    Russia: Fifth Of Defense Budget Stolen

    Russia which is already well known to lose large amounts of money to corruption and fraud. Is estimated to have lost a fifth of it's allocations to defense from corruption, which has hampered much of the state's military reforms and modernization program.

    * Please note-I misread the title and thought it said "one-fifth" instead of "fifth"

    Kind of surprising with the way that Medvedev was boasting not long ago how much influx the Russian military was going to recieve. With what he had on the list (including the Kirovs) back in service that's alot of money if every "fifth" rubble is missing to the listed causes.

    Im thinking a bit more shocked then surprised.

      personally i'm shocked that the chief military prosecutor is talking only about a fifth of military budget, which has nothing to do with the real scale of corruption in Russian siystem of military procurements.
