I agree with that, it seems that Russian economy is in a much better state than US or Europe at the moment. I think big part of the reason is that Russia inherited state owned military industrial complex from USSR and most of it is still publicly owned. So, weapons production in Russia is much cheaper than in the west because you don't have to go through private sector for anything essential.
