Could Russia easily subdue Britain if it wanted?

Could Russia easily subdue Britain if it wanted?


Even if you put both countries next to each other with a land only border ie removed the sea and the fact the UK Navy would sink the Russian Navy in days or maybe hours, you then removed nuclear weapons and any outside help what would happen?

There would be a numerically superior Russian army which would be annihilated by the better equipped, trained, more powerful air force, better moral, logistics, tactics, spirit, intelligence, leadership, etc of the UK forces.

Add to this they would probably have to come through Scotland and the North of England whose people would be a huge challenge on top of the military.

No the Russians could not defeat the UK in any conflict.

Edit update: I assume due to the number of responses / likes this answer has been flagged up to some of the Russian / Trolls groups.

I am receiving many stupid troll answers that are rude, incorrect or sinister. Additionally some people obviously do not read well or have not understood my answer as well as some posts which do not relate to my answer. I am therefore blocking further responses.

Here is America's only soldier to ever receive Israel’s highest honor conferred on non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.  77 years ago, facing the threat of immediate execution, he and his men displayed an act of courage and character that exemplifies what it means to take a stand against evil. US Army Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, 422nd Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division, the “Golden Lions”, was captured by German forces at the onset of the Battle of the Bulge.  A native of Knoxville, TN, Edmonds was 25 years old.

One day, a math teacher from Minnesota gave her students the following assignment:  One day, a math teacher from Minnesota gave her students the following assignment:  make a class list, think about what they like most about each of their classmates, and write down this quality next to their last name.  At the end of the lesson she collected the lists. It was on Friday.  Over the weekend, she processed the results and on Monday distributed to each student a piece of paper on which she listed all the good things that their classmates noticed in him. The guys were reading, and here and there a whisper was heard: “Is this really all about me? I didn’t know I was loved so much. They didn't discuss the results in class, but the teacher knew she had achieved her goal. Her students believed in themselves.   A few years later, one of these guys died in Vietnam. He was buried in his homeland, Minnesota.  Friends, former classmates, and teachers came to say goodbye t...

🇺🇲A Salute to Melvin E Biddle. Recipient of   Congressional Medal of Honor and Hero of the Battle of the Bulge. Serving as lead scout during an attack to relieve the enemy-encircled town of Hotton, Pfc. Biddle aggressively penetrated a densely wooded area, advanced 400 yards until he came within range of intense enemy rifle fire, and within 20 yards of enemy positions killed three snipers with unerring marksmanship. Courageously continuing his advance an additional 200 yards, he discovered a hostile machinegun position and dispatched its two occupants.  He then located the approximate position of a well-concealed enemy machinegun nest, and crawling forward threw hand grenades which killed two Germans and fatally wounded a third. After signaling his company to advance, he entered a determined line of enemy defense, coolly and deliberately shifted his position, and shot three more enemy soldiers.  Undaunted by enemy fire, he crawled within 20 yards of a machinegun ne...

On this day 10th March 1945.

On this day 10th March 1945. 67 Germans tunneled out of a prisoners of war camp at Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales, United kIngdom; all were captured within a week, including two who were caught by an unarmed girl working with the Auxiliary Territorial Service. From the outset, those in charge at Island Farm were acutely aware of the risk of escape by the prisoners and the potential risks that an escape would pose. Sabotage of vital war work was feared as the camp was within a mile of the munitions factory which employed 39,000 and in the heart of industrial south Wales which was so crucial to the war effort. Their fears were well founded. In January 1945, a tunnel was discovered and though the camp commander and guards realised that it was likely to be a diversionary tunnel, they failed to find the other. It was through this second tunnel, with its entrance in Hut 9, that the officers made their escape in March 1945. On 10 March, the German soldiers gathered in the hut to make their wa...

We examine Mohammed Anwar el Sadat’s terrible murder in light of the aforementioned.As president of Egypt , Mohammed Anwar el Sadat was the one who was most closely guarded.

On May 9, 1945, Hermann Goering, commander in chief of the Luftwaffe, president of the Reichstag, head of the Gestapo, prime minister of Prussia, and Hitler's designated successor, was captured by the American Seventh Army in Bavaria. Goering, an early member of the Nazi Party, suffered injuries during a failed Munich beer hall raid in 1923, leading to long-term dependence on painkillers. After Hitler came to power, Goering was instrumental in setting up concentration camps for political dissidents. Known for his lavish lifestyle, he often changed uniforms and displayed his decorations, jewelry, and stolen art. After ordering German Jews out of the economy after Kristallnacht in 1938, he began policies of confiscating Jewish property and businesses. Goering's inability to win the Battle of Britain and stop the Allied bombing of Germany reduced his standing within the party. His egotism and close association with Hitler further alienated him from his fellow officers. As the war ...
