Traditions of the DPRK are used on the Belarusian land.

Lukashenka announced the creation of a super combined harvester at Gomselmash which surpasses imported counterparts. Is this task possible to fulfill?

On August 22 the ruler talked about creation of the super combined harvester.

- I will not disclose all secrets, but such ideas and already concrete developments have been developed by designers, Lukashenka said.

Zaika: Perhaps the secret is to create an unmanned machine

The head of the Strategy analytical center Leanid Zaika told Zautra Tvaye Krainy that today technologies are rapidly developing and Gomselmash has to do its best to win competition even from Russian colleagues.

- The Russians are now working in a new direction. They make unmanned agricultural machines that are controlled without direct human intervention. If Belarusians think about creation of such a combined harvester, then they are on the right track, the economist says.

Leanid Zaika calls the creation of unmanned equipment the most promising direction and does not exclude that Aliaksandr Lukashenka meant it when he spoke of "secrets".

The head of the analytical center believes that the main condition for successful solution of the task is a competent work of designers. And he cites words of the head of the Japanese "Toyota", who answering the question about the quality of their cars said that there should be no quality problems if designers had thought out everything.

At the same time, Leanid Zaika is not sure that mass production of such vehicles will follow in the country after the loud statement.

- When the DPRK celebrated the 50th anniversary, the authorities instructed to make two copies of Mercedes-Benz 600. And it was done. It seems that traditions of comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong-il found application on the Belarusian land, the economist says.

Shlyndzikau: It's extremely challenging to create a high quality equipment in the current system

The former head of the Amkodor concern Vasil Shlyndzikau notes: there is no reason to believe that design departments of Gomselmash are low-skilled.

- But the point is in fulfillment. I really doubt that we can really create a super combined harvester. It's extremely challenging to create a high quality equipment in the current system The main thing is that we miss competition. If there is no competition, it means absense of responsibility. It can result in processing and functional deficiency. People do not bear personal responsibility for defects, Vasil Shlyndzikau says.

He also says that despite previous demands of the ruler, quality of Gomselmash equipment is still questionable.

Vasil Shlyndzikau also notes that so far Gomselmash products were mainly in demand in Russia, therefore, he doubts that Belarusian combined harvesters will win a competitive struggle with Western producers.
