The document analyzes Russia's military capabilities that could be used against Poland in a limited conflict, including naval, air, and missile assets stationed near Poland. The executive summary states that Russia would likely overcome Poland's defenses due to its superior forces and ability to rapidly deploy large numbers of personnel and systems. The analysis then provides details on Russian naval vessels in the Baltic Fleet, including destroyers, frigates, submarines, and their respective armaments. It also lists Russian air assets such as Tu-160 bombers and notes Russia's large air force.
