Everything that stops two armies meeting

Anyone can compare two lists of tanks. The model is the rest of it.

Reach

It has to get there and back

Every strike needs a usable field inside combat radius, with the fuel to come home. India owns nine targets in Ukraine and can reach none of them.

Ground

Altitude decides what is usable

Forty-two zones with real elevation and climate. Above four thousand metres an armoured division is worth almost nothing and the helicopter built for the height wins.

Interception

The defence has to be rated for it

A weapon is engaged by a real system out of the defender's inventory, and only if that system is rated for what is coming. Sometimes it is not, and the weapon arrives.
