In its present form, that Law does not have any direct effect in the RF legal system. Moreover, it contains so many blanket and reference norms that analysts have begun to doubt the true intentions behind this legislative act. The Law totally ignores the RF President’s calls for the creation of a ‘transparent’ defense economy and his demands that the authorities should streamline the management of the defense-industrial complex and introduce order into its pricing policy.
