Russia Rehearsed Wars Against NATO in Secret Simulations Since 2017, Investigation Finds
An investigation found the military used command-staff games with more than 1,000 participants to model attacks on NATO, Japan and Ukraine.
- Russian generals have rehearsed hypothetical wars against NATO for years through secret computer simulations, according to an investigation the Dossier Center published on Tuesday.
- Military leaders modeled a 2017 campaign involving the Swedish island of Gotland to practice "Strategic Deterrence," while a 2018 exercise simulated conflict with Japan using more than 900 officers.
- The underground War Games Center operates about 250 training systems, including Spektr-7E, which contained around 5,000 digital models by 2021; Dossier Center concluded that NATO was depicted as the opposing "red team."
- Commanders failed to accurately model the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, as initial attempts to seize Kyiv faltered, leading the General Staff to incorporate battlefield lessons into new simulations.
- Ukraine and NATO have expanded their own war games since the invasion, with initiatives including the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
