We are planning to buy 69 [Topol-M] systems by 2015," Sergei Ivanov said at a meeting with defense industry officials in the Volgograd Region.

Ivanov, who is also a deputy prime minister, said the defense ministry was also planning to procure 60 Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile systems to equip five missile brigades, 57 Sprut-SD self-propelled guns, 499 Rakushka airborne armored personnel carriers, and several Bereg mobile coastal artillery systems.

The defense minister earlier said that Russia's 2006 defense order would total $9 billion and increase by 20% to 303.7 bln rubles ($11.2 bln) in 2007.

However, Ivanov reiterated that defense industry enterprises should not rely solely on increasing state orders and must rapidly develop production of dual-purpose and civilian goods to stay competitive.

America spends nearly 450 billion dollars in defense, can Russia regain military dominance in the future
