General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces

The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces is the main coordinating and planning body responsible for developing military strategy, managing operations, and overseeing the readiness of Russia’s armed forces. It advises the top military and political leaders, ensures effective communication among different branches (army, navy, air force), and plans how to defend the country or conduct military missions. Essentially, it functions as the brain behind Russia’s military activities, ensuring all branches work together efficiently and according to strategic objectives.
