I don't know about you guys, bu academy city should be easily defeated ignoring the Espers. Russian S-300 missiles can easily track and shoot down any aircraft Academy city can offer. The S-300PMU-2 can launch a Mach 5.8 missiles capable of 195 km range and capable of engaging targets movign at mach 8.1 every 3 seconds. The Radar can detect 300 targets from 300km away while the guidance systems can track 12 targets and engage 6. Academy city is a very small state with no natural resources. A very limited production capability due to the area consumed largely by labs. Furthermore, the available space for a standing army is very small. A mere blockade will starve Academy city. No matter how advanced, Russia has far too large of a force for what probably less than a 1000 advanced mechas and aircrafts to defeat.
