War is not won by a single heroic act (except in US war movies - they always have to have the singular hero).

War is won by multiple players nawing away, little bite by little bite.
I think you’d be better off with the bicycle and pistol than your Extra 300. It will be cheaper, equally as effective in defeating the Russians, and less vulnerable to modern A-A missiles.
