Last week, we talked about some of the ways the Russian military has changed since 2022. But it’s October 2026 and the war isn’t over, which makes the likely Russian military of 2027 as important to understand as the one that one that exists today.
And so in the second and final part of my discussion with Michael Kofman we talked about the trends of the Russian military going into 2027 and beyond (including potential post war challenges and opportunities) and how that might impact NATO force modernisation efforts.
