Paragraph 2(b) 4. We think that the offensive capabilities of the Russian naval and air forces have been under-estimated. The Russian air force is believed to be numerically superior to the Japanese and not inferior in quality. The Russians have a formidable submarine force. APPENDIX 'A' Paragraph 1. Strength and Organisation ARMY 5. We consider the figure of four to five million to be low. Allowing for proportionate corps and army troops, we reckon 250 such infantry divisions as alone being the equivalent of at least six million men.
