Can the US beat Russia in a conventional war?

[Superboy]

I don't think so because Russia has like twice the number of tanks the US has, plus Russia has hundreds of thousands of anti tank guided missiles.

 

[Selous]

Russia will let the US invade...and then just wait for winter.

 

[Zaalim]

neither can win a conventional war.

this isn't 20th century , you think US soldiers don't have winter gear?
or US will have a problem delivering them to its soldiers?

This might change your mind:

You do know the US has a lot of snow too right? We aren't the Germans, we are prepared for arctic warfare. Hell, the Alaska National Guard deals with this year round as does Elmendorf-Richardson air base and Eielson Air Force base, both of which are in Alaska. Even outside of Alaska snow is common enough that the military has experience with it.

The US Air Force and Navy have experience with snow. We train with countries like Norway, Sweden, Japan and Canada - all of which have a lot of snow. We are an arctic nation too, our Navy is present in the arctic; our Air Force operates in snowy climates and can easily reach Russia from US soil. The snow is not a danger to the US military.

US will win but with huge collateral Damage

Goodness...you guys can't appreciate a joke ? Besides if history has taught us anything it's that the US is incapable of winning just about any war. I am pretty sure that if the US had to go to war against Lesotho or Swaziland they would loose.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

USA will win...it has the money,the manpower,more advanced weapons industry n tech n numerical superiority in almost (not a doubt) in everything.

Please go on enlighten us with your wisdom.

It's not so much as the ability to deal with snow. As to the population capable of Arctic warfare.

The average Russian can handle the brutal winters, in the US the only populations capable are: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Alaska, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire.

Yes. Victory is decided by the number of tank and anti-tank missiles.

 

[marbella]

if one lives in any country be it pakistan or russia or any 3rd wrld country will always vote for russia. but the day he gets us visa, opinion changes dramatically.

 

[Superboy]

IMO, even if a million American soldiers get killed, the US still would not beat Russia in a conventional war, especially if the war is waged in Russia.

 

[boomslang]

Russia has to drive to any war. They can't project. We fly our shit around the world.
