Yes, but those drones don't fly if the Russian hackers crash their software. Russia has some of the world's premier hackers under their command. Also, drones and anti-tank aircraft can't deploy if their airfields are all overrun.

lol at them hacking drones and their systems run off siprnet or higher

There are really only 4 countries standing in their way: Poland, Germany, the UK, and the US. The Poles and Germans would fight, but if they are not ready, they could be overrun before they can put up a defense. The U.S., with a weak regime at home, may decline to commit fully enough to victory, and instead broker a peace that puts Russia in control over much of its former territory. Britain is the wild card that could cause everything to come undone for the Russians since there is a small ocean between them and Russia.

by the time they got to Germany their military would be stretched thin and their supply lines and support troops would be fighting for their lives vs the local forces.

Anyone here read this book?

The Russians would get their licks in at first but NATO and the US would eventually grind their armor into the dirt.

Russian Naval and Air Forces are generations behind NATO and the US.

Those new Russian aircraft might be able to minimize their radar signature but what about infrared?

If you are accusing the Obama administration of sitting on it's hands in regards to defense, you have not read the news lately. Please see articles below:

Poland has a little over 100,000 active duty troops with about 1,000 tanks, 2,000 AFVs, 1,200 pieces of artillery, 200 helecopters. They have only 112 fighters.

Russia on the other hand has almost 400,000 active duty in just the army alone. As for hardware:

2,500+ tanks (almost 13,000 in reserve)
3,200+ AFVs (16,500 in reserve)
2,800+ APCs (5,000 in reserve)
5,700+ pieces of artillery
1,500+ SAM systems

and as for the Russian Air Force....

quote:
n 2012, the Air Force was made up of:

38 fighter squadrons (7 operating MiG-29s, one operating the MiG-29S, 2 operating the MiG-29SMT, 7 operating the MiG-31, one operating the MiG-31B, 4 operating the MiG-31BM, 7 operating the Su-27P, 8 operating the Su-27SM, 1 operating the Su-27SM3 and Su-30M2, 1 operating the Su-35S, 1 operating the Su-30SM)
15 bomber squadrons (9 operating the Su-24M, 2 operating the Su-24M2, 4 operating the Su-34)
14 assault squadrons (10 operating the Su-25, 4 operating the Su-25SM)
9 intelligence squadrons (operating the Su-24MR, and various UAVs)
13 training and testbed squadrons

If Russia wanted, they could swallow Poland today.
