Russian Military Forecasting and Analysis: The Military-Political Situation and Military Potential in Strategic Planning
Abstract
Military forecasting informs long-term military planning of the Russian Ministry of Defense. In general, it assists in answering two questions: (1) what is the likelihood and character of future war and (2) what is the correlation of military potential between Russia and possible adversaries? In this report, we draw on a framework developed within the Russian military science community to examine several key indicators related to military forecasting to gain insight into Russian military planning. These indicators include the military-political situation, the correlation of military potential, and Russia's overall level of military security after taking into account strategic deterrence potential.
