I. KOROTCHENKO: Good afternoon! I am glad to welcome everyone who is now listening to the General Staff program on the Russian News Service, in Igor Korotchenko's studio. I present our guest - next to me is Lieutenant General Yuri Mikhailovich Stavitsky, Chief of Engineering Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Yuri Mikhailovich, good afternoon.

Y. STAVITSKY: Hello.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Of course, the first question, tell us what the engineering troops are today, what stage are they at, and the general characteristics of the troops?

YU. STAVITSKY: Engineering troops are a special type of troops, which is a type of combat support. And we are very mature today - we are more than 300 years old, next year we will celebrate the 315th anniversary of the birth of the engineering troops by Peter I. Today the engineering troops are a technological branch of the military, science-intensive. We perform various tasks such as setting up barriers, clearing the area, equipping crossings, equipping roads, maintaining them, fortification equipment, field water supply, power supply ... and many other general engineering tasks.

If we talk about the current state of the engineering troops, then, probably, the new birth of our troops began two years ago in full measure. We can say with confidence that a whole line of new engineering equipment has been created, which, in terms of its quality indicators, in terms of technical indicators, is in no way inferior to foreign counterparts, and some even surpasses them. A serious breakthrough topic is water barriers, crossing, ensuring crossings, and today we have entered completely new models of our new pontoon parks, we are seriously engaged in engineering ammunition. And, of course, one of the main factors is the means of protection and search for explosive objects. We recently held an international conference and were seriously interested in these very issues.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Structurally and organizationally, what do the engineering troops look like?

YU. STAVITSKY: This is the directorate of the chief of engineering troops, we lock ourselves in General Staff... In the military district, this is a directorate with the corresponding composition of troops - these are engineering brigades, in the army - engineering regiments, in the tactical echelon - battalions of a company. Engineering troops are represented in all types and branches of the military, including the strategic missile forces, navy - today we have two engineering regiments in the Black and Baltic Seas, the Air Defense Forces and the Space Forces.

I. KOROTCHENKO: What tasks for the development of military infrastructure and other issues did you solve on the territory of Crimea?

Y. STAVITSKY: Today we are still solving these problems.

I. KOROTCHENKO: I am talking about this, of course.

Y. STAVITSKY: Our most important task is to clear the territory for the construction of a new Kerch bridge. An international mine action center participates there.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Explain.

Y. STAVITSKY: Cleaning explosive objects.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Work on the bottom first of all?

Y. STAVITSKY: Both along the bottom and on land. We have 18 kilometers of land on one side and on the other, this section is more than 600 meters wide, and the entire underwater part. This is a serious topic for us, especially since a detachment from the International Mine Action Center, which was created literally last year by the decision of the Minister of Defense, is participating in it, and this is the first test for them.

I. KOROTCHENKO: You mentioned new samples of engineering equipment - can you give a more detailed description of what it is in each segment?

Y. STAVITSKY: We are seriously engaged in the topic of ensuring crossings, all topics related to the engineering troops, we understand that we have also broken away in the means of forcing water obstacles and overcoming them. We are seriously working on the equipment for fortification of positions, areas of troops, on the protection of the sapper and means of search, in robotics we have broken through over the past two years - from the standing position we have taken a leading position in the Armed Forces, and on many other models, which are quite serious our tasks. Electrical equipment, means of water extraction and purification, where we also believe that we are engaged in a serious cell, we know that European countries are even interested in our technology. According to other indicators, today our designers, our factories, have probably made a revolution in the last two years.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Who are your counterparties in the industry? Uralvagonzavod, perhaps?

Y. STAVITSKY: Uralvagonzavod, Okskaya Shipyard.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Does Okskaya Shipyard make pontoon ferry facilities?

Y. STAVITSKY: Yes. Kursk "Electroagregat", Krasnodar "Polymerfilter". We have a wide network, a large range of products.

I. KOROTCHENKO: This immediately raises the question of import substitution.

Y. STAVITSKY: We have solved it completely.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Is there any dependence on foreign components and suppliers?

