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.

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

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.

LOL at the title: Russian Mig-31 [FOXHOUND] shooting satellite drill in the stratosphere 18 02 17 :stupid:

Dec. 8 2015, Rostov-on-Don Kilo-class submarine performing missile strike with 4 Kalibr missiles on positions of terrorists in Syria.

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.
