Description
This article details reforms within the East Sea Fleet’s Armament Department to adapt to expanding naval missions. It highlights a transition from pure hardware maintenance to a "soft and hard" support model that integrates technical repairs with submariner training and psychological confidence in their equipment. The piece also explores the benefits of a "factory conglomerate" model for more efficient repairs and the normalization of civil-military integration for specialized technical support.
