- Abstract
The Russian State Armament Programme (SAP) represents one of the top priorities of the federal government and of President Putin in particular. Even if the funds alloted for this ambitious program are significant, it is possible that the objectives of SAP will not be fully accomplished due to the inabillity of Military Industrial Complex to cantitatively, qualitatively and timely fulfill the provisions of annual State Defence Order, put forward by Russian Ministry of Defence. In order to fulfill SAP goals, the Russian defence industry is currently under pressure from President Putin and MoD. Moreover, the lack of modern technologies and specialists needed for the replacement of the components imported in the past from Ukraine might led to delayed deliveries of some weapon systems intended for Russian Armed Forces. If the SAP will achieve its objectives, the conventional capabilities of Russian military might surpass those of European NATO nations (without USA). At the level of strategic capabilities, the balance is already favourable to Russia.
