A COMPLETE Army of 26,000, with most of it’s best officers and NCO’s in Iraq...
84 70’s-Era t-70 tanks, and a few German Wheeled AFV’s versus 1,000+ Russian T-80’s and IFV’s.
A few large artillery pieces, without the AA to protect them, in the face of complete Russian Air Superiority...
Not good odds for even a running withdrawal...
I believe the Georgian forces have arrived back from Iraq today.
Yeah, might have been a bit more than I quoted. I was reading some old data too.
And those in Iraq are enroute home. 1000 to be as close to precise as I can without knowing exactly what’s on the C-17s at this time.
