After nearly two decades of scant funding, the defense industry in Russia has once again become a modern and successful sector of the economy. During the 2014-2015. military production grew by an average of 20%, but shipbuilding is still lagging behind.
The consequence of the development of the defense industry was the growth of the export potential of the country:
Moscow hopes to increase export sales (weapons) after, apparently, the successful use of Russian military equipment in Syria. Now there is a willingness to export the latest types of weapons, such as the C-400 anti-aircraft missile system and the Su-35 fighter, which will be sold to China.
- say analysts.
As noted in the report, the increase in the prestige of military service, including, inter alia, improved funding and wage growth, has led to a decrease in the average age (personnel). In 2009, only 20% of military personnel were younger than 35 years. By the end of 2015, this figure was 30%.
