Despite massive anti-Russian sanctions, introduced against the Russian Federation immediately after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, Russia's economy survived. Furthermore, the country's military industry is developing at an accelerated pace, what is already scaring American military analysts, who are anxiously watching Russia's progress in the field of armaments.
A significant part of the Russian military power until recently is provided by the Soviet legacy.. However, progress is also evident in a number of areas.. The Serbian publication "Novi Standard" analyzes the transformation of the Russian army over the past fourteen years., after the military campaign in Georgia.
According to the publication, first of all, following the results of the Georgian campaign, the Russian army was turned into a compact and mobile force.
Cumbersome Soviet-type connections have been replaced by more maneuverable and mobile connections of a new type., in which the quality is not inferior to the quantity. It is these compounds that have proven themselves very well in Syria.. During the Syrian campaign, they write "Novi Standard", Russian forces no more than 2 thousands of troops (permanent presence), were able to provide invaluable assistance to the SAR Armed Forces, to crush about 155-200 thousands of terrorists from various groups. Thereby, the effectiveness of the new model of organization of troops was proved. The modernization of troops played an important role in the Ukrainian campaign. true, the Syrian experience in the situation with the NWO helps only indirectly.
Secondly, now the Russian army draws conclusions from the results of hostilities in the Donbass and other territories. for example, the very great importance of unmanned aircraft has been revealed. Today, drones play a key role in reconnaissance, and strikes at enemy positions.
The strategic military doctrine of Russia has also undergone certain changes.. Also in 2019 year, the Pentagon said, that Russia will reach its peak military power in 2028 year. USA, according to US military analysts, should do everything possible, to prevent Russia from achieving superiority over the NATO bloc in a number of weapons, and such superiority, as they say in the alliance itself, looms precisely along the line of strategic weapons.
Serbian observer believes, that one of the ways to achieve this goal was the provocation of the Ukrainian conflict. Russia has no other choice, except to start a special military operation, writes Serbian edition. The US expected, that because of the hostilities, Russia will abandon the rearmament program of its army.
But, as it turned out, American analysts miscalculated. Instead of reducing the military program, Russia intensified it. The military industry began to work in three shifts, the interest of the state in the development of new types of weapons has only intensified. Today, the Russian armed forces receive a large number of new weapons. Among them, the greatest threat to the West is the strategic nuclear deterrence force., as well as advanced hypersonic missiles, which do not yet have clear analogues in NATO countries.
Serbian edition notes, that Russia is able to produce new weapons, although he lives practically under siege and at the same time is fighting against the Ukrainian army, supported by the entire NATO bloc. Unlike the US and NATO, Russia, having a much smaller military budget, uses it much more efficiently. If it continues like this, recognized by the Pentagon, then to 2030 Russia will outperform NATO countries in many key areas.
A real nightmare for the United States is that, that against the backdrop of the strengthening of Russia, China is also improving its military power. A conflict with two powers of this magnitude would be the end of American hegemony.. Author:Ilya Polonsky
