What a load of B.S.
That is the hallmark of the narrow-minded, and prejudiced. And the guy who is setting himself...and his nation up for being surprised. It is an attitude of hubris that was previously epitomized by the French Generals (and policy-makers) prior to the German offensive that did their classic blitzkrieg against France...and with smaller and less capable forces (on paper) made mincemeat out of the French Army.
Your thesis accuses the Right of being unduly alarmist about revolutionary technological upgrades in the military forces of avowed adversaries of our nation, when we have 34 items higher on some list of priorities we should be addressing for security.
While I grant that there are some things we should be doing that we are not, usually some economic competition between allocation of resources is NOT the issue. The failure to be doing the other necessary things is usually a result of willful obstructionism by certain security-blind political forces (i.e., such as open-border illegal Mexican migrants, or the almost ostrich-like refusal to allow pilots to pack heat).
Not all text is of equal provenance and equally informative. To argue otherwise is to discard conservative notions of critical thinking and to replace them with postmodern-deconstructionist "thinking."

The fact that you felt the urge to describe the Su-30MKK and the DF-31 as "revolutionary technological upgrades" proves that you're alarmist.
