Russia's GDP ranked 12th in the world in 2018, and you may think that this ranking is still quite eye-catching, but for Russia's position in the world and Russia's military strength, it is quite in the middle of the economic disadvantage. And with the world's 12th highest GDP to support the world's 4th highest defense spending, that's a very asymmetric ratio, especially for a country that's been going downhill economically!
