š·šŗ "For the first time in modern history, the country is set to spend 6%Ā of gross domestic product (GDP) on the military, and defense spending will exceed social spending. The war against Ukraine and the West is not only the Kremlinās biggest priority..."
š¶ļø "Defense spending in 2024 will almost double compared to this year. While that is less than the 12ā17% of GDP that the Soviet Union was spending on defense at the height of the Cold War, it is comparable to U.S. military expenditure in the 1980s."
š¶ļø "The Kremlin isnāt just gearing up for a prolonged war in Ukraine, but apparently sees certain economic benefits from such a scenario. Unlike oil, guns drive industrial growth: economic growth reached 4.9% in July. Industries directly related to the war have seen spectacular growth: production of transport is up 66.7% from last year, computers and electronics are up 42.6%, navigation devices 72.4%, electrical equipment 29.5%, and protective clothing 40.4%. Industries indirectly linked to the fighting are also experiencing abnormally high growth rates: equipment repair and installation is up 8.5%, while the food industry saw 11.3% growth."
