In 2012 Russian Army will get additional 1.5% financing. Alexey Kudrin, Russian Finance Minister said. The Russian media estimates this fact as a betrayal of state secret. At the economic forum in Krasnoyarsk Kudrin, Finance Minister said Russian Defense Ministry has three main tasks in 2012 - modernization of the army, better supply of militaries and military enterprises development. The Ministry will get for 1,5 % more than earlier expenses were.
Experts say in such case Russian expenses for militarization will exceed USA's ones and Russia will be in a second place after Israel in this respect. The expense for militarizing will amount to 4, 1 % that is 1.8 trillion Russian rubles.
Such declaration questions rose with whom Russia is going to fight? Georgia is too small for such expenses; maybe this is necessary to threat somebody in Far East
