"Despite the long period of implementation of the import substitution program, almost five years, this area is also not without problems," Krasnov said. "In this regard, in the near future we will begin a large-scale verification of all import substitution measures provided for by the relevant schedules," Krasnov said. html"> RIA Novosti

Machine-tool construction appears in the Prosecutor General's speech for a reason. After all, this industry is the basis of the foundations of the industry of any country. Without modern and high-tech machine tools, it is impossible to produce a car, a rocket, a processor, and products for the defense industry and the space industry. And if in Soviet times even industrial giants in Germany were equipped with machine tools manufactured in the USSR, today everything is just the opposite. Our industry, unfortunately, is almost completely dependent on imported machine tools and their components.
The government has already noted that by 2013, from 2nd place in the world in 1990, Russia fell back to 21st place with a production volume of 0 .2 billion dollars, while in China these volumes amounted to 27.5 billion dollars, and in Germany – 13, 6 billion dollars. At the same time, the bulk of domestically produced machine tools and tools do not belong to the high-tech category. That is, the industry of Russia can make the machine itself out of metal, even if it weighs several tons. But here is the numerical control (CNC) – in most cases no longer. Leaders in the production of "brains" for machine tools are China, Taiwan and other countries.
In July 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin, by order PR-1363, instructed the then Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to carry out a number of events "in order to clarify the priority areas for the development of the machine tool industry"; and import substitution in it. The government was supposed to make an inventory of the capacities and condition of the fleet of machine tools for strategic enterprises.< br /> It was planned to achieve the set goals within the framework of the state program "Development of industry and increase its competitiveness", as well as the subprogram "Development of domestic machine tool building in the tool industry", which was launched back in 2011.
The purpose of the subprogram – by the end of 2016, develop and prepare mass production of means for "technical re-equipment"; machine-building enterprises of Russia. In 2015, the Control Department of the President of Russia conducted an audit of the implementation by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the goals of the state program for import substitution in the machine tool industry. The results of the audit turned out to be discouraging.
Under the 2011 subprogram, 26.4 billion rubles were allocated (13.4 billion rubles from the budget and 13 billion rubles from the budget). from extrabudgetary sources). At the first stage (until 2013), research and development work (R&D) was supposed to be carried out for 7.2 billion rubles (and 5.8 billion rubles attracted by enterprises in the form of loans secured by assets). further Tsargrad
