I rather doubt that. The infrastructure required to produce truly modern weapons seems unlikely to exist in Russia. And to the extent it might ... well, bureaucracy and corruption will seriously hamper their efforts.

Even at its height, the Soviet Union was not at our level. They are now a shadow of what they were.

Those weapons won't do much good if they have soldiers who can't operate them. I think this might be another way to pump more money into the defense sector (industry) and the weapons will end up on the market.
