Putin’s voters will not see any stagnation.. Those voting the opposition will only see stagnation. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle…
The truth is in our GDP charts and other macroeconomical statistics. It is so obvious that even Ministries of Finance and Economic Development cannot ignore the reality – we lost all drivers of the economic growth.
I don’t see any stagnation. Stagnation means when debt creation and resource depletion are faster than GDP. Japan /Korea/India are the example.
It’s already obvious that you don’t see anything. Neither recession in the previous two years, nor stagnation now. I remember such people as you, right before USSR died – they too didn’t see what’s coming…poor idiots.
I don’t pay attention to economic forecast as they don’t take into account military power.
No one, and macroeconomics especially, doesn’t care – what you pay attention to. We’re stagnating and have no drivers, anymore, for economic growth – that’s a fact.
In post 2020 period with current procurement Russia will be controlling world airtraffic, waterways and the most efficient pipeline and cargo rail system . I don’t see any problem with financing . Military buildup automatically attract investment.
Of course you don’t see: http://www.vedomosti.ru/economics/articles/2016/02/15/629411-15-let-zastoya#/galleries/140737492631129/normal/1
You are saying it as if Su-27P was radically different from Su-27S… It was just a rebranding, some changes in coms systems, nothing more. Again, for a millionth time – MiG-31 exists for a reason. And that reason is to do the things Su-27 clearly cant do.
I say it like it was different FCS. And again – we don’t have money on another one fullscale program.
I agree. Can’t see how we will manage to fund another one fullscale 5gen program. Making PAK-FA variant for PVO, just like the Su-27P was made for PVO during Soviet times, would be the most cost-effective and the only realistic way, especially given current economical situation and trend.
What I would love to know.. What was the altitude in that flight 🙂
Awesome to see the Beast operating at such altitude.
21500 meters

LOL at the title: Russian Mig-31 [FOXHOUND] shooting satellite drill in the stratosphere 18 02 17 :stupid:
What is LDPE ? В долгосрочной к ним добавятся ПД-35 и ПВД.

Almost everyone knows that…and what use is that for Russia? I would say possibly nothing.
This is UN-resolution. So it doesn’t matter, what’s in it for Russia.
