- sudosysgen 6y agoGermany isn't going to fight Russia alone, it's going to fight Russia with the entire EU per article 42 section 7 of the TEU. France has 530 MBTs, Spain 550, and Italy 480. This compares favourably with the 2600 Russian tanks, and with proper logistical backbone, advanced air support, infantry support, and competent missile defence systems, is way more than necessary to stall a Russian offensive. Of course, once the Russian offensive is stalled, Germany alone can vastly outproduce Russia, and that's the worst case scenario. The US is not necessary for Germany to defend against Russia.
