Regardless of what the article says, it is well known that GDP (even per capita PPP) is a really shitty measure of a country's productive capabilities or resources.

Russian now spends a whole 40% of state expenditure on security and the armed forces. That's not a good sign for them.

I disagree, of course Russia is spending a ton on the war and yea no shit the war is hurting Russia and Russians but state spending doesn't mean much. Russia can produce its own military gear. India meanwhile despite having double the Russia's GDP PPP is struggling to indegenize its military equipment.
