They don't have more tanks, or many other types of munitions than Russia.. And their production of key things like artillery shells is a fraction of that of Russia. If Russia is able to fight each country in Europe without the help of the others, it would eventually win all the fights and get stronger as it went along. A united Europe would win, but a divided one would likely fall.
Europe's plan for war didn't need lots of artillery shells. However Europe isn't providing Ukraine with the air power needed to fight without lots of artillery which makes one wonder if they have enough capacity to build more if a competent Russia had attacked Europe instead.
Fair point. A united Europe can certainly defeat Russia, it's only a divided one I'm concerned with.
