ANNEX 3 The Development of Russian Military Potential Nearby Finland Western Military District (WMD) WMD includes former Moscow and Leningrad Military Districts, Northern and Baltic Fleets, Kaliningrad Special Area and 1 st Air Force and Air Defence Command. The HQ of Western MD is located in St. Petersburg, in former location of Leningrad MD`s HQ. Colonel-General Arkady Viktorovich Bakhin was the first CO of this Joint Strategic Command West (OSK, Obyedinyennoye Strategicheskoye Kommandovanye) 2010− 2012. 296 The Ground Forces of WMD are considerable strong. According to a Russian estimate its capability of warfare has been increased “more than 13 times” (> 90%) 297 compared with former Leningrad Military District (LMD). 298 Western MD includes among other two General Force Armies: - 6 th Army, HQ at Agalatovo, on Karelian Isthmus, close to Saint Petersburg and - 20 th Guards Army, HQ at Mulino, east of Moscow. 299 In the Western Military District (WMD) there are more than 40 peace-time brigades and detached special regiments/battalions in declared permanent readiness as follows 300 : Tank 4. Detached Guards Tank Brigade (Naro-Fominsk) 6. Detached Tank Brigade (Dzhershinsk) 296 Warfare.be, “Russian Military Analysis: Western Military District – OSC West” [http://warfare.be/?linkid=2225&catid=321]. 297 In Russia the mathematical comparison is often expressed as “times”; something is X times bigger. It is possible to calculate as per cent with formula: 100–100/X times. In this case the exact calculation is 100–100/13 = 92.3%. 298 Krasnaya Zvezda, 29 December 2010, “Armija Rossii: Novyj oblik “Prioritety stroitelstva Vooruzhennyh sil”” (Russian Army: Priorities of Armed Forces’ Organization) [http://old.redstar.ru/2010/12/29_12/1_08.html]. 299 Warfare.be, “Russian Military Analysis: Western Military District – OSC West.” 300 Warfare.be; IHS Jane’s; Jane’s World Armies, “Russian Federation” (15 November 2012). Note: not included signal, communications, C 3 , ECM, elint, NBC, support, logistics, aviation, naval, space, etc. brigades neither reserve.
