no wonder....real modernization only begins recently in 2009 and ends in 2014 for Renstra I.....there will be Renstra II and Renstra III that ends in 2024....by that time the degree sophistication may approach Singapore's...since the annual defense budget will be at least $20 billions

Some of the assets are really old...like BTR-50 and S-60 AAA gun.....but I'm sure they'll decommissioned eventually

I wish we had that kind of money to throw around buying news stuff..

I'm not really into leo2 due to its wieght ~60tons
It is better we stick with below 50ton requirement.
Type10 is my fav as it was the lightest and most advance below 50 tons class.

Still available for order.
They even offer it to us.

Bumerang 8x8 APC (Prototype)



Currently a new family of 8x8 armored vehicles is being developed in Russia. The project is known as the Bumerang (boomerang). A baseline vehicle will be an armored personnel carrier. The new APC will be revealed to Russian military officials in 2013. The whole project is being kept in high secrecy. It is being developed alongside a new-generation Kurganets-25 infantry fighting vehicle.

Once operational this new-generation APC should replace a whole host of ageing Russian armored vehicles. The estimated requirement is at least 2 000 vehicles. First APCs will be delivered to the Russian Army for trials and evaluation in 2013. Once approved, full-scale deliveries are expected to begin in 2015.
