Title: Russian Military Transformation - Goal in Sight?
Description: The Russian Armed Forces have been undergoing major structural reform since 2008.

This monograph reviews those threat evaluations, and the challenges facing Russia's military transformation, to assess the range of options available to Russia for closing the capability gap with the United States and its allies.
