I agree. The normal production line ramp up like WWII would be way too late for an accelerated war. It is a come as you are party. West of a chosen line, the Russians would not have a single vehicle, SAM or aircraft that didn’t meet a near immediate destruction. It’s no longer a 20th century type of warfare.
It's not, and they've proven capable of adapting to it by utilizing smaller combined arms platoons/battalions, drones, missiles, etc, after initially demilitarizing Ukraine though WWI-style trench/arty warfare.
NATO has been trying its damnedest to get Russia to take the bait so they can invoke Article 5. It hasn't worked so far, so I don't think Russia is gonna let them choose the line. I think our leaders are so hell-bent on this that I could see them falling for a feint that would result in an over-extension. And they'll be getting advice from politically appointed generals who just as likely have a 20th-century view on tactics. I can see Russia welcoming a war of attrition within 500km of its borders, where its military is a sledgehammer, artillery can still be effective, supply lines are short, and only having to outlast NATO until its depleted.
Russia is not going to take any bait. They are only interested in Ukraine. Primarily because it is DS central with a Nazi army, bio labs, etc.
