No amount of extra equipment would help Russian tanks, it's their inablility to penetrate armor. Which is why I compared it to the war in Iraq. It was not my intention to make the Iraq war the perfect simularity in a Soviet vs. United States scenario but at point blank range, Russian T72s were no match against an Abrams.

Again I shall repeat.
The army of Iraq had tanks T-72M approximately 1980 of release (analogue T-72A in the USSR with shells 3BM22 approximately 1976 of release against
М1А2 (1992) and M1A1 (1985) - with the newest shells! (for example M829A3 - 2002)
I do not understand as you can compare these two armies!!! The army of Iraq has what similarity to army of the USSR???
You were at war against the small country which has initially prepared for defeat. Present a moral spirit the soldier when against him there is a modern technics, and at him only the weapon of the end of 70th years! Представmте that he feels, when he is at war with the country - super power.
And now look at Russia: we have thousand-year history of intrusions on the territory. After the Mongolian intrusion not one foreign force could not win and subordinate us. We were at war with Napoleon (the best army of the Europe), with Hitler (the best army in the world for that moment) and left winners.
We have a military training how to struggle with modern technics, and we have a weapon that it to destroy.
The moral spirit of our army on two orders above than it was in Iraq.
But I do not represent moral spirit of your army when it will start to sustain greater losses. When from fighting starts half of pilots will come back only. When you will see as your tanks have weak places.
Your trouble in that that you HAVE got used to be at war with armies initially more poorly. The belief in the of the weapon at you became full. It actually is bad as effectively to use the weapon, you should know and its weaknesses also.
