The military potential of separatist regimes

Abstract

This article describes the main components of the military potential, including: the number of army personnel; the weaponry and combat vehicles; the morale of the military; the number and quality of command staff; the organization, discipline and internal cohesion of the army; the degree of the development of military science and military doctrine; combat training of troops; the population preparation for the defense of the country. Based on these components, we can assess the military potential of some separatist regimes, which represent a major threat to the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the state. In order to successfully counteract this threat, the responsible state structures must focus all efforts on the objective and multilateral assessment of military potential and thoroughly analyze each of their components.
