Maybe I should ask this in another thread. But is there any indication that Russian society will be able to produce sufficient personnell to improve the state of its (arms) industry any time soon? I mean are young people being educated? Are there enough young people to take over the baton? Is Russian society in general able to improve?
You can't make arms when your workers are starving, and the young people are sick and poorly educated. A defence industry is a national project with national interests, and it depends on direct input of capital from the state. That is financial as wel as social.
I don't see a lot of bright spots for Russia here, and the decline of their arms industry is ongoing. Perhaps India should be looking away from russia even more?
Sukhoi is addressing this issue.
