Since early this year stopped the subversive activities 11 bandglavarey, as well as more than 240 militants and their supporters, said at a meeting of the National Antiterrorism Committee Federal Security Service Director Alexander Bortnikov. "On the territory of the Vedeno district of the Chechen Republic to destroy a group of bandits of ten persons headed filed Saudi Arabia Yasser, an emissary of international terrorist organizations in the North Caucasus ", - stressed the head of the FSB.
 Over the past two months, security forces foiled the plans of terrorists to commit a number of major terrorist attacks, said Bortnikov. He did not detail this information.In addition, the government plans soon to increase the role of the Defense Ministry, according to rumors - for solving the Caucasian problems.
Federal Agency for the supply of arms (Rosoboronpostavka) is likely to be reassigned to the Defense Ministry, reports RIA Novosti .
Head Rosoboronpostavki Viktor Cherkesov was dismissed from his post, his position was appointed adviser to Defence Minister Nadezhda Sinnikova.
"It is planned that the structure (Rosoboronpostavki) undergo changes in response Rosoboronpostavki transferring the Defence Ministry said. As a result, the Defense Ministry, in fact, will oversee the delivery of machinery and equipment for law enforcement agencies. If this happens, the relevance of the Ministry of Defence among law enforcement agencies will be times" - the spokesman said.
We recall that on 13 June, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a decree released Viktor Cherkesov of the head of the Federal Agency for deliveries of arms, military, special equipment and supplies (Rosoboronpostavka). Russian authorities clearly intend to continue defense reform. The experts believe that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin intends to personally control the processes occurring in DIC.
But if the first step in this direction was the appointment of a close friend of Putin - Victor Cherkesov head Rosoboronpostavki, the current permutation merely says that the Circassian his task fulfilled quickly. According to experts, the fact that Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov kept his post in the new government - demonstrates the continuation of reform "by Serdyukov". This is the first man over the past 50-60 years, who began to understand the war economy.
Personnel changes around the military officials suggest that the DIC in the near future are waiting for serious change. Expert Portal "Eurasia" Paul Kanishchev believes that Vladimir Putin wants to personally monitor everything that happens in the military-industrial complex. "Therefore, the head of the Federal Service for the supply of arms was appointed one of the closest associates of Putin Viktor Cherkesov, - the expert believes. - The first deputy head of military-industrial complex, too, is likely to become an authorized person of Putin, which will provide additional control over the expenditure of huge funds to be spent in this area. "
On the creation of dedicated government agency meeting Putin said that the most important functions of the new department "should be placing the state defense order for delivery of goods, works and services, government contracts with performers defense orders, financing government contracts, monitoring and recording performance of these contracts, implementation of a uniform pricing policy in the sphere of realization of the state defense order.
Thus in the ensuing discussion sounded, that the agency will fully implement the civilian and will purchase equipment and supplies for all law enforcement agencies. Specifically, customers - that is, law enforcement agencies - themselves will determine what and how much they need. The agency also must place these orders on specific enterprises and finance contracts. In addition, remains a special service on defense order, which will monitor the quality of work performed.
According to former Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov, the creation of the agency will contribute to the fight against corruption. Since it will be completely civil, "with people in uniform removed the obligation to distribute the huge financial resources." "We are creating a single harmonious system when the customer, that is, law enforcement agencies, remains a function of determining what should be ordered, in what amounts to form the state defense order", - said Deputy Prime Minister.
Regulation of the Federal Agency for the supply of arms, military, special supplies and equipment have been approved by the Government of Russia March 6, 2008. According to the document, Rosoboronpostavka is a federal executive body performing the functions of state customer orders placed, contracts, payment, control and accounting for contracts under the state defense order, and to ensure the implementation of public policy, regulatory and legal controls, management of state property in a specified area.
The Regulation also found that the functions Rosoboronpostavki, inter alia, include: development and approval of bidding documents and records of the auction, the decision about how to place your order for delivery of goods, works and services, organization and holding of tenders and auctions, the conclusion and payment government contracts. The agency has the right to request and receive information necessary for decision-making on matters within its competence, to give explanations; attract scientific and other organizations, scientists and specialists publish guidelines.
It is important to note that the leadership of the Federal Agency will be directly to the Government of Russia. However, it is clear that Putin intends to take Russia's defense industry is not under personal control of the abundance of free time - in this area ripe for serious structural problems. Russian defense industry enterprises do not by themselves capable of overcoming the outdated system of internal control and inadequate oriented in the current commercial realities.
Just recall the breakdown at the end of last year, a number of major contracts for the supply of arms to certain countries due to the revision of the suppliers prices. This is precisely the characteristic example of Russian defense enterprises not ready to work independently.
