There are 2 parts I will divide this answer to and that is both nuclear and conventional warfare.Nuclear WarfareBrief Answer: The most likely winners to possibly survive this are the Russians. They are simply building brand new ground radars to monitor Europe as Europe is doing the same thing. But the majority of their nuclear weapons ignore Europe’s defense shield still with the capability to strike any country, while the US or Europe has yet to present weapons similar to Russia.Longer Answer to whyKinzhalRussia Releases Footage of New ‘Kinzhal’ Nuclear-Capable Air-Launched Missile“The missile flying at a hypersonic speed, 10 times faster than the speed of sound, can also maneuver at all phases of its flight trajectory,” Putin continued.”At least the U.S.(I do not think any EU country has the same capabilities) has mobile defense systems that can intercept IRBMs, MRBMs and SRBMs than eventually ICBMs(we can only do it with ground based air defenses). They have launch phases, midcourse phases and terminal phases. This is a nice image of interceptions done before ballistic missiles enter the terminal phase. The Kinzhal would have been an easy target but its purpose as Putin stated is to maneuver at every stage and doing so would throw off guidance systems trying to intercept the missile.ZirconPutin Reveals Zircon Mach 9 Missile SpecificationSo far tested at mach 9 but this missile is slightly more problematic than kinzhal because.The flight ceiling is at 30–40kms and if you look at the graph that means radars barely have time to track this hypersonic target because the radar horizon to track it is way lower. You can use this Horizon calculator - radar and visual and put whatever you want for H1 and you will realize why scramjets are more difficult targets than ballistic missiles.Just like the Kinzhal it is a very maneuverable missile with a semi-ballistic trajectory.Uses a plasma cover to make itself supposedly invisible to radars based on low altitude density and speeds. To know more how it can be done look into one of my popular answers here. Jeff Jaworski's answer to Is the Zircon missile invisible to radar because of its plasma covering?AvangardThis hypersonic vehicle gets released from an ICBM at altitudes of 100–150kms. Its basically what I call the successful version of the U.S. HTV-2 project. It is a maneuverable target with speeds similar to ICBMs with a low altitude flight ceiling. Also a small target with a 5 meter length giving radars an already limited time to track the target besides its altitudes. And finishes off the final portion of its flight going mach 27 with a scramjet engine. Sources are here in one of my previous popular answers. Jeff Jaworski's answer to Will the new Russian Avangard missile really "make missile defenses useless"?Sarmatian missileSarmat“The Sarmat's silos will be protected by active protection measures including 100 guns capable of firing a metallic cloud of forty thousand 30mm bullets to an altitude of up to 6km. The Russians are also planning to protect the Sarmat with their new S-500 air defense systems. Finally, the missile's preparation to launch is under 60 seconds utilizing a highly automated launch system. All in, the Sarmat will be the best protected silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile ever put into service worldwide”The U.S. will need 500 anti-missile rockets to beat Russia's new ICBM, senator boastsTitle is self explanatory.It has liquid fuel in which I have heard solid fuel has a shorter boost phase but it seems that this liquid fuel might be a little special for it offers a short boost phase as well. Current missile defenses would be given a less time to track and intercept this ICBM and has its silos protected by defense systems to allow this missile to go full speed ahead.BurevestnikBurevestnik“The Burevestnik, 'Stormbringer' in English and previously known as Global Cruise Missile, is a small supersonic cruise missile provided with artificial intelligence (AI) to evade missile defenses. The missile has intercontinental range in excess of 10,000+ kilometers (probably close to 20,000 kilometers) and may be equipped with a nuclear warhead. The missile existence was confirmed by President Putin on March 1, 2018. The missile is fired from a ground facility and is directed autonomously to its intended target flying at low altitude avoiding both obstacles and missile defenses following an unpredictable trajectory. The key element of the cruise missile is a nuclear power unit which allegedly provides unlimited range. The missile is expected to follow any trajectory to reach its intended