If the world War is being between Russia And America who will win?
Answers
I guess America will win can't say it........
......
On a nuclear level neither side would win as they would be both too busy glowing in the dark…
Otherwise, it depends a lot on who attacks whom and how… But let’s first compare their strengths at the Global Firepower website.
Population: the USA has twice as many people as Russia so advantage USA. (1–0)
Active military personnel: the USA has more active soldiers. Advantage USA. (2–0)
Active military reserves: Russia has as many reserves as the USA has in active and reserve troops. Advantage Russia. (2–1)
Air superiority: The USA has almost 4 times the number of Russian aircrafts. Advantage USA. (3–1)
Land superiority: Russia has 4 times the number of tanks and three times the number of artillery. Advantage Russia. (3–2)
Fleet strength: The USA has slightly more submarines, frigates and a whole lot more destroyers. But the USA has no corvettes and Russia has more corvettes than the USA has destroyers. Russia also has more mine warfare crafts and patrol boats. The USA has a whole lot more carriers but carriers provide aerial strength, not naval strength so I skip those. So they’re more or less tied. (4–3)
Oil production: The US produces about 4/5th of what Russia is producing so Russia will have slightly more fuel available. Russia’s oil reserves are also twice as large. Advantage Russia. (4–4)
So, in military strength they’re almost at equal strength. GFP still puts the USA at number one but it’s a very close call. More likely, any war between both will end up in a stalemate. But it is the environment that might give one side a bigger advantage than the other.
Both countries can attack one another by crossing the North Pole but as Canada is in the way, the Russians would only be able to take Alaska before they have to use naval or air forces. The USA has similar problems if they want to strengthen their position in Alaska but their ships and planes would not be in hostile territories. The US could use Alaska to move troops over the north pole into Russia also but it’s not an easy trip for a large army and definitely bad terrain to fly over.
So an attack over the Pacific would be more likely, but the distance is a bit far for planes to cross. The USA has quite a few carriers but as I noted, Russia has a lot of corvettes. And corvettes are generally used against air attacks and missiles. But the difference between modern corvettes and destroyers isn’t as huge as it used to be. Still, those carriers would provide the US a powerful air force to use to attack Russia.
Furthermore, carriers are limited in the number of planes they can carry. With 20 carriers and about 60 planes stationed per carrier, the US would have up to 1,200 planes available near Russia. Still, that would be half the number of fighter aircrafts of the US and still more fighter aircrafts than Russia has. Question is if they can get past the Russian air defences. The US would still need to land their forces somewhere in Russia.
Russia attacking the US would be more challenging due to the lack of carriers. The Russian fleet would have troubles defending itself, even though their AA weaponry is effective. But they too would need to land somewhere in the USA and Alaska is the closest target for this purpose. But even if they take Alaska they would still have troubles taking the rest.
The US attacks Russia: Russia will win.
Russia attacks the USA: The USA will win.
So basically, the one who will defend itself will be the most likely winner. So it’s a stalemate.
