Russia by the end of the year will clarify its military doctrine - as said in an interview Last news Deputy Secretary of the security Council of the Russian Federation Mikhail Popov, this requires the development of military-political situation in the world in recent years.
Interviewed Last news experts believe that to link the adjustment document only with the situation in Ukraine is not - this is a logical step that will give the opportunity to lead in congruence with the realities of the outdated provisions of the Armed forces.
at the same time, they stress, relations between Russia And the West over the past four years has undergone significant changes, for this reason nobody will be surprised if the probable opponents of the doctrine will be named the USA And NATO, not just one month leading an active anti-Russian rhetoric And initiated the introduction of sanctions against Russia.
According to Mikhail Popov, the development of military-political situation in the world in recent years, the features of warfare on the modern stage require clarification of certain provisions of the military doctrine.
" in the 1st and foremost, this is due to the emergence of new military dangers And military threats to the Russian Federation, which was manifested in the events of the " Arab spring ", in the armed conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic, And similarly in the situation in Ukraine And around it, " - said the head of the Department.
In addition to the classical forms And ways of use of military power, in the battle of the leading countries for their desires typical steel " indirect action ", the use of radical And extremist organizations, private military organizations And the involvement of protest potential residents, showed the Deputy Secretary of the Russian security Council.
" The more obvious becomes the desire of the US And countries-NATO members to increase their strategic offensive potential through the development of a global MISSILE defense system, the adoption of new strategic concepts for the use of troops And forces, the development of fundamentally new means of armed struggle, as well As among them hypersonic weapons, " - said the head of the Department.
In addition, the military doctrine of the need to Supplement in connection with changes in the structure of the military power of the Russian Federation: for example, were created Forces aerospace defense - And the adoption of the revised law " on defence ", the provisions of the General staff, And so forth, said Popov.
Academician Alexei Arbatov called making changes in military doctrine logical step: relations between Russia And the West over the past four years has undergone significant changes.
" Previous doctrine was adopted in 2010, since then the situation very seriously changed significantly, And it is logical that the military doctrine of the changes were made, " said the doctor of historical Sciences.
according to him, the military doctrine is a document that aims to " send a signal And foreign countries, And the public And the political elite in the country ".
Moreover, the expert says, the military doctrine of 2010 anticipated future developments - she has put NATO among the main external threats to the Russian Federation at the stage when the relationship between the Alliance And Russia were against good.
" NATO is now occupied the place which the doctrine of 2010 she was allotted, " he added Arbatov.
" in the doctrine of the 2010 NATO is not directly mentioned, it said expanding borders of other military alliances to the Russian borders, the expansion of military alliances. Now that NATO And the US open will be announced in doctrine as the main danger, " said the Academician.
Similar opinion was expressed by Deputy Department of the state Duma defense Committee Franz Klintsevich ( " United Russia " ). He is convinced that Russia's military doctrine must be clearly marked with the real enemy.
" Our military doctrine was without a clear designation of the real enemy. And given the conversations, actions, deeds real enemy will be marked. And they must know that we realize who the real enemy, " said the Klintsevich, More than Twenty years served in the ranks of the military power of the USSR And Russia.
according to him, today the real enemy of NATO, but at the same time we recognise that the work of intelligence, aggressive desires are able to happen from different sides And, Very important, have the ability to be used country-provocateurs ".
according to the comments of the President of the Academy of geopolitical issues Konstantin Sivkov, even without acute foreign policy provisions clarify the doctrine of the result would be immediate: included data on the composition And abundance of the armed forces are long gone.
" it (the doctrine 2010) does not contain any clear criteria by which it would become possible to fix the number, the equipment And the principles of military power. There is a very fuzzy concept, there are no clear definitions. We need to radically remake, it does not meet the requirements documents of this type, " the mad doctor of military Sciences.
Moreover, said the head of the Department, it is impossible to adjust long-term documents based on the current political situation in the world.
" To link the development of doctrine to Ukraine And NATO's actions are wrong. The conflict in Ukraine will End during the year, NATO will move to the East for 1, 5 - a maximum of 5 years, but the doctrine is accepted for decades, " He explained.
I agree with him, the Professor of faculty of world politics, Moscow state University Anatoly Tsyganok. However, according to the expert, " the current military doctrine is too old And needs to increase the " shelf life ": " apparently, the military doctrine should be established on the much longer period. Twenty years a bit, it should at least twenty-five years ".