target. The first test firing of the Global Cruise Missile occurred in late 2017.”A nuclear ramjet missile with speeds estimated mach 3–5. Missiles that can hit anywhere. Avoid defense missile shields by flying at low altitudes and specifically avoiding them taking different flight paths. More specifications have yet to be disclosed about the project but its brief explanation tells us its intended purpose.PoseidonPoseidonThe Russian Navy Ocean Multipurpose System Poseidon, also known as Status-6, is a strategic torpedo delivered by special submarines capable of crossing distances of 10,000 kilometers at speeds of up to 185 kph and depths of 1,000 meters. Derived from the T-15 torpedo, the new weapon is basically an unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with an advanced navigation system. The Status-6 torpedo may be used to deliver massive nuclear warheads (up to 100 Megatons) or highly radioactive cobalt bombs off the coast of the United States of America against targets such as naval bases, industrial facilities, ports and large cities. The Status-6 weapon existence was leaked in November 2015 and may enter into service in the 2019-2020 timeframe. On March 1, 2018, President Putin revealed the Status-6 unmanned underwater vehicle with the capability not only to hit onshore facilities but also US aircraft carriers battle groups. The Status-6 is to be released by a modified Oscar-class submarine. Russia will deploy four submarines, two in the Northern Sea fleet and two with the Pacific fleet, with eight torpedoes each begining in 2019.A new Russian video may show a 'doomsday machine' able to trigger 300-foot tsunamis — but nuclear weapons experts question why you'd ever build one"A well-placed nuclear weapon of yield in the range 20 MT to 50 MT near a sea coast could certainly couple enough energy to equal the 2011 tsunami, and perhaps much more," Rex Richardson, a physicist who researches nuclear weapons, told Business Insider in March, referring to the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 15,000 people in Japan."Taking advantage of the rising-sea-floor amplification effect, tsunami waves reaching 100 meters in height" — about 330 feet — "are possible," he said.Greg Spriggs, a nuclear-weapons physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, said a 50-megaton weapon "could possibly induce a tsunami" and hit a shoreline with the energy equivalent to a 650-kiloton blast.We have 2 physicists contradicting each other where ones says close to shoreline where waters are shallow and the other said near sea coast and well placed detonation. Even if Spriggs estimation was based on a detonation in a not so effective area the supposedly reduced detonation he is referring as a 650 kiloton blast will still commit its purpose to kill a lot of people. You also can’t have your detonations to deep like the Mariana trench or the nuke wont be that effective fighting off the water pressure. Currently we do have seabed SONAR projects but as of now there is no defense system in development to intercept these weapons. And of course no satellite or radar information can pick this up.EU NATO’s Nuclear InventorySRBMs: Hades and Pluton: In France range too short to reach Russia. J-600T Yıldırım III: supersonic easy to intercept by short or medium range SAMs. Grom: 500km range, numbers have yet to be determined.MRBMs: Blue Streak: Cancelled. SSBS: Retired. J-600T Yıldırım IV: In development.IRBMs: Thor: 250 built no estimation on who got what amount between Britain and the US. However since development was in late 1950s most of it is retired. S3: all silos and missile facilities dismantled.ICBMs: No European country has these.SLBMs: Trident 2: 4 Vanguard submarines can carry 16 each so 64 of these. M45 and M51: The Le Redoutable class has been decommissioned so that leaves the Le Triomphant class with 4 nuclear submarines each that can carry 16 of these so 64 of these.Basically Russia’s goal is to intercept at least 128 SLBMs and to do that lets look at their missile defense shield next.Russia’s Defense ShieldS-500SLBMs are pretty much like ICBM targets that our launched from sea instead of Land. Valeriy Ivanov on VKO, S-500, S-400 There are 10 battalions that are planned to be built maybe the numbers could have changed. 