Arms procurement and the Russian defense industry: challenges up to 2020 / Oxenstierna, Susanne; Westerlund, Fredrik   Journal Article
Westerlund, Fredrik Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The Russian government has launched a new state armament program for the period 2011-2020 in a decisive effort to bring the Russian Armed Forces into the 21st century. This article investigates the prerequisites for the successful fulfillment of this program and assesses the industry's ability to meet the program's demands. The main findings are that the costs of the program are unrealistically high and that deficiencies in the procurement system and in the technologies and performance of the industry present serious challenges and obstacles that will hinder the fulfillment of the program.

Military means for non-military measures: the Russian approach to the use of armed force as seen in Ukraine / Norberg, Johan; Westerlund, Fredrik   Journal Article
Norberg, Johan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Russian Federation’s approach to the use of armed force abroad is a concern for other states. This case study of Russian armed force use against Ukraine in 2014 and 2015 employs an analytical framework based on Russian conceptualizations. Distinguishing between military and non-military means and measures, we analyze Russia’s deployment of armed forces to carry out measures in interstate conflict resolution, focusing on military forces deployed for non-military measures. We find that the use of armed forces in Ukraine largely conforms to Russian conceptualizations, allowing for extensive fighting without it amounting to a military conflict in the Russian view.

Russia's war in Georgia: lessons and consequences / Pallin, Carolina Vendil; Westerlund, Fredrik   Journal Article
Pallin, Carolina Vendil Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The Russian military operation during the Five-Day war in Georgia points to a number of lessons with strategic implications for Russia. The deficiencies in its military performance - not least concerning C4ISR and precision strike capability - have underscored the need for a modernization of the Armed Forces and a diversification of Russia's military capability. Russia needs to arrive at a strategic decision on the priorities for the future development of its military and defence industry: should it prepare for large-scale wars or post-modern warfare and counter-insurgence? In the meantime, the scope of Russian military strategy will be clearly limited and military force will remain a powerful but blunt security policy instrument.
