includes representatives of student youth, and representatives of working youth, the council of young scientists under the minister of education, ambassadors of the sustainable development goal , youth ambassadors, and also, naturally, one of the largest parts of our delegation are representatives of the belarusian republican youth union, all of these are representatives of our huge country, they came from all corners, literally 50-60 people from...

the forum is being held not the first time, the uniqueness of this forum lies in the fact that not the entire forum program is concentrated in the city of sochi itself, that is, the guys in the directions will scatter to other locations of the russian federation for a few days federation, that is, it will also allow them to get acquainted with the geography of this country. i think that the importance of this festival is manifested in the fact that, without any framework, without any, as they say, loud slogans, the guys can really actively take part. life not only of their country, but

also of other friendly countries, the guys can actively promote their ideas, and the most important thing is that these ideas will not only remain on paper, but they will also be implemented within the framework of not only this forum, again, but in further. thank you, anton sorokin, deputy head of the republican youth center, answered the program’s questions. results and analysis of the main events this week in the information and analytical program of the television news agency main broadcast. all projects of our tv channel are available. on the website www.belarus24.by, as well as on social networks. i say goodbye to you, all the best. i want to grow up and become. create helicopters

for the present, build all sorts of missiles, all sorts of combat vehicles, all sorts of military equipment, when i grow up, i want to do this, i want this to do so that then all sorts of... military men would sit on them and fight and fight against their opponents. it is no coincidence that these children assemble helicopters, tanks and combat vehicles from construction sets. they all follow the example of their parents, who work in the state military-industrial committee. therefore, these guys absorbed the craving for military equipment, as they say with their mother’s milk. no matter how strange it may sound, but the creation of real military men. the models are indeed somewhat similar to a

construction set. you have hundreds of parts and thousands of options for connecting them together. yourself, but at the same time there is only one true one, choose it. on it, in order to translate the idea into reality to create a unique model of weapons, a task that has been facing belarusian gunsmiths for many years, 20 of which they have been working under the gvpk brand. the mid-nineties, the once powerful army of the soviet union is divided, the combat potential is based on weapons that entered the army back in the seventies and eighties.

the army of that time was similar to the hero grozny, but not agile. similar the situation is developing at enterprises of the military-industrial complex. many factories in the defense sector remain without government orders from moscow, and as a result, without a means of subsistence. it was not easy to reorient to other markets, especially since there was no specialized team for finding new partners, and for collaborating with old ones. after the collapse of the soviet union, there was some confusion, a number of organizations of the then non-existent defense industry.

on the combat potential of the army, despite the fact that the armed forces of independent belarus inherited a large amount of military equipment, it was almost impossible to use it if necessary, because a huge part of the combat vehicles and tanks looked more like a pile of scrap metal, something had to be done with a huge amount of such military equipment, a way out difficult situation, it seemed the creation of a single structure that was supposed to restore order at enterprises

on december 30, 2003, the president of the republic of belarus alexander lukashenko signed a decree number 599 on the creation of the state military-industrial committee of the republic of belarus. from that day on, many belarusian gunsmiths entered into a structure with a planned systemic organization of labor, determined solely in the interests of the country’s national security. they now have tasks, functions, powers, and most importantly

, this means, of course, it is much more productive, much more effective for the state. with the creation of the state military-industrial committee, the activities of organizations included in its system were stabilized and began to be coordinated. enterprises involved in the creation of military products were under centralized all-union control. the forces of a new committee began to form.

as for the old military equipment, with the advent of the gvp they began to deal with it, some were written off, some were repaired, but even then the main focus was on the modernization of weapons, too. industry enterprises have formed plans for the long-term development of repair and modernization of efficient soviet weapons. modernization is no less labor-intensive process than creating any sample; a product that we would like to see in high quality will only be available when the customer and performer are 100% interested in it on both sides, that is , this is the team, if you want to say, which makes this one... and over time, the focus on

modernization began to bear fruit. here is just one striking example: already in march 2005, the mig-29 aircraft was successfully modernized at the 558th aircraft repair plant and receives the prefix bm. after this pumping , 15 officially registered world records were set on it. by the way , belarusian modernization. aircraft such as mik-29 and su-27 increases the combat potential of these combat winged vehicles by more than three times. but the plans included not only the resuscitation of the old, but the creation of completely new types of weapons. one of the first signs was the deeply modernized rszzo grad. at the beginning of the 2000s , its new version belgrade, the legendary

installation on the mazovsky chassis, and by the end of 2006, in the total volume of industrial production, the development, creation and repair of weapons, military and special equipment in the interests of domestic law enforcement agencies will amount to almost 70%. our main task is. uh, based on their needs, based on their priorities, we prepare an appropriate

proposal and, therefore, prepare software projects: what we can do is no worse than foreign manufacturers of military equipment, domestic gunsmiths have no longer proven once again, here it is worth at least recalling the belarusian polones multiple launch rocket system. for the first time, the complex was successfully tested in 2016, the system hit with high accuracy. all designated targets are 200 km away. polones has already confirmed his effectiveness more than once during military exercises. today this is a domestic development, which is in service with the belarusian army, and is rightfully considered the pride of our military industry. and one of the best products of this class in the world arms production, so the notes of our polonaise are already known for border. the state-industrial committee began this work with development, that is

