Like its Soviet predecessor, the Russian military perceives the concept of a military‐technical revolution (MTR) as the nucleus of future warfare. Emerging technologies are radically changing military capabilities and altering the character of warfare. The main efforts in future armed combat will be concentrated on the vertical or aerospace coordinate, and efforts on the ground will have a supporting role. Emphasis will be on destroying the enemy's most important military and economic facilities and counterattack assets, thus sapping its political will. Russian military scientists view nontraditional weapons and third‐generation nuclear weapons as key elements of the MTR
