MOSCOW - For years, Russia has faced international sanctions that have limited its ability to build or acquire state-of-the-art military capabilities. Now President Vladimir Putin and the country's military leadership are trying a new tactic to get and develop the weapons they need: they are asking for help from small Russian businesses.
"The country's defense complex has great potential, which allows solving tasks of the most diverse scale. But it is really difficult to master the production of civilian products in the military-industrial complex. He has no experience in the difficult situation of market. Business must save," said the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Siarhei Katyrin, after the results of the "Army-2021" arms exhibition last month.
Last week, several Russian private companies, many of which already do defense work, took part in the annual military forum, which took place on August 22-28. Small businesses operating in various fields, from information technology to optics, are trying to attract the attention of Russia's biggest contractors.

At first glance, "Army-2021" is a demonstration of Russia's traditional military power. But behind the scenes, representatives of the military and civil industries and experts discuss two important problems facing local business: import substitution and diversification of production.
United Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary of the state corporation Rostec, is no stranger to import substitution. After several Western companies refused to supply composite materials for the MS-21 liner, the UAC turned to domestic suppliers, including private ones.
Speaking to Defense News, a representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade described the effort to replace foreign-made materials as a "surge" for Russian industry. For example, Russia has successfully replaced Ukrainian engines for ships and helicopters with home-made ones.
However, in the field of microelectronics, the situation is more complicated. Many Russian manufacturers do not have the opportunity to produce their own microelectronics, instead they return to Asian countries.

Stimulating domestic development of microelectronics and related components will require public investment of 798 billion rubles ($11 billion) by 2024, according to Russia's arms export agency Rosoboronexport.
The presence of such foreign-made components in Russian-made devices creates an obstacle for domestic companies looking for military communications. One of them is Siltech, a maker of devices that scan product labels and track data.
The company is in "Army-2021", and its manager, Grigor Britvin, said that it cannot finish a case with the Ministry of Defense because its products depend on foreign-made materials. But he said he has no regrets about the company's approach, citing red tape as a problem.
However, he added, "we are a commercial company, and the speed [of acquisition] is a survival thing for us."

But Uladzimir Kuznetsov, head of the company in St. Petersburg KUBO, which produces electric motors and servo drives for robotics and mechatronics, says that military procurement officials are beginning to change their approach.
"They understand that without modern solutions and modern technology, there is no modern army," he said, stressing that the solution is private enterprise.
Meanwhile, the Russian defense industry is facing a reduction in military spending, which means a reduction in government arms purchases.

The country spends 2.7 percent of gross domestic product on defense, but that will fall to 2.6 percent in 2022 and again to 2.5 percent in 2023, according to government data.
In 2017, Putin ordered the country's military-industrial complex to direct 30% of its business to the production of civilian products by 2030 and 50% by 2050.
The move is seen as part of efforts to boost domestic production amid Western sanctions. It includes the Russian Advanced Research Fund, the place for the most ambitious military projects.
How COVID-19 and sanctions have damaged Russia's defense business - and how the country can recover. The task of transforming a defense industry "sharpened to ensure defense and security" is difficult, but the Russian president is determined to implement the evolution.

Officially established in 2013, the fund is basically the Russian equivalent of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He supported several civilian projects, including the development of the Rubin Design Bureau's Vityaz-D underwater drone, which was successfully tested in the Mariana Trench. (There is one unit at the moment.)
Some defense enterprises showed small tractors and scooters in "Army-2021", others - more high-tech products. Almaz-Antey, the manufacturer of the S-400 air defense system, presented an unmanned ground vehicle that can be used for civilian and military purposes. The product is completely made in Russia, the company announced during the presentation.
Anton Drazdov, a senior manager at Promsuvyazbank, a bank that helps defense companies implement diversification projects, told the Kommersant daily in July that about 70 percent of local defense companies "have low or very low level of civilian production."
