and NOW ?, gas/petrol is the only export from mother Russia ...........
who sold once mighty Pacific fleet as scrap metal ($ 200 000 per sub )
Stop with that already.
-Russia is the second largest arms exporter in the world. Growing every year.
-Rosatom is the largest npp builder in the world with portfolio full of orders for a decade plus maintenance and supply contracts all over the place.
-Russia is responsible for most of the satellite launches and close to 100% of human launches into space.
-Aviation industry is getting back on its feet
-Hell, Russian company T-Platforms delivered a 'supercomputer' to State university of New York back in 2012
(same company has built the 3rd fastest supercomputer in Europe for Moscow uni)
-Russia has become the 9th most popular destination in the world for tourists
-Russia has internet and it-companies like Kaspersky
Russia’s Top Cyber Sleuth Foils US Spies, Helps Kremlin Palshttp://www.wired.com/2012/07/ff_kaspersky/all/ or Yandex (the 4th largest search engine)
-Russian software exports have been growing at rate like 20% annually (Russian software exports reach 5.2 billion dollars in 2013,

Plus no one sold the fukin' submarines to scrap metal WTF!!Seriously. Decommissioning old and useless vessels is a general practice.
But luckily, all the Russian shipyards have hands full with new subs. Nuclear and diesel-electric They make them in shifts
Look, this fokker shipyard seems to have two parallel sub construction lines rolling simultaneously
Mother and baby subs
The lost 20 years sure left helluva mark in Russia and everything is inefficient and difficult as fuck. But it can manufacture whatever it wants if it's wanted enough.
NOW, WHAT can YOUR floating cangaroo land make?
And don't list some yankee stuff! It has nothing to do with your sorry ass floating desert.
