In 2021, Russia had the world’s fifth-highest military expenditure at US$65.9 billion.[17] The Russian Armed Forces possess the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear weapons.[18] They operate the second-largest fleet of ballistic missile submarines,[19] and are one of only three national militaries (alongside those of the United States and China) that operate strategic bombers.[20] With certain exceptions, Russian law mandates one year of military service for all male citizens aged 18–27, though conscripts are generally not deployed outside of Russia.[1][21]
In spite of Russia’s perceived military strength (as recorded in various assessments), deficiencies have been noted in its combat performance on both the tactical and operational scales. According to multiple reports, endemic corruption in the Russian armed forces has had a major impact on weakening the country’s military capabilities.[22][23][24] During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, severe logistical failures have impacted the performance of Russian troops as different service branches have struggled to coordinate and work together, resulting in losses of occupied/annexed territory, manpower, and military equipment.[25][26][27] Researchers from the RAND Corporation have observed that the Russian military continue to struggle with army professionalization.[28]
Directly controlled by the Security Council of Russia, the Russian Armed Forces form part of the country’s defence services under Russian law, fulfilling this capacity alongside the Border Guard of the Federal Security Service, the National Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Protective Service, the Foreign Intelligence Service, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
