When all those defense companies were allowed to merge in the 90’s it meant less competition and innovation. This will just make it worse,
I can't find that video anywhere else on the internet.
Didn’t work well in Russia since the defence contractors consolidated by branches. MIC was probably a single ‘capitalist’ part of Soviet economy with a great deal of competition between design buros and production facilities.
Now they have behemoths like United Aircraft Corporation or Tactical Missile Corporation or All-national Shipbuilding company which bought or starved all competition.
On one hand many of them are publicly traded and everyone can get something off it but the most evident result is their products are now priced on par with Western designs but not necessarily comparable by capabilities. And that is not even the shortest end the military has from it. Not only the military don’t have effective tools to argue prices at such environment they don’t really have that much a say on designs they get. It is mostly decided by producers themselves and politicians.
