Vlad The Impaler :: INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Vladimir Putin announces the resumption of strategic bomber patrols as it prepares to display its military prowess at the Moscow Air Show. The Russian military machine is back in business.
The MiG-35 and MiG-29 fighter aircraft that Russia plans to showcase at the MAKS-2007 Air Show in the suburban town of Zhukovsky, Russia, Aug. 21 to 26 are only a small part of the five-year, $189 billion military modernization plan under way. Russia is planning to double combat aircraft production by 2025 with new nuclear missiles, aircraft carriers and other goodies on Moscow's shopping list.
Last Friday, Putin officially announced the resumption of long-range strategic bomber patrols that were common during the Cold War but that disappeared after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
