FERNANDEZ-OSORIO, Andres Eduardo. 2008 Russian military reform: An adequate response to global threats and challenges of the twenty-first century?. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.17, pp.41-82. ISSN 1900-6586.

Applying a military sciences' methodology namely DOTMLPF, this paper examines the 2008 Russian military reform to determine whether or not it will prepare Russia to face contemporary threats and challenges. Analysing published studies with the results of a DOTMLPF assessment and essentials of modern military thinking, this paper offers conclusions on the effectiveness of the reform. Besides, it provides a new perspective when analysing military reforms and emphasises the significance of Russia and its military capability for the global balance of power.

Keywords : DOTMLPF; military doctrine; modernisation; Russian military reform.
