Still not the craziest thing I saw in comparison to Rogozin being the head chief of Roscosmos before.
Yeah. Putting a journalist by training as head of the space agency. He is supposed to have undergone training to do his job. Still...
I can't speak too poorly about him because since he went there at least they built Vostochny and the rockets don't seem to be failing as much anymore. But the satellite program is a disaster.
At this point both are managers. I don’t think neither Shoigu neither the new guy ever worked as engineer or mathematician.
You would be wrong. According to Wikipedia:
"Shoigu worked in construction projects nationwide for the next decade, advancing from low levels to become an executive. In 1988, Shoigu became a minor functionary in the Abakan branch of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and then in the Komsomol for a few years. In 1990, Shoigu moved to Moscow from Siberia, and was appointed deputy chairman of the State Architecture and Construction Committee of the Russian Federation"
"From 1981 to 1986, Belousov was probationer-researcher and then junior researcher in the simulation laboratory of human-machine systems of the Central Economic Mathematical Institute. From 1991 to 2006, he was head of laboratory in the Institute of Economic Forecasting in the Russian Academy of Science. He was external advisor to prime minister from 2000 to 2006. Then he served as deputy minister of economic development and trade for two years from 2006 to 2008."
Makes sense if you also read the below. The new defence minister will have to bring down costs and enchance military spending efficiency
Yeah it could make sense. An econometric analysis of the current war situation could help improve the bang for the buck.
