Abstract: The Soviet military-industrial complex suffered a deep economic crisis after the emergence of the transition economy and the end of the global arms race. Military spending in Russia has been drastically reduced and the crisis has mainly affected the arms industry. While nuclear weapons remain the main instrument of Russian defence, the demands of the Russian military for equipment have rarely been met. Companies have been forced to pursue strategies of diversification of arms production, exporting weapons that the Ministry of Defence no longer orders, engaging in technical assistance to interested countries and converting their activities to civilian production. The military sector is dependent on the level of economic development, available national capabilities and research and development, all of which do not bode well for a rapid renewal of Russian military power.

Keywords: Russian military-industrial complex; Russian military expenditures; conversion of the military sector; arms exports; Complexe militaro-industriel russe; exportations d'armes; conversion du secteur militaire; dépenses militaires russes (search for similar items in EconPapers)
