Abstract

Russia's war with Georgia highlighted the weaknesses of its armed forces. Recent reforms have sought to redress structural problems, but the political will needed to give Russia a modern, professional army – able to fight limited, regional wars – is still insufficient. Moscow needs to fully embrace the end of conscription, the integration of state-of-the-art military hardware and wider political reform.
