Russia is getting more and more democratic every day.

Soviet engineers are no longer afraid, because they either on tiny pension (those who haven't died), and after USSR decay nobody quite cared about new generation of engineers.

The military budget is second largest in the world (all things considered) but the amount of new weapons army gets is diminishing.

How is F-22 (360 mil $ per aircraft) going?

(Not ironic, this is really good news for the world. I'd still like some links...)
