And reporters how to know what and how the military is carrying out, where such conclusions come from, they were personally told about the economy problems in secret. And I tried the Institute on coffee grounds to take accurate information.

But essentially, what do you disagree with without “coffee grounds”? Would you like to argue that the budget has been reduced by this figure or to prove that our economy has been growing since the 14th year? What specifically did the figures do not please you?

[Wild_grey_wolf]

Where did the Stockholm Institute get the exact data on the Top Secret Data, the exact knowledge of the expenses and what exactly affected them or did not affect them at all? These are classified data. You are ready to believe such conclusions, reminiscent of the well-known expressions that have become common to all LIKELY and RELATED.

It is more interesting in essence what became clear to YOU ​​and from what reliable sources that you have no doubt about.

What other "secret", stop nonsense to write It is possible to classify the ARTICLES of expenses, but the total amount cannot be hidden. It is simply technically impossible. Therefore, the Swedes do not lie. They take open data and summarize them. That's all. And you are trying to prove here that the spending on the military has not changed, referring to the mysterious "secrecy".

Russia's military budget in 2018 will be $ 46 billion
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a final meeting of the ministry with the participation of President Vladimir Putin that the military budget for 2018 will be $ 46 billion. “The military budget is balanced, meets the needs of the armed forces, and will make 2,8% of GDP, or $ 46 billion next year ...... Vladimir Putin called on the military to rely on intelligence, discipline and organization, as military spending will continue to decrease. “Next year, coming, as a percentage of GDP it will be two and eight with a small 2,85%, in my opinion. Then, little by little, it will even decrease, ”the president said. Https: //www.kommersant.ru/doc/3507257

It is very good that the United States increased arms exports. Since mainly - tanks, self-propelled guns, armored personnel carriers, aviation, except for the F-35 and boats, destroyers, frigates they sell out of stock.

[Lavrenti Pavlovich]

Not good, not very good. The defense budget only needs to be increased, or do we have the most powerful fleet, or fifth-generation planes have done more NATO, are there more submarines than the "exceptional" ones? All of our super weapons so far are only in single instances, so far there is nothing to fight. Patriotism is good, but hundreds of the latest aircraft, tanks, air defense and missile defense systems are needed, the same Ash-trees need 20 pieces, thousands of Caliber. Syria is a small country and how much we are already busy, and if a more serious conflict of modern weapons is not enough.

Due to the fact that America has privatized the defense industry, business can make a profit from the invasion and occupation of foreign countries, and the billionaires who control these corporations buy Congress and the president to keep these revenues for themselves. Former President of America Eisenhower back in 1959, in his farewell speech, said: The most dangerous force in the United States that poses a threat to the whole world is the military-industrial complex.

[Vadim237]

Yes, it would be better if most of these 700 billion were given away by NASA, space exploration and planets would have exploded rapidly.

[yehat]

Yes, what for planet exploration - you need to invest in technologies to reduce resource consumption - in energy, waste management, infrastructure improvement, transportation and much more. Global change in the production of the matrix of goods (stop the senseless production of products that are 1% better than the previous ones). About half of the planet’s GDP is now thrown into the trash. Then you can do ecology, sociology and genetics.
And only after that think about the planets

[Sergey ippon]

that’s in vain. if the USSR was now a colony on the moon and Mars would be tochnik.
and these would be new technologies, economical engines, recirculators, recycling of the same waste.

The USSR supplied half the world for thanks — with weapons, materials, and food.

[yehat]

1. shoots not weapons, but people
2. The whole of Africa was inundated in half with Kalash and G3 rifles, so there’s no need to hang up noodles - if there weren’t the USSR, others would immediately have fussed.

[Abram]

AND? "where is the money, Zin?" USSR, but no, supply of half the world, as I understand it, has been discontinued. There are no colonnies-republics, which were "dragged" to the "hump" in the "bright future". It’s not noticeable that Russia prospered and burst from money maybe it's time to stop believing in fairy tales that the USSR fed someone? maybe he, on the contrary, was drawing resources to Russia?

As time has shown, the question is not the amount of the budget, but how it will be used. (Russia vs USA)

[yehat]

to support Ukraine, the Russian Federation spent 5 times more than the United States, which destroyed it with its toxic cookies.

4,3% of the country's GDP.

Also a lot, it should be noted. And then, Big Pu said that “we will not get involved in the arms race, Russia has other priorities, we have something to answer”, I want to think that the reduction in consumption is associated not only with the difficult economic situation in the country.

[askort154]

Corsair0304 .... I would like to think that the reduction in consumption is associated not only with the difficult economic situation in the country.

Everything goes according to plan. In 2011, a plan was adopted to restore the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, until 2020.
To upgrade military equipment and weapons to 70 -80%, for which 22,5 trillion rubles were allocated. Updating is according to the schedule. In 2017, they adopted the military budget for the next 10 years = 17,5 trillion rubles. That is, fewer funds, in view of the remaining 30-20% before a 2020% renewal, and starting in XNUMX, the gradual transfer of some production capacities of the military-industrial complex to civilian or dual-use products. Therefore, of course, the annual budget of the RF Ministry of Defense is also decreasing.
The difference between 22 and 17 will go to social science and science. What GDP stated.

[Vadim237]

They spend five times more on social programs in Russia than on defense - 5 trillion, against 1.

[Masya masya]

The modernization of the army remains a priority for Russia, however, the country's economic problems experienced since 2014 have limited the military budget

[Corsair0304]
