The Telegraph: US Could Crush Russia At Any Moment

Without nuclear weapons and ground troops.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently said that the U.S. military could provide "very good protection" to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal, while emphasizing that American troops "will not set foot on the ground," writes The Telegraph (translated by Charter97.org).

Washington is indeed capable of incapacitating the Russian military without using nuclear weapons or putting troops into Ukraine.

Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many considered it an almost equal rival to the United States. However, the war has shown otherwise. Russia's Kalibr cruise missiles proved to be incomparable to the U.S. Tomahawks. Kremlin-designated "superweapons" like the Kinzhal and Zircon have shown poor results: "Kinzhal" has been repeatedly intercepted by the U.S. Patriot, and "Zirkon" has also failed to prove its effectiveness.

The fifth generation of Russian Su-57 fighter jets is inferior to its Western counterparts and is produced in extremely small series. Sanctions have further undermined Russia's defense industry.

As a result, Ukraine, armed with less modern assets, was able to stop Moscow's offensive in 2022. This indicates that Russia is far from being an "equal competitor" to the United States.

Military analysts say that in the event of a direct confrontation, the United States could have engaged Tomahawks, JASSMs, and given Ukraine ATACMS missiles and their modernized versions. American capabilities in stealth technology, electronic warfare and aerial refueling would play a key role.

Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, which have shown vulnerability even to primitive drones, are unlikely to be able to withstand a massive strike. Losing control of the skies, the Russian army would be under attack like the forces of Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi.

The United States has sufficient military superiority to guarantee Ukraine's security without bringing in troops and without risking nuclear escalation.
