A New Report Claims Russia's Mighty Missiles Might Not Be So Mighty After-all
Here's why.
by David Axe
Russia's missiles aren't as capable as they might appear to be, the Swedish Defense Research Agency concluded in a new report.
The purported weakness of Russian weapons, relative to expectations, could have a big impact on Sweden's military planning -- and on NATO's own planning, as well.
"Russia's potential to create 'keep-out zones' or anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) 'bubbles' in its near abroad has become a hot topic and a source of concern in recent years," Robert Dalsjo, Christopher Berglund and Michael Jonsson explain in their March 2019 report "Bursting the Bubble."
