Russia has a large and sophisticated arms industry, capable of designing and manufacturing high-tech military equipment, including a [[Sukhoi PAK FA|fifth-generation fighter jet]], [[Nuclear submarine|nuclear powered submarines]], [[firearm]]s, and [[Ballistic missile|short range/long range ballistic missiles]]. It is the world's second-largest exporter of arms, behind only the United States.<ref name="CIAWFRS"/> ====Aerospace==== [[File:Sukhoi Superjet 100 prototype.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Sukhoi Superjet 100]] is one of Russia's most recent civilian aviation products.

The Russian aircraft industry offers a portfolio of internationally competitive military aircraft such as [[MiG-29]] and [[Su-30]], while new projects such as the [[Sukhoi Superjet 100]] are hoped to revive the fortunes of the civilian aircraft segment. In 2009, companies belonging to the [[United Aircraft Corporation]] delivered 95 new fixed-wing aircraft to its customers, including 15 civilian models. In addition, the industry produced over 141 helicopters. It is one of the most science-intensive hi-tech sectors and employs the largest number of skilled personnel. The production and value of the military aircraft branch far outstrips other defence industry sectors, and aircraft products make up more than half of the country's arms exports.<ref name="manturov">{{cite journal|url=http://dlib.eastview.com/browse/doc/20573392|title=Prospects for the Domestic Aircraft Industry|last1=Manturov|first1=Denis|journal=Military Parade|issue=4|year=2009|pages=8β9|access-date=15 September 2010|archive-date=25 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125171520/https://dlib.eastview.com/browse/doc/20573392|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Space industry of Russia]] consists of over 100 companies and employs 250,000 people.<ref name="mdb">{{cite journal|last=Ionin|first=Andrey|title=Russia's Space Program in 2006: Some Progress but No Clear Direction|journal=[[Moscow Defense Brief]]|publisher=Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies|issue=2(#8)|url=http://mdb.cast.ru/mdb/2-2007/item1/item3/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070827204307/http://mdb.cast.ru/mdb/2-2007/item1/item3/|archive-date=27 August 2007}}</ref> ====Automotive industry==== {{main|Automotive industry in Russia}} [[File:Lada Vesta Concept.JPG|thumb|[[Lada]] is a brand of [[AvtoVAZ]], the largest Russian car manufacturer in the [[Russian automotive industry]].]] [[File:2018 inauguration of Vladimir Putin 26.jpg|thumb|[[Aurus Senat]], a recent [[armoured limousine]] project by [[NAMI (automotive institute)|NAMI]]]] Automotive production is a significant industry in Russia, directly employing around 600,000 people or 1% of the country's total workforce.
