Sputnik sat down with economic and military experts to discuss possible changes in Russia’s policies over the next six years.
Military: ‘Technological Race’ Instead of ‘Arms Race’
“The victory of President Putin is a determining factor given that under him [Russia] has built a [technological] chain that starts with research and development work and ends with the delivery of modern weapons and military equipment to the Russian Armed Forces,” Alexey Leonkov, a military analyst and editor of Arsenal Otechestva (Arsenal of the Fatherland), told Sputnik.
“This work will continue, because, as the special military operation has demonstrated, [Russia’s] enemy is looking for ways to beat its modern weapons systems. That is, they are looking for a universal means or, as they say, a miracle technology that will provide them, in their opinion, with a guaranteed victory in any military operation,” Leonkov continued.
