Abstract

ABSTRACTConventional high-precision weapons play an increasingly important role in the defense of Russia. They may also in the future be important in bilateral conflicts where Russia wants to force its will through. In general, the Russian debate on these weapons is more preoccupied with defensive than offensive scenarios. However, there are also those who argue that (a) conventional high-precision weapons are likely to increase the role of military force in foreign policy generally around the world; (b) for Russia they may be particularly efficient in conflicts with highly developed states, since these states are especially vulnerable because of their high concentration of critical stationary installations; and (c) these weapons may be particularly efficient in combination with other military capabilities.
