Russia announces deepest defence budget cuts since 1990s
Craig Caffrey, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
16 March 2017


Figures released by the Russian Federal Treasury have confirmed that Russia's defence budget has been cut by 25.5% for 2017, falling from RUB3.8 trillion (USD65.4 billion) to RUB2.8 trillion.

The reduction represents the largest cut to military expenditure in the country since the early 1990s.

The reduction follows an extended period of large increases to Russian defence spending with growth having achieved an average rate of 19.8% a year since 2011 in nominal terms. Despite the cut, the 2017 budget will remain about 14.4% higher than the level of defence spending seen in 2014 in nominal terms.

The Russian government initially outlined plans to reduce defence expenditure in the draft of the three year budget for 2017 to 2019 released in October 2016.

HUGE 25% cut in defence expenditure by Russia.

Now the question is would Russia be able to complete PAKFA on time or not and could we get FGFA on time or not?
And can Russia let go Indian funds and participation in it PakFa & FGFA development?
Okay today I read from some russia military observers, that the cut is more like 7-9% and not 25% as proposed by Janes.

At what one could get an entire squadron of jet planes few decade ago, now is cost of only a radar.

Russia is itself struggling to master easily affordable and reliable stealth technology despite PAKFA/T-50. It's safe to say that the challenges are far greater than anticipated.
