I'm only part of the way through this but well worth a read ..................

Swedish Defence Research Agency: Russian Military Capability in a Ten-Year Perspective – 2016 (PDF)

https://www.foi.se/rapportsammanfattning?reportNo=FOI-R--4326--SE
"
"The Russian Armed Forces are developing from a force primarily designed for handling internal disorder and conflicts in the area of the former Soviet Union towards a structure configured for large-scale operations also beyond that area."

The PDF contains their assessment of Russian current (and near future) capabilities for 3 main missions, operational-strategic joint inter-service combat operations (JISCOs), stand-off warfare and strategic deterrence.
Includes Land, Naval, Air and Nuclear forces.

Lots of maps and orbat listings.

Very interesting analysis, especially the part with opinion polls.

Here is another document for the CMANO collection, world air forces 2016. I also have the 2014 version if anyone is interested.
