Course not. It has collapsed due to many factors. The military overspending was far not the worst one. First of all, all the Soviet economics was rotten and it wasn't able to exist in the modern world. The people were not agree to live this way and the government too (that's why Gorbachev has started his reforms). And the final nail into the Soviet coffin was serious
drop in oil price.
So the military overspending was of of the factors, but it was definitely not enough to collapse the USSR.
P.S. The USSR has collapsed when Cold War was
already over.
