No, not that. My question was primarily referring to EU's capability to repel Russian invasion had Putin decided to make his 'rush to English Channel' pipe dream a reality. Given that it takes combined effort of entire EU on top of the biggest European land army to just hold Russia back - how did Europe plan to defend themselves?

2014 was a red alert only few countries besides Ukraine bothered to notice. Human complacency is such an amazing thing sometimes.

I wonder what was EU's plan had Putin's invasion come as planned. In case say, Russian military being indeed competent enough, Ukraine putting little to no resistance and White House being occupied by Trump? Not entirely fictional scenario just few years ago. What was Europe's plan back then?

Aviation, I presume. While not as advanced as say, F-35, Russian jets are still fairly decent, on par with F-15/16. For ancient Iranian Air Force those will be like a breath of fresh air.

Umm, they shot down 44 of 50 missiles but remaining six somehow hit 18 targets? Do they have separating warheads or something? *sarcasm, obviously*

By this point all Putin has to do is to repeat the same thing next year. And a year after. And then, no one will return so desolated Ukraine will be his to take.

Does General Staff has some strategy to counter this scenario? Unlikely, but it's not like they have much choice. Western support won't last that long regardless.
