Yeah you're right.  And there was no physical wall in the Fulda Gap to even
slow them down (except for mines but the Sov's doctrine was to simply drive
through them.  Losses?  Tough, this is war.).  The Sov's/Warsaw Pact
actually had more like 15,000 tanks to NATO's 5,000.  That would have been
quite a race meet if those boys had ever gotten together what with gunfights
breaking out in tech inspection and all.
