Оборонный бюджет Азербайджана в 2016 году составит 1.837 миллиарда манатов

Сегодня Азербайджан объявил бюджет на свои основные военные расходы на 2016 год. По бюджетной смете расходы составят 1.837 миллиарда манатов, небольшое увеличение по сравнению с бюджетом 2015 года, который составил 1,778 миллиарда манатов. Расходы по этой статье бюджета, как правило, включают в себя большую часть внутренних расходов.

Однако, пока еще не ясно каким будет бюджет "специальных оборонных проектов" на 2016 год. Этот бюджет обычно включает в себя затраты на приобретение иностранных вооружений. Закупки, как правило, происходят в долларах США. Азербайджан недавно пережил резкую девальвацию своей валюты, и, вероятно, это окажет влияние на приобретение вооружений в 2016 году.
