摘要
In 2020 Russia acquired a new naval base or logistic support centre off Sudan's coast in Port Sudan. This base represents the culmination to date of Moscow's quest for bases in and around the Mediterranean, Horn of Africa, and even the Indian Ocean. While the politics of obtaining and developing this base pertain largely to Moscow's Africa policy; this paper focuses upon Russia's overall naval strategy and its linked power projection programme. These strategies have hitherto been insufficiently appreciated abroad and it is hoped that this assessment will galvanise greater attention to them.
