Putin's plan aims to spend 22 trillion rubles (over $400 billion) through 2020 to give the Russian armed forces dozens of navy ships, hundreds of new planes and missiles and thousands of tanks and other weapons.

It is just an announcement. Let us see if it ever materializes.

Why would Arabs help Russia,a direct competitor in energy supply???

He's getting Arab money
jk

The stupid Arabs gave them $10 billion to forestall any military sales to Iran. Russian are too smart to be tricked by Arab fools.

It could have been better spent as a stimulus for the economy.

India also gave them $5 billion to develop T-50 PAKFA and now they are asking for more. India should send them more billions !

The Saudis been acting childish since Iran Nuclear deal. the gave Russia $10 billion hoping Russia won't sell arms to Russia. They are either too naive or stupid you can choose one of the two descriptions.

In fact, this program was started in 2012. So the solid part of 22 trillion rubles has already been spent.
