The key word here is potential. Nevertheless why should they be exagerated.
Prior to ww2, the Soviet Union had a little over 30 cavalry division (about 250,000 horsemen).
In T2K they have no more than that with an average of 1500 men in a cavalry unit. At most the red army has 50,000 horsemen. Why do you think this to be exagerated?
By 2000, that number is much lower:
USSR: 16,700 cavalry to which you add the 51st TD (4,000 in Austria). All of these units are probably not entire cavalry. That is equal to two WW2 cavalry division with one or two additional brigades.
Poland: 6,300 regular cavalry and 800 border guard cavalry.
Czechoslovakia: a few thousands mostly border guards.
Where do you see these figures to be exagerated especially as you have no indication on their level of readiness?
