Moscow, June 9 /Xinhua/ – Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 30 approved the Strategy for the Development of the Russian Navy until 2050. This was stated in an interview with the newspaper Argumenty i Fakty by the presidential aide and Chairman of the Russian Maritime Collegium Nikolai Patrushev.
“The final version of the strategy was submitted to the head of state for consideration, and he approved it on May 30,” said N. Patrushev.
According to him, “a strategic planning document of this kind has been adopted for the first time in modern history.”
“The Strategy contains an analysis of the development of the military-political situation in the world, the possible occurrence and nature of armed conflicts, and the potential of the leading naval powers. An assessment is given of the current state and capabilities of the Navy, taking into account the experience of a special military operation,” he said.
“The main requirements for the future combat composition of the fleet, its main tasks in peacetime and wartime, as well as mechanisms aimed at forming the future image of the Navy have been formulated. In a word, an important long-term document has been adopted, which provides an answer to the question of what Russia’s naval power should be so that our country can effectively defend its interests in the World Ocean,” N. Patrushev noted. -0-
