vara bungas: SE analītiķu pētījums par RU mācību intensitāti un ievirzi pēdējos 10 gados, ja slinkums lasīt visu tekstu, te būs esence:

” Russia’s strategic-level military exercises since 2009 reveal a
higher ambition: to be able to fight regional wars, that is wars that
may involve potential adversaries such as NATO or China.”

Te nepieciešamas paskaidrot, kas ir regional war šajā kontekstā. Pēc reģionālā kara nākamais līmenis ir 3. Pasaules karš, ko nav jākomentē. Reģionālam karam ir mazāks mērogs tikai kodollielvalstu vērtējuma skalas ietvaros, mazāku un vājāku valstu (t.sk. NATO ) uztverē reģionāla kara ietekme var būt pielīdzināma pasaules kara mērogam.

• [..] armed conflict (vooruzhenny konflikt); takes place between or within
  states on a limited scale;
•  local war (lokalnaia voina) with limited political aims; takes place in
  border areas between states, about issues concerning only the states
  involved;
• regional war (regionalnaia voina); involves several states fighting in one
  region of the world with national or coalition forces about important
  military-political aims;
• large-scale war (krupnomashtabnaia voina); between either coalitions of
  states or the greatest states in the international community; involves
  radical military-political aims. It can result from the escalation of the other
  types of military conflict and involve many states from different regions
  of the world and require the mobilisation of all available material and
  moral resources of the participating states.[..]

[..] How many soldiers participated in Zapad? Why is that so important? Only the Russian Armed Forces know the exact figure. Others can only speculate.[..]
