I agree with you there - the French already have superior air power deployed there - those squadrons they sent there basically are bigger than either of what the US or the Russians have deployed especailly since most likely they have their full weapons loadout
Whats interesting is that the French in the RDF area are basically part of the US effort - i.e. they arent directly fighting the Soviets but their backing of Iraqi rebels and going into Kuwait really threw a monkey wrench into the Soviet plans - i.e. they cant attack thru Iraq and Kuwait unless they want to go war with France
and if there is one thing that would win the war for NATO for sure it would be the Belgian and French armies joining NATO the war on the Russians
