On Wednesday Vladimir Putin said  that Russia was not going to be drawn into the arms race. According to Putin, we just need to make up for the loss in the military sphere.

‘I said it several times that we are not going to get involved in some kind of arms race, in particular to catch up with or surpass somebody. We just have to make up for the loss at the turn of 1990-2000, when the armed forces, and the enterprises of military industrial complex were underfunded, and primarily the programs of technical re-equipment and troops were curtailed’, – Putin said at the meeting with the heads of the defense industry and general constructors.
