the Russian navy is currently undergoing rapid modernization and that should be of some concern to Pentagon planners, a U.S. intelligence report is warning. As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, the report from the Office of Naval Intelligence [PDF] warns that Russian naval forces are quickly being modernized with new advanced submarines and lethal ballistic and cruise missiles, in particular.

Included in the buildup are three new classes of submarines and a number of new warship types, the report notes, while warning that the vessels will “provide a flexible platform for Russia to demonstrate offensive capability, threaten neighbors, project power regionally, and advance President Putin’s stated goal of returning Russia to clear great power status.”

he Russian military in general is getting substantial funding increases for new systems, and that includes the navy, with his goal of restoring the military to Soviet-era power by 2020
Couple that with the new Naval base in Syria...