, all design documentation was developed precisely by the enterprise of the state military-industrial committee, ranging from small units to large units, the chassis of the domestic minsk wheeled tractor plant, launch containers, the precision electromechanics production plant, therefore a large cooperation between enterprises of the state military-industrial committee, starting from development, that is, all designers worked together, harmoniously on this... development, it was not such that one enterprise would do one part, the second enterprise would do the second part. the process of creating the polonaise assembly clearly demonstrates the essence of the work of the state military-industrial committee. after the president ordered to create a rszz with unique characteristics, the gunsmiths got down to business. the employees of the central apparatus acted, so to speak, as producers. they found suitable designers for them at the enterprises and brought them together. team the gvpk was also responsible for logistics and control of the assembly process; according to the same principle

, other types of weapons are being developed and created in belarus, from small arms drones to shells and combat vehicles. we can actually complete the task in one closed cycle, we can first define what is needed, or rather, they can give us a task, we formalize it. we will develop and we will produce, this is one of the most positive results, this is the uniqueness of our system, which we now, by and large and we will implement it.

as uavs became mainstream, this technology was also developed by a defense sector company from vitebsk. samples of attack drones are being produced on display, these are tests of combat drones, the quadra 1400 loitering tube. in 2021, these attack unmanned aerial systems are successful.

but not only to intercept an enemy drone, but also to detect its operator; the developments of the kbr rada can easily cope with this task. the design bureau today is a leader in the production of equipment designed to combat drones, a whole complex has been developed, including mobile guns, stationary installations and even a station on wheels. already at the stage of preliminary

tests, state tests, here we are very scrupulously carrying out this work together. so as to take into account all those nuances, experience, including other military conflicts, the experience of our armed forces, our partners, including from the russian federation, so as to bring this product to fruition. goskomprom sets itself the task, probably more than 90%, to create one type or another weapons independently, without attracting budget funding, and so that this product is needed as...

being part of the structure of the state military industry committee allows you to produce weapons and special equipment not only for the needs of the armed forces of belarus, but for export, here it is worth remembering 2018, then the export of military products created by the domestic defense industry has reached its historical maximum and exceeded a billion dollars, golden times for the defense sector of the country, well , golden times when the republic of belarus as an arms exporter...

no matter what field or field of activity you are in, if such cooperation is mutually beneficial to the partners, then it is destined for success. today, the volume of industrial production over the entire history of the state military industry committee is close to $7 billion. exports of military products manufactured by belarusian gunsmiths exceeded $11 billion. total investments in fixed assets. enterprises in the industry amounted to about $900 million, and this case is still developing today. investments are very important, and every year we invest from 30 to 50 million dollars directly into the development of our industrial base, into the creation of very serious parts and

assemblies, which will then be components of one or another type of weapon. a good illustration of how the economic and advertising component of the country’s defense sector works is the milix international exhibition, for example, where about thirty foreign economic agreements in the field of weapons and military-technical property were signed in 2019, and this is about 200 million dollars. the figure was approximately the same at the last milix exhibition. there is no need to get hung up on the number itself, because it is painstaking work. in order to sign any contract at the exhibition, before the signing itself it is necessary...

the enterprises of the state military industry committee have already proven themselves so well that they are from the best side for the state, but the whole world is already paying attention to them in what form, in the form there are already sanctions on individual enterprises, and i don’t know how many.

states, but we are not on this successfully operated in a military organization , we stop, every enterprise, if you like, having such a task, must carry out experimental castrut work, and... last year , 13 new types of weapons of military and special equipment were accepted into the belarusian army, this is the maximum for years existence of the domestic arms industry. in general, 2023 has become

significant in many ways for the country’s defense sector. in may, by order of the minister of defense , the t-72 bm2 tank, modernized at the 140th repair plant, was put into service. but the real takeoff. we are starting joint development, development will be carried out at enterprises of the state military-industrial committee and enterprises of the russian federation, after which the organization

of production has already begun, the purchase of the necessary equipment is underway, the construction of appropriate workshops is underway, so the full cycle of aircraft manufacturing will be organized in the republic of belarus. and in 2023 , the final firing of the new sapphire grenade launcher, which has unique... characteristics, was successfully completed. this is another new direction for our gunsmiths. the end of the year was marked by successful final tests of domestic 122-mm rockets. the launch of such production was ordered by the president. but, perhaps, one of the most striking events was the transfer to the armed forces of the new polonez-m divisional complex, which is capable of using different types of missiles with different warheads. accurately hit targets at ranges of up to 300 km. polonesm is truly the pride of the republic of belarus. it should be noted about

the fact that we are very ... just very quickly mastered the production of a fairly wide range of various ammunition, what i was talking about is rockets, now we are completing work on mastering the production of artillery ammunition, creating our own weapons and modernizing them on our own , this is the president’s thesis... fundamental for the industry, we are talking not only about heavy equipment, small arms, sights, counter-radio intelligence devices, drones, communications equipment, this is just a small the share of what the state military industry enterprise produces today is more than a thousand units in total, the lion's share of this number are walkie-talkies and radio stations. today we can proudly declare that our military-industrial complex

has mastered production. all types of communications, from classic shortwave radio stations to the most serious satellite communication systems, we have been able to maintain all this at a high level of readiness. in the future , gunsmiths will have to play an important role in addressing issues of import substitution and achievement of technological sovereignty, there is a large layer of work ahead to increase the production of small arms ammunition .

for gunsmiths , the continuity of generations is not just words, the work of veterans is remembered and honored here, and this is not surprising, because those who are working here now will also be replaced by a new generation, maybe even one of these kids who assemble tanks and helicopters from the designer, this is the law of samsara, circle. polish people are people who live in harmony with nature.
