1. Hundreds of Abrams, Leopard 2A7s, Challenger 2s are being upgraded to fit Iron Fist and Trophy APS. Same about some IFVs.1. Except there are not a single serially manufactured APS fitted tank yet.
2. How do you drop that ATGM team to its AO? You still need armour to survive the artillery firewall in front of the tank unit.
3. EU NATO members rely on advanced helicopters instead of fixed wing for search&destroy against armour, but Russia has tons if SPAGs
4. EU NATO members has very very few F35s, and most of their F16, and F18 are ancient.
5. Even combined EU airforce will likely not be able to stop a force of 200,000 from overrunning at least half of Central Europe before it starts to spread out, and digging in.
6. After a force of that size spreads out, and digs in, you will have to throw raw volume of firepower at it to dislodge it, or you throw infantry. EU nations have neither, they are too invested into few pieces of advanced hardware.
2. There's no shortage of APCs, IFVs and cars in Europe, also, roads are very well developed.
3. To this day Russia hasn't destroyed the Ukrainian air force, hasn't stopped its helicopter force, hasn't stopped the ability of the Ukrainian army to mobilize. You don't understand the amount of advanced ATGMs the EU has. Russia won't move an inch.
4. That's wrong, EU air force has superior numbers and quality to Russia.
5. That exact fighting force couldn't do anything against Ukraine, at Russia's backyard, you think Russia can do it across a vastly bigger frontline?
