Russia Will Not Last Even Five Days in a War with Europe: Aviation Expert Named the Reasons

In his opinion, Russia does not have the real resources to initiate a genuine aggression against Europe. However, the Russians may resort to provocations in such a way that it cannot be proven that they were the ones who carried out these actions. As the expert notes, Europe does not expect a serious threat from Russia, but understands that there will be provocations. Therefore, Europeans will simply try to contain Russian provocations. "When it comes to air defense, armored vehicles, aviation – the capabilities of the Russians have decreased by two times in some areas and by three times in others over the past five years," said Krivolap. He also added that this is not even considering the significant losses in personnel. "Europe, even if it does not have defenses against many types of weapons, can raise its aviation and do what aviation can do – for European armies, this is a matter of one week. F-35s, F-15s, F-18s are deployed, and they turn Russia into a country where it is impossible to do anything," believes Krivolap. He cited the example of Ukraine striking Russian territory at oil refineries and enterprises producing components for missiles or other weapons. "In this sense, for Europe, defeating Russia is a serious operation, but not the most difficult one. And perhaps that is why Europeans regard this Russian threat in such a way – to play politics, to engage in different games… But they fully understand that Russia will not last even five days against this entire European armada," emphasized the expert. According to him, Europeans will not only contain but can also destroy everything. "And no nuclear triad will be able to help the Russians," said Krivolap. However, he stated that the situation with Ukraine is entirely different, as it is being provided with enough resources and weapons to withstand somehow.
