    Well they might be able to take Andorra (population 80,000) but I would
    love to see them try a rematch with Finland which these days is armed
    for bear :)

    280,000 men
    300 Leopard 2A tanks
    F-18 Hornets
    Modern AA installations
    Modern Artillery

    Oh and they are REALLY good at ambush tactics, especially the Jaeger units

    Then of course there are the Swedish , Norwegians and everyone else. As
    of today the main weight of the Russian army has managed to capture an abandoned steelworks and is still stalled outside the small city they
    tried to capture - frankly their preformance has been abysmal. Georgi
    Zhukov must be looking down on this with horror.

    Again, ww3 will largely not be fought with tanks, infantry, artillery, or manned jets.

    Future Warfare Will Not Allow Meaningful Human Control
    These systems will not just be autonomous in terms of traditional flight, float or submersible operations, but artificially intelligent to the point of self-awareness, allowing them to instantaneously—without human intervention—adapt to new
    situations, threats, targets and a multitude of tasks on the battlefield. https://www.thecipherbrief.com/article/tech/future-warfare-will-not-allow-meaningful-human-control

    Warfighting of the future will occur across numerous domains, involving multiple weapons systems coordinating with each other through interlinked computer networks—all at the speed of light. The human brain cannot possibly process these factors at a
    tempo necessary for meaningful involvement. https://www.thecipherbrief.com/article/tech/can-robots-fight-wars-the-future-of-lethal-autonomous-weapons-systems

    The United States, China, and Russia are already locked in a new arms race to gain nanoweapons supremacy.
    Millions of insect size drones...are projected to become the new weapons of mass destruction. But controlling millions of nanobots is difficult; once released, they may go beyond an adversary's boarders and kill indiscriminately.
    http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-book-reveals-nanoweapons-more-problematic-than-nuclear-weapons-300434049.html

    The F-22 is ...an attempt to maintain a weapon system that is no longer suited to the new technological reality.
    compared with the missile, the manned plane suffers from a growing inferiority. The efforts made by the manufacturers of the aircraft (Lockheed Martin and Boeing) to adapt the manned aircraft to the new military reality only bring about a price increase
    without returning it to its previous position
    since all that is required of the manufacturers of the new weapon systems - the missile and the unmanned aircraft...are not bound by the limitations of the human body, they will be much superior to the F-22 aircraft

    I'm familiar with the Winter War, but that was literally more than 80 years ago. The technology has improved exponentially since then. I'm not even saying Russia is going to win ww3 - they won't. But it will look nothing like the Winter War and
    nothing like what's happening in Ukraine. Restraint is still the rule of the day. Not for long..

    Russia will strike West if US rockets hit us, says Putin ally
    “If, God forbid, these weapons are used against Russian territory then our armed forces will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centres,” said Dmitry Medvedev, a former prime minister under Putin who is deputy chairman of Russia’s
    national security council.
    “Of course, it needs to be understood that the final decision-making centres in this case, unfortunately, are not located on the territory of Kyiv”
