"Thanks for repeating. Yes of course. Except the US none of these countries has as powerfull bombers as B52 or B2. But like I understood the thread-theme is how well the infantrie is trained. In a modern kind of war infantrie is nothing without airpower, that's right."

No it goes far beyond that. It's comms, unit intelligence/recon capabilities, logistics capabilities, planning capabilities, unit training, individual troop intelligence, individual education level, individual military training(airborne, sniper, ranger, etc, etc, etc), coordination, indirect support, unit counter-battery capability, rotary aviation support, lift capabilities, overland transport capabilities, and then finally air support assets.

As a total package, a US Army Mechanized Infantry division is without peer or rival.

It's not even close.
