Importance As new threats and challenges to the national security arise, it requires designing effective methods to ensure it. This should be considered when the military-industrial complex is reformed. Objectives The research analyzes the specifics of the military-industrial complex development in the USA and the EU, and outlines recommendations for Russia to consider global trends when reforming the military-industrial complex. Methods Having analyzed new threats and challenges to the national security of Russia, we investigated the U.S. and EU practices of reforms of the military-industrial complex in accordance with the current circumstances. Results Contemporary threats and challenges were proved to generate demand for new military and industrial products. We found they influenced the reforming of the military-industrial complex abroad, reviewed whether foreign experience in the military-industrial restructuring was applicable to Russia. Conclusions and Relevance When reforming the military-industrial complex, Russia should consider new types of threats to the national security. It is important to take the U.S. and EU experience into consideration concerning the reforming of the military-industrial complex. Considering the specifics and development of Russia before it shifted to the market economy, the governance structure of the military-industrial complex should be thoroughly and attentively elaborated.
