Depends on what tech you're talking about. Some areas are not developonig has rapidly as electronics, computers and software. For instance russian jet fighters are still very much on top in many respects, but their avioncis/radar/target tracking suck big time comparing to modern american/french fighters. (and THAT I heard from a friend who's russian defence contractor).
