Volkian nuclear deterrence relies on complete independence. The current Volkian nuclear force consists of five ''Avangard'' class and three ''Zashchitnik'' class submarines equipped with {{Wp|submarine-launched ballistic missiles}}. In addition to the submarine fleet, the country maintains approximately 250 land based ballistic missiles in nuclear silos and on mobile launchers. Roughly 100 medium-range air-to-ground missiles loaded with nuclear warheads make up Volkia's air based nuclear weapons, 45 of which are deployed by the Volkian Air Force while 20 are deployed by the Volkian Navy via aircraft launched from the country's two nuclear aircraft carriers.
The country maintains a classified amount of chemical and biological weapons, with known agents including {{wp|Tabun (nerve agent)|tabun}}, {{wp|sarin}}, {{wp|ricin}}, and {{wp|botulinum toxin|botulinum}}. The Volkian government has stated that it is exploring options to destroy the country's chemical and biological agent stockpile, though it would maintain its nuclear arsenal. Volkian defense doctrine states that the country's weapons of mass destruction are for homeland defense only; the country would only use its WMDs in extraordinary circumstances.

Volkia was given control over the northern half of the country, and following the establishment of an independent [[South Dveria]], the Republic of North Dveria was created in 2016. Volkia has slowly been withdrawing its forces from the country, though there are still approximately 20,000 troops still remaining in order to train and provide logistical support to North Dverian security forces.
The country currently maintains a strong domestic defense industry, with the vast majority of equipment used by the Volkian military developed and built by the Volkian defense industry. Its aerospace industry is among the largest in the world. Volkia's defense industry has produced the PV-77 assault rifle, GA-75 multirole fighter, and the ''Aleksey Zukov'' class aircraft carriers. Volkia is a major arms seller and provides many of its designs for the export market with the exception of nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered devices.
