Abstract: The article deals with abbreviation as a way of forming Russian military terminology, and its reflection in media texts. The notion of “abbreviation” is described.

The lexical units under study have been analysed with their lexicographic treatment being touched upon. The selected units and the approach pursued ensure the relevance of the study. Among the research methods applied are the following: linguistic description, directional sampling, classification, and componential analysis. The conclusions concerning the specificity of forming military abbreviations, as well as their classification into types and subtypes, have been made.
