俄罗斯国防和安全报告-2017年
Russian defence budget growth will - compared to the double-digit levels seen in recent years -
slow down over the coming decade, amid sluggish real GDP expansion and efforts to limit government
spending. It will nevertheless remain above 4% annually beyond 2017, reflecting Moscow's persistent
efforts to play a prominent role on the global and regional stage, to modernise its military, and to protect
against a broad range of security threats - the most notable of which stems from NATO. Russia's defence
trade balance, meanwhile, will remain firmly in surplus over the years ahead, as the country works to
increase exports (to make up for slowing domestic demand) and limit imports (amid Moscow's continued
efforts to ensure sector self-sufficiency).
