Well, i played a scenario, Russia vs. Yugoslavia 1989.
I was on the Yugoslav side, and bought 70% MIG-29 with GROM TV-guided rockets,
and 30% M-84A MBT's and i had about 8-11 tanks, and nothing else.
The Russians had many MANPAD's and Tunguska SAM's. And their army,
6 pages full of infantry, tanks and APC's (I set the amount of "Money" to 10 000 for both of us, and all other settings were same for Yugos and russia) and i beat the crap out of them

I lost only 5 men on the ground (2 Tanks) and 5 planes. They lost 90% of their army due to MIG-29 and GROM's...
AIR POWER RULES!!!!!
