Abstract
Russia has been trying to develop a modern conventional strike
capability for more than ten years. Although reaching this goal is
still years ahead, the gap appears to be narrowing. Moscow’s plans
for an even more ambitious project, a prompt global strike
capability, are probably only two or three years behind American
efforts. Moscow’s new ability to support a more ambitious foreign
policy will inevitably affect Washington’s calculations.
This project will review the R&D and acquisition programs in these
areas together with Russian military doctrine, Russian nuclear
strategy, Russia’s relations with other nations, missile defense
capabilities, and arms control agreements.