41 s-400 battalions consisted of s-400 320 launchers and an S-400 system with 8 launchers is considered the usual norm with its multiple radars, trucks and missile armament so just about 10 s-300 systems each with the capability to simultaneously track and engage 10 ICBM targets and if each system would work separately this can consist of 100 SLBMs to be destroyed depending on their successful interceptions.These are the projected missiles so far:40N6M “The 40N6M is an extended range variant of the 40N6 long-range surface-to-air missile developed to support the S-500 long-range air defense and upgraded variants of the S-400 missile system. The 40N6M missile has a maximum range of 310 nautical miles (575 kilometers). The missile flies at very high altitude at hypersonic speeds of Mach 9. The 40N6M can engage targets flying up to Mach 15.6 at altitudes of up to 155 nautical miles (290 kilometers) such as satellites and hypersonic aircraft and missiles. One of the key elements of the new missile is its guidance system that differs from its predecessors due to the inability of ground-based radars to guide missiles in near space. The 40N6M missile blast fragmentation warhead has been designed to provide a hit probability of 95 percent.”77N6-N “The 77N6 is a hypersonic interceptor family developed for the S-500 strategic air defense system to engage incoming ballistic missiles and warheads at very high altitude in near space. The first 77N6 interceptors were tested in 2014 and are expected to enter service by 2020. The missiles have a maximum range of 600 kilometers and can reach an altitude of 200 kilometers.The 77N6-N missile remains classified but it would be fitted with a hit-to-kill, conventional or small tactical nuclear warhead.”A-235Just to let everyone know this map image is incomplete. For example they are planning to build the Voronezh-SM in Crimea by 2020 and are planning to build 2 more new Voronezh ground radars in the Komi Republic and Murmansk region.Russia Successfully Tests Short-Range Anti-Missile SystemThe A-235 will have missiles capable of operating at three different ranges: long-range, based on the 51T6 and capable of destroying targets at distances up to 1500 km (930 miles), at altitudes up to 800,000 m; medium-range, an update of the 58R6, designed to hit targets at distances up to 1000 km (620 miles), at altitudes up to 120,000 m; and short-range (the 53T6M or 45T6 (based on the 53T6)), with an operating range of 350 km (215 miles) and a flight ceiling of 40,000-50,000 mVery modest expectations: Performance of Moscow missile defenseThe A-135 in 1987 was expected to handle 1–2 ICBMs and 35 IRBMs. Basically a S-500 with a mobile radar can handle 10 ICBMs simultaneously and since the A-235 is an ongoing development this behemoth of a missile defense shield might give some huge staggering numbers on the ICBM count range.Europe’s Defense ShieldI do not even really want to bother with this but here we go anyways.Jeff Jaworski's answer to How well does the Patriot missile system really work?The majority of their missile defense systems are PACs-3 and if you click on my answer link you will realize why I draw the conclusions that these missile defense systems are absolutely horrible with interception rates and why Raytheon outsourced the development to Rafael.EPAA(European Phased Adaptive Approach)Has 4 phases in which the 1st two deal with SRBM and MRBM targets. 3rd phase deals with MRBMs in addition to IRBM targets. and the 4th phase in 2020 timeframe is to deal with MRBM and IRBM targets and eventually in the future ICBM targets. Most of these systems consist of AEGIS and THAADs which according to test results so far can deal with 1 MRBM and IRBM at a time. Maybe they can handle more but those are the results as of now.Conclusion to Nuclear WarfareI wanted to list Russia's current nuclear missile arsenal but there is no point because they can still annihilate Europe. And if Europe was able to bring out battalions of S-500s with the A-235 related system close to Russia the Russians still have too many ICBMs among other ballistic missiles to still destroy Europe. And If Europe gets to the point like the Russians to deal with many ICBM targets there is no guarantee that they would be able to deal with Russia’s new nuclear weapons whose intended purpose is to ignore missile defense shields and still go on their marry way to hit their strategic targets.Conventional WarfareBrief Answer: To me this is counted as using no nukes but troops, tanks, air force and missile related kind of things. However my answer to this is that the Russians win again. Europes air force would get immediately decimated by either long range SAMs or hypersonic missiles when landing in their locations. Newer tanks + upgrades, exoskeleton body armor, new weapons, longer range artillery like rockets and howitzers with the combination of EW will allow the Russians to blitz through Europe.Longer