This research bulletin delves into Russia's strategic and military-strate-gic planning, focusing on its unique foresight framework.
Russia's strategic and military-strategic future concept forms the foundation of the state’s long-term security and defense planning. The concept is based on the assessment of the evolution of the military-political situation, analysis of power relations, and modeling of various scenarios. Its key elements include structural changes in the armed forces, emerging military technologies, strategic deterrence mechanisms, and escalation levels in military conflicts.
In its future foresight, Russia applies a multi-layered analysis that integrates mathematical models, economic foresight, geopolitical indicators, and military-strategic scenarios. The concept seeks to identify key risks and opportunities both at the regional and global levels, particularly in the context of great power competition and the development of a multipolar world order.
The study that served as the basis for this Research Bulletin examined the future concept of Russia’s armed forces at the strategic level, considering its implications for military policy, defense planning, and the international security environment.
