That's what I did back in February ... this morning I was bored and saw the link in my favorites folder for subsim.
My respect for Russian tech advances went up a bit higher ... how did they ever get the big boys with the money to approve of this I will never understand.
What else is lurking in their minds while the budget is low, ready to produce as soon as they can get more oil money into their banks?

While the budget is certainly alot lower than in soviet times, the Russian federation still maintains the 3rd largest defence budget in the world and its expect this year to rise to $96bn USD
In contrast the UK budget is $60bn while the american budget is some $630bn