Y. STAVITSKY: No. We initially took this position, even before everything happened. We tried to minimize this issue, and if we have something somewhere left, then today it is being worked out and replaced completely. We had moments when the engine on the excavator installation was German - today we are changing it to another engine that is in no way inferior in its characteristics. We have already solved this problem in robots, and we are already starting to conduct state tests entirely on our robots, on all our equipment.

I. KOROTCHENKO: You mentioned the International Mine Action Center - do you expect to participate in international projects?

Y. STAVITSKY: Definitely, we created it for this. And we want to delay the training of sappers for other states, and today many are expressing their interest: this is Venezuela, and Cuba, and Iran, and Egypt. We already have a growing list. I think next year we will have a busy one.

I. KOROTCHENKO: The engineering troops will be 315 years old, a decent period, but this shows that the troops were in demand in the wars of previous generations, centuries, and the role of the engineering troops in modern warfare, how would you describe the tasks to be solved?

Y. STAVITSKY: First of all, these are the tasks of protecting the troops, this is the countermobility of troops and their mobility. That is, if deciphering, protecting - this means bury, bury, countermobility - this is to prevent the enemy from breaking through in some directions by arranging explosive and non-explosive barriers, and mobility is to ensure the movement of its troops: paths, roads, crossings. Here are three whales on which the engineering troops stand, in general, they have solved such problems at all times.

I. KOROTCHENKO: At the Army-2015 forum, prefabricated structures were demonstrated, easily erected, made of cubes, the weight of armored structures, which can be manually assembled for defended positions - is this also an innovation?

Y. STAVITSKY: Industry offers us this. Our industry has too easy an approach, as picking up a cardboard box - now the construction has turned out. Of course, we are looking, it is interesting, we are testing it for the possibility of protection against weapons of mass destruction, resistance to explosion.

I. KOROTCHENKO: With the coming of Sergei Shoigu to the post of Minister of Defense, almost all branches and branches of the Armed Forces are actively involved in the competitive aspect. In what competitions of the International Army Games will engineering troops be involved as participants and as a support unit?

Y. STAVITSKY: Engineering troops are represented in two competitions - Open Water and Safe Route. The system of competition in the engineering troops has existed for a long time. "Open water" appeared when we took as a basis the example of the group soviet troops Germany, a large number of pontoon units were concentrated there and pontoon competitions were regularly held. We have somewhat expanded this format, brought it to a dynamic state, and attracted more technicians and personnel. In addition, we have held competitions for more than 10 years among the CIS countries with the participation of Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Ukraine previously participated, now, unfortunately, it does not participate. At the beginning of July, we held competitions on the territory of Belarus, our team was represented by the 187th training center, we have been holding first place for several years. We had an idea to carry out another "Safe Route". There is one more competition - "Engineering Formula", but we put up two competitions for international games: "Open Water" and "Safe Route".

I. KOROTCHENKO: And what kind of armament engineering will be involved in these competitions?

Y. STAVITSKY: In Open Water, all the floating equipment is presented, what we have by state and which consists of supplying troops - these are pontoon parks, floating transporters, ferry bridge vehicles, and everything that is included in the set of these samples. The "Safe Route" will involve the engineering vehicles of the obstacle - these are heavy mechanized bridges, something that moves on land, and plus sappers with reconnaissance and search equipment.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Are there any fundamental differences in the structure and operation of Russian engineering equipment and similar equipment of the People's Liberation Army of China?

Y. STAVITSKY: According to some indicators. Let's say they have their own chassis, we have ours. And the bridge or pontoon is ours. I have already said that by pontoon-ferry means we have pulled away quite far in the world, and the world has copied everything from us. And today we see that the People's Republic of China has our pontoon park, domestic, in fact, with some modifications. Samples are practically ours in essence, or similar to ours. But how do they work, what do they have specifications - will show the competition.

I. KOROTCHENKO: And what foreign countries will be exhibited?

Y. STAVITSKY: Chinese people's republic and the Republic of Belarus. And on the "Safe Route" Egypt is added to these countries.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Is it Egypt for the first time?

