Tbh the state of European militaries across the board is embarrassing. I do think if it came down to it they would absolutely give Russia one of the bloodiest noses its ever gotten, but its not winning a war against Russia as everything exists now. Its honestly insane. Im not sure how Europe can even defend itself from the US, a hostile ally, let alone an enemy that will actively bomb their cities and infrastructure. The entire focus in Europe, even for the civilians, should be getting a modernized self sufficient MIC up and running ASAP. But just like everyone over here in the US, the citizens of Europe just seem to think this is all going to blow over and we’ll go back to business as usual in a few years.

Now that cavalry is back in fashion, I’ll mention that UK has more horses than tanks. My understanding, however, is that they are well short of the numbers required for a repeat of “The Charge of the Light Brigade.”
