Abstract
EN Over the last two decades China and Russia have been developing Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) systems mainly based on long-range Air Defense, ballistic and cruise missiles, supported with Electronic Warfare and cyber-attack capabilities. Ini-tially, these systems were used for defense purposes, but over the time it was recognized they could be also applied for imposing military situation in the specific regions and cre-ate effective response to NATO countries and their concept of conducting military opera-tions. The main aim of article is to asses and to present the impact of Chinese and Rus-sian Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) systems on changes on global political relations and balance of military power. In the course of this studies the author used numerous analyzes, synthesis, comparisons and case studies methods mainly concentrated on presently operating A2/AD systems. This article undertakes the analysis of the Chinese bases located in the South China Sea and Djibouti, Russian A2/AD systems within Rus-sia's borders with particular emphasis on Kaliningrad Oblast, and A2/AD systems in Crimea and Syria created as part of Russian military operations.

It can be also evaluate that the use of these systems allow dominate future conflicts because they enable to establish a full control zones which are completely closed for opponents forces operations.
