when the soviet union become Russia, ukraine and all those other countries, most of the modern equipment the Russian army had was left in the newly formed former soviet republics and what was left in Russia itself was much of the outdated and technologically inferior equipment that would have been used by the reserves and second line soldiers, so yes russia is currently much worse equiped than the US but, they are in the process of rebuilding and a fast rate, and as for the size of the russian army... Russia has 21 million total troops including reserves which would be readily mobilized as soon as the war starts. vs. the US' 3 Million total troops including reserves vs. Chinas 4 million troops (just thrown in for good measure)
