Here's why I think we would easily beat Russia. We can produce bada** videos of soon to be retiring A-10's in HD...
Shooting starts around 2:30 mark
A-10 go-pro
It would not be as easy as you think.
And here's why.

Basic missile system specifications
Target acquisition range (by TAR 9S18M1, 9S18M1-1)
Range: 140[clarification needed]
Altitude: 60 meters – 25 kilometers (197 feet – 15.5 miles)
Firing groups in one division: up to 6 (with one command post)
Firing groups operating in a sector
90° in azimuth, 0–7° and 7–14° in elevation
45° in azimuth, 14–52° in elevation
Radar mast lifting height (for TAR 9S36): 21 meters
Reloading of 4 missiles by TEL from itself: around 15 minutes
Combat readiness time: no more than 5 minutes
Kill probability (by one missile): 90–95%
Target engagement zone
Aircraft
Altitude: 15 meters – 25 kilometers (50 feet – 15.5 miles)
Range: 3–42 kilometres (2–26 miles)
Tactical ballistic missiles
Altitude: 2.0–16 kilometres (1.2–9.9 miles)
Range: 3–20 kilometres (1.9–12.4 miles)
Sea targets: up to 25 kilometres (16 miles)
Land targets: up to 15 kilometres (9.3 miles)
And that's not even the most modern system they have.
We could beat them. But it would not be as easy as you think and we would have to take losses, maybe even heavy losses, in the process.

I believe we could beat the Russians but the operative word is US.

Regarding autoloaders, found this this video regarding proposals to install an autoloader in a future Abrams M-1 (A3?). Skip ahead to the 2:42 mark.
