Where are the 10.000 Tanks? On the satellite images of the large storages they have all but disappeared. Aircraft deliveries is in the high single/ low double digit number range. In which parallel universe are these tens of thousands of tanks and hundreds of new aircraft stored? The hundreds of thousands of well trained troops? They pulled specialists from Nuclear forces and Missile/Space forces to Ukraine. And they are stalling in Ukraine since four Years because they don't want to win?! Guys, come on. Seriously. The only thing which they are really putting out in high numbers are Arty shells and Gerans. Everything else saw rather a decline.
The only area where they are for sure still to be feared (besides terror attacks with hundreds of Shaheds/Gerans) is Nuclear. In that area thea have thousands of Warheads in all sizes and as we have seen in Iran shooting barrages of ballistic missiles is hard/impossible to fully intercept. A little question mark is the readiness of these systems. But they have so many that this is still a fundamental risk to mankind.
A scenario could be an invasion into one of the baltics followed by demonstration nuclear strike high over Poland or other countries potentially willing to help combined with the threat that the next one goes to Warsaw or Berlin.
