Russias Military Might

The book results from a new research project conducted at the Royal Danish Defence College, which aimed to examine the Russian Armed Forces in depth. The project thus differs from its predecessor "Kreml i krig" (The Kremlin at War) by focussing more on the Russian military: Both in terms of analysing its capacities and capabilities and in terms of exploring the structure of the armed forces and their exercise patterns, together with the country's strategic culture, may reveal about the possible deployment of its military instrument.

The research group consists mainly of military analysts and includes the college's own and external Russia researchers. The work has been characterised by the ambition not only to describe the Russian Armed Forces but also to contribute to the discussion on how to do so in a professional manner.
