Today, its missile technology is equipped to punish the enemy severely, with a range of 200 km. According to RAND’s report, more than two decades ago, China had obsolete Russian SA-2 missiles (with a range of roughly 35 km). RAND Corporation did threat modeling by comparing different aspects of military power of US and China. The US can no longer ignore this ever-evolving threat as the Asian superpower has swiftly increased its air and naval power along with its technological might. However, the United States military commanders have more to worry about China than Russia.
Third, the report says the Russian systems are largely designed around single missions. The second reason is the inability of the Russian military commanders to openly report failures. First, it says the Russian military develops a “systemic confirmation bias” because of its tendency to believe any information received as true unless there is contradictory information. The institute believes so for three reasons. The report also says the Ukraine war has shown that the Russian military is “culturally” vulnerable to deception. For example, the offensive and its subsequent failures show that the Russian military commanders continue to execute the last received instructions despite their failure until and unless the orders are countermanded. According to Royal United Services Institute, or RUSI, the Ukraine war has underlined several major weaknesses of the Russian army. Having one of the most powerful militaries in the world, Russia invaded Ukraine with ambitious goals, but soon started to fail and this performance surprised even the most famous think tanks. The war has shown that even the most powerful militaries, despite their huge numbers and technological advancements, can fail to perform against significantly weaker opponents due to a variety of reasons. The surprises seen in the Russia-Ukraine war theater forced military and defense experts to study modern warfighting and its changing dynamics with more depth.
