    Modern ground would not be able to protect their supply chain from modern air. Bases would be leveled by day 2 with dwindling fuel and ammo supplies. Modern air wouldn’t need to bomb every tank and spend trillions they could just starve the war machine.

      This is a good point.

      But does the modern ground have missile launchers? Maybe conventional ballistic missiles? They could level airbases as well.

      Again it seems like this battle depends on topography and “first strike” timing.
