Why take these weapons to exercise?

First of all, this is a response in under the weight of the emergency, some of the newer missile technology to prepare the required time, for the present situation is concerned it was too late.

In addition, since it is through these actions to the United States and the West to convey a tough stance, which requires missile tests can only succeed, not fail. So, with some relatively mature model better reliability, greater grasp.

from these areas to analyze the Russian military action of these cells are largely post-conflict against Russia from the United States and Western pressure on a rebound, or a kind of emergency response.

only emergency response?

recent years, Russia has endured from the United States, the West, NATO’s enormous pressure, including a direct military pressure.

NATO expansion and missile defense systems

the pace of NATO enlargement has not stopped. NATO’s eastward expansion, the United States had given Russia before making a series of different forms of guarantees, promises there will be limits of NATO’s eastward expansion. But these promises soon proved not materialized.

issue of U.S. missile defense system missile defense system on the first claim only for the so-called “rogue” countries. Then, they imply for some of the rapid rise of Asian countries and other directions. But in the end, or the anti-missile system the United States moved to Russia’s doorstep.

This is a gradual process.

this process on the one hand to Russia was an increasing pressure; the other hand, let Russia know that the United States and the West made it all the promises can not be implemented.

Russia can only rely on their own.

not just emergency response

In this situation, Russia has been strengthening in recent years, military construction, reform of military strategy. July 31, 2008, the United States released new version of “national defense strategy.” Just over 1 day, 1 August 2008, Russian media reported that Russian “strategic vision 2030 the construction arm” of the development is nearing completion. This is the latest version of Russia’s strategic vision.

2008 No. 10 of “World Military” magazine issued an article entitled “U.S. and Russia with a new strategy,” the commentary for both U.S. and Russia before the conflict the Russian grid release some of the new strategy document situation analysis. And this analysis of the situation just grid reflects the Russian military conflict, after a series of tough Russian move.

so we can see that, before the conflict in the Russian grid, Russia had already begun to put forward a new strategic concept. This shows that Russia is the continuity of this series of moves, not just a conflict for the Russian grid emergency response.

U.S. “soft” Russian “hard”

If we further analyze the two Russian-US strategic documents will find the U.S. version of “national defense strategy” some bias in the literal sense of “soft.” Russia’s “strategic vision 2030 the construction arm,” said the current situation from the performance of a very “hard.”

so-called “soft” refers to the new U.S. “national defense strategy” in the extensive use of soft words: “soft power”, “cooperative security”, “comprehensive security”, “communication”, “shape” , “mitigation” and so on. Russia’s “strategic vision 2030 the construction arm,” the reality is more emphasis on strength building, such as professional military, troops compiled adjustments, strengthen the weapons and equipment.

This creates a great contrast.

recent years, US-Russian relations in the United States has been on the offensive, the Russian side on the defensive. Why, then, the U.S. version of “national defense strategy” was a bit “soft” and Russia “strategic concept of 2030 before the armed construction” is manifested in a very “hard” mean?

In fact, this just reflects the shift in power in recent years, both the objective situation.
