The $ 72 Billion Putin Plan, over the next decade includes:
400 new intercontinental ballistic missiles
2,300 late-generation tanks
600 modern combat aircraft – including at least 100 military-purpose space planes
Eight nuclear ballistic missile submarines, 50 surface warships
A whole new inventory of artillery, air defense systems, and about 17,000 new military vehicles.
