I’m not using revisionist history.
I’m using I lived it history.
The JNA was I think the 4th largest army at the collapse of Yugo, their kit was ####. Appalling quality crap, they just had a lot of it.
It solidified my opinion that while it would hurt NATO would be the Warsaw Pact in a conventional war.
It has always been and continues to be the threat of Nuclear weapons that build Moscow’s “strength”
