Vladimir Putin's Army Built to Reassert Russian Influence in a Modern World

Vladimir Putin's Army Built to Reassert Russian Influence in a Modern World

LONDON — In 2008, Russian troops invaded the neighboring country of Georgia and helped two rebellious provinces break away from the republic. While that military adventure was, in Moscow’s eyes, a success, it also made clear to Russian authorities that their armed forces were hobbled by aging equipment and a clunky chain of command designed to fight past wars. In the seven years since, Moscow has poured enormous amounts of money into its military while remolding it into a more modern, flexible and scalable force.

It’s now ideally suited to fight so-called hybrid, or asymmetric, wars that eschew full-scale assaults for sleight-of-hand tactics, including fomenting insurgencies, covert and special-operations measures, terrorism, cyberattacks and propaganda. And while that transformation remains a work in progress, the new-model Russian army is already being put into action with the goal of splintering NATO, thus allowing Moscow to destabilize and regain control over many of its Eastern European neighbors, Russia analysts say. Ultimately, they add, the post-communist Russia of President Vladimir Putin, who has led the country with an iron grip for 15 years, hopes to remake itself into a global superpower.

“Do not underestimate their military capabilities,” says Igor Sutyagin, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a London defense think tank. “It would be difficult for them to sustain a confrontation well into the long term, but they have enough resources to create huge problems. Russia’s overall objective is changing the world order; it wants to have its seat back at the world table.” And, he says, it believes the best way to do that is to undermine the NATO alliance and make the U.S. and Western Europe “wary of challenging Russia in its sphere of influence.”

Russia used hybrid war tactics a year ago when it annexed Crimea from neighboring Ukraine and began supporting Russian-speaking separatists in Donbass, in eastern Ukraine. That conflict has shown that “Russia does not need to invade (a neighboring country) to achieve the objective of returning it to Moscow’s sphere of influence,” notes Keir Giles, a Russia and international security expert at the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The main Russian force remained on its side of the border. “It was used as a political tool, not a military tool.”

A shaky cease-fire is now in effect in Ukraine, but it’s widely anticipated that the Kremlin will next turn its attention to the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which were once annexed by the Soviet Union. Latvia shares a long border with Russia, and 40 percent of its people are Russian-speaking.

But unlike Ukraine, the Baltics are also members of NATO. And Article 5 of the NATO constitution requires the alliance to consider an attack on any one member an attack on the entire body. That makes a full-scale Russian invasion on any of the three countries unlikely. Still, there are fears Russia will increase hybrid attacks aimed at sparking unrest. They could be “structured and calibrated to be just under the threshold to trigger a NATO response,” Giles says. Adds Andrew Foxall, director of the Russia Studies Centre at The Henry Jackson Society, a London think tank: “The objective is not to roll tanks into Tallinn (the capital of Estonia), but to make the West look weak.” Discord among NATO members that leads to inaction could destroy the alliance’s credibility and render it obsolete.

Some provocative actions have already begun. Russian military exercises are becoming commonplace along the borders of Estonia and Latvia. And last fall, Russian agents snatched an Estonian security forces official. He’s now languishing in a Moscow prison.

NATO has responded by recently agreeing to set up a Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF), a 5,000-troop special unit that could deploy within 48 hours to swiftly counter any incursions into a NATO country. But Sutyagin wonders how willing NATO will be to put the VJTF into operation: What if Russia opted to occupy only a small sliver of, say, Latvia? “Would NATO inflict huge losses on the local population to reclaim it?” he asks.

And, of course, Russia remains a nuclear power. Last week, John Sawers, the recently retired head of MI6, Britain’s intelligence agency, told BBC Radio 4 that there’s a risk that a brush fire conflict in Eastern Europe could expand into something akin to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union nearly came to blows over Moscow’s efforts to base nuclear missiles in Cuba, 90 miles off the coast of Florida.

“Mercifully, that’s unlikely,” Giles says of another Cuba-type crisis, but he admits the rhetoric coming out of Moscow is at times scary: “A nuclear exchange is discussed as a realistic prospect.” Adds Sutyagin: “Who knows how mad Putin is in reality? It is probably a bluff, but it is a very good bluff,” because Russia’s nuclear inventory remains potent.

Perhaps as part of that bluff, Russian warplanes have increasingly been creeping toward the airspace of NATO members. Last month, for example, two Russian Bear bombers flew close to the Cornish coast and were met and escorted away by Royal Air Force fighters. Russian warplanes have also had a few near-misses in commercial airspace, most recently last week when a passenger jethad to maneuver out of the paths of two Russian bombers in Irish-controlled airspace. These flybys allow Russian pilots to regain war-footing experience that’s been lost since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, and to collect useful intelligence on the capabilities and tactics of Western air forces, so the Kremlin thinks they’re worth the risks they entail.

Over the last five years, the defense spending of NATO nations has fallen 20 percent while Russian military spending has jumped 80 percent, and the Kremlin remains committed to spending a whopping 40 percent of its national budget on security and defense. In past years, prodigious oil and gas revenues helped finance that generous defense outlay. But a free fall in the price of oil and Western sanctions have combined to decimate the Russian economy. It’s reeling from soaring inflation – the average household now spends half of its income on food alone – and sky-high interest rates. Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, predicts that “the Russian economy could be in deep crisis by the middle of this year.” A fall in Russian gross domestic product of 10 percent is not inconceivable, he says.

Nevertheless, Putin so far remains popular at home, and no one seems to think mass protests are in the offing anytime soon. “The Russians have an ability to withstand suffering,” Sutyagin says. And Moscow’s finely tuned propaganda machine does a good job of convincing Russians that a Western conspiracy is behind their economic woes. Initially, Foxall says, “Putin’s bargain to his people was, ‘Give up your civil liberties to me and I will give you a better standard of living.’ Now it seems to be, ‘I will give you glory and respect.’” Glory and respect do not put food on the table, but it’s an outcome that, for now at least, most Russians think is worth the sacrifice.

Propagandists no longer have to convince professional news organizations to spread their stories; they just have to embed them into social media news feeds. Employees of the Russian propaganda machine, in particular, seem to be focused on finding ways to game the modern news delivery system. And though their techniques aren't yet perfect, they're making significant progress.
