普京:俄09年軍費將增27%達到941億美元

中新網莫斯科9月17日電 俄羅斯國際文傳電訊社引述俄羅斯總理普京的話說,俄羅斯2009年的軍費將增長27%,達到2.4萬億盧布。有西方分析人士對此表示“震驚”。
普京說:“2009年將撥出將近2.4萬億盧布(941億美元)支應國防和安全需求。”他說,“這相當於增加27%。”
俄羅斯上個月與格魯吉亞就南奧塞梯問題發生了軍事衝突,目前局勢已經趨於平靜。但美國先後派出多艘軍艦到附近地區,引發了俄羅斯的嚴重關切。
俄羅斯總統梅德韋傑夫和普京都曾指出,在南奧塞梯的戰事已經顯示出俄軍武器和硬體設施有必要進行大幅現代化。
據報導,普京是在16日俄羅斯股票市場暴跌的情況下發表上述言論的。表示,財政部今天向金融市場注資1500億盧布以提供流動性支援,而央行也為此注資了3250億盧布。他說,“明天財政部打算把注資加大一倍,並提議注資3500億盧布”。

Russia plans record $46.5 bln arms spending in 2009
Fri Sep 12, 2008 2:22pm EDT
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian spending on arms will rise to a record $46.5 billion next year, a senior government official said on Friday, as the Kremlin moves to beef up the armed forces after a conflict in Georgia.
Russian national defence orders will rise to 1.2 trillion roubles ($46.55 billion) in 2009, 70 billion roubles higher than previously planned, Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov was shown saying on Russian television.
"We have managed to convince the Finance Ministry that the volume of state defence orders in 2009 will be 70 billion higher than previously planned," Ivanov told Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
"The overall volume of state defence orders next year are planned at a record level of 1.2 trillion roubles," Ivanov said.
State defence orders includes spending on arms by all of Russia's military organizations -- such as the Defence Ministry, Interior Ministry and special services -- as well as repairs and spending on research and development.
Ivanov did not give reasons for the rise but said prices for military goods was rising faster than government inflation forecasts.
President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday the five-day conflict in Georgia last month had shown the armed forces needed modernizing and that problems with equipment needed to be resolved.
Russia provoked an outcry from the West when it sent troops deep into Georgia after repelling a Georgian attack on the Moscow-backed rebel enclave of South Ossetia, which is internationally recognized as part of Georgia.
Putin hiked defence spending during his eight year presidency in an attempt to stop the decline of Russia's once mighty fighting forces.
But domestic critics and former officers say the Russian armed forces are hampered by rampant corruption, poor discipline, faulty equipment and outdated battle plans which still focus on a major land war in Europe.
In Russia's draft budget, spending on "national defence" is set to rise more than a quarter to 1.28 trillion roubles in 2009 from 1.02 trillion roubles this year. A more detailed breakdown of the spending is classified.
Putin also told Ivanov he had approved increases in spending on space programs and that he had signed a decree ordering an addition 67 billion roubles for the Russian GLONASS satellite navigation system.
Putin said an additional 45 billion roubles would be spent on the Federal Space Program over the next three years.
He said the money would be used to build a new cosmodrome in the Far East, finance the International Space Station and help space research.
