Russian Military Doctrine

Russian Military Doctrine outlines the principles and strategies guiding Russia's armed forces. It emphasizes the importance of deterrence, particularly through nuclear capabilities, viewing conflicts through a lens of hybrid warfare, which combines conventional military force with cyber operations and propaganda. The doctrine prioritizes protecting national interests, responding to perceived threats, and maintaining a robust military presence. It reflects a commitment to modernize and adapt the military to current global dynamics, focusing on rapid deployment and joint operations across different domains—land, air, sea, and cyber—to effectively counter both traditional and asymmetric threats.
