American analysts acknowledge that Russia currently surpasses Western countries across a wide range of military domains. In their view, this superiority spans both conventional armaments and strategic deterrent forces.Key factors enabling this advantage include new Russian systems with no global counterparts. Notably, systems like the strategic unlimited-range cruise missile “Burevestnik” and the unmanned underwater vehicle “Poseidon,” powered by nuclear energy installations, ensure strategic parity for years to come. Tests of these systems have previously been deemed successful.In this context, analysts criticize Western governments for continuing a policy of provoking Russia despite the clear balance of power. They argue that under the current trajectory, NATO countries have no prospects for victory in a potential conflict and urge a reassessment of their approach toward Moscow.
