Correction: 3rd INFANTRY Division. Sorry Rock of the Marne.
Again, I point to Afghanistan who succesfully beat the Russians off of them with a few Stinger missiles and AK-47’s. This is a historical fact.

Afganies didn’t win. Soviet Union just got tired to kill them. When Afgani losses came close to 1.5 millions (against 15 thousands of soviets - 1:100) then even hard core commies began to ask question for what sake that war was? Soviets didn’t wnat to kill whole Afganistan population as teh reslt of war. Soviet army could continue 10 more years but no more Afganies lived there.
So Soviet army just withdrew to stop useless bloodshed.
You are buying the hype on the Russians. The truth is that the 3rd Armored Division pretty much alone knocked off the 4th largest army in the world equipped with Russian stuff. The Israeli Air Force in F-16’s (our average small fighter) took out the entire Syrian Air Force equipped with Russian stuff. ==
What if we exchange Soviet stuff to hands of Isralies and American stuff into hands of Arabs. Would Arabs win then?
I would doubt. That is the key problem. Arabs or Georgians sismply cann’t fight as Europians.
So I conclude: Whatever long you train Arabs or Georgians and whatever advanced stuff you give them they will run again.
The Georgians could make it very painful with the proper defensive equipment and training. ==
The pain they infliced will return back 10 folded. Be sure. Russians know how to fight. See the size of the country.
