Economic Impact of Military Industrial Complex in Russia

The stability and high job opportunities provided by the military industrial complex in Russia, with workers producing military assets in three shifts, are creating a positive impact on the economy. The dependence on selling oil and gas, particularly to countries in the global south, along with finding new trading partners, is helping Russia navigate western sanctions successfully. This suggests a potential for sustained economic growth through a development loop driven by military production and new market opportunities, unlike the situation in the United States during the Cold War.
