MOSCOW, May 6 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's state defense order will increase by 20% to 303.7 bln rubles ($11.2 bln) in 2007, a government minister said Saturday.

"The state defense order is growing more that 20% in comparable prices," said Vladislav Putilin, who is also first deputy head of the newly created state defense committee.
