NATO continues to have a military advantage over Russia despite rearmament under President Vladimir Putin, according to a study commissioned by Greenpeace published on Monday.

An analysis of the military capabilities of the Western alliance and Russia "leaves no doubt about NATO's overall military supremacy. Both sides are equal only in terms of nuclear weapons," said Herbert Wulf and Christopher Steinmetz, authors of the study.

For the purposes of the study, Wulf and Steinmetz compared the military potential of NATO and Russia based on six central parameters, including military spending.

They found that NATO countries combined currently spend 10 times more on their armed forces than Russia ($1.19 trillion versus $127 billion). Even subtracting the US share and accounting for differences in purchasing power, NATO still has a significant advantage ($430 billion to $300 billion).

NATO also has a significant advantage when it comes to major weapons systems, with members of the defense alliance having a total of 5,406 combat aircraft (including 2,073 in Europe) compared to Russia's 1,026. Only when it comes to strategic bombers does Russia almost reach parity with the United States (129 to 140), according to the study.

Russia lags behind NATO in many areas of weaponry and is unlikely to catch up in less than a decade, the authors note, adding that the defense alliance also has a larger number of troops under arms as well as a deeper stockpile. reservists.

NATO countries dominate the global arms market, accounting for more than 70 percent of total sales.

"Rather than further rearmament, NATO's existing conventional superiority ... should be used as an opportunity to prepare and launch arms control policy initiatives ... at least in Europe," the researchers said.

According to the authors, the first step should be to preserve the New START disarmament treaty, the only major nuclear arms control agreement remaining between the US and Russia.
