Bounce this idiot who would have us killed for profit if he coukd out of office on Nov 6. Russia knows it is more efficient to let the enemy use their own money and resources to develop weapons of mass destruction then just steal their technology and replicate it. This is nothing new and something they’ve been doing for a long time now.
Russia has revealed details of its ambitious plan to upgrade its army over the next ten years, planning to spend US$650 billion on the project.
The unveiled large-scale plans of the Russian defense ministry propose the spending of vast sums of money up to 2020.
First and foremost, Russian defense will focus on the development of strategic nuclear weapons, construction of over 100 military vessels for Russian Navy, including construction of four originally French-made Mistral-class amphibious assault ships, and the introduction into the Air Force of over 1,000 helicopters and 600 military planes, including fifth generation PAK-FA fighter.
Most of the military hardware will be equipped with next-generation weaponry.
