Another question - is this a sop to the military to a lid on the disaffection growing inn the TOP ranks?
Remember, the military was a player in protecting the demise of the old Soviet...
To say things are in a flux is ann ubderstatement.

Vladie probably needs some Mid-East crisis to recover his credibility. Probably engineered through Iran.
Higher oil price and more revenue (at least in the medium-term) to provide spanky new toys to Russian military.
