look up russian army vs us army while your at it. And don't kid yourself about capability.
The russian ground force capability, and in particular the excellent and very large artillery were the main reasons why US doctrine in the Fulda gap was solely based on tactical nukes. Our leaders knew that even with air superiority(which is not a guaranteed thing, russia excels in surface to air tech as well), and a technical advantage we could not beat them without use of tactical nukes.
To be blunt some of the newer weapon systems that russia has recently developed are pretty damned impressive. The newer T90 MBT are at the least on equal footing with the Abrams, Merkava, leopard 2, etc...
There not just playing the old "overwhelming" numbers game.
