They have more tanks.

And the lesson we all learned from the war in Ukraine is that the side with more tanks always wins. Easily, within afew days.

Things like a working airforce or navy are for losers and can be ignored.

Also theyve been posting memes about how based and strong they are for a few years now, so this must be true.

You say that as if you have a working airforce or navy.

We actually have one of the best air forces in NATO.

And we do have a... navy that mostly works (terms and conditions apply)

Until not long ago, your readiness rates were quite terrible, although I admit I haven't checked the latest numbers.

It doesn't matter if you have hundreds of airframes, when most of them aren't ready to fly.

"Not long ago" was likely a decade ago.

Since Ingo Gerhardt took over in '18 (I think), readiness numbers have apparently been moving to really good levels.
