[ROLFMAO. Pros in what? Buggery? British military these days is nothing, both conventional and strategic components.]
A Russian military that lost 7 aircraft in a conventional invasion of *Georgia* is probably little better than the Third World militaries that provide Russia with much of its export sales. The British Army would roll right over the Russians in a conventional fight. It was always assumed that NATO forces would have the qualitative edge, but overwhelming Warsaw Pact numbers, and the fact that the Soviets would, as the invading force, have the initiative, would make any conflict a close-run thing. Then Desert Storm showed the world just how decrepit Eastern Bloc equipment and tactics actually were. It’s a mistake to mention British and Russian forces in the same breath.
Yep, they won El-Alamein. /s
Georgian War in 2008 is probably just a little more relevant now than Desert Storm in 1991. But not by much.
Not to mention half of lost aircraft in August War are to friendly fire. And since you talk about equipment which air defences Georgian had? Martian?
