		These figures indicate that 43 percent of ground forces personnel are officers, an extraordinarily high percentage that reflects the Soviet and Russian tradition of giving little authority to the enlisted ranks, as well as the vestiges of the much larger military cadre inherited from the Soviet army.
		The second force group, the Group of Russian Forces in the Transcaucasus, stationed in Armenia and Georgia, is operationally subordinate to the ground forces command (see The Commonwealth of Independent States, this ch.).
		The Northwest Group of Forces is an administrative title given to ground forces headquarters in Kaliningrad, whose troops are under the command of the 11th Independent Army.

	Russian Military Reform - CDI Military Reform Project
		America's armed forces have embarked upon programs which aim to fundamentally transform the U.S. military to face the new challenges of the 21st century, where previously common cross-border warfare is being superceded by internal wars, peacekeeping missions, and anti-terrorist efforts.
		This emphasis on strategic force made sense as a nuclear shield to protect Russia while the conventional forces were rebuilt.
		While Western forces are transforming to meet future challenges, the Russian armed forces have still not fully recovered from the collapse of the Soviet Union, and are having severe difficulties carrying out their present duties.

		The Russian command ensured that the advancing force would not be surprised on their entry into the city and deployed special small units for urban reconnaissance.
		As the Russian force focused on the tops of buildings or on windows, they were often attacked from the trenches, a sort of attack by misdirection.
		The Russians used an indirect approach to surround the city and inflict damage from afar, outside the range of RPGs that had decimated the Russian force in the city in 1995.

	The Future of the Russian Military: Managing Geopolitical Change and Institutional Decline
		Today's Russian armed forces are facing their deepest crisis since the fiascoes of the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. Both of these earlier defeats led to revolutions and the eventual collapse of the Romanov empire.
		The poor combat performance of the Russian armed forces in Chechnya can be attributed to two key problems: the neglect of the military over the last several years and the failure of the military itself to learn the lessons of Afghanistan and adapt to the realities of combat in local wars.
		Russian journalists suggested that the quarrel over the re-subordination of airborne units was actually a matter of making the force available to President Yeltsin in case there was a need to impose a state of emergency in connection with the June-July 1996 presidential elections.

	THE RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES AS A FACTOR IN REGIONAL STABILITY
		The viability of the Russian armed forces is clearly a major factor in the stability of not just Russia but the rest of central and eastern Europe and has implications for the armed forces of the West as well.
		The abolition of the ground forces headquarters as a separate command is likely to hinder the development of an appropriate doctrine for "low intensity operations" because the ground forces are obviously most responsible for the conduct of such operations.
		In mid-1998, as the Russian government tries to limit the damage caused by the turmoil in the Far Eastern economies, we are reminded that events outside Russia may have the most radical impact on the health of Russia’s armed forces.

	Q: Russian Ground Forces organization - Military Photos
		On September 30 Russian troops moved into Chechnya and in a couple of weeks captured the northern part of the province, which is populated mainly by Russians.
		Russian aviation, of course, is not as effective as it was 10 years ago.
		Russian planes in Chechnya used long-range IR or TV missiles to attack oil refineries, reinforced positions, etc. If a targets position is know and fixed, the type of weapon you would use depends on target's properties and defenses.

		To do so, the Russian senior officer corps will be cut, new force structures will be adopted, expanded arms exports will provide funds for research and development, and the Russian Army will try to avoid contingency operations which detract from reform, restructuring and combat-readiness.
		Since financial constraints restrain the size of the ground forces, General Rodionov is determined to rid the force of its hollow divisions and convert the few that remain into a combat-ready, professional force that will serve Russia and serve as a basis for expansion in time of crisis.
		Mobility, sustainability and combat power are the key components for future Russian ground forces and airborne forces need to become combined arms to meet the challenges of national defense.

	EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Moscow Warily Tracks Tbilisi’s Moves in the Kodori Gorge
		Many Russian policymakers and analysts believe that Georgia’s Kodori operation is part of a multi-staged plan to bring the breakaway province of Abkhazia back into Tbilisi’s fold.
		Russian analysts say that a distinction must be made between the two sets of measures that Saakashvili said would be taken immediately to pacify the Kodori population.
		From the very outset, the Russian side rejected Georgia’s argument that it was carrying out a "police operation." The Kremlin instead insisted it was a "military operation" in clear violation of the 1994 Moscow agreement on a Georgian-Abkhaz ceasefire.

	ISN Security Watch - Russian UAVs making a comeback
		According to another report published in September 2003 by the same publication along with other Russian-language reports, during the Chechen conflict, unmanned aerial vehicles proved to be indispensable systems for the Russian ground forces, but the Russian military experts and high-ranking officers of the armed forces in particular seriously underestimated their importance.
		In an interview with Jane's Defence Weekly in 1998, Colonel Valery Barkovski, the Russian Air Forceâs Head of Procurement for UAVs during the Chechen conflict, said one of the most pressing requirements that emerged during Russiaâs UAV operations in Chechnya was the ability to deal with multiple objectives and targets.
		The Yakovlev design bureau began research and development of a new UAV for the Russian military in 2005, with a system that is expected to be similar in dimensions to the in-service Pchela 1, but with more advanced sensors.