Answer to whyDealing with Europe’s AirforceSpot on: Russia to track future US missiles with upgraded over-the-horizon radar“The 29B6 OTH radar was reported as deployed for trials near the town of Kovylkino in Mordovia in December 2013. This is where the receiving antennas and main processing equipment were located. The transmitting antennas were located outside Gorodets in Nizhny Oblast.This was the first OTH radar capable of monitoring airspace up to a range of over 3,000km. Its coverage included airspace over Poland, Germany, and the Baltics all the way to Turkey, Syria and Israel.Unlike the Duga, the Container's signal is reflected by the ionosphere only once, allowing for more accurate target detection. This allows it to track even small planes over Western Europe. The station can detect a mass launch towards Russia of cruise missiles, deployments of aircraft and hypersonic cruise missiles, when they are ready.Upgrading the watchful eyeBy 2018, the Container system was significantly improved. In early December, the Ministry of Defense announced that upgraded OTH radar is now on trial duty in Russia's Mordovia region. In six months, it is expected to be fully operational and enter regular service.Basically, the same location was used for the deployment of a new OTH radar station that is far superior to the old Container (29B6). The new station has a larger detection zone. Now it is capable of discovering aerodynamic targets in a 240-degree arc, compared to 180 degrees for the old system. The computing systems and tracking stability have been improved significantly.The new Container radar is capable of detecting and tracking over 5,000 air targets simultaneously. It can also track a small plane right on the runway, or detect launch and track the warhead of short- or intermediate-range ballistic missiles, which have smaller radar cross-sections than their intercontinental cousins.There is one more important thing. When hypersonic aircraft and short- and intermediate-range missile warheads fly at high altitudes, an ionization signature forms around them in the form of a compression wave in front and an ionization wake behind. This makes them easier to detect by OTH radar already trained to analyze the state of the ionosphere.”Modeling and performance of HF/OTH (High-Frequency/Over-the-Horizon) radar targe “Several Radar Target Identification (RTI) techniques have been developed at The Ohio State University in recent years. Using the ElectroScience Laboratory compact range a large database of coherent RCS measurement has been constructed for several types of targets (aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles) at a variety of polarizations, aspect angles, and frequency bands. This extensive database has been used to analyze the performance of several different classification algorithms through the use of computer simulations. In order to optimize classification performance, it was concluded that the radar frequency range should lie in the Rayleigh-resonance frequency range, where the wavelength is on the order of or larger than the target size. For aircraft and ships with general dimensions on the order of 10 meters to 100 meters it is apparent that the High Frequency (HF) band provides optimal classification performance. Since existing HF radars are currently being used for detection and tracking or aircraft and ships of these dimensions, it is natural to further investigate the possibility of using these existing radars as the measurement devices in a radar target classification system. “Cruise missiles aircrafts all in the description of this radar system. I am assuming the bulk of Europe's air force consists of F-35s, Rafales, Typhoons and some F-16s. Currently the thing is the Russians will know wherever you are. I am very sure Europe's aircraft inventory consists of less than 5000 targets the Container radar can monitor. The majority of SEAD operations will all be done within the 3000km range. Also it is very important to take in the combat range calculations of all these aircrafts. Regarding all the S-400s, S-300s, tor, pantsir, buk and eventually s-350 and s-500 systems that come later. The majority of their entire missile defenses carry way more missiles than what NATO’s entire air force missiles can carry.Lets say that none of Russia’s air defense managed to hit a single aircraft but only their SEAD weapons. Taking combat range into account these aircrafts would be positioned at least 1000kms away or more depending on external fuel carry to make their back and forth trips. It would take roughly 3–6 minutes for the Russians to launch