They were about the same size before Russia invaded.
Regardless, you're missing the point. Russia's military is way, way weaker than anyone could've though. People like to compare this to Iraq and America, but it's nothing like that. Not only did Iraq 'lose' quicker, but America never did conscription for Iraq like they did Iran.
I guess the only comparable thing may be Vietnam perhaps.
A couple EU countries together would probably wipe the floor with Russia. All of them together would steamroll it.
