“The Luna-25 station that crashed onto the Moon is a product of the collapsed NPO named after S.A. Lavochkin, or as it is also called “Lavochka.” Lavochka’s products have not flown anywhere for a long time and lag behind their foreign competitors in all technical parameters for years. 30. This fact is not a secret for professionals.
“Luna 25” was developed and assembled at the Lavochkina production association back in the late 90s and early 2000s. All this gathered dust and rusted until there was an urgent need for Russian leaders to show off the “successes” of the space industry. They dusted it off, spent a few hundred million dollars more, and with the ideology of scientific thought from the 90s, the device rushed to the Moon, where it safely crashed. There could be no other outcome for this space expedition. The main advantage of Lavochka currently is its location – right next to the Moscow ring road. Soon, the former industrial and scientific areas will be demolished and new residential complexes and business centers will appear in place of the once famous structure. This is the fate now of many enterprises that are part of Roscosmos and not only… This is the fate of almost all Moscow factories and design bureaus of the defense complex, machine tool building, mechanical engineering, microelectronics, etc. All scientific and production potential has been rolled into asphalt and concrete – there are almost no qualified scientific personnel left, as well as the teaching staff. The main thing is that there is no vector for the development of Russian science and industry. More precisely, it exists, only the focus is not on high-tech production and scientific development, but on the appropriation of the lands on which the former flagships of the Soviet cosmonautics and defense industry stand.
NPO “Lavochkina” has been in the news recently mainly due to the constant criminal cases and arrests of its leaders, which is what the NPO is famous for today, and not for the nomenclature it produces. In place of some thieving CEOs, others come, and again, and again and again, huge amounts of money are absorbed through the topic (Lavochka’s annual budget is at least $15 billion), which are thrown open into the right pockets, flooding government structures with fake reporting and statistical information.”
