FPV Drones: From the Ukrainian Battlefield to the Middle East

Liran Antebi, Or Adar

INSS Insight No. 1825, February 8, 2024

Drones have been a significant weapon in the hands of Hamas, the terrorist organization that has been fighting against Israel since October 7. Before the outbreak of the war, there was no real use in the Middle East for FPV (first-person view) drones. They are incredibly fast, precise, relatively simple-to-operate, inexpensive and lethal weapon that has started to be in widespread use in the fighting between Russia and Ukraine, especially in the second half of 2023. The IDF must study the use of these drones in Europe, both as an...

Changing Israel’s Policy on Russia and Ukraine

Georgy Poroskoun, Yaron Gamburg

INSS Insight No. 1808, January 3, 2024

Israel’s position regarding the war in Ukraine represents an ongoing dilemma, in part due to the connection that the US administration sees between the Israel-Hamas war and Ukraine’s confrontation with Russia, as well as Washington’s efforts to provide economic and military aid to both Israel and Ukraine. Israel’s neutral position on the war in Ukraine, in face of the longstanding pro-Palestinian position that Moscow has taken, signals to Russia that it can continue to ignore Israeli interests, and at the same time, does not help the...

Beyond the Shadows: Wagner Group Activity throughout the World

Mora Deitch, Arkady Mil-Man, Georgy Poroskoun, Inbar Noy-Freifeld, Derek Lief, Rebecca Meller, Alon Berkman

Spotlight, September 26, 2023

 The Russian Wagner Group (the private military company “Wagner”) was formed in 2014. Despite Russian law prohibiting the establishment of private armies, the group operated together with the government and with its approval. Its goal was to advance Russia’s political interests via military means, at the behest of the government and without public approval. The group also operated for the economic benefit of its director, Yevgeny Prigozhin, a business figure from the Russian underground. Over the years, the Wagner Group conducted...

The Death of Prigozhin: A Short-Term “Threat Removal” for Putin?

Georgy Poroskoun

INSS Insight No. 1762, September 5, 2023

The plane crash that killed Yevgeny Prigozhin raises several questions about the Russian establishment: What is the future of the Wagner Group? Is the Russian defense establishment stronger in the aftermath of the crash? Has President Putin regained the control and honor lost in the mutiny by the Wagner Group in late June? Apparently in the short term, the regime’s deterrence will indeed work. It is doubtful, however, that it will suffice as the basis for running a country – especially given the situation that currently engulfs...

The War in Ukraine: Exacerbating Russia’s Demographic Crisis

Bat Chen Druyan Feldman, Arkady Mil-Man

INSS Insight No. 1754, August 22, 2023

The invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated Russia’s demographic crisis: military recruitment and a wave of emigration have aggravated the reality of the low birthrate and life expectancy. The population is shrinking and its composition has changed. Young educated men are leaving, and Ukrainian refugees, most of whom are elderly, women, or children, have arrived. Under Vladimir Putin, Russia has invested much effort to address the demographic crisis, but with little success. Now that the country is embroiled in the war in Ukraine, it...

Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group: The Roots of the Phenomenon and its Effects on Russia following the June 23, 2023 Mutiny

Georgy Poroskoun

Special Publication, July 3, 2023

Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Russian mercenaries, known as the Wagner Group, while comprising a relatively small part of the Russian forces in general, played an important role in Russia’s war against Ukraine, not only thanks to their military skills, but also due to Prigozhin’s political and media capabilities. Indeed, they have influenced the battlefield and the situation within Russia. On June 23, 2023, increasing friction between Prigozhin, who emerged during the war as an independent anti-establishment political player (he has no formal...

Hypersonic Missiles: Threat and Deterrence?

Yehoshua Kalisky

Special Publication, June 11, 2023

The operational use of maneuvering hypersonic missiles by Russia in the war in Ukraine has demonstrated the threat inherent in such weapons. Maneuvering hypersonic missiles travel on an aerodynamic trajectory at a speed that is 5-10 times the speed of sound (Mach 5-10), and have excellent navigation and maneuvering capabilities that make it difficult to detect and track their trajectory, and consequently to intercept them. Such missiles can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, and have the ability to strike moving targets...

The Western Private Sector as an Actor in the Russia-Ukraine War: Implications for Israel

Arkady Mil-Man, Georgy Poroskoun

INSS Insight No. 1719, May 3, 2023

On the eve of the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine that erupted in February 2022, and even more so in the course of the war, many private companies, at their own initiative, adopted an active stance on the conflict in two main spheres: sending direct and intensive aid to Ukraine, and curbing or ceasing operations in Russia. These measures have an impact on the economic situation on both sides of the conflict, as well as on the course of the war. This is an important and partly new phenomenon that could have implications for...

The Pentagon Documents: Russia in the Foreign Policy of the Arab States

Yoel Guzansky, Arkady Mil-Man

INSS Insight No. 1712, April 20, 2023

Russia is known to figure prominently among economic and foreign policy considerations of Arab states, notwithstanding the failures of the Russian army in the war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on it. For the Arab Gulf states, Russia is primarily an essential partner for regulation of energy prices, influence over Iran, and leverage vis-à-vis the United States. Moscow for its part uses these Arab states’ need for close relations to enhance its presence and influence in the Middle East, and to reduce the isolation and toll of...

Putin and The Hague: The Precedent, and the Significance for Israel

Ori Beeri

INSS Insight No. 1702, April 3, 2023

On March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin and a senior member of his government on suspected charges of committing war crimes by unlawfully deporting and transferring children from Ukraine to Russian territory. This marks the first time that the ICC has issued arrest warrants as part of its investigation into the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and it is expected that further proceedings will be initiated over additional war crimes. This is a...
