Kremlin Begins the Information and Psychological Phase of the Campaign to Prepare for a Possible Future war Between NATO and Russia
The Russian Federation’s ongoing diversionary activities in Europe, including the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), capable of gathering intelligence, indicate that the Kremlin has already begun the information and psychological phase of its campaign to prepare for a possible future war between NATO and Russia. This is according to the latest analytical report by the American Institute for the Study of War.
Russia’s capabilities in the field of long-range strikes and UAV production pose an ‘immediate threat’ to NATO, and Moscow continues its efforts to build up its army. This suggests that after the end of the war in Ukraine, Russia will be ready to quickly deploy troops to NATO’s eastern flank.
The Russian defence industry is implementing long-term plans to increase production of T-90 tanks and restore Russia’s tank fleet to pre-war levels, indicating its intention to pose a long-term military threat to NATO.
At the same time, Russia is developing concepts of operations and tactics of warfare that allow it to conduct large-scale combat operations without the use of large numbers of tanks and armoured vehicles.