hypersonic missile to the location of these aircrafts that are about to land, re-fuel, restock on ammunition than about to take off. It took over 38,000 combat flights for NATO to stop the Serbs whom like the Iraqis have no long range missile defenses, constellation of satellites or OTH radars to strike aircrafts that are landing in their facilities. Looking at Russia's SAM inventory and territory in comparison to the Serbs 38,000 flights will not cut it and they will reduce that number very very quickly with long range missiles. These air defense can mobilize to Europe. Here is an example of what the future would be for their air defense systems. Jeff Jaworski's answer to Can the U.S. Air Force break the Russian Air Defence? It talks about the usage of photonic radars and mobile nuclear power plants for higher power radarsDealing with Europe’s Ground ForceAir defenses will mobilize and provide coverage from bombers,strike aircrafts and SEAD weapons and for every aircraft you see trying to attempt your demise will be the only time you will see them because each flight is their last journey of staying alive and regarding the majority of Europe's air defenses capabilities it is safe to say goodbye for each one you see on your radar screen. Also there is more coverage that protects their soldiers such as EW.EWPalantin EW systemРоссийские военные впервые применили новый комплекс подавления «Палантин»“For the first time, a separate battalion of electronic warfare at the exercises near Voronezh used the latest Palantin complex, using it to cover an interspecific group of forces in southwestern Russia. According to the tactical design of the exercise, the complex was used to protect the enemy from missile-cannon and high-precision weapons.At the moment, this "Palantine" in combat units is the only one. The second such complex is located in a training center in Tambov, where EW specialists are trained for the entire army.The Palantin complex, in accordance with its name, is able to hide an army from the enemy. It consists of 22 machines, which, scattered along the front line, work in a network, jointly deploying an invisible but impenetrable defense over the troops.Including cars can suppress satellite navigation and enemy radio communications. In addition, they are able to substitute signals that orient enemy bombs and missiles, and they will fly on their own.”Rtut-BmRtut-BM“The Rtut-BM, 'Mercury-BM' in English, is an electronic warfare (EW) system intended to protect troops and equipment from artillery rockets and shells equipped with proximity fuses which explode at 3-5 meters of altitude. The Rtut-BM affects the proximity/radio-controlled fuse making it explode at higher altitudes keeping the troops and equipment safe. Besides, the system is able to neutralize radio-frequencies employed by the enemy's communications. The Rtut-BM system is deployed on an MT-LB armored vehicle fitted with a television antenna which provides coverage for an area of 50 hectares (500,000 square meters) or a semi-sphere of 400 meters radius. The antenna can rotate -/+150-degree and its jamming signal can last for six minutes. This EW system requires a crew of two-man and can be ready for jamming within 10 minutes. The KRET corporation has been manufacturing and delivering KRET systems to the Russian Armed Forces since 2011.”Europe does not have anything close in terms of air defense and EW systems that can protect their ground forces from aircrafts, bombers, missiles, drones, rockets, artillery shells but lets further expand what protection levels can still be further given.Exoskeleton SuitsRatnik-3Ratnik 3 - Russian Combat Suit | Future Infantry Exoskeleton Combat System“One suit of the prior version, Ratnik 2, costs 200,000 rubles, equivalent to $3,500 dollars. The Russian military received 200,000 sets already. The cost of Ratnik 3 is unknown because it is still developing. The suit is comprised of five subsystems: life support, command and communication, engaging, protecting, and energy saving.It is not yet known if all of the powers and capabilities claimed by Russia can operate effectively in the Ratnik 3. The suit on display was a static example. The exoskeleton is proven to be bulletproof, fireproof and explosion-proof by tests completed by the Central Research Institute.”Feet can sense planted IEDs, Life support to stop hemorrhages, Temperatures that can handle -22 degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, torso protected from shrapnels, protection from flames, invisible in the infrared field, protection from nuclear and chemical attacks, electronic boosted