.ml loser coping. NATO would have air superiority within hours and crush your balls. You’re using drones instead of artillery and anti tank missiles because you’re so broke.

    I'm not Russian, for one, and for two, drone warfare is used by all current conflicts because its cheap and extremely effective. Russia still produces tanks and artillery. I don't know why people get so bloodthirsty, outright war between Russia and NATO is the last thing anyone should want.

    Because Russia would never survive without nuclear weapons or other massive atrocities.

    Russia is a huge country, with 146 million people. Russia does have nukes, and does have a modern millitary with industrialized production outpacing NATO. Again, a war with NATO would be long and bloody, but likely would result in Russia winning or both sides losing. War with Russia should be the last thing anyone wants.

    Israel couldn't even beat Iran, and Israel has all of the fanciest tools NATO has. A war with Russia would be long, bloody, and benefit nobody.

    ”Modern military” is a stretch. They have handfuls of wunderwaffen but the bulk of their equipment is relatively ancient.

    There’s a reason we don’t see their latest and greatest tanks and planes, because they don’t have any. The vast majority of tanks in Ukraine are older than the internet 😝

    Both sides have sizable soviet stockpiles, but both Russia and NATO have been supplying modern arms and equipment.

    If the European nations brought their Iraq and Afghanistan forces to Ukraine, they’d probably retake it by years end.

    If you could guarantee Russia wouldn’t lob nukes, they probably could make an incursion strike into Russia to capture Moscow fairly quick, especially if Russian forces were divided along the lines like with Kursk with diversionary tactics.

    I think the goal is to wait everything out though hoping Russias economy will implode, or until time that everyone gets their military up to snuff. It seems like Poland was the only one preparing for the last 10 years mind. Poland absolutely does not want to return under Russian rule. None of them do! Which is why they all joined NATO.
