ABSTRACT

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.

俄罗斯的炮舰外交：俄罗斯在苏丹的海军基地及其影响

摘要

2020 年，俄罗斯在苏丹港的苏丹海岸附近获得了一个新的海军基地或后勤支持中心。这个基地代表了迄今为止莫斯科在地中海、非洲之角甚至印度洋及其周围寻求基地的最高潮。虽然获得和发展这个基地的政治在很大程度上与莫斯科的非洲政策有关；本文侧重于俄罗斯的整体海军战略及其相关的力量投射计划。迄今为止，这些战略在国外并未得到充分重视，希望本次评估能激发人们对它们的更多关注。
