Putin on Sunday signed a new naval doctrine which cast the United States as Russia\u2019s main rival and set out Russia\u2019s global maritime ambitions for crucial areas such as the Arctic and in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Russia\u2019s Navy Day in the former imperial capital of St Petersburg founded by Tsar Peter the Great, Putin praised Peter for making Russia a great sea power and increasing the global standing of the Russian state.<\/p>\n<p>After inspecting the navy, Putin made a short speech in which he promised that what he touted as Russia\u2019s unique Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, cautioning that Russia had the military clout to defeat any potential aggressors.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group\">\n<section

before the speech, he signed a new 55-page naval doctrine, which sets out the broad strategic aims of Russia\u2019s navy, including its ambitions as a \u201cgreat maritime power\u201d which extend over the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>The main threat to Russia, the doctrine says, is \u201cthe strategic policy of the USA to dominate the world\u2019s oceans\u201d and the movement of the NATO military alliance closer towards Russia\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p>Russia may use its military force appropriately to the situation in the world\u2019s oceans should other soft powers, such as diplomatic and economic tools, be exhausted, the doctrine says, acknowledging that Russia does not have enough navy bases globally.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s priority was to develop strategic and naval cooperation with India as well as wider cooperation with Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other states in the region, according to the doctrine.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border
