MECHANISM FOR USING CREDIT FUNDS IN DEFENSE PROCUREMENT AND PROPOSALS FOR ITS IMPROVEMENT

Relevance. The military-industrial complex of Russia includes about 2 thousand organizations and high-tech enterprises located in 64 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which employ more than 2 million people: workers, engineers and scientists of the highest qualification. Despite the impressive volume, the state defense procurement market has peculiar features both from an economic and legal point of view, especially in matters of lending to enterprises and pricing for defense products. The aim of this article is to develop proposals for improving the use of credit in the state defense procurement. One of the main problems leading to the untimely fulfillment of state defense procurement contracts in Russia is pricing. Currently, there is a complete lack of organization and algorithms in the cooperation pricing, which predictably leads to deterioration in the financial situation of enterprises working for defense and growing burden on the state budget. Using the method of comparative analysis of the regulatory framework and the experience of applying regulatory acts by Russian enterprises working for defense procurement, we identified the problem areas in the mechanism for executing state orders, in particular, lending to enterprises and raising the price of defense products. The authors have proposed the mechanisms for improving the Russian legislative base for state defense procurement: to legislatively establish a reasonable lending rate and establish a unified procedure for pricing defense products. The authors address the problems of economic and political sanctions against Russia, import substitution of electronic components, creation of new models of military equipment, replacement of personnel and the involvement of young scientists and specialists in production.
