Putin's decision to expand the army again has brought quite a shock to the world. In early December, he ordered an expansion of the Russian army by 170,000, bringing the total strength to more than 2.2 million. This is a huge and substantial initiative to get people to turn against RussiaArms raceThe trend has given rise to questions. However, in fact, this decision is notArms race, but a reasonable expansion of troops. To justify this expansion, we need to have a deep understanding of Russia's defense needs andInternationalBackground.
Russia is a country with a vast territory, and in order to maintain basic homeland defense needs, it needs a large army. In addition to its own defenses, Russia has also deployed peacekeeping forces in relevant areas to maintain peace and stability in the region. In addition, Russia is inThe conflict in UkraineThe troops invested during this period also need to be replenished and reinforced. These troops can be said to be one of the few armies in the world that are currently facing high-intensity wars, and they have paid a huge price. Therefore, Russia's military build-up is not an accident, but a logical move. However, there is a deeper meaning behind Russia's military buildup.
Not so long ago, Russia signed a series of relevant arms agreements with Europe. These agreements were signed by Russia at a special time to curry favor with the West, and in essence imposed restrictions on the equipment and movement of Russian troops. However, withThe conflict in Ukraineand the acceleration of Russian-Chinese cooperation, Russia has completely weaned itself from its dependence on the West, withdrawn from these agreements, and rapidly expanded its forces. This can be seen as an attempt by Russia to restore armaments. Actually,Russian armyIn addition to the expansion of military strength, the introduction of Chinese civilian personnel has also begunAll-terrain vehicles, which was almost unimaginable in the past. Russian armyBoast of being strong, inMilitaryIn terms of equipment, we have always maintained a very high attitude towards ourselves. However, now that the Russian army is beginning to face up to its problems, this is undoubtedly a good thing, although it may be the result of force. These are only small steps in Russia's rearmament, but the impact cannot be ignored.
In recent years, with NATO's eastward expansion and increased pressure on its northwestern border, Russia has constantly faced threats from the outside. Driven by the United States, NATO's conventional forces are massing on Russia's western borders, and nuclear forces are growing out of controlNuclear warheads, tactical nucleusAs well as various delivery methods, all appeared in Europe. Therefore, it is almost imperative for Russia to strengthen its own power. Putin's troop expansion this time has aroused NATO's **, and the response of the United States is also quite worth thinking about. They said, "Any."MilitaryNone of the conflicts can be passedMilitaryA diplomatic solution is also needed for a solution by means. "It is clear that Russia's recent movements have deeply disturbed the United States. However, as the proverb goes, "If a man drinks water, he knows what is warm and cold." "Europe knows best the threat from Russia, more and more countries have stopped aiding Ukraine and have begun to advocate peace talks between the two sides, and even the NATO Secretary General has expressed a pessimistic attitude. This shows that a ceasefire has gradually become the mainstream of thinking in Europe. However, while a ceasefire has become a consensus, NATO has not stopped its eastward expansion. NATO is expanding its influence to the east, threatening Russia and even extending its influence to the Asia-Pacific region. This kind of ambition is far beyond the scope of "**". Therefore, Putin's decision to have a million-strong army is like a sharp sword hanging over NATO's head. It can be said that Putin has fulfilled his promise to "watch and help each other" with China, blocking the pace of NATO's eastward expansion.
Putin once again emphasized the expansion of troops, not only to safeguard Russia's best interests, but also to defend itInternationalStatus in the transaction. Russia's recent arms recovery is not only reflected in the size of its troops, but also in its coverageMilitaryIntroduction and improvement of equipment. This series of measures shows that Russia is willing to face up to its own problems and strive to improve the strength of its own army.
Over the past few years, Russia's security situation has become more dire as NATO expands eastward and pressure on Russia's northwestern borders has gradually increased. EspeciallyThe conflict in UkraineThe outbreak has made Russia realize that its own indifference to external threats is dangerous. Therefore, Russia decided to restore armaments in order to ensure the security and stability of the country.
The recovery of Russia's armaments is reflected not only in the expansion of the size of its forces, but also in the fact thatMilitaryon the introduction and improvement of equipment. For example, Russia has recently purchased Chinese civiliansAll-terrain vehiclesThe news has attracted widespread attention. This marks the beginning of the Russian army's change from its previous conceited attitude and mentality to face up to its own problems.

The restoration of armaments is not an overnight task for Russia.