hearing and protection from noise,etc.Ratnik-2Экипировка "Ратник" увеличила боевые возможности пехотинца в два разаCombat equipment "Warrior" doubled the capabilities of the infantryman. The accuracy of shooting increased 1.6 times, the range of target detection at night and in conditions of limited visibility - one and a half times.This was told by the Army Commander-in-Chief, Army General Oleg Salyukov, in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper on the eve of the Ground Forces Day, which is celebrated on October 1. He added that the set of combat equipment of the second generation "Warrior", and it has been supplied with weapons since 2015, includes elements of systems of destruction, control, protection, life support and energy supply.Army General Salyukov specified what all these elements consist of. In the destruction system - rifle, grenade and flamethrower systems, hand grenades and cold steel, in the energy supply system - power sources and chargers, power conversion and transmission equipment, in the life support system - combat equipment kits (safety glasses, hearing protection, equipment disguises), food, aid, combat clothing, and a functional state monitoring kit. The control system includes a complex of intelligence, control and communications, information processing and display facilities. An armor helmet and a protective kit are part of the protection system.“The staffing of the ground forces with new sets of combat equipment already exceeds 70 percent,” said Oleg Salyukov.Also said to withstand 10 sniper shots from 10 meters away, etc. The U.S. is making Onyx and TALOS exoskeleton suits yet nothing from Europe. So European ground troops are going to more than likely worried as hell from getting hit by all of these things while Russian ground troops are going to say something like, “I feel like Moses dividing the red sea” as they proceed to move through Europe for the amount of protection they receive from so many different assets.Tanks, Howitzers, Rocket artillery, Vehicle Launched MissilesThe worst is still far from over for our fellow European NATO military members as their adversary still sharpen their swords in other military related technologies as well.Koalitsiya-SV“The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV, Coalition-SV in English, is a self-propelled howitzer (SPH) intended to hit ground targets with high accuracy as the replacement for the 2S19 howitzers. It is fitted with a new 2A88 152mm or 155mm high pressure cannon with a maximum range of 70 kilometers firing precision-guided rounds. The Koalitsiya-SV also features automatic targeting and charge selection system reducing the vehicle's crew to four or three members only. The unmanned turret is fitted with pneumatic loader and microwave shell priming system as well as 50-70 shells allowing for a maximum rate fire of 16 rounds per minute. The artillery system is able to hit the same target simultaneously with multiple shells traveling along a different path. The early versions of 2S35 showcased in 2015 were mounted on T-90 tank chassis instead of the Armata platform.”Fires 16–20 rounds per minute and one more addition http://opp.gp-media.ru/images/nomera/OPP_4-19.pdf PG-9“Currently, the Armed the forces of the Russian Federation have some artillery systems whose shells, when shooting at maximum range, reach great heights. Of the flight trajectory can be found in the upper layers of the stratosphere where the air is very tenuous and its resistance is minimal. This factor has a positive effect on the range. With such systems, the shells of which overlook the stratospheric heights today are Coalition-SV AND 2c7m Malka. According to domestic and foreign experts, it is planned to within three years to complete the development of long-range high-precision artillery ammunition (DVAB) with a range of up to 170 km.”PzH 2000“The PzH 2000 is a 155mm 52 calibers (L52) self-propelled howitzer designed to provide indirect fire support to rapid reaction forces and artillery regiments. It is compatible with all 155 NATO standard shells and charges, and features high rates of fire with outstanding accuracy. High mobility, transportability, availability and automatic shell handling system make PzH 2000 a rapid reaction system with a round capacity for 60 units. In addition to the 155mm main gun the PzH 2000 features one coaxial and one roof-mounted 7.62mm machine guns. The 155mm main gun can hit targets at 30 km with conventional ammunition and targets at ranges of 40 km employing assisted ammunition. PzH 2000 also features Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) capability.”Or