Greenpeace Study Finds NATO Holds Strong Military Advantage Over Russia

Despite Russia's military buildup, NATO's conventional forces and spending far surpass those of Russia, according to a new report.

  • The Greenpeace-commissioned study highlights NATO's significant military superiority over Russia, with NATO spending approximately ten times more on defense.
  • While Russia and NATO are on par in terms of nuclear capabilities, NATO outpaces Russia in conventional weaponry and technological advancements.
  • NATO possesses a much larger arsenal of major weapon systems, including over 5,400 combat aircraft compared to Russia's 1,026.
  • The report suggests that NATO's dominance should prompt initiatives for arms control and trust-building, rather than increased military spending.
  • Researchers advocate for the preservation of the New START treaty as a critical step in maintaining nuclear arms control between East and West.
