Comprehensive report of the World Wide Web, according to the Voice of Russia website reported on February 18, the United States in 2020 as a global military presence pattern change. Former U.S. Defense Secretary Panetta at the 2012 Asian Security Summit - the Shangri-La Dialogue conference said that, by 2020 there will be 60% ​​of U.S. warships deployed in the Pacific, including six aircraft carriers as well as most of the cruisers, destroyers, submarines and Littoral Combat ship.

Either Russia or of China's armed forces in 2020, are also important. To modern weapons in the Russian army in 2020 the proportion will reach 70%. China hope to achieve important results in the process of modernization of the armed forces before the arrival in 2020. Russian Strategy and Technology Analysis Center expert Valery card application special write this article Analysis of Russia and China's military modernization.

Substantial increase in expenditure for the purchase of new weapons in 2008, the Russian army has entered a new stage of the upgrade weapons and equipment. Modern weapons in the Russian army in production after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the past five years, the proportion rose to 16% from 6%.

At present, the Russian armed forces, the Soviet Union the last 5-10 years, the production of weapons. Actual weapons production in Russia in 1992 after a sharp decline in the scale of non-nuclear weapons production in the next 15 years, mainly for export.

In 2020, before the arrival of the Russian Su-35S, Su-34SM, and fifth-generation fighter PAK FA will seek to replace the existing Su-27 and MiG-29 fighter. The Su-34 bomber will replace the Su-24 attack aircraft. Existing infantry ordnance will be heavy-duty ("Armata"), medium-sized (Kurgan -25 ") and light (" Dart "), three multipurpose combat platform alternative. The air defense mission of the burden borne by the S-400 and S-500 air defense missile systems to. In addition, for all infantry missile brigade equipped with the new "Iskander".

, As noted by the Russian military expert Vasily Kashin, Russia's new weapons instead of the old Soviet weapons need more than a decade's time. Replace the old-fashioned Soviet the slowest sea battle ship: Overall, the navy until now not knowing What are the military requirements. The new aircraft carrier project is still in the discussion stage, like carrying a new air defense system and similar the the U.S. AEGIS multifunction weapons operating system heavy destroyers. On the contrary, the submarine fleet received priority attention. At the same time a considerable part of the new nuclear submarines to carry cruise missiles "ash tree" and "north wind class" submarines bound for the Pacific.

The process of modernization of the Russian armed forces much like the Chinese, just late start of 10-15 years. Half of Chinese heavy weapons production in the 1970s reached its peak. From the late 1970s to the mid-90's weapons production stagnated, resulting in the beginning of this century the Chinese army ordnance during the Cold War produced mainly.

Even now, a lot of these ordnance share. For example, the old-fashioned ballistic missile DF-4, DF-5 is still an important part of China's strategic nuclear forces. Although China has made ​​brilliant achievements of military technology, replacing the old-fashioned system of production 40 years ago is not easy. To their use than originally stipulated deadline be extended for a further 20 years, the army had carried out a special study. Lifetime of service in these massive systems missile forces feats veterans are invited to stay behind after they reach retirement age, because no one to replace them.

Only in 2010, F-6 was from the Chinese Air Force all retired, while the second-generation fighter, the F-7 is still in use. Vintage army tanks - 59, 79 perhaps until now more than a new tank - Type 96 and Type 99. The armed forces there are thousands of doors of the artillery of the Soviet Union 50 years in service. The PLA is rapidly replace all those old-fashioned military. Meanwhile, the Chinese in 2020 as a an important year in its own military modernization process and then achieve substantial results in the field.
