Explore how Russian military thinkers interpret and operationalize threat perceptions defined by their political leadership in this 39-minute lecture by Ms. Gabriela Rosa-Hernandez. Examine the argument that while Russian operations in Ukraine demonstrate adaptability, the war has not fundamentally reshaped Russia's broader threat perception framework. Discover how current military discourse reinterprets established security concerns through the lens of ongoing conflict, amplifying and reinforcing existing anxieties rather than creating new assessments. Learn about specific nuclear, non-nuclear, and space capabilities that Russian military thinkers identify as threats, including detailed analysis of the Golden Dome, Prompt Global Strike Programs, and potential American long-range strike capabilities in Scandinavia. Understand the debates surrounding proposed mitigations to overcome perceived US and NATO advantages. Gain insights valuable for national security scholars interested in Russian military leadership proposals and arms control scholars seeking to understand specific capabilities the Russian military views as threatening.
