Under President Vladimir Putin, Russia has launched a comprehensive program to restructure its defense industry, which has shrunk dramatically since the Soviet era. This process has achieved some progress, but fundamental structural problems persist that lead Russia to export large quantities of advanced weapons to conflict-prone regions, placing the Kremlin at odds with Europe, the United States, and other countries.
自苏联时代以来，俄罗斯的国防工业大幅度萎缩。在普京统治下，俄国发起了对其重组的全面规划。这一进程取得了某些进展，但是根本性的结构性问题依旧存在，导致俄国向冲突易发地区出口大量的先进武器，从而使得克里姆林宫与欧洲、美国以及其他国家交恶。
