In November 2006, the Russian government approved the State Armament Program for 2007-2015. According to missiles.ru, "for the first time in the history of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the State Armament Program provides for batch orders for equipping units and subunits, rather than individual item procurement."

Over 60bn rub. is allocated by the program for development and production of future airborne munitions. Major efforts will be concentrated on development of electronic components, rocket engines, creation of electro-optical matrix homing systems, multi-mode seeker heads and other aviation munition elements.
Naval combat units will incorporate 2 multirole nuclear submarines, 4 diesel submarines, 12 surface vessels and 5 corvettes of various types. Series production and scheduled introduction into service of 5-8 project 955/955A SSBNs is planned."
