So Caecus opines that 100,000 or 140,000 Russians is not enough. Add to it some Belarus formations and the calculus changes. Russia already has a huge advantage in artillery, aircraft and tanks. If the advantage was tanks alone, you could argue that Javelin antitank missiles would offset or negate the advantage. But what can a javelin antitank missile do against an aircraft? Maybe Caecus could bring elucidation on the subject?
