Cover image © AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko 7 May 2015: Towing cables are attached to a Russian T-14 tank after it breaks down in Red Square during the dress rehearsal for the 2015 Victory Day parade. The new T-14, formally displayed for the first time at the parade on 9 May, has become a symbol for Russia’s far-reaching rearmament and military modernization programme. The reported advanced design and capabilities of the tank and its related series of other new armoured vehicles have been the subject of widespread discussion among defence experts, both within Russia and abroad. But the introduction of the tank comes amid growing doubt over the capacity and sustainability of Russia’s defence industry – and of the economy as a whole – while subjected to external sanctions and domestic inefficiencies. ii | Chatham House
