Given the vast majority of their conventional kit is legacy Soviet stuff, I wonder how much they would realistically need to spend to put them on par with NATO or China? Probably more money than their economy will generate for years and years.
Modenising their kit is one thing. How do they modernise the incompetent barbarians operating it? I wonder if their Navy is just as bad.
