There is no consensus on how long Russia will take to reconstitute its forces ‘after’ Ukraine. In large part, that is because it depends on what kind of threat it is posing and to achieve ‘what’...but, there is generally a view that it could rebuild land forces to be fairly threatening in only a few years. Therefore, Nato seniors and others have tried to pick a realistic target that says ‘we need to be able to improve our conventional deterrence within this time’.”
