A Finnish National Defence University study examines how political, economic, and technological factors will shape Russia's post-war military development.

A new study published by the Finnish National Defence University examines the long-term future of Russia's armed forces following its war against Ukraine. Edited by Pentti Forsström, the collective volume, titled "Russia’s War Against Ukraine – Russia’s Future Military Development," expands beyond traditional metrics such as weapon stockpiles, personnel numbers, and arms production outputs.

The research evaluates a broader array of structural influences, incorporating political, economic, societal, technological, and strategic military factors that are expected to shape Moscow's capabilities. By assessing these multi-faceted dynamics, the publication provides an analytical framework on how the Russian military apparatus may adapt, rebuild, and restructure in the post-conflict era.