as other sources suggest max range 60kms and can fire up to 13 rounds per minute max. Outranged by Russia’s howitzers meaning NATO ground troops will be getting shelled and cant shell the Russian’s back for a longer range and if they did they are under the divine protection of their mentioned EW equipment.Smerch-MSmerch-M“The Smerch-M artillery system is an improved derivative of the combat-proven Smerch Multiple Rocket Launcher System (MLRS). It employs modified 9M55 rockets with a new propellant to extend its maximum range up to 90 kilometers.”Could also launch dronesВстроенный в снаряд РСЗО «Смерч» беспилотник прошел испытания“The drone built into the MLRS Smerch missile has been testedThe first samples of the drone are likely to be sold abroad, since Russia has already identified "structures that ensure the use of drones in the interests of the army."The press service of the concern "Tehmash" stated that work on the creation and testing of the UAV launched in the projectile of the Smerch multiple rocket launcher is in the final stage.As the General Designer of the Splav Research and Production Association Nikolay Makarovets said earlier, the UAV was developed, which is launched in the Smerch rocket launcher. According to him, the first customer is likely to become a foreign buyer, as in the Russian Federation "structures were identified that ensure the use of UAVs in the interests of the army."Recall, the MLRS "Smerch" is a 300-mm caliber Russian rocket launcher system designed to destroy personnel, armored vehicles, as well as artillery and mortar batteries and other targets.The delivery time of the drone to the target area is about 150 seconds.The MLRS "Smerch" UAV was created according to the aircraft scheme. Its main tasks are to determine wind parameters in the target area, transfer data on the recognition of reconnaissance objects with their coordinates to the command and staff vehicle, and conduct shooting results in real time mode.The information provided to the drone reported that the time spent in the air drone is up to half an hour, the mass of the payload - 7 pounds.The speed of the UAV is about 100 kilometers per hour, the maximum height is 3000 meters.”Tornado-STornado-S“The Tornado-S is a long-range multiple rocket launch system (MLRS) developed to hit targets at ranges of up to 120 kilometers with pinpoint accuracy. The Tornado-S guided rocket utilizes an improved version of the special GLONASS satellite navigation system used in the Smerch missile system. As of late 2012 the Tornado-S was undergoing acceptance trials for deployment with the Russian Army. The new guided rocket may have a diameter of 300 millimeter as was reported erroneously with the Tornado-G rocket system. The Tornado-S rocket family maybe equipped with a variety of warheads with the possibility to increase its effective range to 200 kilometers in the near future.”Iskander VariantsIskander-KThe Iskander-K, 9M728 industrial designation, is the newest version of the Iskander road mobile tactical ballistic missile system featuring an extended range of up to 2,000 kilometers and a circular error probable (CEP) of up to 7 meters. The new weapon seems to be targeted against NATO's ballistic missile defense (BMD) system to be deployed in Europe and therefore should be equipped with a tactical nuclear warhead. The Iskander-K was under development as of late 2011 and still classified as top secret by the Russian Federation. According to new information the Iskander-K might be an hypersonic cruise missile capable of Mach 5 at an altitude of 50 kilometers. The Iskander-K, also referred to as SSC-8, entered service with the Russian Armed Forces in February 2017. Dismissing previous reports the Iskander-K is a subsonic cruise missile with a maximum range of 2,000 to 2,300 kilometers. The maximum range might be limited to 490 kilometers carrying a conventional warhead.Iskander Maneuverable“The Iskander Maneuverable is an improved variant with a maneuverable warhead and extended range to avoid interception by missile defenses. The short range missile has a range between 50 to 416 kilometers. The first reported test launch of the Iskander Maneuverable tactical ballistic missiles was carried out in August 2019.”Max range is 480kms to meet the 500km max range INF treaty supposedly.http://www.deagel.com/Offensive-Weapons/Iskander-M_a001871001.aspxThe R-500 missile has been designed to be deployed on the Tractor-Erector-Launcher (TEL) vehicles utilized by the Iskander missile system. The R-500 missile follows a non-purely-ballistic path including violent maneuvers in