Force fingerprint

The national security structure sized by active headcount, always from the head of state: row 1 the head of state and government, row 2 the governing bodies (grey, each as wide as the forces beneath it), row 3 the services and agencies coloured by security domain, row 4 the major commands, row 5 the major formations. A hatched segment is a body whose headcount is not published.

Order of battle

The whole national security structure from the head of state down to major formations. Bars are as wide as their headcount; the state and government bodies are drawn grey, as the government directory has them. Click a bar to zoom into it.

Known unknowns

The GRU, SVR, FSB and FSO publish no headcount, budget or internal structure; their figures are left null.
The authorised strength of the Armed Forces is fixed by presidential decree (No. 700 of 28 September 2026) as a single total; no official breakdown by service, district or fleet is published, so service figures are Wikipedia/IISS estimates.
The order of battle of the combined-arms armies and corps changes with the war in Ukraine; subordination of some formations (e.g. the 3rd Army Corps, the 11th and 14th Army Corps of the Baltic and Northern fleets) is not officially published and is omitted or taken from Wikipedia.
The Ministry of Defence no longer publishes structure pages for its formations; acknowledgement of armies and divisions rests on long-public secondary sources.
Rosgvardiya's districts and the FSB's internal directorates are not modelled: Rosgvardiya publishes no current personnel figure, and the FSB does not publish its structure.
Formations raised in occupied Ukrainian territory (51st and 3rd combined-arms armies) are listed as the Russian Ministry of Defence organises them; this is not a recognition of any territorial claim.

Equipment fingerprint

Holdings by taxonomy: row 1 the ministry and its services, row 2 the six domains, row 3 the categories, row 4 each platform held as wide as its count, row 5 its split into active, reserve and on order. A hatched segment is a platform held with no published count.

Holdings

One row per platform held. Each figure is a claim with a source: the most recent official figure where one is published, else the most recent Wikipedia equipment list, else SIPRI's delivered total. Figures are never averaged.
