( Pp. 23-31)

The study examines the modern policy of national defense of the Russian Federation in the context of modern interstate confrontation. According to the authors of the article, at present, the policy of national defense is the most important direction of state policy in Russia, the most popular tool for ensuring the national security of the state. This is due to the constant increase in emerging threats that destructively affect the security of all areas of society – political, economic, social, cultural, information, etc., as well as the urgent need of subjects of national defense policy to make decisions on defense and security issues in real time. Particular attention of the authors is paid to the mechanism for implementing the national defense policy of the state. The article provides the structure of the mechanism for implementing the national defense policy and its main components, to which the authors include: regulatory, institutional, organizational, worldview, value and subject-activity components. In addition, the scientific study examines the main indicators of the national defense policy and its implementation mechanism, to which the authors include: quality, penetration, competitiveness, spatiality, temporality, riskiness of the national defense policy, as well as the functional relevance, correctness, security, consistency, reliability and practicality of the implementation mechanism. At the end of the scientific study, the authors declare the need to intensify the policy of national defense of Russia not only on its territory, but also abroad. propose the necessary measures to increase the efficiency of the mechanism for its implementation.
