Mikhail Pogosyan stepping down as head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). The contract was designed to February 2016, but already January 16 Board of Directors may send Poghosyan resigned. As a result, the balance of power in the Russian defense industry will change significantly.
Joint anti-crisis Corporation
Mikhail Pogosyan, head of the holding "dry", in 2011, took over as president of the United Aircraft Corporation Alexei Fedorov, former head of the Corporation "Irkut". Thirty years later historians popular domestic aircraft industry for sure, without going into details, can easily give a phrase like "the struggle interest groups and business interests behind these two figures, determined the whole complexion of the Russian aircraft industry at the turn of the century" - and not much pogreshat against the truth .
In any case, it was necessary to recommend to treat age with respect, because, no matter how trite sounds, it literally decided to leave. As they say industry sources, this decision initiated by Pogosyan, though not without the pressure of external circumstances.
United Aircraft Corporation, founded in 2006, initially seen as integrators of post-Soviet aircraft industry, due to the collapse of the USSR were not "leading and guiding force", a role which until 1991 was fulfilled by the aviation industry. The main task of the new corporation was pulling stalled aircraft factories, mainly civilians, due to more successful colleagues, especially the holding company "Dry" and Corporation "Irkut", managed to swim through the export of aircraft Su-27 / Su-30.
Pogosyan, which grew out of the team of the late head of Sukhoi Mikhail Simonov, known in the industry as a project manager with difficult aligned cooperation. On his account protaschenny through difficult years and irregular financing project Su-35s launched from the ground up project cars of the fifth generation PAK FA, as well as a civil regional airliner Sukhoi Superjet.

The last two projects are particularly noteworthy. At the start, they looked the same unrealizable and advance were covered with labels at best "cuts" in the worst - Manilovism. However, we have over the years? Serial construction of dozens of "Superjet" Komsomolsk and flying fighter T-50, built by the PAK FA program. This success in the aircraft can not boast of one only "Irkut" with their mass production of the Su-30MKI (Su-30cm) and light Yak-130 has no background on the project Pogosyan pale appearance.
Also it should be noted that it was under KLA Poghosyan lost its former loose form, where "business units" were established with 90s feudal fiefdoms Directorate, and went on to transparent management, when the plants are built and design in the Directorate for ongoing projects machines.
The main complaint against the KLA in recent years, in addition to financial distress (associated with the recovery of lying on the side of enterprises and start-up capital program development and production), is a policy in the field of civil aviation. All the forces in it were thrown on two projects: "Superjet" and medium-range airliner MS-21, which makes the "Irkut".
The project "SuperJet" strongly involved in co-operation with foreign suppliers, in the current environment will experience more risks than previously given, quite frankly, is small and not very rhythmic demand for liner. (In contrast to the mass production of Komsomolsk, which is just a very good schedule.)

It is in the very near future will certainly cause another surge model gloating about "pogosyanovskogo cuckoo", which pushed out of the nest civil aviation industry a lot of "unique, unparalleled" domestic projects (some of them, like the Tu-334, conceptually obsolete already at the time of the first rise in air). Worth the wait and related proposals back on the wave of "import substitution" to the autarkic development of civil aircraft.
But these small lobbying attempts to profit at the expense of budget financing special irrelevant. The value is a much more serious, quiet and expensive process under way in the domestic defense industry. It was there that should look for an answer to the question about the future of the KLA.
Corporation "MinVseobscheMash"
We are talking about the planned expansion of the influence of the state corporation "Rostec", which already owning 40 percent of the Russian defense enterprises with total output only military production in excess of 600 billion rubles (in 2013), as well as monitoring of up to 90 percent of Russian arms exports, on essentially a shadow Ministry of Defense Industry.
When you create a state corporation "Russian Technologies", later changed to "Rostec 'main tasks were similar to those that were the creation of the KLA. By the proceeds of "Rosoboronexport", which became the main asset of the new corporation, and a number of other companies whose equipment by means of the same ROE has found its market, expected to breathe life into other assets. A few years later the continuous growth of military spending, coupled with the Russian export of military equipment will make "Rostec" giant with a turnover of over one trillion rubles.
Of the largest Russian defense holdings not retract one way or another in the sphere of influence "Rostec", in fact, there were only the KLA and the United Shipbuilding Corporation. Such as self-giant "Almaz-Antey" fell last year on its base began forming a new group of aerospace defense, and the task is assigned directly to the head "Rostec" Sergey Chemezov, who headed the board of directors.
We must understand that we are not talking about a campaign of public business in private, and the gradual coalescence of state defense assets into a giant business conglomerate, which is equal to the degree of centralization was not in the Soviet times. Then below supervising state authorities (Department of Defense and the Central Military-Industrial Commission Council of Ministers) began the "nine" defense ministries, managed independently. How to behave in a similar pattern in terms of increased attention to the government's defense order (and also increased funding), particularly in terms of cost efficiency, yet to understand.
About the lack of coordination between the KLA and rostehovskimi holdings producing equipment for the aviation industry, say for a long time. Judge who is to blame, not so easy, but according to media reports is already known that the new head of the KLA will be a separate item tasked to coordinate with the "Rostec" (whatever that meant no).
Thus, the most interesting thing in the story itself is not Pogosyan, who, as has long been an independent figure, ruled despotically Russian aviation industry and should remain serious. What he has achieved, what failed, and what he should not have done - let versed professionals in a few years, when it becomes clear real impact on the decisions of Michael Aslanovich industry (whatever it was).
The first question that must be asked in this section with respect to shape the new head of the KLA, is very simple: how this person would be affiliated with the "Rostec"? This will tell about the situation with the change of leadership the penultimate major defense of monopoly, not included in rostehovskuyu matrix, more than any other speculation.
Although in any case, the new head of the KLA will have to deal with the same machines that are already unwound flywheel development and production. Machines that made him Poghosyan.