the terminal phase of flight to defeat missile defenses. Besides its quasi-ballistic flight path, the missile is equipped with a heavy payload of decoys for enhanced survivability against existing and planned missile defenses.M270DeepStrikeCan use something like this. “The DeepStrike is a long-range surface-to-surface missile being developed by Raytheon to meet the US Army Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) requirements. The DeepStrike has been designed to be launched from existing US Army M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS launchers using pods each equipped with two missiles. The missile has been designed to engage targets at a distance between 60 kilometers and 499 kilometers. The DeepStrike missile also features a new guidance system to achieve improved accuracy compared with the ATACMS tactical ballistic missile system. The US Army expects the new long-range weapon system to be fielded by 2023.”Europe uses the M270 and can utilize ATACMS which the 4th block is at a 300km range but no extended range yet to 500kms. If both sides start firing these the Russian troops still have more protection from their air defenses and EW systems designed for things like this.TanksT-14 Armata100km AESA radar meaning range can depend on radar horizon and a flying attached drone. Even if they do suck in the infrared technology field relying on France they got these assets to 1st identify their targets. Vacuum-1 has a 1 meter penetration and there is development work on the Vacuum-2 to go deeper regardless most protected front tank areas like Leopard 2A7, M1a2 SEP and Challenger 2 will still get destroyed with one hit from its KEP which is nearly 2km/s, 100 of these are planned for 2020. They are upgrading 400 T-90s to the T-14 standards, and upgrading T-72s to T-90 standards. 1100mm protection+ VS KEP with an additional 900mm RHA capsule for their troops.Leopards of 2A6 and 2A7 would be the only challenges but not enough for their newer tanks and the rest of Europe's tanks are not worth a challenge. I would also get into many of Russia’s robotic tanks but maybe for another time for another question on Quora.Dealing With Europe’s ships and SubsYasen-MThere are 2 planned Yasen-M Subs in development that have 10 VLS that can hold 40 zircons each meaning a potential to sink 80 ships and their current torpedoes outrange any other submarine.Futlyar“The Russian Navy Futlyar, also known as Fizik-2, is a deep water torpedo capable of a top speed of 60 knots and a maximum range of 35 nautical miles. Compared with the Fizik-1 the new torpedo features improved homing system, remote control system and range. Besides, the weapon would be able to reach a maximum depth of 540 yards (roughly 500 meters). It can be released by both surface fighting ships and submarines engaging both platforms from safe ranges. The Futlyar torpedo test program was completed by the Russian Navy by the end of 2017 with the new weapon to be deployed starting in 2018.”Worked on their stealth, while also have deeper depths to be less noticeable by Ship SONAR as well. Claimed the best SONAR in the world. and have neat things like thisVist-2“The Russian Navy Vist-2 is a small size hydro-acoustic countermeasure system designed to divert torpedo homing heads from surface ships and submarines. Besides, the Vist-2 decoy device is also able to jamming sonar systems typically used by submarines. The Vist-2 device creates a powerful hindrance for more than five minutes which silences the homing heads of enemy torpedoes and enemy submarines sonar arrays with the ability to simulate a false submarine or ship. The device is also able to emit radiation simulating the nuclear power plant of a submarine. The Vist-2 decoy first batch was delivered to the Pacific fleet of the Russian Navy in late 2016 and entered service in March 2017.”Also the submarines that carry Poseidon can sink ships with tsunamis consider Europe's entire fleet dead according to just these submarines alone.Conclusion to Conventional WarfareIt ends the same way the Russians are more suited for both conventional and nuclear warfare. With the military equipment the EU has in comparison for both types of warfare they do not have much of a chance to lay a dent on Russia’s military. They are keeping their swords sharp while EU NATO members relied too much on the U.S., dismantled most of their nuclear arsenal, military companies are not competitive to the level the U.S. or the Russians are as clearly shown in the above examples. I will say it again EU members of NATO are completely screwed without any support from the U.S.
