One third of this money – over RUR 1.5 trillions – will be appropriated within the next 5 years, added Putin.
According to the prime minister, the program will imply renovation and reinforcing of naval facilities, establishment of naval strategic nuclear force consisting of 4-generation subs, procurement of advanced surface ships, repair and modernization of in-service hardware.
Total financing of the prospect program makes RUR 20 trillions which is thrice as much as the current program has.
