A strong and modernised defence industry is required to carry out Russia’s ambitious state rearmament programme to 2020.
The comprehensive rearmament of Russia’s Armed Forces is expected to begin in 2011, and aims to reach a 30% share of modern weaponry by 2015 and 70% by 2020.
About $641bn will be allocated by the government for the rearmament programme, according to RIA Novosti.
