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. 517 $aRussia Military Strategy 606 $aGeopolitics 606 $aGeopolitics$2fast 606 $aMilitary policy$2fast 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xMilitary policy 607 $aRussia (Federation)$2fast 615 0$aGeopolitics. 615 7$aGeopolitics. 615 7$aMilitary policy. 700 $aThomas$b Timothy L.$01387443 712 02$aForeign Military Studies Office (Fort Leavenworth, Kan.), 801 0$bND@ 801 1$bND@ 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910714177503321 996 $aRussia military strategy$93447656 997 $aUNINA
