Yup, that link pretty much sums it all up. No point in replying to stronKers. It's Russian sources that are now admitting that they just cannot even spend what they projected back in 2010. They want to keep it's focus on space, submarines and the air force, but it needs to be cut back...

Ah, gotta love a RDF StronKer :) Yes, it is slowing don't because of sanctions indeed. And it is extremely funny when a RDF StronKer is going to tell me about economics. Many serious sources have pointed out how Russian economy is going down, and even Moody's is estimating recession for Russia...

Your way of start a discussion with "you wish" is just pure BS. I do not wish anything bad on Russia - I am just stating facts. Read what I said - I said "slowing down". You say: "still growing". Yes, 0,5% is maybe a growth to you, but with 8 percent inflation, it is practically a stand still...

Exactly. I mean, it's great that Russia has ambitions, but looking at the speed of building of several projects, especially projects regarding ships, hasn't been implemented according to what Russia was projecting a few years back.. Gorskhov frigate has barely been sorted out now. Or still not...

It's Admiral Gorskhov. It should have been ready back in 2011 or so, but it has been delayed a lot. The Russian Navy wanted between 10 and 15 of these by 2015 - and 20 by the year 2020. Those where the projections a few years back, but it took a while until this first frigate was sorted out. I...

Algeria is not going to buy Frenchie c-r-a-p. Algeria is a SOLID Russian ally. It's been like that since 1950s/1960s. Everything of "strategic" importance from Improved Kilos, Su-30MKA, S-300 PMU2 and soon to be S-400 is from Russia. No French fighters. Algeria has as mentioned ordered...

Such a f-ing LIAR! You called people on here SAND NIxxERS , TWICE. F-ing disgusting. Tell that to some of your so-called "Arab friends"- Tell that to their face. Even better, come to Algeria or Tunisia or Egypt and tell them there those same words. No, retardo capishe, Su-30MKI/A was not in...

LOOOOL. Again, there is NOT one single Russian ally that Algeria has problems with. Your mighty "Arab forces" on the other hand, have problems with Israel. And Israel has problems with them. As I said, try to challenge Israel, and Israel would mop the floor with all Egyptian, Saudi, Turkish...

Oh, I know more than enough about your so-called "mighty" PAF. I wonder which planes would PAF have if it wasn't for the U.S., France and now China ? Ah, yes, lol. At least you know that when you get a place from China, you can operate it freely. And Algeria knows that when Algeria has Russian...

They definitely are deluded regarding strength of Arab forces. He have seen each time what happens with Egyptian air power when they meet Israel. It's going down for EAF, big time. Same with Syria in 1980s. Jordan would be dead in a day if they tried something funny against Israel. And these...

First of all, it's 44 Su-30 MKA, and not 28. Source for this is Russian and confirmed delievered already in 2012. Eight of them delivered in 2011, and another 8 in 2012. That's 28 + 8 + 8 = 44 Su-30 MKA I quote: Algeria received its second and final batch of eight Su-30MKI (A) fighters under...

Indian people in general are not hostile to China at all. It's a split whereas 39% are skeptical of China. 31% are positive of China, and 30% are neutral/no opinion. How Countries View China | Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project Hostile nations in Asia are as you can see Japan and...

When is S-400 going to arrive; any links on that ? Sounds great. Having own navigation system that's independent of GPS is also very important. Regarding 20 billion - yes, "everything" is included in there. 13 billion for defense, and addition 7 billion for anti-terrorist operations etc; chaos...

Yeah, I wouldn't count 051 in the total numbers. So I would say somewhere between 17-19 either modern or somewhat modern destroyers. 2 052D as 2nd one is about to be ready and commissioned, and there are another 5 or 6 in various levels of construction. At least another 2 will be ready sometime...

Excuse me if I haven't understood this correctly, but I think your "headline" in the thread is wrong. It seems like Japan is going to build another 8 AEGIS destroyers, when the plan is to increase from current 6 to 8 in 2020 or 2025 ? Article says in the next "ten years". The headline makes me...

Agree. Russia have had a bad habbit of falling into Western traps, while the U.S. and its allies have continued to systematically attack Russian allies since 1990s, but also Iraq (2003) , Libya (2011) and the proxy-war against Syria (from 2011) in addition to the coup i Kiev/Ukraine earlier this...

The Russian Navy need to do something about Admiral Gorskhov and Grigorovich build-up. It has taken waaaaaay too long; delays after delays. I am happy though that almost four Steregushchy corvettes are ready, but they too have taken way too long to build.

It's not that important how big the budget is. What is important is how much is left for aquiring new things. For example, the U.S. defense budget is around 500 billion, excluding overseas occupation "operations". However 90 billion is set for bying new military plattforms and 60 billion is set...

Not to mention former Soviet Union, former Yugoslavia. All chaos because of "democrazy". Democrazy is a weapon used to divide countries the U.S. does not like. It's kind of funny when a country with two political parties which are almost copies of each other are going to tell China what China...

No, you don't have 63 units of F-16 Block-52, you have 18. Stop dreaming ! The rest are Block 15 that need uprade, a very expencive one if I might add, which Pakistan cannot afford. Then you have as I mentioned, mixure of Block 1 and 2 JF-17, around 50 units. So that's about 67-68 fighters...
