>So how likely is this to affect future procurement?
Fleet will suffer.

>>31798616
And so Russia loses the second cold war before it even starts. To the same tactic as last time no less.

Many more nukes. More tanks. Slightly more planes. Less ships.

They tell their people to be able to find nuke bunkers at a moments notice but they're cutting defense sending?

This time they won't even be able to pay for the tug to bring Kunetsov home

Cut the fat. Project that are in advanced stages continue to the end, they have been funded. Projects in the earlier stages get cancelled.

SPBP

>>31799915
The advanced projects will probably continue to production, the question is how much of a production order we'll see. There's no way they'll be able to buy a significant number of PAK FAs with these cuts unless they make huge cuts elsewhere.

>>31799901
Because propaganda.

>>31799898
Probably the other way around, nukes are useless and expensive.
Ships and planes are too important in today's war

Bye bye Tu-160M2.

Gee, it's almost like spending insane amounts of money into programs you can't afford while your country has less GDP than Spain isn't a good thing.

Maybe the Oligarchs will realize sucking eachother off and paying one another for favors isn't economically viable.

>>31800294

>GDP

GDP is not a good indicator in Russia's case. Russia may have a GDP the size of Italy or Spain, but they control roughly 1/4 of the worlds supply of raw materials. Meanwhile labor is cheaper than their either of them.

>>31800359
They have so much potential, but outside of metropolitan areas Russia is an Africa-tier shithole.

They may control a metric fuckton of resources, but they aren't putting them to good use.

By 2020 it should reduce even more, because of rearming as they plan to finish by 2020.

>>31800086
>nukes are useless and expensive.
Nukes in modern world in the ONLY guarantee of sovereignty.

>>31798616
>a reduction of 12.0% in nominal terms
How much is that in real terms taking into account the depreciation of the ruble?

>>31800705
What I mean is that they won't be used, it's useless to have a thousand nuke.
Like, the 300 warhead of the french or the 200 of the british are more than enough to destroy both the US and Russia

>>31800748
Worse than that.

>>31800379
70% of the economy are government-owned corporations that don't compete with anyone and don't respond to anyone. After the 90s development businesses got choked pretty hard with taxes and regulations and it just gets progressively worse. It doesn't really matter like the other guy said about GDP, selling the natural resources is enough to keep the regime running. But it's becoming progressively morelike late Soviet Union so there's at least hope that the economy collapses again.

>>31801145
Hopefully putin realizes that in order for russia's economy to grow he needs to restructure their economy. First thing they need to to do is privatize

>>31798616
Russia is dead. Forget about us.

>>31801186
>First thing they need to to do is privatize
1998 called, they wan't their massive corruption, poverty, debt default, currency devaluation, and the crowing of the Leningrad KGB clique back.

>>31802040
>massive corruption, poverty, currency devaluation
Those things are happening now. At least you weren't held back as much in the 90s.

>>31802824
Or had King Thief and President for Life Putin.

No, playing musical chairs with Medvedev didn't count.

>but what do you mean we can't match the spending power of the world's super power

So where SHOULD the cuts come from?

Will PAK FA purchases be drawn down and they'll just keep buying Su-35s? Or will the Shtorm and that fuck-huge destroyer be canceled? Or fewer Armata orders? Or will the Pyotr not go in for it's extended refit around 2020?

>>31799878
Let the Vatnik ocean of tears be filled, followed closely by excuses, denial and stubborn historical revisionism.

>>31800359
>they control roughly 1/4 of the worlds supply of raw materials
This is grossly oversimplified. There are huge numbers of strategic and high-tech resources which Russia has no access to, and a HUGE proportion of completely unexploited resources in geologically/climatically inaccessible areas.