Y. STAVITSKY: For the first time. Before that, we were in Egypt, the head of the main engineering department invited us there to see how the engineering troops are developing, and we invited them to participate in this competition. We hoped that they would exhibit pontoons because they have them. A large number of countries cannot participate in Open Water, because there are no rivers, everyone has tankers, and, unfortunately, not everyone has pontoons. The same Armenia cannot participate, because there are no such subdivisions. The Egyptians are now performing on the Safe Route, watching at the Open Water.

I. KOROTCHENKO: How seriously was the preparation for the competitions of engineering troops in the framework of the International Army Games carried out, what forces and means were involved, what infrastructure facilities were reconstructed or rebuilt?

Y. STAVITSKY: Due to the fact that they began to prepare for international gamesprepared their polygons. I would like to thank the Minister of Defense for making such a decision, we have pulled up our training ground: these are observation towers, stands, and all areas where you can watch. And conducting all-army competitions, we saw a fairly large interest of the population of the city of Murom, and created normal, comfortable conditions for them to watch.

We prepared for Open Water seriously, in stages. First, competitions were held in the armies, districts, and the best teams were put up for all-army competitions. Six teams participated: engineering brigades of districts, regiments of the fleet, armies, a tactical link and a pontoon company. We are holding this competition for the second year. Judging by the last year, the indicators this year have grown many times, the divisions operate so harmoniously. If we take the final part, we have a difference between the units - it's not a tank with a tank, it's hundreds of people on the water. Imagine, the difference between one unit and the other was 15 seconds.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Is this the building of floating bridges?

Y. STAVITSKY: Not only guidance, this is the equipment of ferries of various carrying capacities, the loading of equipment, crossing it to the other side, floating conveyors, loading machines on them with mortar crews - it's not so easy.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Specify the terms and dates of the event so that the listeners, who wants to, could go and see?

Y. STAVITSKY: We are pleased to invite everyone to watch these competitions. "Open water" will be held on August 8 in the city of Murom, Vladimir region, just over 300 kilometers from Moscow. And "Safe route" in the city of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod region on August 12. We are glad to see everyone interested.

I. KOROTCHENKO: Foreign teams that arrive on the territory of our country will stay here for a rather long time, what will you do with foreign guests in your free time from the competition?

Y. STAVITSKY: They no longer want to watch something, they just want to get ready.

I. KOROTCHENKO: The cultural program has been minimized.

Y. STAVITSKY: They want it that way. Of course, we have something to show: that the city of Murom, that the city of Kstova are quite old cities, Kstova is younger, but Nizhny Novgorod is an old city, there is something to see. Our cultural and leisure program is quite rich, our musical groups, city, district, have been prepared, which are ready to perform in front of the arriving military personnel. Of course, the most important thing for them is the preparation of equipment, the material part, because a fairly large number of different vehicles are involved, so these are not two or three tanks, these are dozens of vehicles.

I. KOROTCHENKO: In what activities of combat training of troops, perhaps operational activities, exercises, will you take part in in 2015?

Y. STAVITSKY: The most important exam for us is the strategic exercises in September, plus our special exercises before the data are special exercises of the central military engineering troops of the Central Military District, where engineering brigades of the Central District and the first engineer brigade will participate my subordination will act in the directions that will be designated for them.

I. KOROTCHENKO: As far as I understand, the Safe Route will become the hallmark of the presentation of the International Mine Action Center?

Y. STAVITSKY: I would not say that it was a mine action center, but we will show some competitive elements there to overcome a mined area. But all the same it is impossible to say that, because it is a kind of movement support unit. The goal of the "Safe Route" is that the engineer-engineer unit must safely bring the equipment that follows them, that is, the tank and the armored personnel carrier. Such a mini-detachment of movement support.

I. KOROTCHENKO: I see. Is the mood in the troops?

Y. STAVITSKY: Everything is on such a high ascent, the spirit is such that it is even difficult to say and describe - it must be seen!

I. KOROTCHENKO: The guest of the first part of the Geenstab program was Lieutenant General Yuri Mikhailovich Stavitsky, Chief of Engineering Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Thank!

Y. STAVITSKY: Thank you.

You are not a slave!
