25.11.2010 Russia hurts its defense capacity by offering newest military developments for export, said respondents of the Central Navy Portal.

According to the poll held among half a thousand visitors of FLOT.com, overwhelming majority says that the country rather loses than acquires any preferences for national budget. Only 10% of respondents support sales of advanced defense products because of their contribution to budget. Finally, almost 9 per cent of pollees assume that arms export is perfect way to get kickbacks.
