Krasnykov E. Organizational-legal mechanism of management of state defense orders in Ukraine

It is proved that the state defense is one of the important components of the state governance mechanism for the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, which is embodied in the activities of state authorities of different levels. It should be emphasized that the system of bodies of state power of Ukraine in the sphere of managing state defense is imperfect due to the lack of a unified approach to planning, placement, implementation and control in this area, which in some cases leads to ineffective use of budget and in others - to supply of poor-quality, unreliable and non-modern military products. In order to effectively manage state defense in Ukraine, it is proposed to improve the structure of the executive authorities of Ukraine by creating a single specialized body in the field of state defense order. The creation of this body in the current structure of executive bodies will restore the balance between the interests of government customers and executives, the effective use of budget funds and the supply of high-quality, reliable and modern products. The special body in the field of state defense management is offered to perform the functions of placing and controlling the conduct and execution of the state defense order, the control of procurement in the field of state defense order, supervision and licensing of the development, production and repair of weapons, military equipment and ammunition, organization and control within the limits of implementation of programs involving small business, as well as control and supervision in the field of placing orders for the supply of goods, execution of IT acitivities, provision of services for state needs that do not belong to the scope of state defense, the information about which constitutes state secrets. In Ukraine, a complex of measures is being implemented, which provides its defense forces with modern material and technical means necessary for solving their tasks. The basis of this complex of measures is provosion of state defense order.
