L'exercice Zapad qui s'est tenu cet été est révélateur des ambitions russes et a suscité une certaine inquiétude au sein de l'Otan. Le message envoyé par Moscou est d'abord d'ordre politique même si Zapad est un bon révélateur du processus de modernisation des armées russes.

Aus sowjetischer Sicht

As the contents of this booklet reveal, Zapad 2013 was no simple military drill. The lessons learned from this multi-faceted exercise continue to be debated and assessed by analysts and experts because of the sheer scale and complexity of the forces involved. The two principal participants in the exercises—Russia and Belarus—contributed more than 75,000 men, who were engaged in simulated operations in the air, on land and at sea. The deployment of these forces and the execution of the exercises took place on a theater-wide level, in close proximity to the Baltic states. As such, Zapad 2013 essentially targeted the military frontiers of NATO members and partners, from Poland to the eastern Baltic Sea.
