Meanwhile in March 2021 \u201cEkaterinburg Online\u201c was writing that UVZ employees were complaining about very low salaries. The article says that UVZ employees are receiving in average 25-30 thousand roubles. &#8220;As a senior master I get a salary of 25 thousand roubles and the possible bonus is not more than 20% extra to that. That\u2019s it. This is a beggar salary. I\u2019m working five days eight hours a day. To earn some decent money you need to live there&#8230; Then maybe there would be possible earn 40-50 thousand but for that you need to have 200 hours a month, &#8220;said Evgeny Medvedev, a senior master at workshop 555 who works for UVZ since 1997.<\/p>\n<p>According to the news agency TASS quoting CEO of \u201cRostech Corporation\u201d Sergei Chemezov UVZ&#8217;s total debt stands now at $87 billion roubles. Prior the \u201cRostech\u201d took over the company debts were much higher but some of them were covered by the state. The remaining $87 billion is expected to be covered by company itself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/06\/Armata_tempia-e1624430113775.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16831\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/06\/Armata_tempia-e1624430113775.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Tank Armata is embarrassingly dragged during the Victory Day parade<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2015 it was solemnly announced that UVZ had received an order from the Russian to produce 2,300 T-14 Armata tanks until 2020. This was followed by information that the deadline was postponed to 2025 due to the reduction of defence spending. In 2018 Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov at the \u201cArmy-2018\u201d forum already stated that tank T-14 is too expensive for serial production, therefore instead of purchasing new tanks Ministry of Defence will be continue modernization of existing T-72 and T-90. Later it was reported that the Russian military would still receive the first T-14 tanks in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Having in mind constant delays, the inconsistency of reports and salary reduction for UVZ employees this plan may also be highly questionable. Currently are produced only around 20 units of T-14 Armata tanks in total.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>This article was prepared for publication by volunteers of the Lithuanian editorial board of the international intelligence community InformNapalm and first time published on <a href=\"https:\/\/respublica.lt\/en\/armata-t-14-tank-manufacturer-faces-with-financial-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Res Publica<\/a> &#8211; Civic Resilience Center\u00a0web page.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Cover photo: <\/em><em>Qualified UVZ employees are being sent for public works \/ Source: pravdaurfo.ru<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sources <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/06\/sources_armata.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Read more from InformNapalm:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/prigozhins-troll-armies-exposed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prigozhin\u2019s Troll Armies Exposed<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/formation-of-new-russian-division-near-the-borders-of-lithuania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formation of new Russian division near the borders of Lithuania moves ahead of schedule<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/80th-anniversary-of-the-massacres-and-deportations-of-the-lithuanian-population\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cBlack June\u201d \u2013 commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the massacres and deportations of the Lithuanian population<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/fbi-controlled-messaging-app-helps-to-arrest-more-than-800-criminals-ukrainian-experience-in-the-cyberwar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FBI-controlled messaging app helps to arrest more than 800 criminals.

However this excuse is questionable as in November 2020 local federal district news agency \u201cPravda Ural\u201c was writing that qualified employees of UVZ are being sent for public works due to insufficient production loads.\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S93ebaJXtXU\" width=\"642\" height=\"340\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width: 0px;overflow: hidden;line-height: 0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>Tank Armata is embarrassingly dragged during the Victory Day parade<\/em><\/p>\r\nDuring the interview with RBC.ru in 2019 CEO of UVZ Alexander Potapov told that the average salary in Uralvagonzavod is about 40 thousand roubles a month and is allegedly \"higher than the average salary in Nizhny Tagil\". Meanwhile in March 2021 \u201cEkaterinburg Online\u201c was writing that UVZ employees were complaining about very low salaries. The article says that UVZ employees are receiving in average 25-30 thousand roubles. \"As a senior master I get a salary of 25 thousand roubles and the possible bonus is not more than 20% extra to that. That\u2019s it. This is a beggar salary. I\u2019m working five days eight hours a day. To earn some decent money you need to live there... Then maybe there would be possible earn 40-50 thousand but for that you need to have 200 hours a month, \"said Evgeny Medvedev, a senior master at workshop 555 who works for UVZ since 1997.\r\n\r\nAccording to the news agency TASS quoting CEO of \u201cRostech Corporation\u201d Sergei Chemezov UVZ's total debt stands now at $87 billion roubles. Prior the \u201cRostech\u201d took over the company debts were much higher but some of them were covered by the state. The remaining $87 billion is expected to be covered by company itself.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/06\/Armata_tempia-e1624430113775.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16831\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/06\/Armata_tempia-e1624430113775.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<em>Tank Armata is embarrassingly dragged during the Victory Day parade<\/em>\r\n\r\n2015 it was solemnly announced that UVZ had received an order from the Russian to produce 2,300 T-14 Armata tanks until 2020. This was followed by information that the deadline was postponed to 2025 due to the reduction of defence spending. In 2018 Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov at the \u201cArmy-2018\u201d forum already stated that tank T-14 is too expensive for serial production, therefore instead of purchasing new tanks Ministry of Defence will be continue modernization of existing T-72 and T-90. Later it was reported that the Russian military would still receive the first T-14 tanks in 2022.\r\n\r\nHaving in mind constant delays, the inconsistency of reports and salary reduction for UVZ employees this plan may also be highly questionable. Currently are produced only around 20 units of T-14 Armata tanks in total.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<em>This article was prepared for publication by volunteers of the Lithuanian editorial board of the international intelligence community InformNapalm and first time published on <a href=\"https:\/\/respublica.lt\/en\/armata-t-14-tank-manufacturer-faces-with-financial-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Res Publica<\/a> - Civic Resilience Center\u00a0web page.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<em>Cover photo: <\/em><em>Qualified UVZ employees are being sent for public works \/ Source: pravdaurfo.ru<\/em>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nSources <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/06\/sources_armata.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>Read more from InformNapalm:<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/prigozhins-troll-armies-exposed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prigozhin\u2019s Troll Armies Exposed<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/formation-of-new-russian-division-near-the-borders-of-lithuania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Formation of new Russian division near the borders of Lithuania moves ahead of schedule<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/80th-anniversary-of-the-massacres-and-deportations-of-the-lithuanian-population\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cBlack June\u201d \u2013 commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the massacres and deportations of the Lithuanian population<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/fbi-controlled-messaging-app-helps-to-arrest-more-than-800-criminals-ukrainian-experience-in-the-cyberwar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FBI-controlled messaging app helps to arrest more than 800 criminals.
