Part one addresses President Vladimir Putin's personality, Russian methods of developing strategy, and the Russian thought process for evaluating military affairs (forecasting, correlation of forces, forms, and methods of thought). Part two addresses the nature of future war, focusing on future war's new weapons and organizations (to include aerospace, robotics, electronic warfare equipment, and unmanned aerial vehicles, among other pieces of equipment) and the DARPA-like organizations that have been created to increase Russia's focus on science and technology developments. Part three address geopolitics, in particular the Russian militarization of the Arctic and the rationale behind their operations in Ukraine. All three parts help analysts in their attempts to uncover the vector (s) in which Russian military capabilities and actions are heading. The nation's theorists have absorbed lessons learned from the contemporary conflicts of others and placed increased focus on the development of new technologies to protect their national interests and attain specific strategic goals.Russia Military StrategyGeopoliticsGeopoliticsfastMilitary policyfastRussia (Federation)Military policyRussia (Federation)fastGeopolitics.Geopolitics.Military policy.Thomas Timothy L.1387443Foreign Military Studies Office (Fort Leavenworth, Kan.),ND@ND@OCLCAOCLGPOBOOK9910714177503321Russia military strategy3447656UNINA
